2038
Ambassador Lord Thomas of Ashford, 1st Baron of Ashford, is the Northern Kingdom's representative on the neutral grounds of the Chicxulub Crater. Since the arrival of the diplomatic team in 2035, the ambassador spent most of his time in the recently finished Ambassador's Manor. When debates started that involved the Northern Kingdom, the ambassador was suddenly quite active. The rising activity made the Manor and surrounding facilities for the other representatives look similar to a startled anthill.
After a few hours a press conference is called in front of the Northern Kingdom Embassy. The following is then streamed live to the rest of the Embassies.
A secretary enters the podium.
"In the name of Her Majesty, Queen Louise the First of the Northern Kingdom, Ambassador Lord Thomas of Ashford, 1st Baron of Ashford, will now speak to you. "
The secretary steps down and the Ambassador enters.
"I, Ambassador of the Northern Kingdom, Lord Thomas of Ashford, 1st Baron of Ashford, shall now speak to you, in the name of Her Majesty, Queen Louise the First of the Northern Kingdom, about the recent concerns of our neighbours involving apparent 'military activities' in our Northern Kingdom.
First, however, I would like to speak praise where praise is due. Our renown geology team, led by Veronika Zacharias, has made incredible discoveries. Only a few years back they found large deposits of Trans-Newtonian materials. This is only a small and only one example of the efforts and the contribution of the Northern Kingdom for a better life on our planet – for everyone.
We also lost a very scientist, Prof. Lothar Tell, a few years back. He was a very important member of the scientific society, especially on the subjects of Trans-Newtonian technology in the areas of Ground Combat and Logistics. His death was a fatal blow.
However I want to dismiss all claims that he died in conjunction with any research regarding new weapon systems. His death was a very tragic car accident and his family is still in grief. No wild theories about his death will change that fact.
Our glorious Northern Kingdom has nothing to hide and we strife to improve the life for everyone on this planet. We do not wish for conflict. All reports of military academy are simply training exercises. We always want to be prepared to defend ourselves, nothing more. Equipping our troops with state of the art equipment is part of this defence improvement as well.
Our kingdom is of course open to all discussion if we can avoid conflict this way.
We cannot speak for the Inuk however, and we do not have any other information on them either. Any and all connection between them and our efforts are non-existant. I am also sorry to inform you that I have no time for questions right now, so I will take my leave.
All hail Her Imperial and Royal Majesty Louise the First, Queen of the Northern Kingdom! All hail the Northern Kingdom!"
Leaving the shouting press behind the ambassador then simply turns around and retreats into his Manor. The gates to the Embassy are quickly closed and the press left outside.
