Embassy of New Vegeta

From AltWiki
Jump to: navigation, search

It is only recently that the Saiyans have established an official diplomatic presence in the land of Cardinal. The first Saiyan charged with the position of Ambassador to Cardinal, Cascabel Jadoku, established the official connection between the Saiyan monarchy and the government of Cardinal. Her first task upon arriving on Earth was to see to the construction of an embassy that would be a fitting representation of her people on Earth. This she accomplished, and now the Saiyan Embassy is the primary center for contact and communication between the two planets.

The majority of the materials of which the building was constructed were carried by cargo ship from New Vegeta itself. The embassy is an imposing yet simple edifice of stone blocks and massive ironwood beams, with polished stone floors throughout. Furniture and decor are less sparse than they would be in a government building on New Vegeta, to blend in somewhat with Earthly sensibilities, but what there is, is equally as heavy, solid, and sturdy as the building itself. The whole facility is located on a sizeable plot of land outside Central. It is also located a short distance from Sanctuary, so that the ambassador is readily able to tend to the difficulties of any of Earth's Saiyan populace who reside or train at Chadisekhar's facility.

Facilities/Points of Interest

  • Diplomatic Residence - The Ambassador's personal quarters, as well as those of the embassy staff, and a Saiyan-sized kitchen and store of food are located in the west wing.
  • Meeting Facilities - The embassy houses several conference rooms, from small enough for one-on-one discussions to large enough for approximately a 100-person audience or press conference, all in the east wing.
  • Formal Reception Hall - The north wing is given over entirely to a formal reception hall, which can be configured for any purpose that becomes necessary, be it a visit from the king or hosting an Earth event.
  • Educational Facility - Classrooms, high-gravity acclimation and training rooms, and a gym for use of the embassy staff are located in a separate building on the grounds, located to the rear of the embassy proper.
  • Greenhouse - Two separate buildings from the embassy itself, each greenhouse spans over three acres. Inside one, food crops ordinarily native to New Vegeta are farmed for Embassy use, and inside the other, the environment of the Saiyan world's jungle valleys is replicated in miniature. -- Note: The latter presently also serves as a home/enclosure for the current ambassador's personal pet (see note below). There are signs posted at twenty-foot intervals around the building with warnings printed in Saiya-go and Cardinalian common.
  • Holding Cell - In a basement beneath the facility is a holding cell. The walls are reinforced with the same isoferrite material used to reinforce the combat arenas on New Vegeta, and the cell can hold the majority of powered offenders for at least a short period of time.

Laws and Rules

As with most such facilities, the Saiyan Embassy and attached grounds are considered, although located on Earth, to be New Vegetan territory. However, out of respect for the newly-enacted Cardinal Power Wielder Act, Embassy security will handle most major offenses committed on the property by detaining and turning over the offender to appropriate Cardinalian authorities, i.e. the mortal police or the Ranger Guard. The sole exception to this is if the offender in question is a New Vegetan citizen wanted for major crimes (murder, treason, etc.) on New Vegeta itself, in which case they will be extradited by portal and under guard back to New Vegeta as soon as such extradition can be expeditiously negotiated with the Cardinalian government.

The following minor offenses will not result in the offender being arrested, but will result in their being expelled forcefully from the grounds. Returning to the embassy while such expulsion order is still in force will result in the offender being turned over to the local authorities on trespassing charges.

  • Sparring on embassy grounds outside of designated training rooms
  • Minor verbal or telepathic harassment of any Ambassadorial staff
  • Threatening or harassing any guest or visitor to the Embassy


The Embassy facilities are closed from one half hour before sunset on the evening of the full moon (the 5th of each RL month, as per room rules) until dawn of the following morning. Any Saiyan or half-Saiyan seeking sanctuary on that night will be permitted to shelter within the Embassy walls for the evening, and will be fed and medically cared for during the full moon night regardless of citizenship or legal status. However, anyone without other legitimate business within the Embassy facility will be politely ejected upon re-opening in the morning.

Any New Vegetan citizen or Cardinalian Saiyan or halfbreed wishing to attain New Vegetan citizenship may seek asylum within the Embassy facility. However, any individual doing so will be investigated by embassy staff. If any individual seeking asylum is a criminal wanted under Cardinalian laws, they will be required to stand trial under said Cardinalian laws. Depending on the circumstances of the crime, Embassy staff may or may not choose to negotiate for early release and permanent deportation to New Vegeta as an alternative to imprisonment.

Security

The Embassy facilities and grounds are monitored in total with video surveillance systems capable of capturing powered-level movement, and all surveillance is recorded. The recordings are kept in digital format for a period of six (6) RL months, and may be volunteered to Cardinalian authorities as evidence in criminal cases. Additionally, the Embassy has its own all-Saiyan security staff who are trained and fully authorized in the use of non-lethal force with regard to maintaining a minimum of property destruction.

Associated Characters

  • Cascabel Jadoku - Saiyan Ambassador
  • Susuri - The ambassador's pet, who resides in the jungle greenhouse. Susuri is a surikah, or New Vegetan jungle rattlesnake, about eighteen feet long and with a physical powerlevel of approximately 25,000. The snake's bite carries with it an extremely potent neurotoxic venom, however, human and Saiyan antivenin serum have been provided to local hospitals. Additionally, the healers known to frequent the powered community have also been granted access to the snake in order to become familiar with its properties, that they may better deal with any accidental or spar-inflicted bites.

OOC Notes

Any mun wishing to play a character who is attached to the Embassy staff in some way is encouraged to do so. However, before submitting an application, a background and rough outline of techs/abilities and the character's position at the Embassy must be approved by the mun controlling the ambassador character (at present, this is Tali). At present, unless there are extremely well-written extenuating circumstances, all New Vegetan Ambassadorial staff must be female. Without exception, all staff MUST be Saiyan or half-Saiyan. Cardinalian Saiyan or half-Saiyan employee characters will be permitted, and may in fact be male, but will be in largely domestic positions (ie cooks, cleaning staff, groundskeeping).
