Reports are coming in that Speedster has apprehended the
Lightning Bug and turned him over to the NRPD.
While no Peace Force members or Atlanteans seemed worried about it,
attendees couldn’t help but think of last year’s incident with the Mind Master.
Regardless, the attendees took a break from the meetings
during the incident just to be sure.
“Well, we got to a certain point in the talks when the news broke about
Speedster,” said Senator Holloway. “I
was here last year for the meetings, and everyone, American and Atlantean,
started looking at each other a little strangely. But taking a break certainly helped ease any
worries.”
As for progress made, no one was willing to say
much. “We made progress, sure,” said
Senator Saluzzi. “Things got stalled by
the news, but I think we’re going to make progress on trade routes.” Saluzzi couldn’t confirm if talks on the
proposed Atlantis Underway had started.
With Lightning Bug in police custody, the break ended,
and attendees returned to their meetings.
Not much was said, but rumors are popping up about an alternative to the
Underway. More information when it
becomes available.
