Who: Ra's al Ghul, Ubu (npc).
Where: Qurac
When: Saturday, June 5th, 2010
Summary: Ra's wanders through the reconstruction efforts alongside Ubu
A wasteland. That's what much of Qurac had become. As Ra's wandered through the workers, refugees, and other vagrants alongside Ubu he wore a scowl that made more than one man give him a wide berth. That Jade had killed countless people here did not bother Ra's. That she had toppled much of the country and more or less destroyed the economy was not a concern of his either. Truth be told, had she worked with him, he would have encouraged her efforts, though the method of delivery would have been much different, for as easy as it would be for him to nuke the planet himself to reduce the world population, he would never risk destroying the Earth itself.
And that was precisely what Jade had done, either ignorant or unconcerned with how close she had come to starting a nuclear war that would have destroyed the planet and everyone on it.
"M'Lord, it is as you suspected", thundered Ubu to one side of Ra's. "She is in Belle Reeve. At your word, our contacts there will see that justice is done."
Ra's paused over a particularly nasty area of scorched Earth, idly considering how nothing would likely ever grow there again, as he considered what his companion had said. It really was true. At one single world, he could see Jade killed for what she had done from the other side of the planet, but that would be too easy. Too leniant. In due time, he would see that she answered for her crimes in a manner no court of justice would ever approve of in this day and age, but for now... for now he would let her rot, much like much of Qurac. Better to let her wonder if each day and passing moment would be her last, for surely she knew he would come after her after what she had done.
"Tell them to stand down", Ra's said simply, without explanation. Nodding immediately, Ubu stepped away to convey the order, leaving his master for the moment.
Taking a knee, he reached into the sand, letting it fall through his fingers, as he shook his head ever so slowly.
"In due time", he said quietly, thinking of Jade. "In due time..."
