Another attempt at a campaign would be launched as Magi-Androids flew to the busy areas and began to hand out flyers about the good things Lustre had done in his life, an attempt to boost his reputation somewhat so that whatever schemes Mann or Hermitage hatched would fall flat. They were in the down town area.

At the same time however in the capital region?s epi-center Aseron was walking over to a soon to be demolished store that was the main source of income for a poor family. Should he bail them out? Well since he was in the business district he thought he would handle it himself. So he walked over to the crew about to demolish, passed them a few credit chips and cancelled the demolition saving the family from bankruptcy at the moment.

Now he walked over to the child and took out his galaxy phone, erasing all his contacts from it and all his personal files from it. Kneeling before the child so he could look said child in the face, Aseron said kindly to the child. ?You might need this. If your family ever needs help or anything?give me a call. Just push 1.? He had programmed the number of his phone into the speed dial of the phone he was giving the child as a present.

While he did this, television ads began to go in place of commercial. The background of a Zarethian Flag was chosen this time for his commercial and the anthem of the Zarethians played in the background.

"People of Teffilin. I am Aseron Lustre. Those of you who don't know me are obviously few and far between. The information given by Interpol about me is false and wrong. And to those of you who would spread defaming messages against me I shall only say this, quit while you are ahead. "

And at that pictures of him assisting charities, helping with construction projects and being a good samaitan played all over the planet in place of the normal commercials.The words VOTE FOR LUSTRE were engraved on the flag at the moment in time, shining brilliant different colors against the background of the Zarethian Flag.
And then his commercial ended.

"Gee thanks mister!" He said, running and taking the phone.

This stunt certainly gave him more people looking at him.

With that, he walked over to the crowds that had gathered. "If elected the poor, and those about to lose their businesses will not lose them while I am in the sentate, you can take that assurance to your families."

They were hopeful but very skeptical.

With that he continued his spree of good deeds at the moment, he was trying to make himself on the popular roll to become stronger among the senators, so that he would build up a good reputation among the people. Magi-Androids handed out brochures, as televisionm ads for Lustre went off all over the planet.

"Lustre is a good man. Vote for him. He is named after your saviour Aser after all."

Instead of paying the steep fee of 750,000 credits Aseron Lustre decided on something else. He called up Mazoc on his cell phone and asked. "Can I have access to the pictures and video of your meeting with Ezra Tan please Elder? I need it for something that has come up recently about me being in the race. You see I complained about some of Interpol's information being false and incorrect because it was outdated. And extremely outdated after you read Ezra's mind. Which cleared him of terrorist charges I believe if that is the case, then they had no legal basis for publishing their claims in the channel 7 news." He would wait to pay the fee until the phone call got through.

Beware Ye Who Enter Here · « **Reply #7 on:** June 08, 2011, 08:30:08 PM »

When Masoc heard of this he swore. Damn Interpol and their interference. He was rarely angry but this was a bit much. He sent the recording of Ezra to Lustre.

Zero · « **Reply #8 on:** June 08, 2011, 08:40:59 PM »

Aseron then went over to the local news station, published the information, thanked Mazoc and asked him what he should do if another similar occurrence were to happen at the moment in time. Well he did not feel like dealing with the idiots of Interpol and was tempted to shoot them if they came within 500 feet of him at this point. So all he had to do now was find some way to ensure they could not broadcast their information. "Mazoc, do you mind blackballing them from using our media until the election is over?"

Beware Ye Who Enter Here · « **Reply #9 on:** June 08, 2011, 09:12:42 PM »

Masoc pondered this for a moment before agreeing. "Ill do something about them." He says, before telling him to get the TV companies to report it.

Zero · « **Reply #10 on:** June 08, 2011, 09:27:32 PM »

"Alright." said Aseron over to the council member Mazoc over the phone. "So, how am I supposed to keep them from interfering if they decide to make an early return of their complaints?" He listened for the moment in time, and then walked over to one of the media officials.He handed them the files on Ezra, which he had printed out/recorded to microchip, and a sound recording of the call he had made with Mazoc. "Please publish this."

Beware Ye Who Enter Here · « **Reply #11 on:** June 08, 2011, 09:29:02 PM »

"I'll think of something." Masoc said. The news would publish the information later that night.

Zero · « **Reply #12 on:** June 08, 2011, 09:35:24 PM »

Waiting until later that night in his office, Aseron Lustre thought of his plan that could be used at the moment in time. Now he had his mission that needed to get done at the moment in time. But to do that he would need to make sure certain parties could not intervene in the election, including Interpol. Now he turned his attention towards Mazoc and called him once more at the moment in time. "Also Mazoc...what should I do since hermitage is the one who gave it to the news?"

Beware Ye Who Enter Here · « **Reply #13 on:** June 08, 2011, 09:38:21 PM »

"You cant touch him unless you could somehow legally discredit him." Masoc told him.

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #14 on:** June 08, 2011, 09:42:45 PM »

OOCn Declassified documents under the Zarethian Freedom of Information act.

"Can't touch him huh? Also, could you waive my fine? Since it is unjust as my information was true, and theirs was not at the moment the fine was issued?" asked Aseron Lustre considering matters at the moment in time that would allow him not to have to pay a fee for telling the truth currently. While he waited for his response, he began to go take his other phone and prepared to call a delivery resteraunt. He would be working late tonight, and would need some food likely.

Calling up Mil Hut with his spare phone he said. "I'll have 12 Qi wraps, a salad, a pitcher of La'con brew and some wine. Also, throw in any foods you have that are high in protein as well, and anything with caffeine that you have. I have a long night ahead of me at the moment in time. " Then he told them the code to access his account, hung up and went over to the one Masoc was on. "So Masoc, anything you can do such as reprimand him?"

Beware Ye Who Enter Here · « **Reply #16 on:** June 08, 2011, 09:53:45 PM »

"Nope. Hes not got immunity but he has connections. And you have nothing on him." Masoc said.

The poor, poor server at the Mil Hut. They just got a new batch of food out and one person ordered it all. Then several more people arrived. "It'll be there in fifteen minutes, sir." She said.

"I can wait," said Mr. Yevit. He was a patient man.

Zero · « **Reply #18 on:** June 08, 2011, 10:05:33 PM »

Great. He would be paying fees many a moon if Interpol had their way, and there was the problem that he had NO connections. Well, for the current period of time, he might just have to pay. But Lustre was not quite willing to pay those idiots since he had proven beyond a shadow of a reasonable doubt. Going over to the phone with the other person on it, he said to them. "Well, alright. 15 minutes. " And then he went over to the other phone, and said to Mazoc. "See what you can do to get the free waived. I'll see what info I can get on Hermitage."

Waiting the stretch of time that had been recommended by the waiters or waitresses or cashiers at the other end, Aseron decided that he would make a call during this season so that he could have a solution to this madness. But what kind of call would he need to make now to free himself from those idiots?

Looking through the peep hole of his door he waited for the delivery person to arrive so that he could get the food that he wanted now because it seemed that he was hungry.

Beware Ye Who Enter Here · « **Reply #19 on:** June 08, 2011, 10:08:15 PM »

There were two delivery people there, each stacked with the food. They struggled to ring the door bell but eventually did.

"Im working on the fee." Masoc told him.

Zero · « **Reply #20 on:** June 08, 2011, 10:13:52 PM »

Welcoming the people into his campaign office, Aseron led them to the living room area of his office and instructed them to set the food down on a sturdy oak table he had in the room. For that would be where he would eat the food when he got good and ready to. Of course, he still had the fee to deal with. If those idiots wanted to play fee wars, perhaps he could do something about it but what would be possible? Any slander or libel would get more of a fine, or expulsion from the race and likely because Interpol held all the advantages even using the truth would get him in trouble. Perhaps if he postponed his campaign, that would be better.

Beware Ye Who Enter Here · « **Reply #21 on:** June 08, 2011, 10:19:17 PM »

They did so and asked for payment.

Zero · « **Reply #22 on:** June 08, 2011, 10:21:22 PM »

Handing them twice the payment, that was needed Aseron asked them. "Did Hermitage ever buy food in bulk from you by any possiblity or chance?" Well he hoped that might work, to dispel him from this problem so that he would be free of this madness that was a problem, because he didn't want to deal with those idiots most of the time. When they sat the food down, he paid them thrice what the needed amount was.

Beware Ye Who Enter Here · « **Reply #23 on:** June 08, 2011, 10:24:30 PM »

They replied they didnt even know who he was.

Zero · « **Reply #24 on:** June 08, 2011, 10:28:56 PM »

"Alright. Feel free to head back to work. Also have a bigger order than this ready in 2 hours." With that, he sat down and bega to munch on the food immediately. For in this current moment, he needed to eat a lot of food as his body metabolized things too quickly for his own tastes. Obviosuly he would need something to deal with those idiots of Interpol and their harassment of him and Ezra. His phone rang, it was Ezra.

"Wait. You want me to what? Take Will Atlas and get him a weapon license with my senate seat, well you see....as of yet I have not won the election...." An awkward silence followed, and then Ezra gave him instructions to do after he finished eating, and so he resumed eating.

He then called Masoc once more. "Got it gone yet? Or should I pay it?"
