Lore:Log 02: Protests

This morning, I was roused from contemplative prayer by the sound of muffled shouting. Upon investigation, I discovered a sizeable group of United Colonies citizens engaged in a protest on my doorstep. They are opposed to their government's attempts to establish diplomatic ties with House Va'ruun, and are petitioning for the immediate shuttering of the embassy.

My attempts to engage them in discussion were fruitless. Most would not speak with me, and those who did refused to believe that our intentions in New Atlantis were purely peaceful. The embassy guards were eventually required to intervene, forcing me back into the building when the crowd's anger began to manifest as threats to my well-being.

I intend to discuss this matter with my counterparts in the United Colonies. Their aid will be essential if this effort is to succeed... though I fear this will not be an isolated incident.
