Priorities
With the creation of the Future Foundation, there could be no doubt that Reed's focus was on moving mankind forward, but there are a few things that bore constant observation to prevent movement in the opposite direction. One of those things was Latveria.

With the recent ascension of Kristoff Vernard to Latveria's throne, the question was not whether or not he could bring greater stability to the tiny nation - but what Doom was up to that would distract him from his Latverian responsibilities.

Fortunately, there was a direct approach to the problem available - go straight to the source. He activates his secure satellite-link transmissions equipment, opening a communications channel to the Latverian Regent himself.

	"Good morning, Dr. Richards." It was nearly evening in Doomstadt, but Kristoff was of the opinion one should greet based on what one knew to be the case. (Reply to this)(Thread)

"That's an encouraging sentiment, coming from the regent of Latveria."

Reed smiles a little, and then continues.

"I won't insult you by assuming you haven't divined my other motive for this contact, and I don't expect you to betray any confidences, Kristoff - but history has shown me that Victor is at his most dangerous when he is at his least visible. And after the situation with Wakanda.."

He shakes his head.

"The less said about that, the better. I was wondering if there was anything you felt comfortable telling me about his whereabouts or status."

	"Yes, Dr. Richards. I know. The Master has not disclosed his itinerary, or the nature of his current private researches," Kristoff says with total honesty in his voice. "All I can say is that I know he has the best of intentions for the good of Latveria and the good of the world." He smiles sadly. "And I also know what little reassurance that will be."

	Reed nods, almost seeming saddened by the predictability of it all. "Victor and I have done this for too long, I think - but so long as we are both convinced of the rightness of our cause, I can see no end. In the meantime, at least, I can be grateful that Latveria is in your hands, Kristoff." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kristoff nodded solemnly. "Thank you, Dr. Richards. I intend to do my best." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Of course. And I'm always happy to offer advice, should you desire it. Be well, Kristoff." (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Done. riiichaaards 2011-05-16 12:39 am UTC (link)
