Thane security guard questions suspect

A dispatch from THAMUS (Celts & CATS leader)

A security guard employed by the Celtic thanes at the Malta peace talks approaches a suspected eagle member of the lemur-allied multi-predator RAP (Raptor Air Protection) community outside the hotel balcony of Thane delegation leader Thamus.
Using his trademark understated question, "Yes, can I help you?", this alert member of CATS (Celtic and Thane security) saw off the uneasy intruder, who simply mumbled "Oh, I don't think so," and fled.
Conference observers say that while the elite RAP is nominally neutral and remains friendly with both sides, recent documents intercepted by thane intelligence reveal the RAP is seriously considering a lemur request to provide air support in the event of hostilities.
Thane diplomats have been trying to persuade RAP officers that they are being duped by the superficially charming lemurs. The thanes say RAP is ignoring mounting evidence that only alien backing could explain the newly aggressive stance of what were once minor simian nonentities from a far-away country of which we knew little.
Asked to comment, a raptor diplomat would only say: "We are accustomed to looking at things from a higher perspective."
