the eruption of Mt. Huojuren, CEO Ren Guanting of the Tiankong Group (RTK) announced that the caizu would temporarily shift some of its resources to aid Northern Dalibor.
The disaster is believed to potentially have killed thousands of people, and destroyed infrastructure and property across the island, and was in fact felt across a huge swath of Southern Dovani, as far away as Kimlien.
"I strongly denounce that lack of involvement that the President of Dalibor has shown during this crisis. His job as his nation's leader is to serve the people, not have his people serve him lobster and caviar on golden plate while they struggle to survive!" said a visibly distraught Ren, "I will do everything in my, and my company's power to bring back life into the reaches of the long-neglected Outlands in Dalibor, as even in the private sector, it is still a human responsibility to help those in need, a lesson I hope the government in Dalibor City can learn."
Ms. Ren also questioned the Indralan government, particularly calling out the foreign minister for his lack of response to the crisis. "Let's not pretend that Foreign Minister Pan Xun and the Indralan government have no fault either," the Tiankong CEO said, "It is his role to send aid to countries in need, as established by our laws, and if I've ever seen need, this is definitely it. Furthermore, some people may not have thought of this, but a worsening situation in Dalibor will only lead to a degradation in Indrala, as refugees arrive and the smoke from the still burning volcano eventually engulfs our nation."
She finished up her statement by thanking the United Development Aid Program for
its quick response to the situation in Dalibor.
Tiankong's efforts will mainly focus on helping to rebuild the infrastructure and buildings destroyed by the eruption, hoping to install new systems across the Outlands with green technology developed by the caizu. Their efforts will also involve the use of the conglomerate's floating "
Lotus Cities" as temporary housing for the many people displaced, sites which while providing food, medicine, water, and other essentials will be stuck along the coast. However, teams of Tiankong workers will head into the heartland of the eruption to get out people near the volcano and begin reconstruction.
The mission will also be the first field test of Tiankong's
newly unveiled automated cargo ships, which will transport supplies to the port city and regroup with the aid workers who flew in by helicopter to Atawan and Yingu before moving towards the disaster site.
Ren has also reportedly offered Chan Heng, mayor of Yingu, a future deal to develop his city, a move which could make it a rising power on the island of Dalibor, especially as its residents
struggle for control of the government, as well as expand Tiankong's interests on the island.
8 August 4460 (OOC: POSTDATED)Rumours fly about Crown Prince Luzhen and Princess Jintana of HanzenThe international, royal pair seem to be cozing up to each other latelyPrincess Jintana and Crown Prince Sun LuzhenTIAN'AN, Capital Region: Both Indrala's Crown Prince Sun Luzhen and Hanzen's Princess Jintana Udomprecha have been spotted together on multiple occasions, sparking speculation that the two may be romantically involved.
The two royals were first introduced at the age of 16 (Luzhen) and 15 (Jintana), when the King of Hanzen, the Princess's father, requested that the Tianxing Emperor teach his children in Tian'an. It is there that both of them first grew close, after the Crown Prince became close friends with his Hanzenese counterpart: Sonchai Udomprecha, also 15.
Since her return to Hanzen in June of 4488, Princess Jintana has been in and out of the country, sometimes accompanied by her twin brother, but on most occasians alone. This alone caused many fans of the royals to raise eyebrows, yet nothing had been confirmed.
However, this past week, a source from the palace, who has requested anonymity, has told us that Jintana has been spending most of her trips to Tian'an with the Crown Prince, almost an assurance that a relationship is blossoming between the two.
