Edna is convinced that there is a person behind this as it doesnt seem natural and briefly wonders if it is in some way connected with the ill looking agent she saw earlier.
Suddently glad that she is no longer in the middle of the crowd, but aware there is unlikely to be any way to get out of the room now, she decides her best bet is to stay out of the way over by the trophy cabinets and see what this turns into.
All of sudden, there is a gun shot as an angry man in the crowd starts taking wild shots towards the Emperor, crying out about misplaced business incentives.
A second later, all of his guards have activated their weapons (electrostaffs for his inner circle, force pikes for the senior guards, and just drawing guns for the general guards) and start to move in. They show no restraint at all in killing everyone in their way to get to the attacker, and an enormous panic starts. People are scattering and running all over.
ok Edna needs to create a divsersion. She looks around for someone on the opposite side of the room to the exit to be her identified trouble maker. Spotted - a guy in a dark blue robes and a black cloak over by the far wall. The cars on his face and his shaven head instantly make him look rough and stand out from the crowd.
Edna screams to attaract the guards attention. "Him over there" she points to the scar faced man. "In the black cloak and the shaved head. He had a blaster aimed at the Emperor!".
Edna, you dash out of the darn palace as fast as you can.
You get to the exit you came out by, and soon notice two things.
First, it is a full scale riot outside- order has broken down., Cars and buildings are being burnt and the guards are starting to fire indiscriminately into the crowd. You see groups of Rivas's force-pike armed elite guards being formed up preparing to deploy.
The other thing you notice is the Bureau Agent. He, like you, is by the exit staring at the chaos outside. When you come out, he hears you, turns, and looks you in the face.
I should probably mention the squat but enormously muscley and dangerous grey-skinned pig-like being at his side, too.
