Video 001 (a couple of hours after the bombing
[Iroh does not look pleased, his brow is furrowed and he is not his usual happy and calm self. Today he is angry, and though not one to allow his anger to get the better of it, he cannot simply put it aside. His life has been greatly impacted, and this is the second time he has been affected by a bombing. He clears his throat, and speaks very clearly]
Brooke's has been blown up and destroyed. For those of you who work there, I am afraid there is still much damage to survey to give a realistic timeframe when and if a return to work can happen, I apologize to any hardship this may cause you.
[He takes a breath]
This is the second bombing I have been involved in, the first happened with the Newcomer apartments. This was an entirely unprovoked and hateful attack upon a place of business. It seems as though the restaurant was considered an insult or a threat to certain parties. We arrive in an unfamiliar area, follow new rules, and conduct business according to the traditions of our forced new settlement, and this is how it is rewarded, disgusting.
[He has a genuine look of disgust on his face]
I refuse to be intimidated by these actions, they are the marks of a cowardly group. This sort of violence is the action of those desperate and deranged. I will dedicate all resources and time I can, to help ensuring that those responsible will be brought to justice. Honour demands no less.
[He seems about to shut his NV off before he pauses for a moment]
A single arrow is easily broken, but not ten in a bundle.
[Then the video clicks off]

Private;
I know people, Iroh. People who can put an end to this. It's what they do. And it won't be bloody, but it'll be effective. It's not fair that they keep trying to push us around like this.
Private;
I appreciate the sentiment Christina, and I will keep it in mind. For now however, I will attempt to follow things mostly by the books.
[Public and legal guilt would harm them more then anything]
Life is often not fair, no matter where you are. When you find yourself with an enemy, it is best to avoid open confrontation for as long as possible, and seek to wear them down in other ways.
For to win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill.
