(My apologies for any mangling of the story in question. Right about when this incident became official Canon was when I stopped reading the new sourcebooks...)


A minor but from the perspective of the IW powers important incident, and one that would *guarantee* the highest levels of interest and surveillance possible:

A Great Dragon was seen, and I think even filmed, coming out of (and manipulating?) a semi-permanent and probably inter dimensional Gate. This incident made the news planet-wide and could easily be picked up even by casual orbital surveillance that picks up news broadcasts.

I forget the name, but the death of Dunkelzhan (sp?) after he/ it became President left a literal hole in the Aether. There was a great deal of curiosity about said hole, especially as the Dragons weren't talking. A Dragon came through this hole FROM THE OTHER SIDE.

To the IW powers, this incident more than any others would make them crap their collective pants. It proves beyond a reasonable doubt that Dragons (at the very least Dragons, and possibly others) have extra-planar travel capabilities.

Once they realize just how capable Dragons are they might just nuke the whole planet if they think they could get away with it...
