Diplomatic Disaster: chapter 4 progress 1

So...after all that reviewing I settled down to writing. I was tired, but wanted to get some words in.

I'm more tired now (an hour later) but I have 1024 words written! Finished chapter 3, started chapter 4. It's all horrendous rough draftyness, but its words which is what I need right now. May I zoom through the draft and crack on with the edits.

The progtags have now crashed - although they are currently arguing the definition of the word crash. Rescue will appear by the end of the chapter...although that'll cause its own problems.
