Custodian locks down Metz-Leonid; XDA (reluctantly) hold down the city.

When the Custodian remained silent on the Supreme Revolutionary Courts decision to partially rule against the NDA, many expected that the Custodian will simply give up in disgrace and silence. This week however, those expectations have dissolved as despite legal authority being gone, it seems that the Custodian holds some influence left and with the help of the Peoples Commissar of Revolutionary Defense, Tsultrim, a handful of "loyal" XDA units have been deployed to lock down Metz-Leonid, both to prevent PAX from reopening, using the argument that Metz-Leonid is unstable and thus, any reconvening and reopening of PAX would be ill-advised.

Of course, with the SRCs ruling, most courts have dismissed the argument from the Custodian, and most of the XDA has ignored the order to reinforce Metz-Leonid (this however, hasn't stopped many officers from resigning due to, whether they wanted to or not, being a component in allowing the Custodian to hang onto power further). For all intents and purposes, whatever legally remains of the Custodian government is simply there to keep basic government functions afloat until PAX reopens. But the loyalists to the Custodian have held up in Metz-Leonid, determined to try to wait things out and hope for the best.

Politically however, the Socialist Unity Party (and the assorted parties under its wing) have continued to endorse the Custodian, only bleeding a handful of supporters. However, the internal contradictions of the Socialist Unity Party are slowly emerging and if the Custodian can't keep control of the government, how will he keep the SUP united? Whatever the case, with Metz-Leonid locked down, it's now a waiting game. PAX will be reopened, but whether it's under a fair banner or not depends on how long the capital is locked down.
