BEEP. BEEP.
Robert Davis took out his datapad to stop the incessant beeping that his device was making, but, as he was touching the screen, his eyes caught the text. The man paused before casting a hardened glance at Eddy.
"What you do is your own decision. I choose to move forward, despite what the former princess has done. The answers will come later."
The Sky Marshall then stood up. He looked to Tio and nodded politely.
"Thank you for hosting this summit, first and foremost," he began. "Nepleslia is beginning a large scale of expansion to the galactic north and northwest, with the intent of securing necessary resources to further her productive capabilities. The nation has just come out of its own conflict with Red forces and needs to focus the minds of the people on matters more constructive. In doing so, we hope that our citizens can put behind what troubles them and see that their efforts can be directed towards growth rather than destruction.
On the home front, Nepleslia is making powerful steps towards increasing the quality of life of her citizens by providing cheap, adequate healthcare, proper transportation facilities and virtuous employment. Illegal drug usage has decreased sharply with the introduction of safe, viable alternatives for... recreational physical stimulus.
The new government is coming out of a dark age in which a single man of power, coerced and corrupted by his surroundings, mislead the people to serve his wrong ideas of what best served his nation. We are now a democratic nation of the people, and it is to the people Eddy and I answer."
He paused to emphasize that last part.
"Nepleslia is not a bloodthirsty nation or a nation of barbarians, as some may think. We have a unique cultural identity that must be respected just as any other. We seek the same things out of this conference, peace and reconciliation, that Yamatai, and perhaps all nations do. We are willing to help in the facilitation of this goal.
But please understand that our people do not place their trust easily, because we are so often labeled the nation of aliens, mutants and freaks. Unfortunately, others have not given us much opportunity to place that trust, and we have been hardened. However, if given the opportunity to be trusted, and shown the respect and kindness that all people seek, I am certain that Nepleslia and her people will put their full trust into you. Thank you."
He sat back down. The Sky Marshall's mind was ablaze with thought, as to how to handle the recent event. Just laying it out on the table would be a disaster...
