YE 44.5
Sometimes not having a personal life paid off. Vec had done his usual practice of banking leave days and taking off a large chunk of time to go on a backpacking trip. Today, he sat in a diner, ruck taking up the seat across from him. The coffee was trash, but for once he didn’t care.
Vec stared in wrapped attention at the news broadcast behind the bar. "Well, surely he has a right to speak for his people and express other opinions? People come from all kinds of cultures and experiences-" the Nepleslian on screen was saying.
Yeah, people like me, if I’d stayed on Tallus, I’d be a large animal vet, and pulling teeth on local rangers. The Rescue Jumper almost spit out his coffee at the Neko commentator’s tirade. He’d spent enough time out in the edges of Yamatai space to know how wrong the woman was. Vec managed to get his blossoming rage under control in time to hear the Neo-Caelisolans Senator's words.
"Unless you were born and raised in an imperial family, or the Star Army, or never visited another nation, or even a suzerainty.. You understand that people vary. Beliefs vary. Perhaps the way we do things CAN be improved. That by pooling our thoughts, experiences and intellect together that we could build a better Yamatai than it is. And for that purpose I would like to announce Yamatai's first political party. The Discourse Party. We hope for--"
To Vec’s surprise, a Neko rushed the stage and the entire feed erupted into chaos.
—-About a month later—-
Vec was settling down nicely in his new post. His quarters were still pretty spartan but it was hard for it not to be when he only owned a small handful of non-Star Army issued items. A music player and accessories and an old acoustic guitar he was plucking at as he laid on his bed. Something niggled at him from the meeting. That science officer looked familiar. But why? A flame-winged Neo-Caelisolan shouldn’t be hard to forget. Vec struck an off key chord as it hit him. He was the Discourse Party Senator!
Within short order, Vec was on his feet sprinting down the hall to the science officer’s room. “Taii Iemochi!” he said rapping at the door, “You’re the Discourse party guy, right?”
