| Then I would like to throw my name in the running to accompany the new Senator of the Empress Teta on this delegation to Monor II.

| Senator volFyr, your offer, as well as that of Senator Ray's, is rather generous to replace the Imperial liaison on Monor II. Be aware that should you arrive, you will be working closely with a Major Matheson who is currently Druckenwell's agent who replaced Mr. Meem on Monor II upon Mr. Meem's departure.

| "I look forward to working closely with Major Matheson to improve matters between Monor II and the rest of the Empire. Everyone must do their part, after all. I would greatly appreciate the assistance and escort of Senator Ray, my office will be coordinating with his to confirm details of our travel and arrival at Monor II, and will shortly make that information available to the Druckenwell forces currently located at Monor II."

| Senator Ray, forgive my imprudence, but are you sure you're able to accompany this mission? The reason I ask is that something seems to have occupied much of your time in recent weeks and you are scarcely seen here in the Senate. My concern is that this is a time-sensitive mission and it would be unfortunate for its participants if it was delayed because of competing demands on your time. Your qualification for this mission speaks for itself, but with all due respect I feel some consideration should be given to your availability.

| When I spoke of my name, Senator Cambrist... I did not mention which name... did I? Yes I have been doing disappearing acts within the Senate, and yes I am tied down on other matters, but I will not and cannot allow a lovely lady such as Senator volFyr attack this head on alone. Instead, EXAR Ray will not be going, but instead... XANE Ray, my younger brother whom was elected as Governor of a local, yet prosperous town here on Dantooine, will travel with Senator volFyr in my stead.

| I wonder why it is the elder confrères of the Senate are all of a sudden proffering their sons and brothers to accompany this "lovely" young woman on this mission. Or rather, I wonder if I wonder. Regardless, I continue to be of the opinion that this is wanton nepotism; this is a mission for the people's representatives, not a pleasure cruise for friends and family.

| Well, My oldest son is interested in Politics. I figured this would be an easy way for him to get some hands on experience on how some things are settled on the imperial senate. But I'd suggest you'd go in my son's place, Senator Cambrist.

| "I fear that I must have misrepresented my request for a senior, male senator to accompany me. I am not a debutante waiting to be presented at the ball. I made the request in deference to the prevalent culture on Monor II; a male dominated, theocratic one. I do not presume that I will be readily listened to, and so to remedy that possibility I thought to take along someone whom the locals might be more ready to discourse with." She paused, a smile hinting at the sides of her mouth as she spoke again,
"I am of course flattered, but as Senator Cambrist has pointed out I intend this as an official state visit. I am going to speak with the leader of a world and it would only be right to meet him with peers. My office is not opposed to taking along interns and aids of the like, providing students with an opportunity to wet their hand at politics, but it must be done in the proper fashion. So in lieu of a Senator accompanying me, I will focus my efforts more so on engaging this Major Matheson in the negotiations."

| Gentlemen!
I am frankly disgusted with the conduct pertaining to this world. Whatever the rights and wrongs of this situation, we are humans and as humans I would expect better than to waste human blood over the lives and livelihoods of aliens. Who cares for the wellbeing of these bulbous craniumed freaks! Either way they do not deserve the attention of good noel humans.
I appeal to you, the Human Senators present, Ryuun, Terrawin, Fitzgerald and Governor Oswaldt.. Is it worth sending men to die for or against the cause of repugnant freaks such as those who populate Monor II. I am particularly astonished to see Governor Oswaldt taking the same position as the Sluissi lizard over in the box representing Sluis Van... I would urge you all to join me in my protest against the threatened deaths of good, noble men for this insignificant world and the slime which crawls on it's surface.
As such I urge all present to join me in a protest in orbit of the planet Aeeq, we will be forming a passive blockade of the Aeeqis until the situation resolves itself. They are a race of aquatic toads called Avareeq and I doubt any human or alien cares greatly for them. They will be an example to all aliens and will have their trade picketed until such a time as a satisfactory resolution to this dispute is reached.
I hasten to add any attack on our protest will be considered an act of war against Anaxes and will be met with the full force at our disposal. Any humans with a conscience ought to join our heartfelt objection to the humans who may die for these religious freaks on Monor II.

| Senator Ordan, while I applaud your... enthusiasm, I must temper it with the fact that Aeeq, filled with so-called aquatic toads may or may not be cared about by humans or aliens, is of no note to Druckenwell or indeed the Doldur Sector. Monor II is, however. I cannot speak for Senators Fitzgerald or Terrawin, but I, and I am sure Governor Oswaldt would second me in this, have no intention of seeing our men and women die in any battles for Monor II, despite the fact that there is indeed a local human population, which should appeal to you Senator.
If you wish to blockade Aeeq, do so, but we will remain at Monor II. I wish you luck in your endeavors, Senator.

| Even at this eleventh hour we offer Druckenwell a way out. Withdraw your forces now or you will risk military action from Alsakan. We also remind Druckenwell that Alsakan has a population one hundred times the size of Druckenwell, and a proportionately larger economy. Druckenwell has been demonstrated to support the CIS in the past, we hope this attack on it's neighbour is not an attempted repeat of that horrible mistake. Alsakan has remained stalwartly loyal to the Empire and is willing to chastise Druckenwell severely if it continues to disregard the law of planets.
This is a fight you cannot win and Alsakan may be willing to fully mobilise and throw it's economic weight behind what we believe is the right - the freedom of Monor II to decide who is in it's space. Druckenwell risks ruining itself over an illegal military action, but we are not uncaring and we do honestly not wish to come to blows... That said we will do so in this right cause.

| So Alsakan will go to war? Do you openly threaten to fire upon Imperial citizens? Druckenwell will not open fire first, I can promise that much. Despite your threats of size and population and economic such-and-such, we will not back down from our actions this far and I urge the Senate to take a stand, not against Druckenwell, but against Alsakan. Senators, it is true that Druckenwell did at one time support Confederacy influence; I cannot deny that nor can I deny that Alsakan was loyal to the Republic and then to the Empire. Of course, by this line of thinking, Druckenwell has also been loyal solely to the Empire for as long as the Empire has existed. A loyal and fully productive world, I might add.
Nonetheless, Senators, it is Verence Terrawin who threatens direct military action against the vessels and people of Druckenwell and Eriadu; who else will be harmed if such comes to pass? The people of Alsakan will be harmed; the people of Ralltiir if Senator Fitzgerald continues to back Senator Terrawin. Tell me, Senators, who do so many people need to face the possibility of death above Monor II because of a lack of diplomacy?
I reiterate that Druckenwell has not harmed any sentient being wishing to enter or exit Monor II's space. Druckenwell has not supplanted, threatened or otherwise harmed any sentient on Monor II, of its government or its surface. We are there in a monitoring capacity only. Even now, the Senator from Empress Teta is en route, or is soon to be, to see a peaceful resolution and instead, Senator Terrawin insists on war.
Senators, do any of you see the lack of sense in this?

| Senator Terrawin, by casting aspersions at Druckenwell's loyalty and attempting to make Alsakan look better in the eyes of the Senate, I feel you have cast aspersions at the loyalty of any and all planets who were utilized by or worked with the former Confederacy. Do you then, Senator, cast aspersions at Sluis Van? We support the Empire, Senator. We produce their ships, albeit being one of many worlds, but our reputation is strong in this Senate and in the Empire as a whole.
Your actions though; stating you wish a peaceful resolution and then veiled threats? Or perhaps not so veiled. Either way, in the interest of Senator volFyr's diplomatic attempt and to ensure that Ralltiir and Alsakan attempt no treachery upon Druckenwell and indeed; that Druckenwell does not attempt the same, Sluis Van is sending a portion of its fleet to act as observers and upholders of the truth.

| The failure of Senator Ryuun (and surprisingly Senator Domon) to appreciate what is motivating Ralltiir to act at Monor II has led both of them to carelessly misrepresent me. I invite both of them to review Ralltiir's most recent statement on this matter. Druckenwell has protested (quixotically) that it's "blockade" is not actually "blockading" anything. If that is the case, it should have no objection to the presence of Ralltiir's ships at Monor II which, as I explain in the statement, are there for the purpose of escorting civilian ships safely through Druckenwell's blockade, and thus defend an Imperial world from coercion. Ralltiir's purpose is a reasonable one, and not a violent one (unless Ralltiir's ships are fired upon). For Sluis Van to refer to this as "treachery" represents a perplexing escalation of rhetoric against a world that has shown it no animosity in the past and, with all due respect, it is uncalled for and not conducive to the peaceful resolution to this crisis that Ralltiir would prefer to see.

| Senator Fitzgerald, you'll notice that I include Ralltiir, Alsakan and Druckenwell in my former statement. I am not stating that any side will attempt to undermine the other. Sluis Van is simply there to make sure everything proceeds as peacefully as possible. With Alsakan taking a direct interest in Monor II, as Druckenwell has, it seemed prudent that Sluis Van, with no interest in the planet, act as a neutral party and as someone to keep it from coming to blows, if such might happen. As well, Senator volFyr may require additional security.
I have no problem with Ralltiir bringing vessels to or from Monor II.
Toben Domon
