...it's true, and she knows it.

Still, though, what choice do we have? Parliament thinks we are fools, and will soon enough have us removed. Maybe we are, for allowing her to rise to power. She even served on this council for a time.

Did she leave on her own accord?

[ he looks faintly exasperated. ]

She put her letter of resignation as a postscript to the Delcaration of Independence that she read at this very Salon.

[ Okay, no more tangential questions about the past ]

How would you the counsel prefer to resolve this situation. I understand that Naarabot is stubborn, but is there something I could try to do?

Well—if you felt you were able to sway her to cease this, such that war was unnecessary... any way you could, we would offer you our support in the form of influence. She's made herself a bit scarce, though.

I have every intention of speaking to her on the matter, so if you're offering influence, I will gladly accept it.

We appreciate it.

[ They offer you 3x "the relentless march of empire" influence. ]

This should go a longer way than most other influence, so do use it wisely.

Understood. Thank you.

Is there any advice that you'd like to offer? How far am I allowed to go?

We've already tried to offer anything short of full, real independence... but if there's any other sweeteners you can think of. She just can't be allowed to remain in power. She's a symbol, and those have power.

We might have to take extreme measures.

It would be for the good of the Empire, after all...

Yes. Yes, it would. Our thanks for your understanding.

But of course.

Now, at this time, I'd make a toast to Her Majesty, but since I am unfortunately without a libation, I'll be picking one up from the bar, in case anyone would like to join me.

If only we had time, but there's much business to take care of, and others may wish to bring things before us. Perhaps later, though.

The Lecture Hall was also recommended to me, but I will gladly take any additional suggestions.

Well, we're not privy to whatever goes on in the ladies' retiring room, but whatever it is, you may find it interesting, as a woman.

Thank you for the suggestion and for your time.

[ curtseying low and heading for the bar kthnx byeeeeee ]
