[ 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.

Re: THE OBSERVATION DECK

[tradesecret]

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

Re: THE OBSERVATION DECK

[handpuppets]

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.

Re: THE OBSERVATION DECK

[tradesecret]

Understood. Thank you.

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

Re: THE OBSERVATION DECK

[handpuppets]

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...

Re: THE OBSERVATION DECK

[handpuppets]

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

Re: THE OBSERVATION DECK

[tradesecret]

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.

Re: THE OBSERVATION DECK

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.

Re: THE OBSERVATION DECK

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

Re: THE OBSERVATION DECK

[handpuppets]

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.

Re: THE OBSERVATION DECK

[tradesecret]

Thank you for the suggestion and for your time.
