Since the War ended, we are under attack from a new kind of threat, one that is not fought on battlefields or between carriers.This war is being fought in secret, with threats and sabotage.\n\nThat was the message eight months ago. Six terrorists attacks over the previous year had shaken everybody from the notion that the Tevarin defeat was going to lead to peace. People wanted answers but more importantly they wanted to feel like the Tribunal was getting control. They got neither.\n\nThe Advocacy never caught the perpetrators. They only knew that the bombs had been made in part from Xi\u2019An technology. Meanwhile, the Tribunal debated a course of action to the point of inaction.\n\nSo the systems were falling apart. The Tribunal had failed. Humanity needed a leader. The solution? Elect a new position, Prime Citizen, to be a single voice, the deciding vote in an overwrought government.\n\nCitizens from all of the systems began to run for this new office. Every week it seemed a new candidate would appear making the same promises. This went on for months. As the election drew near, High-General Messer put his name forward as a candidate. He spoke last night at a commemoration ceremony for the victims of the fourth Terrorist attack.\n\nPeople. Citizens. I come to you today as a believer. I believe that we have a great and vibrant history. I believe that there are so many more wonderful things to discover. I believe in humanity.\n\nBut there are enemies that want to cut us down. That resent our ascension. That want us to fall back from the stars. The vicious attacks on our systems are just the beginning. As a soldier who has stared into the horror of war, I don\u2019t say this lightly. We have to protect ourselves. Protect our families. Protect our future. Protect our ability to claim what is rightfully ours.\n\nI don\u2019t want another war. Too many sons and daughters, husbands and wives, have already been lost in the deep vacuum and barren planets. But I will say this, I would ring every system and every jump-point with shields and wire a thousand kilometers thick if it meant we wouldn\u2019t have to lose any more.\n\nI have always been a soldier of humanity. Give me this chance to keep you safe, to keep the threats and violence of species not as civilized as us far away, so we can take our rightful place in the galaxy.\n\nBelieve in me like I believe in you. Believe in Humanity!\n\nThe crowd loved it. Listening to this speech now, High-General Messer speaks with a conviction that makes him easy to believe.\n\nIn short, I think he\u2019s right. There is an inherent problem with three equal divisions of power. While it is preferable to have that discourse in times of peace, we are living in a dangerous time. Decisions sometimes must be made quickly and effectively. I know this sounds like the first step towards absolutism but the system is still in place. The method that they are suggesting still maintains the High-Secretary, General, and Advocate, and even the Senate but they all advise the Prime Citizen, who then makes the ultimate decision.\n\nLike High-General Messer said after introducing the Prime Citizen Motion, \u201cevery ship needs a captain.\u201d\n\nApply Edits and Send","de_DE":"Alyssa Jamali kam zu sp\u00e4t. Sie war gestern Abend eingeschlafen, als sie an ihren Chem-Hausaufgaben arbeitete, jetzt musste sie ihre Poly-Sci-Aufgabe auf dem Weg zum Unterricht diktieren. Generaloberst Messer hatte an einer Gedenkst\u00e4tte f\u00fcr die Opfer des Bombenanschlags auf Cestulus gesprochen, und Herr Kent wollte eine einseitige Zusammenfassung der Rede.\nDiktatstart:\nAlyssa Jamali\nPoli-Sci\/Kent\/45Bcf\nZuordnung: Messer Rede\n\nDie Systeme fallen auseinander. Seit dem Ende des Krieges werden wir von einer neuen Art von Bedrohung angegriffen, die nicht auf Schlachtfeldern oder zwischen Tr\u00e4gern gek\u00e4mpft wird, sondern heimlich, mit Drohungen und Sabotage.\n\nDas war die Botschaft vor acht Monaten. Sechs Terroranschl\u00e4ge im vergangenen Jahr hatten alle von der Vorstellung ersch\u00fcttert, dass die Niederlage von Tevarin zum Frieden f\u00fchren w\u00fcrde. Die Leute wollten Antworten, aber vor allem wollten sie das Gef\u00fchl haben, dass das Tribunal die Kontrolle bekommt. Sie haben nichts von beidem.\n\nDie Advocacy hat die T\u00e4ter nie erwischt. Sie wussten nur, dass die Bomben zum Teil aus der Xi'An-Technologie stammen. Unterdessen er\u00f6rterte das Tribunal eine Vorgehensweise bis zum Punkt der Unt\u00e4tigkeit.\n\nAlso fielen die Systeme auseinander. Das Tribunal war gescheitert. Die Menschheit brauchte einen F\u00fchrer. Die L\u00f6sung? W\u00e4hlen Sie eine neue Position, Prime Citizen, um eine einzige Stimme zu haben, das entscheidende Votum in einer \u00fcberlasteten Regierung.\n\nB\u00fcrger aus allen Systemen begannen mit dem Betrieb dieses neuen B\u00fcros. Jede Woche schien es, als w\u00fcrde ein neuer Kandidat erscheinen, der die gleichen Versprechungen machte. Das ging monatelang so weiter. Als sich die Wahl n\u00e4herte, stellte Generaloberst Messer seinen Namen als Kandidat vor. Er sprach gestern Abend bei einer Gedenkveranstaltung f\u00fcr die Opfer des vierten Terroranschlags.\n\nMenschen. B\u00fcrger. Ich komme heute als Gl\u00e4ubiger zu dir. Ich glaube, dass wir eine gro\u00dfe und lebendige Geschichte haben. Ich glaube, dass es noch viel mehr wunderbare Dinge zu entdecken gibt. Ich glaube an die Menschheit.\n\nAber es gibt Feinde, die uns niedermachen wollen. Das \u00e4rgert uns \u00fcber unseren Aufstieg. Die wollen, dass wir uns von den Sternen zur\u00fcckziehen. Die b\u00f6sartigen Angriffe auf unsere Systeme sind nur der Anfang. Als Soldat, der in den Schrecken des Krieges gestarrt hat, sage ich das nicht auf die leichte Schulter. Wir m\u00fcssen uns selbst sch\u00fctzen. Sch\u00fctzt unsere Familien. Sch\u00fctzen Sie unsere Zukunft. Sch\u00fctzen Sie unsere F\u00e4higkeit, das zu beanspruchen, was uns zusteht.\n\nIch will keinen weiteren Krieg mehr. Zu viele S\u00f6hne und T\u00f6chter, Ehem\u00e4nner und Ehefrauen, sind bereits im tiefen Vakuum und auf kargen Planeten verloren gegangen. Aber ich sage das, ich w\u00fcrde jedes System und jeden Sprungbrett mit Schilden klingeln und tausend Kilometer dick verdrahten, wenn wir dadurch nicht mehr verlieren m\u00fcssten.\n\nIch war schon immer ein Soldat der Menschheit. Gib mir diese Chance, dich zu besch\u00fctzen, die Bedrohungen und die Gewalt von Arten zu verhindern, die nicht so zivilisiert sind wie wir weit weg, damit wir unseren rechtm\u00e4\u00dfigen Platz in der Galaxie einnehmen k\u00f6nnen.\n\nGlaub an mich, wie ich an dich glaube. Glaube an die Menschheit!\n\nDie Menge liebte es. Wenn man dieser Rede jetzt zuh\u00f6rt, spricht Generaloberst Messer mit einer \u00dcberzeugung, die ihn leicht glauben l\u00e4sst.\n\nKurz gesagt, ich denke, er hat Recht. Es gibt ein inh\u00e4rentes Problem mit drei gleichen Machtverteilungen. W\u00e4hrend es besser ist, diesen Diskurs in Friedenszeiten zu f\u00fchren, leben wir in einer gef\u00e4hrlichen Zeit. Manchmal m\u00fcssen Entscheidungen schnell und effektiv getroffen werden. Ich wei\u00df, das klingt nach dem ersten Schritt in Richtung Absolutismus, aber das System ist immer noch vorhanden. Die Methode, die sie vorschlagen, h\u00e4lt immer noch den Hohen Sekret\u00e4r, General und Advokaten und sogar den Senat aufrecht, aber sie alle beraten den B\u00fcrgermeister, der dann die endg\u00fcltige Entscheidung trifft.\n\nWie Generalmajor Messer nach der Einf\u00fchrung der Prime Citizen Motion sagte, \"jedes Schiff braucht einen Kapit\u00e4n\".\n\nBearbeitungen \u00fcbernehmen und senden","zh_CN":"Alyssa Jamali was running late.
