YANNA COSO (Diplomatic Corps): Yanna Coso, Ambassador to the Xi\u2019An Empire for the UEE Diplomatic Corps.\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Thank you. Ms. Coso, if you will present your summary, then we will open the floor for questions.\n\nAMB. YANNA COSO (Diplomatic Corps): Thank you Speaker. Unfortunately, there are not many new developments to report. In the last twenty-four hours, we received word from Torsi Leelk, the Xi\u2019An diplomat, that the Emperor has rejected Imperator Costigan\u2019s latest proposal to release Mr. Gallen. We are coordinating with the Imperator\u2019s office and currently vetting other possibilities for negotiation paths as well as potential assets that we could put on the table for a possible trade. Imperator Costigan is stalwart in his belief that we need to get Mr. Gallen home by whatever diplomatic means necessary. Unfortunately, the Xi\u2019An have not relented on their demands, unless we provide them with absolute transparency regarding the operation that they are claiming Mr. Gallen was a part of, they will continue with the trial. The Imperator is being counseled by High-Secretary Sharrad and High-Advocate Upshaw, but in the meantime, I have been sent to solicit ideas from you.\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Thank you, Ms. Coso. We will now open the floor.\n\nSENATOR FESSEL QUINN (T-Green-Ellis Sys): Ms. Coso, you mentioned that Costigan is looking at assets to use in a trade?\n\nAMB. YANNA COSO (Diplomatic Corps): That is correct.\n\nSENATOR FESSEL QUINN (T-Green-Ellis Sys): Forgive me, but don\u2019t you think that if we treat this like a spy exchange, we are admitting that Gallen is spy?\n\nAMB. YANNA COSO (Diplomatic Corps): At this point, it\u2019s almost irrelevant whether Mr. Gallen is or isn\u2019t a spy. He\u2019s being treated like one, so we have to act accordingly.\n\nSENATOR NADIR CORR (U-Jalan-Elysium Sys): Has there been any talk of military action?\n\nAMB. YANNA COSO (Diplomatic Corps): No.\n\nSENATOR NADIR CORR (U-Jalan-Elysium Sys): Is there a reason why?\n\nAMB. YANNA COSO (Diplomatic Corps): Intelligence reports that the Xi\u2019An have not augmented their security status at all. The Imperator feels that any military mobilization on our part will only ignite a response from them. He believes that the situation will decay rapidly from there.\n\nSENATOR NADIR CORR (U-Jalan-Elysium Sys): So Costi\u2019s just ready to roll over for them \u2026\n\nLEGATUS NAVIUM LAVINIA WALLINGFORD (High Command): That wasn\u2019t strictly the Imperator\u2019s position. It was mine too.\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): The floor recognizes H.C.L.N Lavinia Wallingford.\n\nLEGATUS NAVIUM LAVINIA WALLINGFORD (High Command): Naval vessels are prepared to launch if the situation worsens, but as it stands, this is not a military scenario, so why escalate it to one? In my experience, if someone pulls a knife during an argument, things never get better from there.\n\nSENATOR NADIR CORR (U-Jalan-Elysium Sys): With all due respect to your wisdom about brawling, my point was that we\u2019re setting a dangerous precedent if we let alien civilizations arrest and detain our citizens. We will look weak \u2014\n\nLEGATUS NAVIUM LAVINIA WALLINGFORD (High Command): Scrambling for our guns will make us look weaker.\n\nAMB. YANNA COSO (Diplomatic Corps): She\u2019s right. In my experience with the Xi\u2019An, we will lose any negotiating power if we jump to the threat of violence without provocation.\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): If we could limit the number of questions for Ms. Coso, Director Carmody is due to present the latest on the Advocacy\u2019s investigation into Mr. Gallen next.\n\nSENATOR TURSON HASKEL (U-Asura-Ferron Sys): Has the Imperator considered leaving it alone?\n\nAMB. YANNA COSO (Diplomatic Corps): I\u2019m sorry?\n\nSENATOR TURSON HASKEL (U-Asura-Ferron Sys): Walking away from the table entirely.\n\nSENATOR NADIR CORR (U-Jalan-Elysium Sys): You mean abandon him.\n\nSENATOR TURSON HASKEL (U-Asura-Ferron Sys): Someone gets caught in the commission of an illegal activity in an alien civilization, they should reap the whirlwind.\n\nSENATOR NADIR CORR (U-Jalan-Elysium Sys): But they\u2019ll execute him.\n\nSENATOR TURSON HASKEL (U-Asura-Ferron Sys): So? It\u2019s not like he\u2019s one of ours, right?\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): I\u2019ve just been informed that Director Carmody is here. I\u2019d like to take a short recess to allow him to prepare his materials. We\u2019ll adjourn for ten minutes.

Wenn Sie sich setzen, wird der Sachbearbeiter einen Anruf einleiten.\n\n< Pause > Pause >\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Wir sind beschlussf\u00e4hig und k\u00f6nnen nun Gesch\u00e4fte t\u00e4tigen. Wenn jemand neue Gesetze haben sollte, erheben Sie sich bitte und lassen Sie sich h\u00f6ren.\n\n< Pause > Pause >\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Da es keine neue Gesetzgebung gibt, werden wir die gestrige Bewertung der Situation in Jenk Gallen fortsetzen. Nach dem Zeitplan haben wir Yanna Coso vom Diplomatischen Corps. Ist das richtig? Frau Coso, wenn Sie sich bitte setzen und Ihren Namen f\u00fcr das Protokoll angeben w\u00fcrden.\n\nAMB. YANNA COSO (Diplomatisches Korps): Yanna Coso, Botschafterin des Xi'An-Imperiums f\u00fcr das UEE Diplomatische Corps.\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Ich danke dir. Frau Coso, wenn Sie Ihre Zusammenfassung vorlegen, dann \u00f6ffnen wir das Wort f\u00fcr Fragen.\n\nAMB. YANNA COSO (Diplomatisches Korps): Vielen Dank, Herr Pr\u00e4sident. Leider gibt es nicht viele neue Entwicklungen zu berichten. In den letzten 24 Stunden erhielten wir von Torsi Leelk, dem Xi'An-Diplomaten, die Nachricht, dass der Kaiser den j\u00fcngsten Vorschlag von Imperator Costigan zur Freilassung von Herrn Gallen abgelehnt hat. Wir stimmen uns mit dem B\u00fcro des Imperators ab und pr\u00fcfen derzeit andere M\u00f6glichkeiten f\u00fcr Verhandlungswege sowie m\u00f6gliche Verm\u00f6genswerte, die wir f\u00fcr einen m\u00f6glichen Handel auf den Tisch legen k\u00f6nnten. Importeur Costigan ist fest davon \u00fcberzeugt, dass wir Herrn Gallen mit allen diplomatischen Mitteln nach Hause bringen m\u00fcssen. Leider haben die Xi'An ihre Forderungen nicht nachgegeben, es sei denn, wir geben ihnen absolute Transparenz \u00fcber den Betrieb, an dem sie behaupten, dass Herr Gallen beteiligt war, sie werden den Prozess fortsetzen. Der Imperator wird von High-Secretary Sharrad und High-Advocate Upshaw beraten, aber in der Zwischenzeit wurde ich geschickt, um Ideen von Ihnen zu erbitten.\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Danke, Frau Coso. Wir werden nun den Boden \u00f6ffnen.\n\nSENATOR FESSEL QUINN (T-Green-Ellis Sys): Frau Coso, Sie haben erw\u00e4hnt, dass Costigan nach Assets sucht, die in einem Handel verwendet werden sollen?\n\nAMB. YANNA COSO (Diplomatisches Korps): Das ist richtig.\n\nSENATOR FESSEL QUINN (T-Green-Ellis Sys): Verzeih mir, aber denkst du nicht, dass, wenn wir das wie einen Spionageaustausch behandeln, wir zugeben, dass Gallen ein Spion ist?\n\nAMB. YANNA COSO (Diplomatisches Korps): An dieser Stelle ist es fast irrelevant, ob Herr Gallen ein Spion ist oder nicht. Er wird wie einer behandelt, also m\u00fcssen wir entsprechend handeln.\n\nSENATOR NADIR CORR (U-Jalan-Elysium Sys): Wurde von einer Milit\u00e4raktion gesprochen?\n\nAMB. YANNA COSO (Diplomatisches Korps): Nein.\n\nSENATOR NADIR CORR (U-Jalan-Elysium Sys): Gibt es einen Grund daf\u00fcr?\n\nAMB. YANNA COSO (Diplomatisches Korps): Intelligenz berichtet, dass die Xi'An ihren Sicherheitsstatus \u00fcberhaupt nicht erh\u00f6ht haben. Der Imperator glaubt, dass jede milit\u00e4rische Mobilisierung unsererseits nur eine Reaktion von ihnen ausl\u00f6sen wird. Er glaubt, dass sich die Situation von dort aus schnell verfl\u00fcchtigen wird.\n\nSENATOR NADIR CORR (U-Jalan-Elysium Sys): Costi ist also nur bereit, sich f\u00fcr sie umzudrehen....\n\nLEGATUS NAVIUM LAVINIA WALLINGFORD (Oberkommando): Das war nicht unbedingt die Position des Imperators. Es war auch meiner.\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Der Boden erkennt H.C.L.N. Lavinia Wallingford.\n\nLEGATUS NAVIUM LAVINIA WALLINGFORD (Oberkommando): Marineschiffe sind bereit, zu starten, wenn sich die Situation verschlimmert, aber so, wie sie ist, ist dies kein milit\u00e4risches Szenario, also warum eskalieren sie zu einem? Meiner Erfahrung nach, wenn jemand w\u00e4hrend eines Streits ein Messer zieht, wird es von dort aus nie besser.\n\nSENATOR NADIR CORR (U-Jalan-Elysium Sys): Bei allem Respekt f\u00fcr Ihre Weisheit \u00fcber die Schl\u00e4gerei war mein Punkt, dass wir einen gef\u00e4hrlichen Pr\u00e4zedenzfall schaffen, wenn wir au\u00dferirdische Zivilisationen unsere B\u00fcrger verhaften und festnehmen lassen. Wir werden schwach aussehen -\n\nLEGATUS NAVIUM LAVINIA WALLINGFORD (Oberkommando): Wenn wir nach unseren Waffen suchen, werden wir schw\u00e4cher aussehen.\n\nAMB. YANNA COSO (Diplomatisches Korps): Sie hat Recht. Nach meinen Erfahrungen mit dem Xi'An werden wir jede Verhandlungsmacht verlieren, wenn wir ohne Provokation auf die Bedrohung durch Gewalt zusteuern.\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Wenn wir die Anzahl der Fragen f\u00fcr Frau Coso begrenzen k\u00f6nnten, wird Direktor Carmody als n\u00e4chstes das Neueste \u00fcber die Untersuchung des Advocacy gegen Herrn Gallen pr\u00e4sentieren.\n\nSENATOR TURSON HASKEL (U-Asura-Ferron Sys): Hat der Imperator erwogen, es in Ruhe zu lassen?\n\nAMB. YANNA COSO (Diplomatisches Korps): Es tut mir leid?\n\nSENATOR TURSON HASKEL (U-Asura-Ferron Sys): Ich gehe ganz vom Tisch weg.\n\nSENATOR NADIR CORR (U-Jalan-Elysium Sys): Sie meinen, ihn im Stich zu lassen.\n\nSENATOR TURSON HASKEL (U-Asura-Ferron Sys): Jemand wird in der Kommission einer illegalen Aktivit\u00e4t in einer fremden Zivilisation erwischt, er sollte den Wirbelwind ernten.\n\nSENATOR NADIR CORR (U-Jalan-Elysium Sys): Aber sie werden ihn hinrichten.\n\nSENATOR TURSON HASKEL (U-Asura-Ferron Sys): Und? Es ist ja nicht so, als w\u00e4re er einer von uns, oder?\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Mir wurde gerade mitgeteilt, dass Direktor Carmody hier ist. Ich m\u00f6chte eine kurze Pause einlegen, damit er seine Materialien vorbereiten kann. Wir vertagen die Sitzung um zehn Minuten.
