If you will please take your seats, we\u2019ll call this session of the Senate Subcommittee on the Interior to order. Thank you. First on the agenda, Senator Ries is presenting a new initiative for consideration. Senator Ries, are you prepared?\n\nSENATOR JUNGER RIES (C \u2013 Lorona \u2013 Banshee Sys): Yes, Madame Chairwoman.\n\nSENATOR YANN ISHER (C \u2013 Angeli \u2013 Croshaw Sys): Then you may proceed.\n\nSENATOR JUNGER RIES (C \u2013 Lorona \u2013 Banshee Sys): Ladies and gentlemen, if you will please bring up Initiative #3586-GHSD, it is flagged on today\u2019s agenda if you would like to follow along. At its height, the name Gold Horizon was synonymous with Human expansion. Whenever a new system was discovered and designated for terraforming, one of the corporation\u2019s iconic stations would be sure to follow. It\u2019s truly a testament to the design and engineering of these structures that, even after all these years, we can still find Gold Horizon stations dotted throughout the Empire, but their majesty has long since lost its luster. In the decades that followed the slow dismantling of the company\u2019s assets, the stations began to fall into disrepair. As they did, a criminal element began to infect them. Now Gold Horizon stations are warzones where bands of armed thugs battle for supremacy on a daily, even hourly, basis. My Initiative outlines a plan to eliminate these stations and stop the build-up of a violent and undesirable element.\n\nSENATOR FESSEL QUINN (T \u2013 Green \u2013 Ellis Sys): Mister Senator, a question.\n\nSENATOR JUNGER RIES (C \u2013 Lorona \u2013 Banshee Sys): Of course.\n\nSENATOR FESSEL QUINN (T \u2013 Green \u2013 Ellis Sys): Thank you. Are you planning to evacuate the stations beforehand? Or are these \u2018undesirable elements\u2019 part of the demolition parameters?\n\nSENATOR JUNGER RIES (C \u2013 Lorona \u2013 Banshee Sys): If you consult Section Eight of the Initiative, we exhaustively outline scenarios including and not including the evacuation of the denizens.\n\nSENATOR FESSEL QUINN (T \u2013 Green \u2013 Ellis Sys): And what is your conclusion?\n\nSENATOR JUNGER RIES (C \u2013 Lorona \u2013 Banshee Sys): Well, Senator, I simply presented the possibilities. I entrust a well-founded conclusion will be reached after discussion within the Senate.\n\nSENATOR FESSEL QUINN (T \u2013 Green \u2013 Ellis Sys): But you must have a personal opinion on the matter.\n\nSENATOR JUNGER RIES (C \u2013 Lorona \u2013 Banshee Sys): I do, but I wouldn\u2019t presume to preemptively color the debate with my opinion. However, I have brought a speaker who could perhaps share her insight into the situation. This is Lela Rainhardt from the Department of the Interior.\n\nSENATOR YANN ISHER (C \u2013 Angeli \u2013 Croshaw Sys): Step forward, Ms Rainhardt.\n\nLELA RAINHARDT: Thank you, Madame Chairwoman.\n\nSENATOR JUNGER RIES (C \u2013 Lorona \u2013 Banshee Sys): Ms. Rainhardt was our lead field agent when assembling the Initiative. As a veteran law enforcement officer, she travelled throughout the systems and surveyed the conditions on the Gold Horizon stations first-hand.\n\nLELA RAINHARDT: As you will see in my assessment report located at the end of the Senator\u2019s Initiative, I think it would be prohibitively difficult to attempt to evacuate any civilians from the stations without a devastating cost of life from our law enforcement and military personnel. The people who inhabit these stations are proudly defiant anti-authoritarians who will not hesitate to resort to violence. During my undercover investigations, I personally witnessed three heavily armed contingents of thugs seize control of a facility through prolonged and bloody conflict.\n\nSENATOR FESSEL QUINN (T \u2013 Green \u2013 Ellis Sys): So, you think that we should strike from distance and be done with the whole matter?\n\nLELA RAINHARDT: Yes, Senator, I do.\n\nSENATOR FESSEL QUINN (T \u2013 Green \u2013 Ellis Sys): Thank you, Ms. Rainhardt. Senator Ries, one final question.\n\nSENATOR JUNGER RIES (C \u2013 Lorona \u2013 Banshee Sys): Of course.\n\nSENATOR FESSEL QUINN (T \u2013 Green \u2013 Ellis Sys): Looking over your list of Gold Horizon stations currently in operation, I\u2019m noticing the majority of them are outside of the UEE.\n\nSENATOR JUNGER RIES (C \u2013 Lorona \u2013 Banshee Sys): That is correct.\n\nSENATOR FESSEL QUINN (T \u2013 Green \u2013 Ellis Sys): Well, Senator, if they are in lawless systems, aren\u2019t we by definition, not allowed to enforce our laws there?\n\nSENATOR JUNGER RIES (C \u2013 Lorona \u2013 Banshee Sys): You will find that a shocking number of the criminals who set up in these stations use them as bases to launch attacks against the good people inside UEE space.\n\nSENATOR FESSEL QUINN (T \u2013 Green \u2013 Ellis Sys): That may be, but doesn\u2019t that present a slippery jurisdictional conundrum?\n\nSENATOR JUNGER RIES (C \u2013 Lorona \u2013 Banshee Sys): It does indeed and I trust that the Senate will examine it thoroughly. I\u2019m simply presenting the Initiative, Senator, not forcing the execution as a condition. Madame Chairwoman, I will concede the rest of my time but invite my colleagues to review the Initiative and speak to Ms. Rainhardt for her insight. Thank you.\n\nSENATOR YANN ISHER (C \u2013 Angeli \u2013 Croshaw Sys): Thank you, Senator. We will recess for ten minutes and open the floor for discussion.\n\nTRANSCRIPT BREAK","de_DE":"UEE KONGRESS (396)\nUNTERAUSSCHUSS F\u00dcR DEN INNENBEREICH\n2943-11-19 SATZ\n\nSession AutoScript\nGepr\u00fcft und zugelassen - Assistentin Archivarin Burg (#748392BDF)\n\n2943-11-19_09:04 - Sitzung beginnt\n\nSENATOR YANN ISHER (C - Angeli - Croshaw Sys): Guten Morgen zusammen. Wenn Sie bitte Ihre Pl\u00e4tze einnehmen, werden wir diese Sitzung des Senatsunterausschusses f\u00fcr das Innere einberufen, um zu bestellen. Ich danke dir. Senator Ries stellt zun\u00e4chst eine neue Initiative zur Diskussion. Senator Ries, sind Sie vorbereitet?\n\nSENATOR JUNGER RIES (C - Lorona - Banshee Sys): Ja, Madame Vorsitzende.\n\nSENATOR YANN ISHER (C - Angeli - Croshaw Sys): Dann k\u00f6nnen Sie fortfahren.\n\nSENATOR JUNGER RIES (C - Lorona - Banshee Sys): Meine Damen und Herren, wenn Sie bitte die Initiative #3586-GHSD ansprechen, ist sie auf der heutigen Tagesordnung vermerkt, wenn Sie sie weiterverfolgen m\u00f6chten. Auf seinem H\u00f6hepunkt war der Name Gold Horizon gleichbedeutend mit der menschlichen Expansion. Wann immer ein neues System entdeckt und f\u00fcr das Terraforming vorgesehen wurde, wird eine der legend\u00e4ren Stationen des Unternehmens folgen. Es ist wirklich ein Beweis f\u00fcr das Design und die Technik dieser Bauwerke, dass wir auch nach all den Jahren noch Gold Horizon Stationen im ganzen Reich finden k\u00f6nnen, aber ihre Majest\u00e4t hat l\u00e4ngst ihren Glanz verloren. In den Jahrzehnten nach dem langsamen Abbau der Verm\u00f6genswerte des Unternehmens begannen die Stationen in Verfall zu geraten. Als sie es taten, begann ein kriminelles Element, sie zu infizieren. Heute sind die Stationen von Gold Horizon Warzonen, in denen Bands von bewaffneten Schl\u00e4gern t\u00e4glich, ja sogar st\u00fcndlich um die Vorherrschaft k\u00e4mpfen. Meine Initiative skizziert einen Plan, um diese Stationen zu beseitigen und den Aufbau eines gewaltt\u00e4tigen und unerw\u00fcnschten Elements zu stoppen.\n\nSENATOR FESSEL QUINN (T - Gr\u00fcn - Ellis Sys): Herr Senator, eine Frage.\n\nSENATOR JUNGER RIES (C - Lorona - Banshee Sys): Nat\u00fcrlich.\n\nSENATOR FESSEL QUINN (T - Gr\u00fcn - Ellis Sys): Ich danke dir. Planen Sie, die Stationen vorher zu evakuieren? Oder sind diese \"unerw\u00fcnschten Elemente\" Teil der Abbruchparameter?\n\nSENATOR JUNGER RIES (C - Lorona - Banshee Sys): Wenn Sie Abschnitt Acht der Initiative konsultieren, skizzieren wir ausf\u00fchrlich Szenarien, die die Evakuierung der Bewohner einschlie\u00dfen und nicht einschlie\u00dfen.\n\nSENATOR FESSEL QUINN (T - Gr\u00fcn - Ellis Sys): Und was ist Ihre Schlussfolgerung?\n\nSENATOR JUNGER RIES (C - Lorona - Banshee Sys): Nun, Senator, ich habe nur die M\u00f6glichkeiten vorgestellt. Ich vertraue darauf, dass eine fundierte Schlussfolgerung nach der Diskussion im Senat gezogen wird.\n\nSENATOR FESSEL QUINN (T - Gr\u00fcn - Ellis Sys): Aber du musst eine pers\u00f6nliche Meinung zu diesem Thema haben.\n\nSENATOR JUNGER RIES (C - Lorona - Banshee Sys): Das tue ich, aber ich w\u00fcrde mich nicht anma\u00dfen, die Debatte pr\u00e4ventiv mit meiner Meinung zu f\u00e4rben. Ich habe jedoch eine Rednerin mitgebracht, die vielleicht ihre Einblicke in die Situation teilen k\u00f6nnte. Das ist Lela Rainhardt vom Innenministerium.\n\nSENATOR YANN ISHER (C - Angeli - Croshaw Sys): Treten Sie vor, Frau Rainhardt.\n\nLELA RAINHARDT: Danke, Madame Vorsitzende.\n\nSENATOR JUNGER RIES (C - Lorona - Banshee Sys): Frau Rainhardt war unsere leitende Au\u00dfendienstmitarbeiterin bei der Zusammenstellung der Initiative. Als erfahrene Strafverfolgungsbeamtin reiste sie durch die Systeme und \u00fcberpr\u00fcfte die Bedingungen an den Gold Horizon Stationen aus erster Hand.\n\nLELA RAINHARDT: Wie Sie in meinem Bewertungsbericht am Ende der Senator's Initiative sehen werden, denke ich, dass es \u00e4u\u00dferst schwierig w\u00e4re, zu versuchen, Zivilisten von den Stationen zu evakuieren, ohne verheerende Lebenshaltungskosten f\u00fcr unser Polizei- und Milit\u00e4rpersonal. Die Menschen, die diese Stationen bewohnen, sind stolz aufm\u00fcpfige Antiautorit\u00e4re, die nicht z\u00f6gern werden, Gewalt anzuwenden. W\u00e4hrend meiner verdeckten Ermittlungen habe ich pers\u00f6nlich erlebt, wie drei schwer bewaffnete Kontingente von Schl\u00e4gern die Kontrolle \u00fcber eine Einrichtung durch einen l\u00e4ngeren und blutigen Konflikt eroberten.\n\nSENATOR FESSEL QUINN (T - Gr\u00fcn - Ellis Sys): Sie sind also der Meinung, dass wir aus der Ferne zuschlagen und mit der ganzen Sache fertig werden sollten?\n\nLELA RAINHARDT: Ja, Senator, das tue ich.\n\nSENATOR FESSEL QUINN (T - Gr\u00fcn - Ellis Sys): Danke, Frau Rainhardt. Senator Ries, eine letzte Frage.\n\nSENATOR JUNGER RIES (C - Lorona - Banshee Sys): Nat\u00fcrlich.\n\nSENATOR FESSEL QUINN (T - Gr\u00fcn - Ellis Sys): Wenn ich mir Ihre Liste der Gold Horizon Stationen ansehe, die derzeit in Betrieb sind, merke ich, dass die meisten von ihnen au\u00dferhalb der UEE liegen.\n\nSENATOR JUNGER RIES (C - Lorona - Banshee Sys): Das ist richtig.\n\nSENATOR FESSEL QUINN (T - Gr\u00fcn - Ellis Sys): Gut, Senator, wenn sie in den gesetzlosen Systemen sind, sind wir nicht per Definition, nicht erlaubt, unsere Gesetze dort durchzusetzen?\n\nSENATOR JUNGER RIES (C - Lorona - Banshee Sys): Sie werden feststellen, dass eine schockierende Anzahl von Kriminellen, die sich in diesen Stationen niedergelassen haben, sie als Basis benutzen, um Angriffe gegen die guten Leute im UEE-Raum zu starten.\n\nSENATOR FESSEL QUINN (T - Gr\u00fcn - Ellis Sys): Das mag sein, aber stellt das nicht ein rutschiges juristisches R\u00e4tsel dar?\n\nSENATOR JUNGER RIES (C - Lorona - Banshee Sys): Das tut es in der Tat, und ich vertraue darauf, dass der Senat es gr\u00fcndlich pr\u00fcfen wird. Ich pr\u00e4sentiere einfach die Initiative, Senator, nicht erzwingend die Ausf\u00fchrung als Bedingung. Frau Vorsitzende, ich werde den Rest meiner Zeit einr\u00e4umen, aber meine Kollegen einladen, die Initiative zu \u00fcberpr\u00fcfen und mit Frau Rainhardt zu sprechen. Ich danke dir.\n\nSENATOR YANN ISHER (C - Angeli - Croshaw Sys): Danke, Senator. Wir werden zehn Minuten Pause machen und das Wort f\u00fcr die Diskussion \u00f6ffnen.\n\nTRANSKRIPTUMBRUCH","zh_CN":"UEE CONGRESS (396)\nSUBCOMMITTEE ON THE INTERIOR\n2943-11-19 SET\n\nSession AutoScript\nProofed and Admitted \u2013 Assistant Archivist Burg (#748392BDF)\n\n2943-11-19_09:04 \u2013 Session Begins\n\nSENATOR YANN ISHER (C \u2013 Angeli \u2013 Croshaw Sys): Good morning everyone.
