Senator Polo, you have the floor.\n\nSENATOR KYLE POLO (U-Angeli-Croshaw Sys): Thank you, Speaker. Admiral Colla, was our recess sufficient time?\n\nADMIRAL RENA COLLA: I\u2019m sorry, Senator. It seems that Lieutenant Torvashi is still out of comm range, so I don\u2019t believe he\u2019ll be able to present his budgetary analysis.\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): A reminder. His absence is a violation of a Senatorial subpoena.\n\nADMIRAL RENA COLLA: I understand, sir, and I apologize for the delay.\n\nSENATOR KYLE POLO (U-Angeli-Croshaw Sys): Yes, I\u2019m sure. We should move on then. I would like to call Colonel Arthur Linus to address specific line items in the Army budget and share potential cuts to their current spending allotment.\n\n< pause >\n\nSENATOR KYLE POLO (U-Angeli-Croshaw Sys): Colonel Linus?\n\n< pause >\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Colonel Linus.

I was assured that the colonel was in the building.\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): A word, Captain.\n\n< break >\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Senator Polo, is there another witness you would like to call while we sort this out?\n\nSENATOR KYLE POLO (U-Angeli-Croshaw Sys): With all due respect, Speaker, I\u2019m not sure there\u2019s much of a point. I\u2019m positive that every person on my list is mysteriously indisposed for one reason or another. The sad thing is that these sessions were meant to be an opportunity to invite the members of High Command to discuss possible solutions that would prevent this bill from needing to pass. To begin a dialogue that would help divert the Empire from this crash course of financial ruin. This bill was conceived to be a last resort, a means to enforce the same budgetary considerations on the military that the rest of the Empire has been shouldering all this time. I had hoped the introduction of it would incite High Command to action, but it seems they believe that this bill will disappear if simply ignored long enough. Ladies and gentlemen of the Senate, the past two weeks have been an illuminating education for me. I have learned exactly how mired in bureaucracy our government has become. We have had military personnel mysteriously vanish, corporate interests weaving their way into the proceedings thanks to their campaign donations to certain senators, lobbyists attempting to coerce independent account managers to skew their clients\u2019 numbers.

I just know what it\u2019s like to live on the border with a species that\u2019s desperate to kill you, so forgive me if I\u2019m not wildly enthusiastic at cutting down on the number of ships that are keeping them at bay.\n\nSENATOR KYLE POLO (U-Angeli-Croshaw Sys): You\u2019re right. I don\u2019t know about living under that cloud of fear \u2026 but you also misunderstand me, Senator. I\u2019m only withdrawing it from the Senate. I\u2019m leaving it to the people of the UEE to decide.

Senator Polo, Sie haben das Wort.\n\nSENATOR KYLE POLO (U-Angeli-Croshaw Sys): Danke, Sprecher. Admiral Colla, war unsere Pause ausreichend Zeit?\n\nADMIRAL RENA COLLA: Es tut mir leid, Senator. Es scheint, dass Lieutenant Torvashi immer noch au\u00dfer Reichweite ist, also glaube ich nicht, dass er seine Budgetanalyse pr\u00e4sentieren kann.\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Eine Erinnerung. Seine Abwesenheit ist ein Versto\u00df gegen eine Vorladung des Senators.\n\nADMIRAL RENA COLLA: Ich verstehe, Sir, und ich entschuldige mich f\u00fcr die Verz\u00f6gerung.\n\nSENATOR KYLE POLO (U-Angeli-Croshaw Sys): Ja, da bin ich mir sicher. Dann sollten wir weitermachen. Ich m\u00f6chte Oberst Arthur Linus anrufen, um bestimmte Punkte im Armeehaushalt anzusprechen und m\u00f6gliche Einschnitte bei der derzeitigen Ausgabenzuteilung zu teilen.\n\n< Pause > Pause >\n\nSENATOR KYLE POLO (U-Angeli-Croshaw Sys): Colonel Linus?\n\n< Pause > Pause >\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Colonel Linus. Bitte treten Sie vor und werden Sie geh\u00f6rt.\n\n< Pause > Pause >\n\nSENATOR KYLE POLO (U-Angeli-Croshaw Sys): Lautsprecher.....\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Wer ist der Vertreter von Legatus Cobol? Identifizieren Sie sich.\n\nCAPTAIN ELI HESCARA: Hier, Sir. Captain Eli Hescara, Sir.\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Captain Hescara, Ihr B\u00fcro wurde vom Imperator und Senat angewiesen, eine Aussage \u00fcber diese Anh\u00f6rungen zu machen.\n\nCAPTAIN ELI HESCARA: Ich entschuldige mich, Sir. Mir wurde versichert, dass der Colonel im Geb\u00e4ude war.\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Auf ein Wort, Captain.\n\n< Pause >\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Senator Polo, gibt es noch einen anderen Zeugen, den Sie anrufen m\u00f6chten, w\u00e4hrend wir das kl\u00e4ren?\n\nSENATOR KYLE POLO (U-Angeli-Croshaw Sys): Bei allem Respekt, Sprecher, ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob es einen gro\u00dfen Punkt gibt. Ich bin mir sicher, dass jede Person auf meiner Liste aus dem einen oder anderen Grund mysteri\u00f6s verhindert ist. Traurig ist, dass diese Sitzungen eine Gelegenheit sein sollten, die Mitglieder des Oberkommandos einzuladen, um m\u00f6gliche L\u00f6sungen zu diskutieren, die verhindern w\u00fcrden, dass dieses Gesetz verabschiedet werden muss. Um einen Dialog zu beginnen, der helfen w\u00fcrde, das Imperium von diesem Crashkurs des finanziellen Ruins abzuhalten. Dieses Gesetz wurde als letztes Mittel konzipiert, um dem Milit\u00e4r dieselben Haushalts\u00fcberlegungen aufzuzwingen, die der Rest des Imperiums die ganze Zeit \u00fcber getragen hat. Ich hatte gehofft, dass die Einf\u00fchrung dieses Gesetzes das Oberkommando zum Handeln anregen w\u00fcrde, aber es scheint, dass sie glauben, dass dieses Gesetz verschwinden wird, wenn es einfach lange genug ignoriert wird. Meine Damen und Herren vom Senat, die letzten zwei Wochen waren f\u00fcr mich eine erhellende Erfahrung. Ich habe genau gelernt, wie sehr sich unsere Regierung in der B\u00fcrokratie verstrickt hat. Wir haben Milit\u00e4rpersonal gehabt, das geheimnisvoll verschwindet, Unternehmensinteressen, die ihre Weise in die Verfahren dank ihre Kampagne Abgaben zu bestimmten Senatoren, Lobbyisten, die versuchen, unabh\u00e4ngige Kundenbetreuer zu erzwingen, um die Zahlen ihrer Klienten zu verdrehen. All dies f\u00fchrt mich zu einem Schluss....\n\n< Pause > Pause >\n\nSENATOR KYLE POLO (U-Angeli-Croshaw Sys): Hiermit ziehe ich das Gesetz AD8-4329 aus der Senatsverhandlung zur\u00fcck.\n\nundeutliches Geschw\u00e4tz >\n\nSENATOR TARYN GLASI (C-Vosca-Elysium Sys): Ich bin froh, dass Sie endlich die Gefahr erkannt haben, die dieses Gesetz mit uns verbunden h\u00e4tte, Senator.\n\nSENATOR KYLE POLO (U-Angeli-Croshaw Sys): Und es verbl\u00fcfft mich, dass du so blind daf\u00fcr bist, dass wir auf den wirtschaftlichen Zusammenbruch zusteuern.\n\nSENATOR TARYN GLASI (C-Vosca-Elysium Sys): Ich bin nicht blind, Senator Polo. Ich wei\u00df nur, wie es ist, an der Grenze mit einer Spezies zu leben, die verzweifelt darauf aus ist, dich zu t\u00f6ten, also vergib mir, wenn ich nicht wild begeistert bin, die Anzahl der Schiffe zu reduzieren, die sie in Schach halten.\n\nSENATOR KYLE POLO (U-Angeli-Croshaw Sys): Du hast Recht. Ich wei\u00df nicht, wie man unter dieser Wolke der Angst lebt.... aber du verstehst mich auch falsch, Senator. Ich ziehe es nur aus dem Senat zur\u00fcck. Ich \u00fcberlasse es den Leuten der UEE, zu entscheiden. Frau Pr\u00e4sidentin, ich beantrage hiermit, diese Anh\u00f6rung zu beenden, um AD8-4329 als Initiative f\u00fcr die B\u00fcrger des Reiches neu herauszugeben.\n\nSENATOR TARYN GLASI (C-Vosca-Elysium Sys): Aber.....\n\nSENATOR KYLE POLO (U-Angeli-Croshaw Sys): Ich begann vor einer Woche damit, notwendige Bef\u00fcrwortungen zu sammeln, als ich feststellte, dass diese Sitzungen durch Unternehmensinteressen untergraben wurden. Interessante Tatsache, Senator - die Rechnung befragte ziemlich gut in Elysium. Gegr\u00fcndet auf der heutigen Farce, bin ich sicher, dass der Sprecher zustimmen wird, dass die Perspektive des Senats zu diesem Thema zu einem Punkt kompromittiert worden ist, von dem ich glaube, dass wir uns in einem Zustand der legislativen Unt\u00e4tigkeit befinden.\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Dieses Thema ist von entscheidender Bedeutung f\u00fcr die Zukunft des Imperiums, und ich glaube nicht, dass es als solches behandelt wird. Der Vorsitzende nimmt hiermit Ihren Antrag auf legislative Unt\u00e4tigkeit zur Kenntnis.\n\nSENATOR KYLE POLO (U-Angeli-Croshaw Sys): Danke, Sprecher.\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Der Archivar muss die erforderliche Anzahl von Vermerken \u00fcberpr\u00fcfen, bevor wir fortfahren k\u00f6nnen.\n\nSENATOR KYLE POLO (U-Angeli-Croshaw Sys): Verstanden.\n\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Dann werde ich Ihren Vorschlag \u00fcberpr\u00fcfen und die Bildung eines Unterausschusses empfehlen, der eine \u00f6ffentliche Abstimmung organisiert. In Anbetracht dessen akzeptiere ich hiermit den Antrag von Senator Polo, diese Anh\u00f6rung zu beenden. Die Sitzung wird beendet.\n\nTRANSKRIPTUMBRUCH","zh_CN":"UEE CONGRESS (396)\n2945-08-25 SET\n\nSession AutoScript\nProofed and Admitted \u2013 Archivist Yates (#57573BDF)\n\n2945-08-25_18:13 \u2013 Transcript Begins\nSPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Everyone, please.
