This meeting of the Senate Subcommittee on the Interior is back in session. Senator Suj Kossi has requested the first slot following our recess. Senator Kossi?\n\nSENATOR SUJ KOSSI (U \u2013 Jalan \u2013 Elysium Sys): Thank you, Madam Chair.\n\nSENATOR YANN ISHER (C \u2013 Angeli \u2013 Croshaw Sys): The floor is yours.\n\nSENATOR SUJ KOSSI (U \u2013 Jalan \u2013 Elysium Sys): Senators, during the last congressional session, this committee passed #4688-IAUY, also known as the Kabal Historic Preservation Initiative, which was subsequently approved by a vote of the full Senate. The initiative was created to stop the looting of Tevarin artifacts from the Kabal System by establishing a special Advocacy task force to investigate alleged smuggling cases and allocating funds for the Navy to increase ship scanning patrols within the system.\n\nDespite the best of intentions, the Preservation initiative has failed to curb the problem. The Advocacy has yet to arrest anyone for participating in the systematic pilfering of the Tevarin people\u2019s cultural history. Although the Navy\u2019s expanded scanning protocol has nabbed other illegal goods, artifacts from Kabal III are somehow still finding their way into auction houses and antique stores around the Empire. Considering that Kabal is a military classified system, and completely off limits to the public, this situation is nothing short of an embarrassment.\n\nFor these reasons, I have drafted an amendment to the Kabal Historic Preservation Initiative that freezes all UEE activity within the Kabal System until the Advocacy completes a thorough review of all procedures and personnel. The amendment also installs a new inspection team to oversee the ruins themselves. This team will include prominent Tevarin historians and archaeologists, as selected by this committee, and will catalogue all artifacts found within the Kabal System to ensure their provenance can never be questioned. This, more than anything else, will keep irreplaceable items of archaeological importance from being freely, and illegally, sold throughout the Empire.\n\nSENATOR JUNGER RIES (C \u2013 Lorona \u2013 Banshee Sys): Senator Kossi, your intentions are admirable, but also excessive and unnecessary. As one of the authors of the original initiative, I\u2019m quite familiar with the situation in Kabal. Bringing all activity to a halt over a few misplaced items would be detrimental to the good work being done there.\n\nSENATOR SUJ KOSSI (U \u2013 Jalan \u2013 Elysium Sys): With all due respect, Senator, this issue\u2019s much more pervasive and it\u2019s the obligation of this committee to stop it.\n\nSENATOR JUNGER RIES (C \u2013 Lorona \u2013 Banshee Sys): I think you\u2019re overdramatizing the situation. The lost artifacts that triggered this entire situation were recovered by the Advocacy and promptly returned and as you noted, since then there have been no further incidents reported.\n\nSENATOR SUJ KOSSI (U \u2013 Jalan \u2013 Elysium Sys): If that\u2019s the extent of it, Senator, then how\u2019d I get my hands on these.\n\n< indistinct noise >\n\nSENATOR SUJ KOSSI (U \u2013 Jalan \u2013 Elysium Sys): Githian\u2019Cor of the Tevarin Preservation Society and I purchased all of these ancient Tevarin artifacts from sellers right here in New York City.\n\nSENATOR JUNGER RIES (C \u2013 Lorona \u2013 Banshee Sys): What makes you so sure they\u2019re from Kabal?\n\nSENATOR SUJ KOSSI (U \u2013 Jalan \u2013 Elysium Sys): Most of them contain the same marking. Based on where it appears, Githian\u2019Cor believes it\u2019s the Tevarin name for Kabal III. Also, have you noticed the one thing all these artifacts have in common?\n\nLook at the material they are carved from. Very similar to some of the artifacts that the Advocacy recovered and returned to the Kabal System. Githian\u2019Cor did a geochemical analysis on each one of these pieces, and this specific mineral composition is known to exist on Kabal III but not on Jalan or any other planet with known historical Tevarin ties.\n\nSENATOR JUNGER RIES (C \u2013 Lorona \u2013 Banshee Sys): I know and greatly respect Githian\u2019Cor, but how do we know that these pieces aren\u2019t from a private collection that someone decided to liquidate?\n\nSENATOR SUJ KOSSI (U \u2013 Jalan \u2013 Elysium Sys): And did so piecemeal across the Empire? What seems more plausible to you, Senator? That some secret, massive and utterly unique Tevarin collection is slowly being sold off at spots all across the Empire? Or that someone is looking to make easy money by smuggling these pieces out of the Kabal System?\n\nSENATOR JUNGER RIES (C \u2013 Lorona \u2013 Banshee Sys): Enough with the hypotheticals, Senator Kossi. How about we debate the merits of your initiative instead? Let\u2019s say that these items did in fact come from Kabal III. Then they should be handed over to the Advocacy for further investigation. That is their job and I for one feel that we should let them do it. It is hardly necessary that we authorize a complete shutdown of operations. The cost alone \u2014\n\nSENATOR SUJ KOSSI (U \u2013 Jalan \u2013 Elysium Sys): It is absolutely necessary. These are some of the most valuable remnants of my people\u2019s history and at this rate, more of them are destined to wind up in black markets than in the museums where they belong. Is it not worth a minor inconvenience to see a people\u2019s culture preserved? And even if you care little for the theft of history, then the fact that UEE property is being stolen while under our supervision should be enough to give any Citizen pause.\n\nMadame Chair, with your permission, I would like to call Githian\u2019Cor to testify and provide her expert opinion on exactly how the review process in the amendment would ensure this never happens again.\n\nSENATOR YANN ISHER (C \u2013 Angeli \u2013 Croshaw Sys): Very well. Let\u2019s hear from her.\n\n< indistinct noise >\n\nSENATOR YANN ISHER (C \u2013 Angeli \u2013 Croshaw Sys): I see that this is going to take a few moments to set up. Let\u2019s take a quick, five-minute recess until Githian\u2019Cor is prepared.\n\n< gavel bang >\n\n<< TRANSCRIPT ENDS >>","de_DE":"UEE-Kongress (397)\n2947-02-07 SATZ\n\nSession AutoScript\nGepr\u00fcft und zugelassen - Assistentin Archivarin Burg (#748392BDF)\n\n2947-02-07_13:06 - Sitzungsres\u00fcmee\nSENATOR YANN ISHER (C - Angeli - Croshaw Sys): Willkommen zur\u00fcck, Leute. Diese Sitzung des Senat-Unterausschusses f\u00fcr das Innere ist wieder in der Sitzung. Senator Suj Kossi hat den ersten Slot nach unserer Pause beantragt. Senator Kossi?\n\nSENATOR SUJ KOSSI (U - Jalan - Elysium Sys): Vielen Dank, Frau Vorsitzende.\n\nSENATOR YANN ISHER (C - Angeli - Croshaw Sys): Der Boden geh\u00f6rt dir.\n\nSENATOR SUJ KOSSI (U - Jalan - Elysium Sys): Senatoren, w\u00e4hrend der letzten Kongre\u00dfsitzung, verabschiedete dieser Ausschuss #4688-IAUY, auch bekannt als die Kabal Historic Preservation Initiative, die sp\u00e4ter durch eine Abstimmung des gesamten Senats genehmigt wurde. Die Initiative wurde ins Leben gerufen, um die Pl\u00fcnderung von Tevarin-Artefakten aus dem Kabalsystem zu stoppen, indem eine spezielle Advocacy-Task Force eingerichtet wurde, die mutma\u00dfliche Schmuggelf\u00e4lle untersucht und der Marine Mittel zur Verf\u00fcgung stellt, um die Anzahl der Schiffs-Scanpatrouillen innerhalb des Systems zu erh\u00f6hen.\n\nTrotz aller besten Absichten ist es der Naturschutzinitiative nicht gelungen, das Problem zu l\u00f6sen. Die Advocacy hat noch niemanden verhaftet, der sich an der systematischen Diebstahl der Kulturgeschichte des Volkes Tevarin beteiligt hat. Obwohl das erweiterte Scan-Protokoll der Marine andere illegale Waren erwischt hat, finden Artefakte aus Kabal III irgendwie immer noch ihren Weg in Auktionsh\u00e4user und Antiquit\u00e4tenl\u00e4den im ganzen Reich. In Anbetracht der Tatsache, dass Kabal ein milit\u00e4risches Geheimsystem ist und der \u00d6ffentlichkeit v\u00f6llig unbekannt ist, ist diese Situation nichts anderes als eine Peinlichkeit.\n\nAus diesen Gr\u00fcnden habe ich einen \u00c4nderungsantrag zur Kabal Historic Preservation Initiative eingereicht, der alle UEE-Aktivit\u00e4ten innerhalb des Kabal-Systems einfriert, bis die Advocacy eine gr\u00fcndliche \u00dcberpr\u00fcfung aller Verfahren und des Personals abgeschlossen hat. Mit dem \u00c4nderungsantrag wird auch ein neues Inspektionsteam eingesetzt, das die Ruinen selbst \u00fcberwacht. Dieses Team wird aus prominenten Tevarin-Historikern und Arch\u00e4ologen bestehen, die von diesem Komitee ausgew\u00e4hlt wurden, und alle im Kabalsystem gefundenen Artefakte katalogisieren, um sicherzustellen, dass ihre Herkunft nie in Frage gestellt werden kann. Dies wird vor allem verhindern, dass unersetzliche arch\u00e4ologisch wichtige Gegenst\u00e4nde im ganzen Reich frei und illegal verkauft werden.\n\nSENATOR JUNGER RIES (C - Lorona - Banshee Sys): Senator Kossi, Ihre Absichten sind bewundernswert, aber auch \u00fcbertrieben und unn\u00f6tig. Als einer der Autoren der urspr\u00fcnglichen Initiative bin ich mit der Situation in Kabal bestens vertraut. Alle Aktivit\u00e4ten wegen einiger falscher Gegenst\u00e4nde zum Stillstand zu bringen, w\u00fcrde der guten Arbeit, die dort geleistet wird, abtr\u00e4glich sein.\n\nSENATOR SUJ KOSSI (U - Jalan - Elysium Sys): Bei allem Respekt, Senator, dieses Thema ist viel tiefgreifender und es ist die Verpflichtung dieses Ausschusses, es zu stoppen.\n\nSENATOR JUNGER RIES (C - Lorona - Banshee Sys): Ich denke, du \u00fcberdramatisierst die Situation. Die verlorenen Artefakte, die diese ganze Situation ausgel\u00f6st haben, wurden von der Advokatur geborgen und umgehend zur\u00fcckgegeben, und wie Sie bemerkt haben, wurden seither keine weiteren Vorf\u00e4lle gemeldet.\n\nSENATOR SUJ KOSSI (U - Jalan - Elysium Sys): Wenn das das Ausma\u00df davon ist, Senator, wie habe ich dann die hier in die Finger bekommen?\n\nundeutliches Rauschen >\n\nSENATOR SUJ KOSSI (U - Jalan - Elysium Sys): Githian'Cor von der Tevarin Preservation Society und ich haben all diese alten Tevarin-Artefakte von Verk\u00e4ufern hier in New York City gekauft.\n\nSENATOR JUNGER RIES (C - Lorona - Banshee Sys): Was macht dich so sicher, dass sie aus Kabal sind?\n\nSENATOR SUJ KOSSI (U - Jalan - Elysium Sys): Die meisten von ihnen enthalten die gleiche Kennzeichnung. Basierend auf dem, wo es erscheint, glaubt Githian'Cor, dass es der Tevarin-Name f\u00fcr Kabal III ist. Hast du auch die eine Sache bemerkt, die all diese Artefakte gemeinsam haben?\n\nSchauen Sie sich das Material an, aus dem sie geschnitzt sind. Sehr \u00e4hnlich wie einige der Artefakte, die die Advocacy gefunden und an das Kabalsystem zur\u00fcckgegeben hat. Githian'Cor f\u00fchrte eine geochemische Analyse an jedem dieser St\u00fccke durch, und diese spezifische Mineralzusammensetzung existiert bekanntlich auf Kabal III, nicht aber auf Jalan oder einem anderen Planeten mit bekannten historischen Tevarin-Bindungen.\n\nSENATOR JUNGER RIES (C - Lorona - Banshee Sys): Ich wei\u00df und respektiere Githian'Cor sehr, aber woher wissen wir, dass diese St\u00fccke nicht aus einer privaten Sammlung stammen, die jemand liquidiert hat?\n\nSENATOR SUJ KOSSI (U - Jalan - Elysium Sys): Und hat sich das St\u00fcck f\u00fcr St\u00fcck durch das ganze Imperium geschoben? Was erscheint Ihnen plausibler, Senator? Dass eine geheime, massive und absolut einzigartige Tevarin-Kollektion langsam an Orten im ganzen Reich verkauft wird? Oder dass jemand versucht, leichtes Geld zu verdienen, indem er diese St\u00fccke aus dem Kabalsystem schmuggelt?\n\nSENATOR JUNGER RIES (C - Lorona - Banshee Sys): Genug mit den Hypothesen, Senator Kossi. Wie w\u00e4re es, wenn wir stattdessen \u00fcber die Vorz\u00fcge Ihrer Initiative diskutieren? Nehmen wir an, dass diese Gegenst\u00e4nde tats\u00e4chlich aus Kabal III stammen. Dann sollten sie zur weiteren Untersuchung an die Advocacy \u00fcbergeben werden. Das ist ihre Aufgabe, und ich bin der Meinung, dass wir sie das tun lassen sollten. Es ist kaum notwendig, dass wir einen kompletten Betriebsunterbruch genehmigen. Allein die Kosten -\n\nSENATOR SUJ KOSSI (U - Jalan - Elysium Sys): Es ist absolut notwendig. Dies sind einige der wertvollsten \u00dcberreste der Geschichte meines Volkes, und in diesem Tempo werden mehr von ihnen auf Schwarzm\u00e4rkten landen als in den Museen, in die sie geh\u00f6ren. Lohnt es sich nicht, eine kleine Unannehmlichkeit zu erleben, wenn die Kultur eines Volkes erhalten bleibt? Und selbst wenn Sie sich wenig f\u00fcr den Diebstahl der Geschichte interessieren, dann sollte die Tatsache, dass UEE-Eigentum gestohlen wird, w\u00e4hrend es unter unserer Aufsicht steht, ausreichen, um jedem B\u00fcrger eine Pause zu bereiten.\n\nFrau Vorsitzende, mit Ihrer Erlaubnis m\u00f6chte ich Githian'Cor anrufen, um auszusagen und ihr Expertengutachten dar\u00fcber abzugeben, wie das \u00dcberpr\u00fcfungsverfahren im \u00c4nderungsantrag sicherstellen w\u00fcrde, dass sich dies nie wieder wiederholt.\n\nSENATOR YANN ISHER (C - Angeli - Croshaw Sys): Sehr gut. Lasst uns von ihr h\u00f6ren.\n\nundeutliches Rauschen >\n\nSENATOR YANN ISHER (C - Angeli - Croshaw Sys): Ich sehe, dass dies einige Augenblicke dauern wird, bis es eingerichtet ist. Machen wir eine kurze, f\u00fcnfmin\u00fctige Pause, bis Githian'Cor vorbereitet ist.\n\nHammerknall >\n\n<<< TRANSKRIPT ENDET >> >>","zh_CN":"UEE Congress (397)\n2947-02-07 SET\n\nSession AutoScript\nProofed and Admitted \u2013 Assistant Archivist Burg (#748392BDF)\n\n2947-02-07_13:06 \u2013 Session Resumes\nSENATOR YANN ISHER (C \u2013 Angeli \u2013 Croshaw Sys): Welcome back, everyone.
