Die k\u00fcrzlich gew\u00e4hlte Imperatorin l\u00e4chelte warm und bedankte sich bei der Menge f\u00fcr ihre Geduld: \"Mein Tag war ein bisschen hektischer als erwartet.\" Es schien aber niemanden zu st\u00f6ren. Dies war der erste Besuch von Imperator Addison an dem Ort, an dem sie aufgewachsen war, seit ihrer Amtseinf\u00fchrung am 1. Januar.\n\nLaut Quellen innerhalb ihrer Administration war die Veranstaltung in Oya eine willkommene Erholung f\u00fcr Imperator Addison nach den chaotischen ersten Wochen ihrer Amtszeit. Mit der Absicht, gleich voll durchzustarten, k\u00e4mpfte ihre Administration stattdessen damit, Fu\u00df zu fassen. Von dem peinlichen Vorfall mit der G\u00e4steliste bei ihrer Einweihungsgala bis hin zum schwachen Applaus, den die Senatoren ihr nach ihrer ersten Rede vor der Versammlung spendeten, ist die unabh\u00e4ngige Kandidatin, die w\u00e4hrend des Wahlkampfs irgendwie nie gestolpert ist, immer noch auf der Suche nach ihrem ersten politischen Sieg als Imperatorin.\n\nHeute, vor bewundernden Anh\u00e4ngern in Oya, begann Imperator Addison mit einer Rede, die der \u00e4hnelte, die sie unz\u00e4hlige Male auf der Wahlkampftour gehalten hat, aber mit einigen deutlichen Unterschieden. Viele ihrer ehrgeizigen Wahlkampfversprechen waren nun in eine diplomatischere Sprache gekleidet. Sie wiederholte ihren Wunsch, die Mittel f\u00fcr Bildung und wissenschaftliche Forschung drastisch zu erh\u00f6hen, r\u00e4umte aber ein, dass die Genehmigung des Budgets durch den Senat notwendig sein w\u00fcrde - ein Detail, das sie auf dem Wahlkampftrail nie erw\u00e4hnt hatte, das aber von den Senatsf\u00fchrern nach ihrer Rede an die \u00d6ffentlichkeit mit Stolz in Erinnerung gerufen wurde. Senator Walter Fisk, ein prominenter Zentralist im Haushaltsausschuss, ging sogar so weit, die Kosten des in ihrer Rede vor dem Senat dargelegten Vorschlags als \"astronomisch, wirtschaftlich ignorant und eine ernste Bedrohung f\u00fcr die fiskalische Zukunft des Imperiums\" zu charakterisieren.\n\nIn Oya verbrachte Imperator Addison den gr\u00f6\u00dften Teil ihrer Rede damit, die Fortschritte bei ihrem Versprechen aus dem Ersten Akt zu diskutieren, die KI-Beschr\u00e4nkungen zu lockern. Das Blitzableiter-Thema hat ihrer Kampagne massive Publicity und Unterst\u00fctzung eingebracht, zusammen mit einigem Hohn. Sie diskutierte detailliert, wie ihr Plan, das totale Verbot der KI-Forschung aufzuheben, begonnen hatte. An ihrem ersten Tag im Amt unterzeichnete Imperator Addison eine imperiale Aktion, die den Senat anweist, das aktuelle Gesetz, das jegliche KI-Forschung verbietet, \"zu \u00fcberdenken, zu reformieren und zu revidieren\" und ebnete den Weg f\u00fcr die Schaffung eines KI-Ethik-Gremiums beim Imperialen Wissenschaftsrat, das f\u00fcr die St\u00e4rkung und Sicherung der \"wissenschaftlichen und wirtschaftlichen Zukunft des Imperiums\" entscheidend sein w\u00fcrde.\n\nDie imperiale Aktion berief sich auf ein wenig genutztes Privileg, das es dem Imperator erlaubt, den Kongress zu zwingen, ein Gesetz neu zu \u00fcberdenken, wenn es seit f\u00fcnfundzwanzig Jahren oder l\u00e4nger nicht mehr auf der legislativen Tagesordnung erschienen ist. Sie erkl\u00e4rte, dass die Wiederer\u00f6ffnung der Debatte \u00fcber das Gesetz es dann erm\u00f6glichen w\u00fcrde, einen \u00c4nderungsantrag einzubringen, der Ausnahmen f\u00fcr sehr spezifische Situationen herausschneidet. Imperator Addison glaubt, dass dieser legislative Weg schneller w\u00e4re, da nur eine \u00c4nderung und nicht ein ganzes neues Gesetz entworfen werden m\u00fcsste. Beobachter des Senats haben auch angemerkt, dass ein neues Gesetz vom Wissenschafts- und Technologieausschuss gepr\u00fcft und verabschiedet werden m\u00fcsste, eine H\u00fcrde, von der nur wenige glauben, dass sie zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt genommen werden k\u00f6nnte. Die Einf\u00fchrung einer \u00c4nderung des aktuellen Gesetzes umgeht geschickt den Kampf im Ausschuss und w\u00fcrde die \u00c4nderung vor dem gesamten Senat zur Abstimmung stellen. W\u00e4hrend die kaiserliche Aktion ihre Unterst\u00fctzer begeisterte, scheint Imperator Addison nun darauf bedacht zu sein, deren Erwartungen zu m\u00e4\u00dfigen. Sie machte in ihrer Rede deutlich, dass es ein langer Prozess sein wird, der wahrscheinlich Jahre dauern w\u00fcrde, bevor irgendwelche Genehmigungen erteilt werden.\n\nImperator Addisons sorgf\u00e4ltig kalibrierte Rede vor ihrer Alma Mater schien anzuerkennen, dass Elemente ihrer ehrgeizigen politischen Agenda noch \u00fcberarbeitet werden. Hinter den Kulissen trafen sich Berichten zufolge mehrere ihrer Top-Berater, um ihre Wahlkampfversprechen in verschiedene Kategorien von \"erreichbar\" bis \"undurchf\u00fchrbar\" zu priorisieren. W\u00e4hrend niemand bereit war, \u00fcber das Schicksal spezifischer risikoreicher Bem\u00fchungen zu Protokoll zu gehen, haben mehrere Regierungsbeamte begonnen, einen Ratschlag zu zitieren, der Imperator Erin Toi von ihrem Stabschef Clement Redfield gegeben wurde: \"F\u00fchren Sie eine Kampagne f\u00fcr den Traum, aber regieren Sie die Realit\u00e4t.\"\n\nMit der Aufgabe betraut, den Schaden und die Schande zu reparieren, die der Regierung durch die jahrhundertelange Herrschaft des Messer-Regimes zugef\u00fcgt wurden, verstand Redfield den Balanceakt zwischen politischen Tr\u00e4umen und politischen Realit\u00e4ten, und er riet Imperator Toi wiederholt, sich auf das zu konzentrieren, was erreicht werden kann, anstatt auf das, was sie zu erreichen versprochen hat. Die Berufung auf Redfields Rat unter den Mitarbeitern von Imperator Addison scheint eine \u00e4hnliche Verschiebung durch die aktuelle Regierung zu signalisieren.\n\nSeit ihrem \u00fcberraschenden Wahlsieg haben sich politische Beobachter gefragt, wie Imperator Addison, die nie zuvor ein politisches Amt innehatte, den \u00dcbergang von einer aufstrebenden, unterlegenen Kandidatin zur Regierung der bedeutendsten politischen Institution in der Geschichte der Menschheit bew\u00e4ltigen w\u00fcrde. Kritiker bef\u00fcrchteten, dass sie auf die Anforderungen des Amtes nicht vorbereitet sein w\u00fcrde - ein Argument, das durch Berichte untermauert wurde, dass ihr Team Schwierigkeiten hatte, mehrere Schl\u00fcsselpositionen innerhalb der Verwaltung zu besetzen. Sie waren auch gezwungen, die Nominierung von Maryann Althoff als Unterstaatssekret\u00e4rin des Verkehrs- und Schifffahrtsministeriums zur\u00fcckzuziehen, nachdem ihr \u00dcberpr\u00fcfungsprozess mehrere kontroverse und diffamierende \u00f6ffentliche \u00c4u\u00dferungen gegen hochrangige Mitglieder des UEE-Hochkommandos nicht aufgedeckt hatte.\n\nIn der Zwischenzeit haben die Anh\u00e4nger, die der Rede von Imperator Addison in Oya beiwohnten, entweder ihre neue, kalibrierte Sprache \u00fcbersehen oder sich nicht um die Unterscheidung gek\u00fcmmert. Die meisten dr\u00fcckten immer noch unb\u00e4ndige Begeisterung f\u00fcr die neue Imperatorin und ihre politischen Ziele aus. Silvio Wardlaw, Verwaltungsangestellter eines lokalen Schifffahrtsunternehmens, meinte: \"Ich hoffe, sie kann erreichen, was sie versprochen hat, aber ich bin mir sicher, dass es einige Schwierigkeiten geben wird. Selbst wenn sie nur die H\u00e4lfte davon schafft, wird dieses Imperium in die richtige Richtung gehen und ich werde gl\u00fccklich sein.\" Viele der Anwesenden hoben ihre bisherigen Erfolge hervor, wie z.B. die k\u00fcrzlich angek\u00fcndigte XenoScience-Konferenz, bei der f\u00fchrende Wissenschaftler aus allen Spezies noch in diesem Jahr in New York zusammenkommen werden, oder die Ernennung von Ki Jotal, dem ersten Tevarin-Kabinettsmitglied \u00fcberhaupt.\n\nOb die Anh\u00e4nger von Imperator Addison ihr treu bleiben werden, wenn sie mit politischen Realit\u00e4ten und Hindernissen, wie einem unkooperativen Senat, konfrontiert werden, bleibt abzuwarten. In Anbetracht der Tatsache, dass sie als Unabh\u00e4ngige kandidiert hat, wird es f\u00fcr Imperator Addison lebenswichtig sein, ihre W\u00e4hler engagiert und auf ihrer Seite zu halten. Da es keine eingebaute politische Partei gibt, die ihre Ziele umsetzt, wird sie die Hilfe ihrer W\u00e4hler brauchen, um die Senatoren unter Druck zu setzen, ihre Politik zu unterst\u00fctzen. Insider der Administration behaupten, das Ziel sei es, ihre Popularit\u00e4t zu nutzen, um ihre Basis zu mobilisieren, damit diese ihre Senatoren davon \u00fcberzeugt, einer neuen Koalition beizutreten, die daran interessiert ist, das Imperium in Richtung ihrer Ziele zu lenken. Ohne diese anhaltende Unterst\u00fctzung durch die W\u00e4hler und die Unterst\u00fctzung durch gleichgesinnte Senatoren wird es Imperator Addison schwer fallen, wichtige Gesetze durchzusetzen.\n\nNur die Zeit wird zeigen, ob die F\u00e4higkeiten, die Imperator Addison zu einer wirklich einzigartigen Kandidatin gemacht haben, dazu f\u00fchren werden, dass sie ein erfolgreiches Staatsoberhaupt wird.","zh_CN":"By Aaron Frost\nBRAHJA, OYA III, OYA\n\n\n\nThe packed crowd erupted in applause when Imperator Laylani Addison took to the auditorium stage in her old secondary school.
