09:35am SET – Session Begins


SPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Good morning, everyone. If you will please settle, we have a lot to cover today. Session 53 of the 396th UEE Congress is hereby called to order. If you will take your seats, the clerk will initiate a call.

< pause >

SPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): We have a quorum and may now conduct business. If anyone should have new legislation, please rise and be heard.

< pause >

SPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Since there is no new legislation, we will continue with yesterday’s assessment of the Jenk Gallen situation. According to the schedule, we have Yanna Coso from the Diplomatic Corps. Is that correct? Ms. Coso, if you will please take your seat and state your name for the record.

AMB. YANNA COSO (Diplomatic Corps): Yanna Coso, Ambassador to the Xi’An Empire for the UEE Diplomatic Corps.

SPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Thank you. Ms. Coso, if you will present your summary, then we will open the floor for questions.

AMB. 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’An diplomat, that the Emperor has rejected Imperator Costigan’s latest proposal to release Mr. Gallen. We are coordinating with the Imperator’s 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’An 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.

SPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Thank you, Ms. Coso. We will now open the floor.

SENATOR FESSEL QUINN (T-Green-Ellis Sys): Ms. Coso, you mentioned that Costigan is looking at assets to use in a trade?

AMB. YANNA COSO (Diplomatic Corps): That is correct.

SENATOR FESSEL QUINN (T-Green-Ellis Sys): Forgive me, but don’t you think that if we treat this like a spy exchange, we are admitting that Gallen is spy?

AMB. YANNA COSO (Diplomatic Corps): At this point, it’s almost irrelevant whether Mr. Gallen is or isn’t a spy. He’s being treated like one, so we have to act accordingly.

SENATOR NADIR CORR (U-Jalan-Elysium Sys): Has there been any talk of military action?

AMB. YANNA COSO (Diplomatic Corps): No.

SENATOR NADIR CORR (U-Jalan-Elysium Sys): Is there a reason why?

AMB. YANNA COSO (Diplomatic Corps): Intelligence reports that the Xi’An 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.

SENATOR NADIR CORR (U-Jalan-Elysium Sys): So Costi’s just ready to roll over for them …

LEGATUS NAVIUM LAVINIA WALLINGFORD (High Command): That wasn’t strictly the Imperator’s position. It was mine too.

SPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): The floor recognizes H.C.L.N Lavinia Wallingford.

LEGATUS 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.

SENATOR NADIR CORR (U-Jalan-Elysium Sys): With all due respect to your wisdom about brawling, my point was that we’re setting a dangerous precedent if we let alien civilizations arrest and detain our citizens. We will look weak —

LEGATUS NAVIUM LAVINIA WALLINGFORD (High Command): Scrambling for our guns will make us look weaker.

AMB. YANNA COSO (Diplomatic Corps): She’s right. In my experience with the Xi’An, we will lose any negotiating power if we jump to the threat of violence without provocation.

SPEAKER 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’s investigation into Mr. Gallen next.

SENATOR TURSON HASKEL (U-Asura-Ferron Sys): Has the Imperator considered leaving it alone?

AMB. YANNA COSO (Diplomatic Corps): I’m sorry?

SENATOR TURSON HASKEL (U-Asura-Ferron Sys): Walking away from the table entirely.

SENATOR NADIR CORR (U-Jalan-Elysium Sys): You mean abandon him.

SENATOR 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.

SENATOR NADIR CORR (U-Jalan-Elysium Sys): But they’ll execute him.

SENATOR TURSON HASKEL (U-Asura-Ferron Sys): So? It’s not like he’s one of ours, right?

SPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): I’ve just been informed that Director Carmody is here. I’d like to take a short recess to allow him to prepare his materials. We’ll adjourn for ten minutes. Thank you Ms. Coso and Legatus Wallingford for your time.

09:35 Uhr SET - Sitzung beginnt


SPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Guten Morgen zusammen. Wenn Sie sich bitte einigen, wir haben heute viel zu tun. Die Sitzung 53 des 396. UEE-Kongresses wird hiermit zur Ordnung gerufen. Wenn Sie sich setzen, wird der Sachbearbeiter einen Anruf einleiten.

< Pause > Pause >

SPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Wir sind beschlussfähig und können nun Geschäfte tätigen. Wenn jemand neue Gesetze haben sollte, erheben Sie sich bitte und lassen Sie sich hören.

< Pause > Pause >

SPEAKER 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 für das Protokoll angeben würden.

AMB. YANNA COSO (Diplomatisches Korps): Yanna Coso, Botschafterin des Xi'An-Imperiums für das UEE Diplomatische Corps.

SPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Ich danke dir. Frau Coso, wenn Sie Ihre Zusammenfassung vorlegen, dann öffnen wir das Wort für Fragen.

AMB. YANNA COSO (Diplomatisches Korps): Vielen Dank, Herr Präsident. 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 jüngsten Vorschlag von Imperator Costigan zur Freilassung von Herrn Gallen abgelehnt hat. Wir stimmen uns mit dem Büro des Imperators ab und prüfen derzeit andere Möglichkeiten für Verhandlungswege sowie mögliche Vermögenswerte, die wir für einen möglichen Handel auf den Tisch legen könnten. Importeur Costigan ist fest davon überzeugt, dass wir Herrn Gallen mit allen diplomatischen Mitteln nach Hause bringen müssen. Leider haben die Xi'An ihre Forderungen nicht nachgegeben, es sei denn, wir geben ihnen absolute Transparenz über 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.

SPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Danke, Frau Coso. Wir werden nun den Boden öffnen.

SENATOR FESSEL QUINN (T-Green-Ellis Sys): Frau Coso, Sie haben erwähnt, dass Costigan nach Assets sucht, die in einem Handel verwendet werden sollen?

AMB. YANNA COSO (Diplomatisches Korps): Das ist richtig.

SENATOR 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?

AMB. 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 müssen wir entsprechend handeln.

SENATOR NADIR CORR (U-Jalan-Elysium Sys): Wurde von einer Militäraktion gesprochen?

AMB. YANNA COSO (Diplomatisches Korps): Nein.

SENATOR NADIR CORR (U-Jalan-Elysium Sys): Gibt es einen Grund dafür?

AMB. YANNA COSO (Diplomatisches Korps): Intelligenz berichtet, dass die Xi'An ihren Sicherheitsstatus überhaupt nicht erhöht haben. Der Imperator glaubt, dass jede militärische Mobilisierung unsererseits nur eine Reaktion von ihnen auslösen wird. Er glaubt, dass sich die Situation von dort aus schnell verflüchtigen wird.

SENATOR NADIR CORR (U-Jalan-Elysium Sys): Costi ist also nur bereit, sich für sie umzudrehen....

LEGATUS NAVIUM LAVINIA WALLINGFORD (Oberkommando): Das war nicht unbedingt die Position des Imperators. Es war auch meiner.

SPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Der Boden erkennt H.C.L.N. Lavinia Wallingford.

LEGATUS NAVIUM LAVINIA WALLINGFORD (Oberkommando): Marineschiffe sind bereit, zu starten, wenn sich die Situation verschlimmert, aber so, wie sie ist, ist dies kein militärisches Szenario, also warum eskalieren sie zu einem? Meiner Erfahrung nach, wenn jemand während eines Streits ein Messer zieht, wird es von dort aus nie besser.

SENATOR NADIR CORR (U-Jalan-Elysium Sys): Bei allem Respekt für Ihre Weisheit über die Schlägerei war mein Punkt, dass wir einen gefährlichen Präzedenzfall schaffen, wenn wir außerirdische Zivilisationen unsere Bürger verhaften und festnehmen lassen. Wir werden schwach aussehen -

LEGATUS NAVIUM LAVINIA WALLINGFORD (Oberkommando): Wenn wir nach unseren Waffen suchen, werden wir schwächer aussehen.

AMB. 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.

SPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Wenn wir die Anzahl der Fragen für Frau Coso begrenzen könnten, wird Direktor Carmody als nächstes das Neueste über die Untersuchung des Advocacy gegen Herrn Gallen präsentieren.

SENATOR TURSON HASKEL (U-Asura-Ferron Sys): Hat der Imperator erwogen, es in Ruhe zu lassen?

AMB. YANNA COSO (Diplomatisches Korps): Es tut mir leid?

SENATOR TURSON HASKEL (U-Asura-Ferron Sys): Ich gehe ganz vom Tisch weg.

SENATOR NADIR CORR (U-Jalan-Elysium Sys): Sie meinen, ihn im Stich zu lassen.

SENATOR TURSON HASKEL (U-Asura-Ferron Sys): Jemand wird in der Kommission einer illegalen Aktivität in einer fremden Zivilisation erwischt, er sollte den Wirbelwind ernten.

SENATOR NADIR CORR (U-Jalan-Elysium Sys): Aber sie werden ihn hinrichten.

SENATOR TURSON HASKEL (U-Asura-Ferron Sys): Und? Es ist ja nicht so, als wäre er einer von uns, oder?

SPEAKER MARSHALL MADRIGAL (U-Borea-Magnus Sys): Mir wurde gerade mitgeteilt, dass Direktor Carmody hier ist. Ich möchte eine kurze Pause einlegen, damit er seine Materialien vorbereiten kann. Wir vertagen die Sitzung um zehn Minuten. Vielen Dank, Frau Coso und Legatus Wallingford für Ihre Zeit.
