Emergency session of the Council of the High Lords of Terra, Imperial Palace, Terra.
The Eight members of the Council (Lord Commander Militant Ursarkar E. Creed, Lord Air Marshal Solar Macharius, Lord High Admiral Parol Cruse, His Holiness Paulus III, Grand Provost Marshal Erika Howl, Captain-General Constantin Valdor, The Master of the Administratum Goge Vandire, and Inquisitor Lord Torquemada Coteaz of the Ordo Malleus) had gathered in an emergency session of the Council, after the recent bombing of the Kennaxian Empire's Parliament.
Creed: Gentlemen, and Miss Howl, *He nods to the young woman sitting across from him* we have gathered today to discuss what we have all heard by know from one source or the other, the recent bombing of the Kennaxian Empire's Parliament.
Howl: Indeed, it matters not how each of us has gathered this information, *She makes a quick glance to a far corner filled with shadow* but what we shall do about it. The Imperium can no longer sit by while the rest of the world gears for war.
Macharius: What exactly are you proposing Ms Howl? A letter of condolence to the Kennaxian people on their recent unrest? An end to our centurt long stance on isolation from the rest of the world?
Howl: Not the letter, but yes an end to our isolation. We are a great nation, expanding across a wide area of land, and it is time for us to bring that expanse intune with the world.
Paulus: What you speak is nothing but heresy! *Spittle flies from his mouth, landing upon his golden robes* Our goal is the complete unification of man under The God-Emperor, not to standby and let man continue to suffer under several rule.
Valdor: Calm yourself your Holiness. *He maakes a gesture with his hands for everyone to calm as well* We may still be able to complete the goal, with the adoption of Ms Howl's plan. Our information has brought to our ears of a League of United Sovereign States, surely this League is attempting to achieve our goal as well.
*Some semblence of calm falls over the gathered*
Vandire: Perhaps the young lady is right. After all, we are facing continuous unrest from the populace from the increasingly common shortages of food for the civilians
Paulus: *With a slight smirk* Are you suggesting that your precious Administratum cannot care for the people? Maybe it should now be subservient to the Imperial Cult, I'm sure the faith of the people will provide for them.
Vandire: *Rises to his feet, knocking over his cup of coffee* Has that faith kept you and your Cardinals fat while the people starve?!
Cruse: Gentlemen please! This is not the time to argue over who is superior within the nation and who supplies the most for the people. We are here to decide on what course of action we must take. Now please sit Mr Vandire and finish what you were saying.
Vandire: *He sits back down, though after exchanging chairs for his was covered in coffee* As I was saying, we may need to promote friendly ties with the other nations, in hopes that we may be able to create trade deals for food.
Creed: This is a strong point and may perhaps be the only one needed. What say you Coteaz? You have been silent this whole time.
Coteaz: *In a disturbingly deep voice* The Inquisition has no opinion on the matter. So long as The Emperor's will is done, we will vote aye. Though it would be best to listen to His Holiness, as any attempts to not fullfill The Emperor's dream is heresy.
*A general feeling of uncomfort falls over the other 6 members. Many shift their gazes as to not look into Coteaz's deep, dark eyes*
Howl: Are we in agreement? *She glances toward Paulus*
Creed: Aye
Valdor: Aye
Vandire: Aye
Cruse: Aye
Macharius: Aye
Coteaz: Aye
Paulus: Abstain
Howl: Then with 7 Ayes, 0 Nays, and 1 Abstain, the policy is decided and we shall end our isolation. I propose sending Captain Nax Thane as our ambassador to the LUSS.
Paulus: Now that I will say nay to. Let one of our Astartes be our delegate if we must, not one of your Air-Heads.
Creed: I must agree with His Holiness. I feel that the Astartes would serve better as Ambassador, rather than a Pilot.
Vandire: Agreed.
Howl: Very well. I will not call it up to vote, seeing as how I have heard no objection. Will Colonel Ollanious Machnol of the Adeptus Astartes be sufficient your Holiness?
Paulus: Yes, he shall.
Vandire: I shall notify the populace later today on our decision.
Macharius: It is settled then. I move for this emergency session of the Council to be officialy over. All agreed?
All: Aye
Cruse: Council adjourned until next quarter.
*As the members of the Council exited te chamber, a shadow moved from a far corner*
