Reporter: Why did you decide to enter the running, Miss...?
Sam: Allington-Forrester. I agreed to accept candidacy for the Presidency because I believe in the Republic and right now it's facing an enemy unlike anything it's ever faced before. An enemy which destroys nations and leaves others ruined. Indecision.
In the past year, the Parliament has been dissolved and a General Election held 3 times! Enough is enough! If this continues, the Republic itself will utterly collapse at its moment of greatest weakness, and it won't be the Federation, the Romulans, the UNSC or even the Dominion who destroy us; it will be ourselves. The greatest enemy lies at the Republic's heart. A cancerous tumour which is destroying us from the inside out - a poison in our well. It has to end.

Reporter: What do you plan to do that other Presidents haven't already tried?
Reporter: What do you plan to do that other Presidents haven't already tried?
Sam: I plan to do what none of them could try - what none of their parties would have allowed. I'm going to take the Republic's Political Structure apart and rebuild it from the foundations up. I'm going to redefine how President's are elected, how they choose the cabinet ministers, how the senators are elected...
I am going to revolutionise the Republic for the present age.

Fury: well this is going to be interesting. Helm set course for the republic capital I want to keep a good eye on this till its all settled.
Helm: aye sir.

Fury: if she can pull it off she could change everything for the better.
Hill: she simply has to pull it off. Its not going to be easy.
Fury: never said it would be. But I have a feeling she is up to the task.
He taps his badge
Fury: Clint get down here o have a new assignment for you.
Clint: on my way director fury.
Jacob: what are you doing?
Fury: taking extra precautions to protect them. Zanders is good but she can't do it alone. Clint will be assigned to silent watch and protect them.
Jacob: without telling her? If this back fires she won't be happy.
Fury: she won't be happy if I told her I was doing it. Clint's one of our best undercover agents and he's from the republic. He knows what to do and how to handle this. Let's just hope that she doesn't make it any more difficult then this will already be.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."
Sam: I know what I'm suggesting sounds crazy- even dangerous, but so was the decision for Deep Space 61 to declare independence from the Federation and look how far we've come since then.
Sam: I know what I'm suggesting sounds crazy- even dangerous, but so was the decision for Deep Space 61 to declare independence from the Federation and look how far we've come since then.
Clint: shes good
Fury: she is your new assignment. You are to make sure nothing happens to her or her husband. And knowing how they behave well your going to have fun.
Hill: oh yeah he's going to have a blast.

OOC: Why have Naginata do it? They still have the thing Clara's head, right?
*Aerv does the same thing with Mara... Mara doesn't want to go though. She holds onto his arms.*
Mara, sleep talking: Mm... don't go, teddy...
*Aerv stifles a chuckle.*
*This starts a lot of mumbling and whispering.*
After arriving fury slips in along with hill and Jacob and are watching the meeting.

Jean: Huh. I think they're done, but I can't tell...
*Aerv does the same, somehow staying in Mara's 'don't leave' range.*
Aerv: Elements, she's clingy.
*He smiles at Luke, joking.*
*The mumbling continues, as well as some sounds as the reporters stop recording, thinking the conference over.*
Fury: well Clint looks like you have your job cut out for you.
Jacob: well if you don't want to draw a lot of attention we should probably go to since it looks like it's about to disperse
Clara: Err...
*Clara looks at her awkwardly, redding a little.
