The ComStar mediator, Precentor Alvin Chase enters the room, doddering along as usual, but carrying himself with an air of quiet dignity.

"Esteemed Delegates, I open this, the third session of the Council of Geneva and thank the delegates for their patience whilst we resolved some issues around the rules for the running of this august body. I would note again for all delegates, that as both moderator and ComStar delegate, I will not be discussing ComStar actions outside of communications issues with anyone."

Ambassador Simon Kosh of the Oberon Confederation, a smartly dressed elder Gentleman with pointed grey beard and a black eyepatch embossed with the Oberon All Seeing Eye covering his right eye, nods a "thank you" to an aid who brings in replacement refreshments.

"And so it begins anew. Are we to proposed agenda items for this round of discussions? I seem to recall not quite getting to the really invigorating topics in the last session."

The Marian Ambassador, Tiberias Saul, as obnoxious as ever, grins and winks at the Oberon ambassador as he replies:

"You know the answer to that as well as I do Kosh: The Spheroids are to busy bickering over who gets to shit in the sandbox first.

Precentor Alvin Chase, frowning at the Marian interjects before he can continue:

"I would ask that the Marian delegate comport himself with the decorum and dignity that this chamber requires."

All he receives is a snort from the Marian.

Dear Precentor, I am afraid that we must render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's and acknowledge that my esteemed colleague from the Marian Hegemony is probably right. Now if you will excuse me, I will have to sit down or I am afraid that my leg might betray me

Having said that, Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand-PÃ©rigord sits down.

The Marian laughs out loud before replying:

"Better your leg than a Davion eh Charlie?"

Precentor Chase, glowering at the Marin retorts:

"Your snide comments and antics do less for this chamber's progress than the bickering you say the House Lords are so fond of Ambassador!"

Ice Hellion · « **Reply #7 on:** August 07, 2012, 01:30:59 PM »

You have such a sense of humour Ambassador Saul.

An aide from the Free Worlds delegation walks around the back of the room to talk quietly to Precentor Chase. Once the aide is finished speaking, the Precentor looks up and addresses the chamber.

"Delegate, the member from the Free Worlds League will be joining us late today, he is indisposed at the moment and send his apologies."

Precentor Chase, after checking his notes looks across the gathered delegates:

"Would any ambassador like to nominate issues for discussion?"

Refering to his datapad, Ambassador Simon Kosh nods and reviews each topic from the last session.

"Is this a reasonable summary of the topics from the previous discussion?

1 - Pirate Activities - this discussion topic was significantly resolved and a summary is in the transcripts.
2 - Declaration of Independence of worlds from an interstellar realm - was under discussion.
3 - The Kapteyn Alliance, Federated Commonwealth Alliance War.
4 - Warships and their reintroduction into and usage by the Navies of the Great Houses.

Before we continue our discussions, I am sure there must be other topics that my fellow representatives can bring forward."

Ambassador Holstein of the Commonwealth smiled and arranged his papers at the podium, his face masking the slight tiger he was about to throw into the room. He looked about as he cleared his throat. He was actually looking forward to this meeting. He'd heard there was a shakeup within the League diplomatic staff...something about the ambassador and a Comstar Precentor's underage daughter...shame the daughter actually worked for LIC...

"Gentlemen and ladies, let's discuss how the current conflict has set back economic development throughout the periphery....."

I would like to thank the Lyran Commonwealth for its kindness.
What is our main problem?
...
...
...
The pirate sponsorship by some unknown powers.
We are used to deal on our own with our problems but the pirates are the ones hampering our development efforts.

Kwic · « **Reply #13 on:** August 08, 2012, 02:07:19 PM »

"Gentlemen, before we get too far into the discussion of the details of each topic, can we focus first on determining the topics that we will be spending our time on?

We have the following topics on the table now, and the call is out for additional subjects of our attention.

- Declaration of Independence of worlds from an interstellar realm - was under discussion.
- The Kapteyn Alliance, Federated Commonwealth Alliance War.
- Warships and their reintroduction into and usage by the Navies of the Great Houses.
- How the current conflict has set back economic development throughout the periphery.

After the topics are determined we can again select the order and get into discussions in earnest."

Precentor Chase stands and decides to hold down the conversation before it rages out of control:

"As the last session fell off the rails so to speak, I would ask that each delegate make a statement covering the four topics raised by the esteemed delegate from Oberon. Following that, we can summarise any differences on each topic and discuss them."

In order to begin proceedings, ComStar will provide our thoughts on these matters:

1. ComStar is more than willing to support a call for freedom from any world, much as we have from the worlds of Andrion and Texlos.

2. Although ComStar deplores war in all of its forms, there is little The Order, as a neutral party, can be expected to do when all five of the major powers are at each otherâ€™s throats.

3. As ComStar deploys no WarShips, this is a matter for the other nations to discuss, however, I believe the Areas conventions regarding their usage would be an appropriate starting point.

4. ComStar would be interested in seeing how far the Periphery has fallen behind, as a cursory glance at our own data shows GDP in all Periphery states climbing during the last two years. Special not should be taken of the Rim, Mica, Lothian and Illyrian growth rates during this period.
