“Madam President, with all due respects on your authority, but I must ask that we commence with Plan twenty Seven with immediate effect. The Stabilisation of the Imperium is falling apart and the Federation are too paranoid for our diplomats to even try and .” The Defence Minister was staring at the President through the holographic communicator. It was quite common for cabinets to hold their sessions this way when President’s weren’t on the capital and indeed, this was no exception as the President sat alone in the chamber, watching the various cabinet members quietly. Various Intelligance and cabinet reports lying on the glass surface as her hand read through the plan that the Cabinet had outlined. Her head slowly remained bent as the image of the Prime Minister started to speak. “The cabinet is in agreement on this one, madam. Plan Twenty Seven will be implemented with immediate effect and the Defence Minister will step up readiness with orders too reinforce the borders and, we’ll begin a military buildup within the CLF and CSN. Let me be quite clear madam, the Federation, the Imperium and Unknown Force 17 has forced our hand and in the national interest we cannot afford the watch and wait approach. If we don’t do something soon it could spell the end of the Ilun Presidency and the Talon Administration. Surely you can see that?”
The President locked her eyes with the Prime Minister, she could see his fear. The Talon Administration had dipped below the 50% approval rating in the recent Channel 7 poll which had meant the opposition was starting to ramp up the campaign in derailing him as Prime Minister within parliament. The President however merely and quietly said “I will not oppose the plan that is being put forward, nor will I question my cabinet on this matter. There is, however the fact that the Federation are paranoid and the Imperium will merely rally more support against us, thus I recommend caution in how this plan is implemented. Otherwise I will invoke Article 13 of the Commonwealth Foreign Policy in taking executive control of this plan. Are we clear?” There was definitely hesitation as the faces amongst the Cabinet looked at each other before a murmured agreement came forth across the screen. The Cxami Avatar merely replied “Good. This meeting is Adjourned.” Her finger tapping on one of her table’s screens as the communicator closed, as she stared at the blank screen the President let out a sigh of exasperation as she stared at the various reports forming on her desk. She didn’t have time to take a breather as the AURA unit that was in charge of the communicator spoke up.
“Madam, there is an incoming conferance transmission with State Marshal Lio, Royal Intelligance Chief Pi and CEO Debra Williams. Would you like to open transmission?”
The President merely tapped the ‘open’ button as two screens opened one with the State Marshal and the Royal Intelligance chief, both were at some sort of table showing Commonwealth territory as they saluted formally. The other screen had the CEO of Synapse Industries, who wore a shark smile as she bowed her head. Zephlia merely frowned as she started “Let me guess, you’ve already heard the Administrations military plan?” There was a small nod from each member of the transmission as the President sighed before adding “What options do we have?” The State Marshal instantly spoke up “There are three-” “Four options, State Marshal.” Came a quick interruption from Debra as he straightened a crease out of his suit and carried on
“Four options, the first is a General Mobilisation of our reserves, this is the most likely outcome but it will provoke the Federation and Imperium too divert forces from UF 17. As my Chief of Royal Intelligance here pointed out too me and that is something we cannot allow too happen.” He paused gesturing towards the Lamansci who added “There is a 45% probability of a repeat of the Border zone incident if we did and a 37% probability of the Imperium deploying a Legion to the border if we did follow that.” There was a nod from the Marshal before saying “The Second option is a reinforcement of the Borders with what we currently have, which would include a step up on our Military Readiness from Level Four to Level Three. This is Parliaments plan and personally I would heavily recommend that we do not follow this too the letter.” The President stared at the Marshal carefully as he added “It would without a doubt, get a reaction from both of our rivals which could lead towards a Two Front Scenario war, which is a absolute grave mistake which I will overrule the plan.”
The chief of Intelligance carried on “The third option is a bit more subtle, we build up but not on the borders, but at the various Naval Facilities, promote some of the Rear Admirals, including Teleni and assign new Fleets for use. It has a 37% probability of being detected by other intelligance agencies and a 45% chance of our media covering it.” “However this would require a supplementary budget from parliament and Vassal approval, something which could takes months to do.” the CEO stepped in adding “Let’s be honest here Madam President, the Shadow Council and Elders will oppose this move to the letter seeing as that means using ‘their’ naval facilities too man and drydock the fleets.”
The Avatar listened to the proposals, silently working out the three that had been proposed before turning towards Debra and asking “The Fourth?” The smile widened as the CEO tapped a screen zooming in on a Nebula bordering the Imperium space. “The Fourth, Madam President is approving Warp Acceleration Gate Network Expansion Planning Permission for the Menni Nebula region. In short, Synapse Industries Security and civilian fleets move in and colonise the region, securing the abundance of resources that our scanner probes detected. After about three months of this expansion, we hand over to the Sovereign forces allowing them an already constructed naval facility. Let’s be honest, the only opposition would be the corporations of the Imperium and if they decide on moving in on our pie... Synapse and Saitama have a few new tricks up our sleeve.” there was a certain amount of venom from Debra as she finally said “All we need is your approval, madam President and we can start tonight.” “May I offer caution, madam President on this move... Synapse Industries would stirr up a hornet’s nest, their plan is to integrate a number of species in that cluster into the Commonwealth border that would be beneficial if War erupted.” The Marshal quickly interjected as the President looked between them.
“I understand your caution, Marshal... however I must reluctantly agree with the CEO on this, Expanding there would be suitable however not under the Synapse Industries banner, but the Sovereign banner with parliament approval. Marshal, I want three fleets prepared to go with the Synapse Forces, you are too secure the area and also explore it. A Starbase and Naval Facility should be approved under the Defence Ministry. And I ask that we do this discreetly, is that everything?”
There were a number of nods from the other three members of the conferance as the President merely remarked “Good, I don’t wish to be disturbed for a few hours on my journey back too Sonra... Any other matter, just send it to my Vice President too tell me about.” With that she closed the channel, standing up and walking quietly out of the room. Her fingers gently rubbing her eyes at the meetings she had as the lights dimmed quickly an automated voice saying “Logging you out, Madam President.”
