[member="Delila Castillon"], [member="Myles Davorak"], [member="Rashae"],
"Dells, I thought you were dead."
The droid started this turn of speechifying by greeting the redhead blast from the past,
"I am glad to see you are still kicking around, you should have came to visit sooner, you are still welcomed on Abregado, and Sammo has been searching for you."
HK quipped before turning his head to look at [member="Ultimatum"] and [member="Nerius"] when the other two droids came into the conference room to join him and [member="AD-8"],
"Artificial Sovereign, Lord Abomination."
He nodded to each, before looking over to the organic representation,
"Lord Nerius here got his title from one of our droid lord comrades, Lord Mettallum, you see he is a very religious droid and follower of the cult of the Maker who believes that HRD models like Lord Nerius are abominations, he believes that droids and organics can exist peacefully but droids should embrace their cold metal aesthetics instead of emulating appearance of organics."
It would give them a glimpse into what was an actual droid culture forming in their sector, and a look at the tumultuous internal politics of the Metal Lords, but HK would rather they knew more about their still slightly rocky state than to assume Nerius got his title by mass murdering organics or something like that.
Looking over to Ultimatum he assured the other droid,
"And you have not missed much, Sovereign, I was about to issue my decree concerning Corellia and its current state. For the rest of the conference I suppose we will discuss the terms set by this decree and how to further relief the situation on Corellia for the best outcome for all parties involved."
He answered to Nerius' question before looking back towards Faith,
"We have already received word of Alderaan's involvement and interest in Corellia, and it is because of this complex situation and tensions why we have reached out to you to gather here just as the Corellians did. To ease the tensions is our goal and what my decree is concerned with, so please, now that we are all here, allow me to speak my piece about my official stance on it and then we can continue our discussion about the current tensions and border state."
With that HK raised one of his hands to ask for no further interruptions as he was finally about to do the decree-speech,
"Metal does not age, we are eternal, a droid never forgets. We do not forget the crimes and injustice done upon us and the free people of this Galaxy, nor do we forget about the rare moments of kindness throughout our long lifetimes when the organics showed us kindness. Over millenniums I fought alongside many Corellians who were willing to risk their lives for the freedom and prosperity of this Galaxy in the face of warring Sith who would endanger them, among them Lord Protector Ayden Cater who was the Exarch of Corellia during my time with the Omega Protectorate and later died during the Omega Incident, destroying a planet-killer super-weapon. I hereby acknowledge the contributions of Corellia towards preservation of Galactic Society and therefore preservation of free droid interests. I acknowledge that the Corellian population who called upon the Metal Lords to come under our protection may have been a vocal minority and may not represent the stance of majority of Corellians or even the Corellian government. I acknowledge Corellian sovereignty and independence, whichever power they will choose to align with, the choice will be made by them alone and I will not interfere with the procedures unless requested by the Corellian government Such is the decree of Iron Lord Protector Above Denon. Artificial Sovereign, Lord Abomination, Metal Lord AD-8,"
HK did a half-turn to look towards the other Metal Lords as he addressed them,
"I hereby ask you to officially support my decree and support Corellian freedom and ability to choose their alliances through whichever method they deem proper and adequate without our interference in their political affairs."
The droid would turn back to look at Faith,
"I would also like to officially ask Alderaan to acknowledge the Metal Lord claims on major worlds such as Denon, Nubia, and Hakassi, Corellian Colonies and their own independence to choose allegiances regardless of Corellia's choice, such as Columnus, New Plympto, Saberhing and other minor neighboring worlds, and outlying fringe worlds of Thoadeye and Leria Kersil where Metal Lord presence has already formed peacefully and the cooperation with local populations is underway. Finally, I ask you to acknowledge that a droid, when proven to be self-aware, autonomous, and intelligent enough is a sentient being, and therefore privileged to the same civil rights and liberties as an organic being in Alderaan territory."
Then the droid lowered his hand to signal he was done making his official statement regarding Corellia and the list of demands that followed, both concerning more minor territorial disputes throughout their borders, FWC's acknowledgement that free machines now have their own independent territory, and their official stance on droid liberties within their own territory, which was probably something they could expect coming. HK was sure that Alderaan wasn't really engaging in practices of torturing and abusing droids, except maybe Dells in her spare time, but getting their official stance on it was part of the bureaucracy that went into the meeting.
