All across Yutan personal and public holo terminals sprang to life. Coming into view a prominent News reporter and political corespondent appeared.
The rumor mill is abuzz at what such an address could be about."
The woman suddenly turned as there was movement in the front of the Capital building. The Prime Minister making his way up to the podium with Defense Minister Viktor Alexander at the Prime Minister's side. The camera focused in on the PM as did every other camera from networks all over the planet. Some with offices all of the sector. After a few minutes of cheering the noise died down as the PM began.
"People of Yutan I address you today with a heavy heart and with grave news. The state of our union is in peril. As you may know a few months ago representatives from the world of Commenor came to us to pose a Diplomatic and Economic Alliance between our worlds. As a result of their proposal you the people voted in a public referendum to, for the first time since we were abandoned by the Republic, to give an Alliance of worlds another shot."
The Prime Minister paused before continuing.
"As a result of that vote Defense Minister Alexander was sent to Commenor to represent you the people and look after your interests in this new Alliance initiative. After a hard road and several failures yesterday at my request Minister Alexander presented notice to the ruler of Commenor our intention to propose a new referendum to you the people to withdraw support for the Alliance Initiative. The proposal was met with harsh criticism and a largely unexpected reaction."
The Prime Minister once again paused.
"I will now turn to Minister Alexander to relate to you those reactions..............Minister?"
The Prime Minister took a step to the side as Viktor stepped up to the podium.
"Thank you Prime Minister."
Viktor then turned to the cameras and the people gathered.
"Good citizens of Yutan we have failed you...............I have failed you."
He paused.
"You sent me to Commenor to represent you and ensure your will was respected. Instead what happened was an exercise in utter chaos and an attack on Democracy itself. Progress promised to you that this Alliance would be different.............more stable than the one subjected to you by the failed Republic was a lie. Instead corrupt politicians only interested in the pursuit of power and wealth ruled discussions and pending policy."
Viktor paused again.
"I know a few weeks ago you heard rumors of an attack of the Alliance Senate Hall located on Commenor. I stand here today to inform you that the rumors were in fact true. An attack did take place. However knowledge of that attack was withheld from you by the leader of Commenor Queen Arenais. I will not publicly speculate on her reasoning for withholding such information but the fact is it was withheld. As a result of that attack lives were lost and an as of yet determined amount of property was destroyed. Included in the destruction was the Yutani Senator's office. Luckily at the time of the attack the office was empty."
Viktor paused.
"As a result of those two incidents and others the Prime Minister through my office presented the Alliance Senate an intent to withdraw support for a corrupt Alliance lead by ineffective leadership. As a result of that notice the following intentions were given voice."
Viktor took a small breath glancing at the Prime Minister before turning back to the cameras and continuing.
"It is the intention of the Chancellor to force the Prime Minister, the man who pulled you from the ashes of a failed Republic, into submitting to the rule of the Alliance. In fact Queen Arenais is at this moment drafting a request to travel here to your homes to force such submission.
The Senate of the Alliance is right now drawing up resolutions to establish a Military Blockade around Yutan to force you the people of Yutan into submitting to Alliance rule against your will. Queen Arenais and her Alliance henchmen have no faith in your ability to decide for yourself what is best for you. So they intend to use force to tell you what to think and how to act."
Viktor paused.
"Queen Arenais intends to take away your Democratic freedoms and subject you to tyrannical rule under an Alliance Dictatorship. I stand here today..............the Prime Minister stands here today to not just inform you of the pending Military threat at the hands of the Alliance...............no an Empire masquerading as a Democratic Alliance but to pledge that we will not bow. We will defend your right to make your own choices. We will defend your lives and your livelihoods with every breath in our lungs and every drop of blood in our bodies."
He paused.
"The Prime Minister and I only ask one thing of the people. When Queen................no Empress Arenais and her henchmen arrive we ask that you take to the streets and make your voices heard. We ask that you exercise your right to peaceful protest and show the Empress that would rob you of your free will that you are not weak, that you will not be oppressed, and that you have rights. You have the right to be free, the right to decide your own Destiny, and the right to live without oppression........without Tyranny."
As the crowd erupted into cheers Viktor made a final statement to the people of Yutan.
"Stand up with your Prime Minister as he as stood up for you. Let your voice rise up above oppression and tyranny. Let not just the Empress but all of the Galaxy know that you are free and you are not afraid."
