Zeff walks to the podium slowly, wearing black, and flanked by Azzi and Kapryn. He looks obviously saddened by recent events, but manages a few smiles for the holos. After surveying the crowd and taking a deep breath, he begins to speak:


"Greetings Sentients of the Republic,


It has been a trying month for us all, but we are finally pushing through to brighter pastures! We have gotten rid of the vast majority of Black Sun leadership within the New Republic, and can breathe easy once again. Many of us, myself included were deceived by these people who we considered to be friends. However, we cannot fall into the trap of paranoia, nor can we become lax in our vigilance against them. Our best weapon against this sort of attack is you, the citizens who inform us of things we never otherwise would have known. Keep up the good work Republic!


I have the pleasure of announcing 2 new and 1 old but slightly different members of the Advisory council.


The first is Gojin Zen. Gojin has been the driving force behind the Ministry of culture for months now, and has already began changing the Ministry for the better. If you are looking for rewarding and interesting work, send Gojin a message!


The second is Gavin Kaos, who is taking over the always sexy post of Minister of Trade and Industry. Like Gojin, his name begins with a G. Also like Gojin he is exceptionally qualified for the position, and has years of experience. All of you production people know how qualified he is, and welcome him with open arms as your new Minister!

The third and final is a familiar face. Azzi Blackgate has served in basically every position you could in the NR, and has decided to continue his diversity! Azzi has transferred from Minister of Trade and Industry to diplomacy. I am thrilled to have Azzi as our High Ambassador, and encourage all of you at RDC to strike up a conversation with him, and help him in this transition!


Now that we have that out of the way, I have a few awards to announce. Owyn Darklighter has been one of the longest serving members of the advisory council, and never complained once about the difficulty of his job. He gets loads of messages a day, and manages to still do a great job at JMC.

It is with great joy that I award the Long Standing Meritorious Service Award! Congrats Owyn, drinks are on you!

The next award goes to Gojin Zen, for his work in the ministry of Culture. I am proud to give him the Outstanding Excellence Award.
I realize this timing is a bit awkward as he was just named to AC, but he certainly deserves it, so tough beans :).

The Army officer exchange program is still going exceptionally well, and will be continued in the coming months. Not to be outdone, Starfighter Command has ordered an additional 3000 fighters to combat the army's recent sexiness. We are all anxiously awaiting the Navy's response to these measures of sexiness, which will undoubtedly blow us all away.


On a sad note, Arnulf Slapwalker has retired from the Navy. He served with distinction for many years, reaching his highest rank of Admiral and BG commanding officer. He was my first Naval Commanding officer when I was placed in a Battle group, and was an excellent leader.

Marshall Russ has authorized Arnulf to receive the Meritorious Service Medal. Enjoy retirement el slappo, we'll miss you.

It is with great sadness that I announce my wife Sephe's passing. My brother Evan has already informed many of you about it, and I think him for that. She was an excellent wife, and a wonderful woman. Those of you who knew her knew how lucky I was that she married me, and I for one will never forget her.


Thank you, and Long Live the Republic!!"

Zeff steps back from the podium and you see him wipe a tear from his eye before following Kappy and Azzi off-stage
