[003 | Video] On The Campaign Trail

[ The video begins with Galla seated at a desk. There's sunlight streaming in through a window on one side, and behind her is a half-filled bookshelf. The subjects range from texts on world history and politics, to medical tomes, to some simplistic books on how to use computers and the internet. She had to get started somehow, okay? In any case, she's casting a confident and somewhat apologetic smile at the camera now. ]

I'll apologize in advance for adding to the coming onslaught of these announcements, but I would like to make it known that I will be running for the position Nonah's Ambassador. I believe my experience as a leader to my own country has left me quite qualified, and as I've already made it my intent to use my knowledge and skill to serve my fellow imPorts, I think I would be suited to an office that is made to serve you.

I understand that I am rather new in comparison to most of my competitors, but I've proven myself to be very adaptable. I come from an era without any of these modern technologies, and yet I am speaking to you today from this marvel of science. And, more importantly, I am dedicated to learning all I can about each of you to better understand the difficulties faced by us in this world; both individually and as a community. Many of you have seen my efforts in that regard already, so you will know that it is no empty promise.

My intent, should I be selected as your Ambassador, is to be your voice, first and foremost. It's true I have many of my own goals, but an Ambassador—any leader or ruler should be the realization of the will of their people. [ Here, her smile fades into a look stoic commitment. ] Should you have any concerns or desires apart from my own, I will do all in my power to make them heard. That is my promise to you.

[ With that moment of intensity out of the way, the smile returns. She even relaxes in her chair. ]

Next, as I have said previously, I would like to focus on strengthening our own community. I have seen much talk of native and imPort relations, and I believe that is an important issue to address, but I would first like to build the sense of connection and unity within our own community. I believe that as we come to understand each other and the many, many different worlds that we hail from, we will be better able to decide how we would like to connect to natives as a whole. Even more, if we are a united front in our requests and demands to the government, I believe we will have even greater successes. I had planned to tackle this issue in my current role as Multi-Cultural Events Coordinator, but I believe I can do even more as Nonah's Ambassador.

As for concrete plans, I can say that I will work to establish a system of support for unregistered imPorts. If the government will force us to register with them to access the full extent of their aid, then I will ensure there is an alternative within Nonah.

I also have strong objections to the way we are branded upon arrival, and will fight against the practice. [ There's a brief, sour twist of her mouth. ] It reeks of ownership, and it is no help to our relationship with natives to have us so blatantly marked as "other." This issue I think will be the most difficult to address, but I will do my best to make the American government see reason about it.

Now I'm sure that I've talked for long enough, so I will leave it at that. I do, of course, welcome any questions that you have for me.

Haha! Well, how audacious of those humans. [She sounds approving though.] How do the Gods feel about that?

I had thought gods would be more... temperamental as a whole, more demanding of worship. How interesting.

And your stance, on these gods?
