lastofthebog[ Padme is wearing very official looking clothes, which seems in line with how she’s sitting behind a very Ambassadorial desk, Galla standing nearby. ]
Jacob Taylor, with some support, has been able to set up an initiative to send messages from the moon base to the suspected OTO space station on Phobos. As a result, we have a chance to at least attempt to open communications with those who recently made an attempt to destroy Heropa entirely.
While I support this as an attempt of diplomacy, it was my wish that the messages be curated at least somewhat. The government has not taken it seriously enough to do so or make the means to do so available to us.
Therefore, today Ambassador Galla and I are here to request that anyone considering sending messages on this transmission think long and hard about the potential consequences of the words they send. It would hardly be useful to open doors only to insult and demean. Regardless of the damage done to us, if we truly wish to learn more about those who wish to cause us harm, conversation is the first step.
[ Galla leans forward to speak next, one hand resting on the back of Padme's chair. Her hair is pinned back in a prim bun, and she's dressed in her usual garb—matronly and intimidating all at once. ]
As Ambassador Amidala has explained, this is a very grave and serious undertaking regardless of what the Americans appear to think. Remember: These people wish us harm. Further, as we saw in the attack on Heropa, they are willing to create untold casualties in their attacks upon us.
Whatever message you choose to write will be your own, but we urge you to keep this in mind while you craft your messages for this transmission. It is not only our lives that hang in the balance here.
We must remember that while we, for the most part, return from death here, those born to this world do not.
[ Padme smiles, a little thin. ]
Thank you for your time.
