[Councilman Palpatine's voice is a familiar enough one. Like some old timers, he has a penchant for using the voice function of the Warp Band; video is still quite new to him. However, he sounds relaxed today. Even a little grandfatherly.]

Good evening, people of Union. I hope that this finds you well. I know the last few weeks have been trying. The tragedy that befell our city was felt by everyone, and all of our lives were touched by it... and, I think, by the aid so generously brought by our allies.

[Enough of that.]

I'm hoping to submit several proposals to the Council for the rebuilding of the city. One concern that we should consider is defense -- how to prevent attacks like that, and, should one occur again, reduce the loss of life.

I thought I should ask all of you what sorts of defenses you might see. Shelters and evacuation routes seem necessary, first and foremost, I think.

Very good. I knew you'd be prepared.

Ah, but I understand that. Leave the council to me, then. I think that I can make a reasonable case. We have to change our thinking in the face of such dangers, without losing who we are.

cries I'm sorry this month has literally been 19 days of hell

If you would like, I can provide you with ample evidence based on our findings with the Seekers, as well as a bit of my own work.

noooo worries!! I know how it is

[ruleoftwo]

Oh, yes. That would be most helpful, Luxanna. I've always admired the Seekers' work.
