Jade Allenson looked over the final draft of the invitation; It was hard for her to believe that this day had finally come. All the projection showed that it would not be long until Tappee’s population finally passed the 10 billion marker. To celebrate the event, it had been decided to make a week of festivities, and invite any delegates from any nation to join in, all that we needed for her to make the final approval for the invitations.
“I am not sure that I like this,” she said calmly as glanced over her desk at the man sitting across from her. His name was Terence Kandic, and he was Tappee’s newly appointed Foreign Minister. Like most men who had once worked with First X he had a solid build, with square shoulder, a defined chin, and rugged good look. Most would have simply been intimated by, he had the look of solider, and the service record to prove it. But he was no diplomat, and why that Tribunal had selected him to take this position was a mystery even to her. However, he words seemed to have made him the slightly uncomfortable, as he shifted about in his seat.
“What are you unsure of?” he asked finally asked after thinking for a moment, there was something in his tone, it was he knew what she was thinking or how she felt, but was trying to avoid bring them to the surface. He was afraid her, it did not want to push her.
She took a moment to consider her response; the political climate in Tappee had become a little more volatile as of late. During the war the Tribunal had rallied behind her in a single cause, now that the war was over therine were those on the Tribunal that were now pursuing their own goals, goals that were not always in line with her. Jade knew she had some enemies, but at this point was not sure if Terence was one of them. “I am concerned of timing of the event.”
“Timing?” stammer Terence as tried to understand what she trying to say, his response came quick this time, but it was in the form of anger “We are fast approaching a bench mark of our civilization, and you are questioning the timing of the event. Not only is this a milestone, also for far to long we have suffered the horrors of not one, but two wars.” His voice became louder with each passing word. “The people of this country need something to celebrate, this is that event.”
Jade sat there and listened, if she did feel anything if hidden deep beneath her calm exterior. She slowly leaned forward; as she did she folded her arms together and gently rested them on her desk. “You are more the correct Mr Kandic, the people do need some thing to celebrate, and everyone has sacrificed so much.” She paused for just a brief moment, out of the corner of her she caught a glimpse a family photo, the happy memories contained in the photo where long gone, but Jade could not allow her self to be distracted even for a moment. She turned her focus back to Terence. “If you are going to have any success in your position you must understand the concept of perception.”
Terence went to say something, but she cut him before he was able to get a word in “Clairmont our closest allied, who we fought side by side with during the dual wars, is in the middle of a massive planetary evacuation. I cannot even begin to imagine what it is like for those people. While they are undergoing this mass exodus, and while they are in the middle of this hellish feat, we are going throw a little party and show them how much better we are then they are.”
“I.. I” Terence stuttered.
She had him on the defensive, and with cunning and ferocity she pushed with her verbal attack. “You what? You at no point ever considered them in your little equation. Whether to you realize it not every thing that you do will be analyzed and picked apart by the foreign community, and how they perceive will have drastic implication on how events unfold, and how other view us. I my opinion I don’t think that you are the person for the job. But then again the choice is not up to me, the Tribunal has made the decision to appoint you this position, and regardless they have made the decision to have this celebration no matter what my opinion on this matter. Now go send out these invitation and make the arrangements for everyone arrival.”
Terence went to say something, but stopped at the last moment. Silence fill the room as the two sat there, so many words were exchanged, but nothing was said. Finally Terence rose from his chair and made his way out.
Jade allowed her self to fall deep into her mind trying to play events and predict the way things would on fold. A review of the guest list clearly show that there was more to this then just a party, mostly notably was invite of ESUS member. Jade had withdrawn Tappee from the alliance during its time of need, a choice that most likely did not sit well with its members. There was little doubt in her mind that Abigail would try to use their distant for her betrayal to get their support to have her remover from her position. Abigail had never hide her hatred for her hidden, she would have to tread carefully in the coming days. There was little doubt in her mind that this would be one hell of a party
