Byzantium Summit

Grazia turned to the door, which had suddenly opened, and was pleased to see she had been right about the impending arrival of the Mexica representative. She stodd in greeting, making a gesture to a nearby chair, and waited for the Deputy Secretary to approach them before sitting again.

"Deputy Secretary, how fantastic that you could join us." she handed Atl another folder, containing the same report she had given Gallo "As I was telling to the First Minister, the withdrawal of Selen from international affairs leaves a power vacuum that could well be filled by impulsive and aggressive nations, such as the Sol Federation. We caught a glimpse of their intentions during the recent Mekselia Summit, no doubt everyone in this room knows what happened there. My government proposes an alternative leadership, one spearheaded by openness both at home and abroad and a trilateral commitment to social, economic and technological development."
