White Lotus Political Panel - OPEN FOR ALL TO POST (stay inRP of course)

[Tigger]

Marika made her way into the congress chamber and was directed to a reserved seat. "At least I get a good spot," she thought to herself as she grumbled mentally, "I swear, it must be a universal law that paralegals get crap hours and crap tasks."

She took a seat and readied her data pad for taking notes while wishing she were back at the office learning financial trading and stocks and dealing with corporate law like the others who were her senior. In her mind the IND had it right. Political boundaries were of no consequence, the only thing of value was trade and the almighty credit.

After making a quick check to see if there was any last minute reprieve from her employer she placed her attention to the podium as the man began to speak. As he made his speech her fingers automatically made her shorthand notes as she'd been taught to do. For so long she'd done it that doing so was simply automatic.

When time came for questions she realized that she'd been listening so intently that she almost missed that the woman was looking at her.

"Um, sorry," she said. "Marika Saito for Okane Financial, LLC."

She looked down at her notes and then said "Okane Financial does not have any questions at this moment as it needs time to digest the presentation. However I do have a personal question from me."

"I'm not at all familiar with navy fleets and whatnot. When you say that you were part of the Honshu fleet, do you mean for the KNF?"
