The Decision. (invited: all senior members of T&T)

[Doreen]

Doreen stood up, her hands together in front of her with a pleasing smile. She addressed Samwell before giving her vote.
"Sir, I am but a young Rheinland girl, doctor and single mother of one and not much for diplomacy and I respect your opinion. I know of someone that you would have a great conversation with in the Taus, a warrior such as yourself but that's not for now."
She took a breath and continued, "I was left drifting in a pod and 8 months pregnant in the radiation fields of Omega 41 not so long ago, left there as a result of a skirmish between Hessians and Corsairs. I was betrayed by Unioners before that. A long story but my story isn't the point."
She approached his shoulder, placing a gentle hand on it like only a doctor could and smiled, "Sir, give this a chance. Fynn gave me one. I have earned the respect of many of those before mentioned people just by honoring my oath as a medical professional."

She then produced a picture on her datapad of her son and showed it to him. "That is Benjen, my son. He is six and full of life. He attends school on planet Houston, a Rheinlander amongst Libetonians and he is loved like one of there own." She put the picture away and smiled again, "That young man is why I choose to do my part to make a better universe for us all. Give T&T a chance. Give the Hackers a chance. Let us try."

She returned to her seat and stood before it, "Fellow Tinkers, I vote in favor." She then sat down and sipped her sparkling water.
