"Easy there Tarik, our friend is right at one point. In has always been a joint venture, so do not gloat about 'might of Republic' here. Especially not here. If anything it is Guild's ingenuity, resources and flexibility combined with military expertise and statecraft experience of our Republic. Without one, the other can not be as efficient." Rasim explained to Tarik. "So, let's not be rude to eachother and enter a contest who is the greatest Tau dweller while we think of unification. We would not want to repeat the petty squabbles some people did over time from day one." Rasim then looked at Anton. "How about we get propaganda going as a first step and try to seek out our crewmembers? Everyone should have the right to choose if they want to tag along or stay. One other problem. The 'mighty' Republic of ours may not take it very kindly that we technically would defect in case of our little unification rally. Any ideas?"
