Mariko grew accustomed to the Hogosha way of life over the past six years, the crumbling of the Association and the rise of the Alliance of families had her locked in an isolated system. The last election, she already went for the most radical option and despite the cover of the book being different this time, she knew exactly what hid behind the "newcomers": A massive assortment of Hogosha and Farmer joint lobby efforts aimed at messing into the political landscape in a way so far exclusively reserved to the great Keiretsu.
When she left the booth, it was clear where she left her cross: The Ninkyō Dantai
Planet New Tokyo, Government District, 13.07.830.
The Imperial Prime Minister, in a massive show for the public, casted her vote at 14:00 Sirian Time at the central voting housing just next to the Emperor's Imperial Palace. Naturally, everyone knew whom she was voting for:
The Honshū Unity Party.
Goro Okamoto, long-standing Admiral of the Naval Forces, Overseer of the Matsumoto group, decorated war hero and the man who publicly claims responsibility for the Metz famine, did not have to travel anywhere to cast his vote. As part of a warships active crew, he casted his vote within the first hours of the election period through a courier of the Imperial Guard.
With a proud look, he marked the Sunrise Party, hoping to watch the Party fortify their position and win the election this year.
