Coleraine pub, place where we meet and talk

The room was slowly filling up with every kind of people. There werent enough chairs for most of them, so they were forced to stay on their feet.

Whispering was the only thing you could hear, true men talking, discussing. The air began to be, unbreathable, and damn warm. As usual, the meeting that was scheduled some week ago, was again late to begin.

The warm air, and the pain in the feet one accumulated after sitting straight for hours didnt make things any better.

Finally, consul, Michael Carruth, arrived at the meeting room. Followed by his right hand man in business - Patrick Q.

A small table, in the middle of room was ready for them. The people, that had waited for so long, could finally relax. The meeting was about to start.

Michael looked around. There wasnt one free space, that didnt have a human being.
Hm. Alright here we go Michael whispered to himself.

Thank you all for gathering today in such, very big numbers. I see some old faces, that I havent seen for a long time. Some of you, ended up in jail, like Liam, or like Patrick, sitting next to me, or left Bretonia space to seek support among other groups with similar goals. Or, like Micheal Harrell that almost killed himself by drinking too much beer at Trafa. He is also here today, I believe. Khm. Drinks only after the meeting, mate. And, of course many others, which to save time, wont be mention.

I also see a few new faces arround, which makes me happy. It is always nice to see new fighters for our cause.

I believe, you all know reason why I called this meeting then ?

Daniel O'Shy, the man that did so much for us, finally decided to retire, and continue his, probably last years in peace. I believe, you all know Daniel.

After the horror era caused by treacherous deal with the Queen, he did lead an armed rebellion against the corrupted members of the Union of Gold. Following that, the war conflict with the Armed Force was again reopened.

But, his diplomatic acts werent all about finding new hostiles. One of the best agreements was signed by NLH leadership and Daniel, when both sides agreed on the terms of the Non-aggression pact.

That was our Daniel. Where are we today?

Everything made in the past is threatened by the Kusari expansion into Bretonian space. And, we still consider Leeds, London and Cambridge as our homes. What is the bigger threat, home, or outside enemy ?

But, that isnt the only problem that we face today. An even bigger threat comes from the Border and Edge Worlds. Our losses on Cork werent heavy, thanks to fact that we had time to evacuate most of the families living there. But, I know as a fact that there are many people in this crowd that lost one or more family members on Cork. Most of us wont forget it for the rest of our lives. Can we forgive and forget?

And our third foe is our very old one. The Queen, the BMM lobby and the Bretonian Armed Force.

In these harsh times for our home, should we forget the fact about Graves, and everything that followed Founders Day? Should we try to talk again, but with more maturity in our voices?

Why do I even ask those things?

Our leadership lost one consul, and the Molly Republic cannot be led by one man. History thought us that those kinds of Republics never ended well.

I would like to call three following men, Noal, Angus O'C and Breeny. Come here boys.

Three men approached Michael near the table.

I believe, it is time, that we decided, who will lead our state, into next chapter of history.

Those three men will try to gain your support, with their thoughts and believes. I stated earlier three very important questions for our 'consuls'.
Some of people in this mess may not know you, so, be sure to tell them something about yourselves also. I believe I have spoken enough. Now is your turn. So, who will be first?

Michael sat down and whispered something to Patricks ear.
