The Taishogun watched Horatami depart, and other members of the Court enter. He looked again at the small cylinder recently delivered by the Consortium, as part of their macarbe 'gift'. He raised a hand and spoke.
"The Taishogun is most displeased by what he has heard in recent days.
He now wishes to tell the Court that the Most Honourable Shogun Otaru Egami, has stepped aside from his command. The reason for this is mine alone to know.
I call upon the other Shoguns to attend this Court, where I shall appoint the next Shogun to stand before me.
The remaining Shoguns shall also call upon envoys from the Consortium and the Sisterhood to attend this Court - to respond to the allegation raised by Roju Horotami.
That is all."
And with that the Taishogun returned to His chambers, and the Court was cleared.
