*Vincent walks into the Council Chambers. As a newly appointed Brotherhood elder he walks with his head held high and proud. He takes a seat next to Elder Globalo, and starts pouring some rum from a Jug that is at the centre of the table.*
My Fellow Elders,
Firstly I would like to thank Elder Sephardi and Elder Montoya for the confidence they have shown in me to honor me with the title as Elder. This is not something I asked for, but was presented to me. I have always been un-diplomatic in the ways of negotiations and dealing with our enemies. I trust they have taken this into consideration when they appointed me as a Elder of the Brotherhood.
For those here that do not know me, I am Vincent Valentine.
Now, onto some serious matters arising. There are the issue of the hunters claiming victory after victory in our neighbouring systems, outcast invading our home of Gama on a regular basis, and indie corsairs running around leaderless like a headless chicken. *Valentine Downs his Rum and slams the empty glass onto the table* Senors, it is time for us, the elders to step up, and start leading this people of ours. *He glances at all the elders sitting around the table* For too long we have negotiated, talked, and cowarded behind these doors discussing, and discussing like woman..and not take the fight to the our enemies like Corsairs.
Now, my time as Elder may be short lived because of my words here today, but if it be so, then let it be. Just know that we are a strong people, but we need leaders, setting examples. And as Elder, I intend to do that.
*Valentine sits down, staring the other elders in the eyes* What say you Elders?
