I have awaited your return, O bringer of light to our[ST:n ]dark future.[ST:wait ] |
| 2 |
|
qev027103_MSG0002 |
Everything has gone perfectly thanks to your efforts.[ST:wait ] |
| 3 |
|
qev027103_MSG0003 |
A fleet of reporters mobbed Adappin after his speech.[ST:n ]You can imagine the results when he eagerly[ST:n ]confirmed every suggestion they threw out.[ST:wait ] |
| 4 |
|
qev027103_MSG0004 |
I feel sorry for the fellow, of course, but this is[ST:n ]about the future of all. We Orphe will remember[ST:n ]his sacrifice always.[ST:wait ] |
| 5 |
|
qev027103_MSG0005 |
Now that Adappin has dropped out, the Nopon[ST:n ]representative has finally begun campaigning in[ST:n ]earnest—after much urging from us.[ST:wait ] |
| 6 |
|
qev027103_MSG0006 |
He shall be giving his first speech here today.[ST:n ]I hope you will attend and hear what he has to say.[ST:wait ] |
| 7 |
|
qev027103_MSG0007 |
Ah, here we are. I believe he is set to begin.[ST:n ]This is Kopopo, the Nopon candidate.[ST:wait ] |
| 8 |
|
qev027103_MSG0008 |
Er... *AHEM!*[ST:n ]*ahem* *ahem*[ST:wait ] |
| 9 |
|
qev027103_MSG0009 |
Hello, one and all. Kopopo is representative of Nopon.[ST:wait ] |
| 10 |
|
qev027103_MSG0010 |
If Kopopo elected to serve on provisional government,[ST:n ]he do many fine things.[ST:wait ] |
| 11 |
|
qev027103_MSG0011 |
First thing Kopopo do is establish Nopon tax![ST:wait ] |
| 12 |
|
qev027103_MSG0012 |
That mean all Nopon shopping in New LA pay[ST:n ]negative 80 percent tax rate.[ST:wait ] |
| 13 |
|
qev027103_MSG0013 |
This daring new policy sure to bring massive economic[ST:n ]growth! ...To Nopon.[ST:wait ] |
| 14 |
|
qev027103_MSG0014 |
Government by Nopon, of Nopon, for Nopon![ST:n ]This promise of Kopopo.[ST:wait ] |
| 15 |
|
qev027103_MSG0015 |
And by \"promise,\" Kopopo mean \"thing forced on[ST:n ]everyone else.\"[ST:wait ] |
| 16 |
|
qev027103_MSG0016 |
So vote for Kopopo! Yaaay![ST:wait ] |
| 17 |
|
qev027103_MSG0017 |
I do not...[ST:wait ] |
| 18 |
|
qev027103_MSG0018 |
I do not even have the words.[ST:wait ] |
| 19 |
|
qev027103_MSG0019 |
This is no better than the Ma-non platform![ST:wait ] |
| 20 |
|
qev027103_MSG0020 |
Hmm... Perhaps it is my expectations that are[ST:n ]unreasonable.[ST:wait ] |
| 21 |
|
qev027103_MSG0021 |
Even if the specific rhetoric is a bit unbalanced,[ST:n ]having someone within the government advocating[ST:n ]for xenoform rights and issues is what really matters.[ST:wait ] |
| 22 |
|
qev027103_MSG0022 |
It is the dialogue that emerges from this process which[ST:n ]will guide the future of the city's governance.[ST:wait ] |
| 23 |
|
qev027103_MSG0023 |
But what are your thoughts?[ST:n ]Is the Nopon a viable candidate?[ST:wait ] |
| 24 |
|
qev027103_JNK0010 |
Approve |
| 25 |
|
qev027103_SEL0011 |
Shrug and say that Kopopo will probably be fine. |
| 26 |
|
qev027103_JNK0020 |
Propose |
| 27 |
|
qev027103_SEL0021 |
Suggest that an Orphean should run instead. |
| 28 |
|
qev027103_MSG0024 |
Right then. We shall just have to keep faith that[ST:n ]we have done the proper thing.[ST:wait ] |
| 29 |
|
qev027103_MSG0025 |
And naturally, sending Kopopo as our government[ST:n ]representative is not the end of our efforts.[ST:wait ] |
| 30 |
|
qev027103_MSG0026 |
All of us shall continue to support his work,[ST:n ]regardless of race. Both to further establish our rights,[ST:n ]and to foster a deeper partnership with humans.[ST:wait ] |
| 31 |
|
qev027103_MSG0027 |
Your efforts in making this possible have been[ST:n ]most commendable.[ST:wait ] |
| 32 |
|
qev027103_MSG0028 |
I thank you on behalf of all New LA xenoforms.[ST:wait ] |
| 33 |
|
qev027103_MSG0029 |
...Thank you.[ST:wait ] |
| 34 |
|
qev027103_MSG0030 |
...Us? Rather than the Nopon?[ST:wait ] |
| 35 |
|
qev027103_MSG0031 |
That is not...[ST:n ]We have never considered such a thing.[ST:wait ] |
| 36 |
|
qev027103_MSG0032 |
My race represents an extremely small minority.[ST:wait ] |
| 37 |
|
qev027103_MSG0033 |
I am afraid we simply cannot expect the same[ST:n ]volume of votes as a Ma-non or Nopon candidate.[ST:wait ] |
| 38 |
|
qev027103_MSG0034 |
This fact is what forced us to adopt more indirect[ST:n ]measures.[ST:wait ] |
| 39 |
|
qev027103_MSG0035 |
If I thought the support was there, it might be[ST:n ]something to consider. However, it feels like a[ST:n ]less-than-realistic hope.[ST:wait ] |
| 40 |
|
qev027103_MSG0036 |
Though now that it is on the table, would you mind[ST:n ]asking some of the city's residents how they feel[ST:n ]about the prospect of an Orphean representative?[ST:wait ] |
| 41 |
|
qev027103_MSG0037 |
I would very much appreciate it.[ST:wait ] |
| 42 |
|
qev027103_MSG0038 |
If enough support is present across racial lines,[ST:n ]we will accept the will of the people and announce[ST:n ]our candidacy.[ST:wait ] |
