Gathered here at the Royal State House, the normal meeting place of the Assembly are all the trappings of the royal government of Wellsia. First and foremost is His Royal and Imperial Majesty Harold, King of Wellsia and Rudhula, Emperor over the Nebrusians. Sitting in state with the Assembly is also all members of the Council of 104, the Imperial Council, including both the Grand Dignitaries and the Directors, The Archheirarch and members of the Religious Council. The vistors gallery is standing room only filled with lords and dignitaries, members of the press and important members of the society. We are gathered here to listen to a speech by Lord Oswald Bastable, Overprocurator (Prime Minister) of the Empire of Wellsia and the Argive Colonies.
"Your Majesty, Lords, nobles, honored guest, we are gathered to discuss the insult of the Federal Council of Funce and ‘AT Hitap Tatta of Menna Shuli. They have, and I believe without malice, questioned the very honor and integrity of Fieldmarshal Ponsonby and through him all Wellsians. Fieldmarshal Ponsonby, who we all know is a man of the greatest integrity and a firm follower of the truth of the Good Lord. It is because of this reputation, that he was chosen to lead the investigation. In the beginning Fieldmarshal Ponsonby knew the investigation would be questioned unless he could show all that Truth would overcome Evil. For this reason, he invited every nation that wish to do so to send observers to witness the investigation, OCES agents from Ostehar participated in every aspect, since we have no experience with Atomic weapons, Our good friends the Miklanians sent one of the DSVs to retrieve the bomb from the bottom of the ocean.
This being said, I do not blame any nation that questions our good name and honor. We have lost that right to our own actions. While we did not build the bomb, it was built on our soil, under our very noses. We allowed the construction of a weapon of pure evil to come into being, because we were to naive to prevent it. There is an old saying 'Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.' We as a nation and people were fooled, we took the words of others at face value and did nothing to ensure that their word were not of the Lie. We have allowed the balance between good and evil to be tilted away from the good, and we are all tainted because of it. We must be more diligent in the future and never again be made fools of by those that follow the Lie and evil.
The findings of Fieldmarshal Ponsonby and his staff are opened for any and all to see. Though to ourselves, we no that our only crime in all of this was to not pay attention to what was happening in our own territory. We can only ask forgiveness in this. What is more important is the discovery of who took the Charbagnian scientist, their notes and possibly a second bomb. The OCES agents with the 3rd Airmobile that discovered and investigated the cave could not tell one way or another if a second bomb could have been made. What is known , is that the n=men who built the bombed dropped into the Southern Sea and their work was removed from the cave by either a country with their own agenda, or the Good Lord forbid a terrorist organization. Imperial Intelligence has sent copies of pictures taken by Christopher Vane, a reporter for the Daily News who was with the 3rd Airmobile when it was ambushed. Seventeen members of that force died that day and nine more were injured. These photographs have been distributed to the foreign intelligence agencies, hoping that this combined effort may shed light on the subject.
I ask all gathered here to restrain your anger and accept that we must prove to the world that we are as honorable and as truthful as we know ourselves to be. We must put our faith in the Good Lord and know that he will show us the way to the Truth. The Lie can not hide for long and when it surfaces, we and all other good men of the Islands must be ready to stand together. Thank you for your time and may the Good Lord watch over all of us."
There you have it the Overprocurator cautions restraint and hopes that our friends and neighbors,come together with us to track down those that did this evil deed and those that have helped them,
