We have, however, discovered something very amusing. Has the CIS found more about the Zebesian Pirates?" That's what over a thousand years of isolationism does. You know that we are still learning the art of diplomacy. " I'm afraid none have responded at present. I will not bore you with the details for Operation Rhodes, but I want to know if anyone has responded to the diplomatic message your successor Nostrum sent out to the nations courteous enough to keep an embassy at Centrum."īorlon shook his head. " I believe you wanted to speak with me?" Vompey noted that there was currently a thunderstorm over the city. " Ah, Vompey! What pleasure! Fine weather today, isn't it!" We will be sorry for any delays, sir."Īfter a moment, the image of the Secretary of Foreign Affairs appeared. It was safely protected from eavesdropping. He activated the holoprojector that was connected to others throughout the Party and Government Buildings. Vompey decided he needed to talk to Borlon. Not that he expected the interstellar community to respond to a Centralist request for help of all things. "Hmm, sending a Task Group against these pirates seems sufficient, if other nations chose assist us." Not that an attack was imminent, but he lacked anything else to do.
He was busy looking at the Navy High Command's plans for sending a force against the Space Pirates of Zebes.
That was shown all too clearly when he shouted down the Army and Marine representatives opposing the planned manpower cuts, saying that they were lucky he was not going to go much farther than halving the ground forces' numbers.īut he was not concerned with that at this moment. Many years of experience inside the Party and Government had taught him that. Cracus Vompey was never a man given to sensibilities.
