[The feed clicks on to reveal a woman who has certainly dressed to leave a very specific impression. But the difference between this, and the woman who seemed kind, but lost in the locker room, is staggering. Her entire countenance though polite, is detached. Regal, and severe]

While I have only been here a few short days, I have already become acquainted with plenty of information on the circumstances we find ourselves in. We find ourselves in. We have all been taken from our homes, from our duties, our families- And any course of action should be decided on and taken together.

We should not be a group divided and yet we are. It's come at a great cost. [It's clearly not a rehearsed speech. She pauses as much for effect, to allow it to sink in- As she does to gather her own thoughts for the best way to continue. Her only aim is to generate discussion- To perhaps set up the building blocks for change, because things certainly can't continue as they have. She's done enough digging to be quite sure of that, ty pirates]

The information- it can be difficult to find, or simply isn't being shared at all- Intentionally conflicting or misleading. Primarily between the separation amongst the departments. How can we hope to return to our homes, to enter fruitful negotiations with those running this ship, without trust? Without making all our resources available to each of us?

I'm certain this is an idea that has been shared before, and so it is my hope that some of you are like minded, and that if you are not- I have said something that will resonate with you. Offer you a new perspective. If you would like to talk about this matter further, please, don't hesitate to contact me. My name is Padmé Amidala.

All opinions should be heard, and I welcome them. [She doubts she'll get much of a response, or much of an agreement- rather, the population is far too large for that- But it's a start]

Such an optimistic speech. Suppose the man running the ship doesn't wish to speak with us at all?

You remind us of things we are all aware of, lady Padme. But I fear it's not so simple as discussion and negotation, especially here.

[Harry frowns. He doesn't trust 'political' speeches.]

Using plain language, what exactly do you want to see happen?

All I hear is fluff, and I know fluff. It sounds like you're accusing the departments of withholding information, of not working together, of not making resources available, and I'm sure that's not what you meant at all, now, is it?

[ Everyone else is getting grumpy for her, and they tend to be better at words, so for once Carolyn will try to keep a level head. ]

What would you negotiate for? [ Beat. ] And there are people here who can't return home.

[give him a second, he thought that he saw someone that he knew before hiding it with general disdain.]

Lady, if you want people to start listening, stop talking like a politician.

[ oh boy. ]

Ward doesn't talk to the passengers.

[ but certain other things do, not that it helps. ]

Not being able to listen when the grown ups are talking would be your problem, not ours. That's what the Ritalin's for.

You're so newly arrived, my lady, I'd beg you not to insult our efforts. There's more at work here than meets the eye, even for those who have dwelled here for long years.

[ hush now, no need for the truth. ]

Any and all attempts don't seem to go over too well either. Sorry to rain on your parade, sweetheart, but just layin' down the facts.
coffeeking: (look at this crop)

Then why do you think we can get anywhere by entering into negotiations with people or beings who may not even exist?
enforced: (Obi - discussions)

[personal profile] enforced 2013-08-14 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Have you had any luck, Senator?
enforced: (Obi - slightly surprised)

Have they made you list your credentials yet?
