Loic makes his way to the press briefing room, to record an address that can be replayed to marchers by whatever means the police and military will be able to improvise.

Mr.Speaker...sorry to keep playing musical chairs.
Per Jeremiah Olson will now replace John Liep as the ESA GA member.
Thank you
Josephus

Thank you

Now that the riot has been quelled, Loic heads for the park to see if any workers decided to take him up on his offer of an alternative to committing mayhem.
At the end of what has been a busy day...Josephus drops by the Speaker's Office.
John...How you doing?
Look. We've been on pretty good terms this term have we not, more or less? Let's compromise. I know you've asked for Dank's and Olson's resignations. How about I assure you Dank's removal whether by resignation or not. But Olson...or is it Olsen..damn, I hate spelling names, anyways..Jeremiah...let's cut him some slack. Rescind your request for him to resign. He's new, young, got a little carried away. Term's almost over. Let's let that go. I'll make sure he remains clean from here on in.
Quite frankly...I can't replace both...Our Assembly is half empty...is it really constructive to force an empty seat now? I'll put Liep back for Dank; but let's keep Olsen. What you say?

"Good afternoon, Per President.
"Yes, we have been on good terms. I haven't had any major problems with the way you've been doing things. But your party is becoming a cause for concern.
I'm willing to let Olsen keep his seat, as long as he stays under control.
But in my opinion, Dank can never recover from all the black marks he's racked up. Perhaps you had to defend his actions for political reasons, but I have to condemn him for more than that.
I want to talk to you a bit about next term, but first, I need to know something. Do you actually believe that Dank is innocent in all of this?

Josephus settles back; glad to see that O'Floinn is approachable.
Tough question to answer Per Speaker. Cornelius is young, aggressive, an idealist. I honestly don't think he intended to march on the GA; but he may have taken advantage of a chaotic situation. Although I was equally brash in my youth; my aggression was towards the administrations of Langley, Talbott and, um, yourself. Dank pisses me off to no end because he's waging war against me; indirectly or not.
Regarding the ECB affair....we really do not have any evidence against him one way or another. Loic has not presented me with anything concrete. But Loic has some new evidence in his hands he may be able to use. Loic tells me that with Dank's incarceration, FLEA might be able to interrogate him.
Anyways...I'm glad you're willing to go easy on Olsen. Let's monitor him. I assure you I'll keep an eye on him. I'll tell Dank to resign and if he doesn't, I'll replace him in the GA. Also, if Loic or the police or intelligence can put up a strong case against Dank...I'll give it my full support.

O'Floinn smiles at the mention of his own administration.
Yes, he is like you were. Luckily MGAs can't call for resignations anymore, eh?
Anyway, about next term. You, obivously, can't run for President again, with the constitutional term limit and all. And none of your party members can or should run. I won't insult you by detailing the reasons, you know your own party. But I don't particularly want to talk about the Presidency. To be honest, I think we both know that, short of any radical events between now and the elections, Loic is a shoe-in for the Presidency.
But I do want to know about your plans. For example, if offered a ministry, will you take it?
I also want to talk about the Speakership. Specifically, I'd like to know how you'd feel about me holding on to it.

Aye....next term? Haven't really thought about it. I have offered Loic my support should he chose to run...and it seems like he will.
Yes. I would take up a Ministry position; ALTHOUGH...I probably would like a GA seat...if we win any seats... I miss voting.
As for you as speaker? Well I certainly don't want it. I have no problem with your performance, so far. So yeah, right now, I'd say I'd support you. But as you know the Speakership is often one of those "negotiables" one tosses around when forming a Coaliton. So I can't promise you anything. Let's just say, you have handled yourself quite well.
