Senator Osgar Godric
*Godric Bursts through the senatorial chamber door, Looking visualy worse for wear. Graying and missing his right arm, He has become a shadow of his former self*
"Sorry my fellows for being late, Ethiopia is a harsh mistress, Now, What is the subject today that has me torn from my duties in Africa?"
*As he is brought up to speed, Osgar Lightens up*
"Ah, Weather to expand or explore? Good. As you all know, Africa is a dark place, filled with all manners of scary things that go bump in the night. But even so, it's treasures are Plentiful, And in easy reach. To fully tap its riches we need to start EXPLORATION expiditions into africa, setting up colonies of our people as we go. I have heard that king solomons mines lie to the south, In easy reach of our empire, With enough gold to cover the Hagia Sophia completley! There is also a matter we must see to. roughley 60 years ago, give or take, A strange ship came to us from the east. We now know this ship came from Catharia. We NEED to find this kingdom. All are under the threat of the Xenoi, and foreign the catharian's may be, We are going to need their help.
I would also like to point out that we really need to start modernising our navy. From the reports that i was told, i think we should replace our Dromons for something a bit bigger, Something like the Nemi ships of Old."
{BETRAYAL}
{OF THE WORST KIND}
{I'LL HAVE YOUR BLOODY HEAD}
{On a serious note, did you switch to the Blues? If you haven't, you should. The Reds won't sympathize with backstabbing traitors who vote against their faction. In addition, change your signature if you are changing. Otherwise, why bother? I'll let you back in the Reds if you write Domenico a sincere apology letter in an envelope with some diamonds in it.}
