With the official signing of the NCR-Legion Armistice, copies of the proclamation were quickly drafted up and delivered to all corners of Caesar's empire. Likewise, radio communications and messages were frantically sent to Legion commanders and delivered directly into the hands of the Midwestern ambassador. It read simply:

[i]By order of Caesar Lucius, Imperator of The Legion,

All hostile action against the New California Republic is to halt immediately. Any who violate this order will be punished with the lash and the cross. Maintain defensive positions.[/i]

The message had been disseminated quickly, and soon Titus himself had received a copy of it all the way in Vegas. The orders were clear, and Caesar's word was law.

"I request the floor once more," Titus said, raising a hand, "All military actions between the NCR and Legion have been halted. A state of armistice has been declared by General Shu and Caesar. Delegates, with this turn of events I propose we adjourn this meeting and return home to our respective states. Furthermore, I propose that we reconvene in one months time to negotiate the full and lasting peace terms that will ensure stability in the West. If there are no objections....I will take my leave."
