The Story-Teller
The time was 13:46 Standard Multi-Galactic Time. The Redeelian Imperial Delegation was here, as well as the Human Republic Negotiators. The people here were of different roles, some were here to mediate, to help both sides come to a conclusion. Some were here to support their respective nations. Some were here for other reasons. Some still came from the lands being discussed, despite Redeelian
Empire 'discouragement'. The whole idea of this meeting was to discuss a very specific Solar System. This Solar System was highly valued, and had been fought over for the entirety of the war thus far.
It was located on the outskirts of a Satellite Galaxy under Imperial control, and it had many, many valuable resources. Ruins of Fleets were scattered across its battlefields, and many rotting soldiers littered the lands as well. The Imperial Delegation wanted to make sure they could keep as much of the Solar System as possible, while the Republic Negotiators wanted to ensure the Solar System fell into the hands of the Human Republic. The mediators were generally natives of the Solar System. All sides had an ax to grind here. Nobody planned on giving any ground or leverage, but in the end somebody had to.
The Delegation Representatives and Negotiator Representatives were all here now, and they stood beside their chairs at the meeting. The main mediator then spoke. "Redeelian Empire Delegation Representatives, Human Republic Negotiator Representatives, and lesser mediators, please take your seats." No soldiers of either side were here today, but fear and nervousness was in the air, as would be normal in a meeting such as this. Nobody admitted it, but everyone had a hold-out weapon here, even though they gave up their more deadly weapons at the door. The meeting was now about to commence.
The doors closed, and a recording device began to record, so that the terms of this meeting could be verified as true. The main mediator then spoke. "The first thing on the list to discuss is the Planet of Gogarick. This planet has valuable resources and many ship-yards." He waited a few moments then spoke once more. "The Human Republic Negotiators will be the first ones to speak." The entire population of people at the meeting waited for the first person to speak. This meeting would almost certainly be a long one, and it would be hard on all sides taking part, nobody that was here was ready to lose.
