Malcolm saw the soldiers and leaders of OZ return to the meeting hall and prepared his speech for the decision of the meeting. He stood presenting, “Members of the Earth Sphere Parliament, members of the new OZ organization. We have now arrived to several conclusions in response to the events of today. The Earth Sphere has been able to avoid the edge of death from its enemies thanks to the valiant efforts of the men and women who chose in the face of many conflicting factors to serve their nation. The only regret we have now is what we must subject the new OZ to.” He hesitated before he listed the conditions that had been decided earlier. “As of this meeting we now have the following we shall now implement the following motions on how OZ shall operate. The first motion is that the leaders of OZ are responsible for managing all resources and shall not make any attempts to meet or exceed that of the main government. OZ is requested from this point on to act as an independent body in service to the Earth Sphere United Nations but it will not be open with its affiliation and avoid all possible attempts at communication with the common Earth populace. We hope to find further progress in the line of seeing OZ maintain its place.” Malcolm tried not to see contact with any of the OZ leaders while he listed the two conditions and made his way towards the final decision of today. “The final decision we have made is in relation to our relations with the Falson Coalition. We have concluded Nathaniel Falson is in fact dead. Once the Coalition has received this news, there is a chance we shall come under scrutiny. We can only hope that with new leadership we shall have a chance of bringing back the peace talks to end this conflict. This may be our first chance for some form of peace in many years to come. We must now take this opportunity with these factors in mind, we must seize this chance at declaring a ceasefire with the Coalition.” There was a solemn applause among the House when Malcolm finished the speech. Relena nodded to the progress that had been made today. The heavy price that had to be paid was one of the most regrettable things she would ever have to live with but it was a chance to see the war ending soon. Mercurio saw his parents from across the room with their appreciation for the decision and knew that there was a chance for this conflict to end. He had committed himself to this war with the intention of seeing his mother have a chance at vindication. Perhaps now his mission was complete. Edward was among the audience to applaud Malcolm’s ruling while he commented to himself, “So it appears that they are now prepared for a beginning. Perhaps this OZ will clear its name.” He questioned his fate when he lent a look towards Till when he pondered, “Can you demonstrate the wisdom to show that my information is necessary then?” With the long amount of time Oleg had forced himself to embrace the remains of the Anaconda, he seemed to lose almost all senses except for his grip. Both hunger and sleepiness were threatening to overtake him even after such a battle but he was capable of maintaining his willpower. The only thoughts lingering in his mind were the final moments battling the Sandesgeist. He had lost the most powerful machine he ever piloted while being forced to endure this long trip. He rubbed his eyes with his hand while he tried to determine his destination wondering, “… Where did we end up?” “Give them the news that I must engage in my own personal mission. It is now their time to prepare for this operation’s final outcome. The executive succession shall proceed with an Interim President.” Franz instructed. He showed a graphic of the Earth slowly spinning while the small landing pods from Luna made their contact. “The Sol Thero units will be making their drop to the Earth’s surface within a matter of hours. The fate of the Parliament shall be in the hands of the military leaders. The time to decide the true leaders of humanity shall arrive.” He gave a final instruction to Klaus when he finished, “Let them know of this much for now, in three weeks’ time they will see an end to this war and the end of all conflicts to come. When you are asked for information on anything I am discussing now, answer them that you have no other information on where I will be located. It will be a matter of time now General… The Eclipse is coming.”
