Allies? Assuming that it won't negatively impact trades in the future, yes.

@Fractured

*smirks* see... I knew I could trust you.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

That depends on what the generals say.

@Fractured

Fair... but as far as assessing the situation, if you knew you had capable contacts, regardless of their affiliation to the EDB, would you reach out to them? Would you ask them for their help?

I don't know. If you expect me to participate in combat, you're crazy.

@Fractured

Nonono, you misunderstand. You have no combat training, that's suicide. Even with the combat training, it wouldn't be enough. What would you do, assuming you were presented with that plate? Lets say the enemy is on apporach, but havent made it to the planet. What is your first move?

There's no chance. I'm a politician, not a soldier.

@Fractured

Yet somehow, by some means, I think you're a perfect fit for the position. Why do you think that is?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

It's not some easy thing to do. There's a lot to it.

@Fractured

Of course, there is. But you can't expect someone, even a career polotician, to be great at the job right out of the gate. There's so many layers of complexity between their job and the Vice President that it'd be almost criminal to compare the two and expect immediate excellence. The only reason that I have as much faith in you doing my 'job' is that I've seen you handle the paperwork and the press with a flair, always one step ahead of them. But, yet again, that is but one, small aspect of my position. I'm not on vacation every time I dissapear. Youd be able to locate me if so. I'm dealing with threats that can eliminate the entirety of the EDB singlehandedly with minimal effort on a daily basis.. I do it for you. I do it for our friends in the Council. I do it for the free peoples of the Existential Democratic Bureau.
It's my duty. My question is, do you think that right now, this very instance, that you could handle a threat of that magnitude?

*Crosses my arms*
I don't think there's anybody I'd trust for that.

@Fractured

Oh?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

That doesn't necessarily translate to skill in this office.

@Fractured

I know that, but her work ethic is impeccable. Given she could handle the paperwork and press, amongst other important things, she could be a great ally.

* walks in, and sits down*

Tell me, who would you trust to take your spot?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

Such as?

@Fractured

Well, to reveal one of those names could be considered sabotaging the election, but folks like Coheed, Joy, our agriculture lead Kyo. Did you know that last week she secured the aid of 5,000 freight ships to aid a post-war outer rim planet recieve food and clean water? She was able to do in 1 week what wouldve took the average Aid Response Team nearly 2 weeks. Incredible work.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

Exactly. A bird in the hand, as they say.

@Fractured

Indeed. Well, if the next in line doesn't fit your fancy, you always have the ability to hold an election for the empty seat. Fancy perk of being the president of the EDB. Never had to use it myself, you were always the one I'd choose time and time again. You and a very select few others have the future and best interests of the EDB in mind.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

Meaning someone else would have to chair the Council in my place.

@Fractured

That would fall to the runner-up to the position, assuming you achieved the seat.
