Aftermath and Consequence "The aftermath of war is not necessarily peace nor is the aftermath guaranteed to be the desired result of any of the parties involved in war. One man's peace, one man's `vision' of peace, is not the same as another man envisions it. We must remember, be we the vanquished or the victorious, soldier or civilian, that not everyone will be satisfied with the outcome. To this effect we should… " Milliardo tuned out, not interested in the reworded speech that opened the first session of the ESUN's House of Representatives. Each year the Speaker of the House made a speech spouting the virtues of peace, the prosperity it would being and the need to work at maintaining that peace. The `tolerance is vital to continued peace' would be in the next five minute section of the twenty minute opening address and he wondered how many speech writers they employed to have the speech sound different each year. It was, essentially, the `same old same old' after all. "Can I toss a sink bomb? That would liven the place up." He knew he smirked, but did manage to keep it to a stretching of the lips he hoped would not be misinterpreted. Maxwell was bored. The comment had been low enough not to carry to the bodyguards lining the private `box' assigned to the newly designated Sovereign Territory of Sanc. Relena, with Heero on her left, sat to his left, Pagan standing just to the rear between he and Relena. Chang sat to his right with Duo standing between them, resplendent in his suit as he stood at attention. Hunter had requested Duo assist in guarding the King for this opening ceremony. Before they returned to Sanc he would take up his role as King's Engineer for a round of discussions. Chang was at this time The Chang, though he too was working for Hunter to increase the level of security for the royal party. He was a little stunned to find himself in Luxemburg with a written guarantee he would be graced with full diplomatic immunity. He was expected to address the Council on the fourth day and he was toying with the idea of conveniently developing some exotic disease that was highly contagious and would necessitate he stay in isolation for the duration of their stay in the city. Somehow he doubted he would be allowed to get away with that. Tomorrow's afternoon session would see Relena officially resign her position and the next day, the morning session would see her take the starring role as the Princess Royal of Sanc, Peace Ambassador. Every action taken held consequences. In the aftermath of the action, even if that action was choosing NOT to take action, there were consequences that would be obvious and others that would not be immediately apparent. He wondered at the exact consequences her shedding the role the ESUN had placed her in for so many years would be. ~ * ~ |
