Once again, Kayd reads out the result of the vote.
KAYD: The Circle has decided to accept the armistice with the Colonial Fleet.
LORRI: There is one thing that concerns me with associating with the Colonial Fleet, though- what about the Klingon Empire and the Federation? The OSN is allies with both, but last I heard they considered the Branded Lady and her raiders as wanted criminals.
BRANDED LADY: Mysti and I have talked with Captain Sadia Cynis of the Klingon Defense Force. I believe that name is familiar to many of you. The KDF is only intervening in assistance of the OSN and in response to direct raids against them, and have agreed to a ceasefire as long as we don't attack you or them first, and I have no intentions of provoking the Empire. As for the Federation, I have a plan for that.
TAYRI: A plan?
BRANDED LADY: Don't worry, I won't ruin your diplomatic relations. I haven't come this far without learning how to play nice every once in a while. But I don't suppose my word is good enough for you.
DELANDRIA: Eisa, I presume you will be working with the Branded Lady's people to draft a formal document of this armistice?
EISA: I will make any act against our allies a term of violation.
DELANDRIA: Anything else?
The rest of the Tabadis exchange glances again before either shaking their heads or remaining silent. Emeria sits quietly in her seat, staring at her screen and avoiding Delandria's gaze towards her.
DELANDRIA: Very well. This meeting is adjourned. The Circle will reconvene next time to revise the official documents and determine how the revelation of Tabadi Emeria's deception will be handled.
BRANDED LADY: I will await your decisions, Tabadis.
The Branded Lady gives a curt bow and turns, heading out of the Council Chamber. The members of the Circle share one more round of glances before standing and leaving as well, some on their own while others visibly gravitate towards fellow Tabadis as they gather into smaller groups to continue their discussions outside the meeting.
