Chapter 50 - Important People[]
The Triad
Tharkad System
Lyran Commonwealth
January, 3098
[Estates General floor...]
On a normal day's session, maybe 20% of the legislature of the Lyran Commonwealth even bothered to show up.
This week has thusly consisted of anything BUT normal days. That the Archon would demand a full session? In the middle of a CRISIS?
Almost unheard of outside a declaration of war.
Andrew mounted the Dais, and looked at the seats.
"Mister Speaker? I see we may have to wait until tomorrow." he said. Just a count of delegates present was under sixty percent of the whole body.
"Your Highness?"
"I asked for a full session. There are more than one hundred and..." he waved a finger in a counting motion. "Forty seats empty. This is not a full session. It can wait until tomorrow." He stepped down, and walked out of the chamber.
