"Perhaps a solution to Seaforthian concerns of a stacked referendum could be solved via a cut-off date; those who entered Troyes after a mutually agreed upon date would be ineligible to take part in the referendum. It's clear that there are many concerns that have to be taken into consideration to ensure a fair path forward for all involved parties, and this is one measure that may be employed to ensure that, say on the day of the referendum Troyes suddenly has 1,000 new residents who sway the results in a manner which would not have transpired otherwise."

"I am of course understanding of priorities," Evanthe continued, "and as things presently stand the Rokkenjiman stance was made clear with our ADSN partners; "While Rokkenjima will continue to support the path toward a reunification between Troyes and Marseilles we will not turn our back on our treaty partners, nor will we set aside international norms and standards to reach the end of that path....Rokkenjima holds ties to Seaforth above and beyond the ADSN and, where we've given our word to defend those we've shed blood alongside, we will uphold that commitment if it is requested upon us by the Seaforthians." It is the hope of the First Empire that we won't see foolish actions lead to unfortunate consequences. That being stated, we should develop a path toward a workable referendum which addresses the concerns presented and ensures that the voice of Troyes is not hijacked to further the aims of those outside the city."

"I am confident that this is well within our means to accomplish."

Andrew had very clearly outlined the two decisions he was willing to accept, he was though not surprised by Serenity trying to present other ideas but ultimately it was as though neither of them had truly listened to him, rather it seemed they both had their list of talking points they'd pre-prepared and that was that. He sat himself down and took a deep breath. "I'm afraid I'm not willing to allow Seaforth to come out of this empty handed. This is not, as I explained, about keeping the city, if I get concessions such as keeping the base access and the trade arrangement then they can have the city. Its clear that a referendum is stacked against us, as we opened the city to freely allow anyone in then of course its filled to the gills from citizens of Marseille. In your scenario's we're coming away with nothing and thats 100% certain. My way we can still potentially come away with something. Both your nations have claimed that you're our ally therefore I would hope that I can count on your support regarding our nations interests. Now we've got aircraft preparing to go in, members of the Bracorina Regiment will be onboard to reinforce the garrison, meanwhile we'll begin evacuating families. I expect that you will be supportive of this measure?" He asked before turning to Evanthe.

"We can speak of family matters once I've more time on my plate. At the moment you'll understand my priorities are focused on this matter in Troyes."

McKenna was pleased at the lack of fanfare surrounding this visit, he dreaded dealing with the press and preferred to keep things simple and to the point. The ride to Vila Mulkhaz was calming and he took some time to observe and take in the sights and sounds of the nation he was visiting, details that could often times provide nuances which could prove to be useful. He would offer a firm handshake to Minister Lasha, "I believe we share the same hopes," he said with a smile, "it is certainly the hopes of the Empress we may put such unpleasantness behind us, mutually." Upon being welcomed by the Prime Minister McKenna offered a respectful bow, "Thank you, Respected Minister," he replied as Rokkenjimans traditionally did when dealing with an elected official such as Brdzeni Kvirkvelia.

"I hope for the same," McKenna would respond, awaiting the translator, "now then let us discuss how Abstergo kicked this all off initially, and how we may move beyond that challenge. You do understand that Rokkenjiman privacy laws extend far beyond those of the state you represent, as such the actions you accused Abstergo of are, in fact, invalid? There are those on the mainland who are opposed to Abstego but it's not because they're a privacy concern, so let's boil that down to what it is," McKenna continued. "You can't exploit them as you do your native systems, so the foreign target is the easiest in your view. Yet that foreign target is protected beyond your means so you do all you can do to exclude them, force them out of your market? You couldn't crack the code so you want to use laws to have your way in, but in the case of Abstergo Rokkenjiman law trumps your own, so here we are."

McKenna took pause before continuing, "You won't find a back door with Abstergo, not one that will let you in easily, and as we perfect the SiPh chips your odds dwindle ever closer toward zero. As we erode your cyber capacity against us, tell me what advantages you hold to stop Rokkenjimna from dominating your cyber space operations moving into the future? What benefit is there for Rokkenjiman sources offering concessions in that light?" I think we'll both find there are few and," he continued, "you'll find the cost of meeting our standards are far less than Rokkenjiman firms removing protections to confirm with yours. So what do you say," McKenna paused again, "do we handicap Rokkenjima's protections of consumers or do we allow the Diet to vote in favour of those freedoms being eroded?"
