When Greg sent the request for a few moments of the council's time, he was immediately granted permission. Greg left his office to attend in person, but the Prince was still on Earth and would have to attend via the holographic interface.

Most of the council did not immediately see the significance of the people's actions, or what it could mean. Greg called on several of the now allied Generals and Admirals from Earth to testify on the issue. However, one of the Chinese Generals believed that using some of the already trained soldiers from Earth to go out to these groups and attempt to train them in how to survive this new battlefield, arming and armoring the people might not be that bad of an idea. The people wanted to take a more active role in their own defense and it was becoming more obvious every day that the Rangers needed all the help they could get. This would be an ideal way to get it.

The suggestion was a good one, but the only problem was that they would have to devote half of the existing force to training the population. Just as the decision to proceed was made, Abraxis interrupted the meeting with a live broadcast from CNN headquarters in Atlanta Georgia, in the United States.

A two-dimensional image of the CNN commentator took form in the council chamber. "…a live report from Jessica Mathews in Nevada, Jessica? Can are you there?"

"Yes I am Brent, we are told the President of the United States will be addressing us shortly. Earlier today, we heard a rumor that the administration will be relocating the Capitol here as it is more easily defended against seditionist forces within the United States. Although we have seen several massive construction projects started out here, we have yet to confirm if one of them is going to be the new United States Capitol building.

"We can see the press secretary is now approaching the podium, the president should be here shortly," Ms. Mathews replied.

"Ladies and Gentlemen of the press, as is usual, please hold your questions until after the announcements are finished. We will also be issuing written instructions as to the new protocols for press conferences immediately after this meeting. Failure to comply with those protocols will result in exclusion from future press events." He paused and smiled broadly. "Ladies and Gentlemen of the press and of the world, it is my distinct and very great honor to introduce to you, your newly elected Emperor of the Free Terran Republic, Emperor Daniel the First." The man stepped back and to the side before bowing deeply at the waist. The press corp was so shocked at the announcement that no one had time to react. Before the former United States President stepped up to the podium wearing an almost gaudy gold and the purple robe.

"As We have taken you by surprise today, We will forgive your rudeness. Be seated as We have several proclamations to make." The man paused while the assembled reporters took their chairs.
