The lights are dimmed. All attention is turned on the holographic projection at the center of the room. Profit margin projections, employment rates and all manners of statistics are presented to the ruling body of the Vrusk... The projection ends... Heavy silence fills the room.Head Accountant of the Vrusk Trade Authority : Once again this year overall profit margin for the Vrusk Trade Authority has declined by 00,05%. Galactic wide profit margin for the VTA is at 1,67%. Despite all the measures we put in place in the last five years we predict that for the first time since we joined the Galactic Concord the profit margin of the VTA will fall to levels below our membership.Cries hate and despair erupt from the assembly.Head Accountant of the Vrusk Trade Authority : We have known for a decade that these times were coming. It would appears the other races are getting better at producing goods. We have fought them to the letter of the law at the Galactic Concord Trade Tribunal but we were defeated on all the charges. This was to be expected also. Unrest his very high in the Vrusk population. They can feel it. Our statisticians predict that we cannot cut back anymore on salaries or benefits. We risk civil war. Only one course of action remains if we want to regain our share of the galactic market. We must somehow destabilize the Galactic Concord.I have the tool !All attention turns to the President for Life of House Tjik_Vrass. To speak out of turn is a grave offense. Two security guards start walking towards PFL Izrl Tjik_Vrass.Head Accountant of the Vrusk Trade Authority : Let him speak!PFL Izrl Tjik_Vrass : I have the tool we need. House Tjik_Vrass has been preparing for such an outcome for the last 3 years. Not that we did not have faith in our beloved Head Accountant! The numbers don't lie. We all knew that these times we coming. Some of us choose to ignore the warning signs. The Head Accountant did the best he could with his limited power. In the end, we must act. We must destabilize the Galactic Concord. I call my plan Rise of the Kinori...</blockquote>
