Your regular scheduled programing is interrupted by a quick flicker to the GNN broadcasting logo, below it is a bold writing 'Breaking News'. I young yet mature looking human male appears on your screen adjusting his tie as he realises he is on the air.
We interrupt your daily scheduled programming for a breaking news update on the NAO-NMI dispute within allied tion. It has been quite some time since both parties left to board the GE Flagship 'Iron Fist' in order to discuss and sort out matters regarding the dellalt system and also allied tion sector in general. NAO Prime Minister Deleare Enzo who has been exceptional in all diplomatic negotiations between NAO and NMI was actually the first to leave the GE Flagship and return home in other to attend to matters on their home front. President Jeff Corbin of NMI followed soon after and landed on gantari planet a few hours ago. In a brief report on the matter President Corbin made it clear that Prime Minister Deleare Enzo was very coorperative and understanding to both parties needs and this issue was resolved within a short time as most people had expected. He had also commented on the hospitality of the GE as he said and i quote, "Those guys really know how to treat their guests to an all out feast and they are very friendly. Basically i had an awesome time onboard their vessel."
President Corbin after the brief report had a more detailed interview with our Political Correspondent Jelal Wendin who has been keeping track of the company's progress and issues regarding their business. We will now show you the pre recorded interview...
Jelal Wendin: Good day President Corbin and thank you for coming for this interview sir.
Jeff Corbin: Anything for you Jelal and thanks for having me here.
Jelal Wendin: Please don't say that because i will definitely take advantage of that since you and i both my first responsibility is to the press; but unto the interview. As we are all aware by now, you have been aboard the GE flagship 'Iron Fist' which as reports indicate is orbiting Planet Gantari now that this is no longer a combat zone. Any details on all this please?
Jeff Corbin: Yes it is true. But as of now the GE Flagship is simply orbiting the planet so as to pick up the ground forces that still remain on Gantari as she prepares to head back to coruscant. The ground troops were dropped so as to ensure a ceasefire between NAO and NMI. But now that everything is settled we are all returning to business as usual.
Jelal Wendin: So does this mean that Dellalt System is now open for business and is no longer a combat zone?
Jeff Corbin: That is correct. Dellalt system is now open to all that are interested in our mining business/industry and wish to purchase minerals that haven't been transported to our contracted clients.
Jelal Wendin: What about the closed door meeting that occured onboard the flagship? Any chance we can get a few details on what happened?
Jeff Corbin: Well i guess i can shed some light on what happened but of course you and i both know i will not go into details as you wish. I had arrived right after Prime Minister Deleare Enzo and was given a tour of the ship by Rear Admiral Slicer which was simply marvelous. After that i was escorted to the conference room where Lord Von Esling and his aid Lady Zerona Corinth were awaiting our arrival. All parties were introduced including Lord Andrew Starfyre as he arrived late due to unforeseen circumstances. After all that we all got seated and started getting to know one another while dinner was served...
Jelal Wendin: Sorry to cut you there President Corbin but did you just say dinner?
Jeff Corbin: Like i said before, the GE where very hospitable and i truly wish i had come onboard under other circumstances if not i would have really let loose and enjoyed myself. It was a thing of beauty.
Jelal Wendin: I see, well then please continue.
Jeff Corbin: There isn't much else to say. During dinner we got to know each other better and i must say if the people of NAO were represented by one person to show how well mannered and polite they were PM Enzo definitely fits that profile. After dinner the conference room was cleared and we began discussing matters regarding the dispute. It was quite interesting and am glad everything worked out well for both parties. Even Lord Von Esling felt happy about it all, the man really had a way with words whenever he had something to say. After the meeting we all said our farewells and departed for our headquarters.
Jelal Wendin: Sorry but you seem to have left a lot of loopholes regarding what was actually agreed upon. Mind ellaborating on that?
Jeff Corbin: Sure i guess. Basically we retain Dellalt system as our place of business and of course some form of taxes will be paid to NAO as they are the regency government for the sector. The details on the rest of the agreement and other things i cannot divulge but it was a very succesful meeting and the treaty was beneficial to both parties.
Jelal Wendin: Well am definitely glad everything worked out fine President Corbin, and am glad to see that your back at HQ. We expect to hear of more great things from you and your company in the future as all this has been resolved. Thank you again for your time President Corbin.
Jeff Corbin: Thanks for having me Miss Wendin.
