- - - Presidential and Vice-Presidential Press Conference - - -

The President, Sam White, and the Vice-President, Adam Carver, walk out in George House's Press Room. Two podiums are arranged, with two Mathornian flags leant up behind the wall behind each podium. A wood panel can be seen separating the space behind the two podiums, which has the seal of the President of Mathorn engraved into it. The heads of the assembled press corps can be seen at the bottom of the camera shots.

The President lays a folder on the podium, as does the Vice-President. The President looks straight ahead, and begins to speak.

Sam White (President of Mathorn): "My fellow Mathornians, yesterday our nation came under attack. Two people, both of whom perished in the resulting explosions, planted and ignited several bombs, within the vicinity of Polaris' Grand Central Station, including on the Polaris Underground. It is my sad duty to announce that, overnight, the death toll from this attack has, sadly, risen by 166, to a total, as of 9 AM this morning, to 602 deaths. Sadly, this figure is still expected to rise, as 386 patients remain critically ill in incentive care units."

"The heroism of the emergency services, the police, the ambulance service and the fire brigade, should be applauded. They ran towards danger, not knowing if there was to be a second attack, or if there remained unexploded bombs. The emergency services ran towards danger, in an heroic effort to save lives. We also praise and applaud those civilians who stopped and helped those injured in the attack. It is hard to find words to express my debt, and my gratitude to the NHS. But before I come to that I want to thank every Mathornian this morning. The past few days have been extraordinarily scary, but as a community, collectively as a nation, we have come together and are even more united then ever before. These terrorists wish to divide us, and to do us harm, but their actions have led to the exact opposite of that. As a nation, we will get through this crisis, and we will come out more united and unified than ever before. I can only imagine how tough it has been, especially for the loved ones of the victims, whom have had husbands, wives, fathers, mothers, children and grandchildren cruelly taken away. This is a fight we never picked, against an enemy we still don't fully understand."

"This country's greatest asset is our National Health Service. In our nation's illustrious and expansive history, our country has risen and overcome various challenges and crises. And we shall do so again. Last night, I saw the immense pressure that that hospitals in the capital are under, when I visited St. Barnabas Hospital, where I met the most fantastic nurses, doctors, surgeons, cleaners, cooks, physios, radiographers, pharmacists and other healthcare workers of varying professions. The majority of these people remained at work overnight, well after their normal shift should have ended, indeed many staff members came into work on their day off. These people, who have the courage to put the lives of others, ahead of their own personal lives, are undoubtedly heroes. It is thanks to that courage, that devotion, that duty, and their love for others, that our NHS is unbeatable."

"Across this country, 24 hours a day, for every second, of every hour, the NHS allows us to win battles such as the one we are facing right now. We will win because the NHS is the beating heart of this country. It is the best of this country. It is unconquerable. It is powered by love. Thank you to all the incredible NHS staff, from me, and from every Mathornian."

"The Mathornian people, rightly demand answers. They demand justice. As do I. I am angry. I am sad. I am mourning. The Mathornian people are angry. They are sad. They are in mourning. Investigations are still ongoing, and these will produce answers. Let it be known, that for those responsible for this assault on our national way of life, we will find you, and we will bring you to justice - come hell, or high water. "

7:40pm, The Château de Versailles :: Diplomatic Discussions.

As evening turns to night at Versailles, many of the guests and courtiers, filled with the extravagances of food and wine, retire to their quarters for rest. Versailles is filled with whispers and faint movements and this forms the only soundtrack in the otherwise silent halls of kings, illuminated by vast fleets of lights. Whilst the dwimmer of Versailles indulgent parades of wealth begins to fade, politics at Versailles appears to never dwindle in either it’s magnitude or protean nature. After comprehending international calamities such as the recent terrorist bombings in Polaris, the Mathornian ambassador to the Court of St. Louis, Nigel Dickens has been invited to an evening's meeting/after dinner coffee with Monsieur de Launay, Liaison to the Mathornian Embassy at Versailles.

Mr. Dickens, a man of respectable yet almost phlegmatic disposition is amongst ministers and officers of the crown favoured for his demeanor and professionalism, his behaviour at Versailles is respectful and he is considered one of the most well behaved of the foreign guests.

As Mr Dickens enters one of the many anterooms at Versailles he is greeted by a Servant dressed in the king’s livery, the man looks like he’s from the 18th century with his his full-skirted knee-length tight necked coat, ornately decorated in royal blue woollen fabric with crimson and white braid, white silk gloves, knee breeches and a red waistcoat. His legs with red silk stockings and leather shoes. Atop his head, a white high top wig with single curls as well as a blue silk bow tied at the back. The servant stops Mr. Dickens, before knocking 3 times on the tall ornate baroque doors glistening with gold accents, a faint ‘Oui’ can be heard from the other side of the door. The servant, then stands to one side out of Mr. Dickens way and opens the door towards himself allowing Dickens passage.

Mr Dickens enters and the smell of coffee fills his senses, within the room there’s plenty of ornate furniture in cyan blue in Louis XIV style baroque, meticulously kept and positioned in the middle of the room where a table, also baroque, sits with coffee cups with saucers and silver sugar pots. Three gentlemen appear to be lounging, laughing and enjoying coffee as they discuss recent events. They appear to be dressed in more modern suits of the 21st century.

A servant from within, makes a short bow, and announces to the gentleman the name of the newly inhabiting face:

Servant: “Your Grace, Messieurs, Monsieur Dickens, Mathornian Ambassador to His Majesty’s Court.”

The Marquis de Launay, rises and nods in respect of the newly welcomed guest.

Launay: “Peters, make our esteemed guest some coffee.”

The servant leaves the room briefly to prepare Mr. Dickens his coffee.

Dickens: “I thank Your Grace’s hospitality.”

Launay: “My pleasure. Monsieur Dickens, these are my friends, Monsieur Henri Necker, Director of the Royal Bank of France and Monsieur Xavier Gouin Third Estate representative for the Bailliage of Meaux.

Dickens: *Greets both* “Messieurs.”

The men acknowledging the Ambassador, briefly greet the man and take their leave after once more nodding to the Marquis before exiting.

Launay: “Anyway, enough of these Parisian pleasantries, we have business to attend to Monsieur.”

Dickens: Indeed we do Your Grace. A crisis is brewing in Europe once more with a provocative alliance made as a result of your government’s signing of the Treaty of Loch Garman. Our government is worried that the power of Europe might once again be displaced with the immediate effect of war, something that my government wishes to avoid at any cost.”

A servant comes with an ornate carafe and pours coffee into Dickens cup as he speaks.

Launay: “I wish for you to convey to the government in Polaris that this ministry’s immediate wish is to remain peaceful at all costs. With this I received this letter today from the Foreign Office which reads the official condemnation of whoever bombed the capital and caused the countless suffering of your people. Furthermore, I am authorised by my sovereign to convey this government's wish for a free trade zone between France and Mathorn to enhance relations and improve our economic cooperation.“

Dickens: “This is a most compelling suggestion Your Grace, I thank you and will return my government's decision with due punctuality.”

Launay: “I am glad you think so.”

The Marquis rises with his cup and saucer with a dismayed look on his face, walking over to the servant, he whispers into his ear, the servant promptly leaves.

Launay: “There is still an issue yet to be resolved Monsieur.”

Dickens: “Your Grace?”

Launay: “We need assurances that any military alliance with Nogodia is but conjecture, for those warmongering and uncivilised peoples continue to threaten the stability of Europe. I think you and I agree that should never happen.”

Dickens: “I will convey this message to my government and return promptly with an answer. My own personal wishes must not cloud my professional stance, however I too view the situation with trepidation."

As the night wears on, talks continue, at around 1:00 am the talks end and both parties leave for the night.

(I wait for Mathorn to give their official response to these talks. Apologies for the wooden dialogue and poor descriptions, this style of RP is not my forte.)

You do border a superpower that, I imagine, with increasing inhospitality to the world and its people, would ensure the downfall of its empire located in a tundra and permafrost biome, where, arable land is near impossible to come by, which, in result would not support the historical records that this country has supported a massive military, navy, airforce, and military-industrial complex with millions of people stranded within the frozen biomes or the Ural Mountains, which, if you haven't noticed is hard to live in, and, I presume that is why there is scattered military garrisons of this superpower around the world, one in the Chicago area to where it is completely separated from the Mainland, and that this superpower is without a doubt, unrealistic, however, we live in an alternate world, where France is a little bigger, to which their opportunity has been taken and peacefully settled, where Angola is slightly more resource rich, where the History of this world doesn't mean anything.

I don't know, maybe it's just a hunch?
