As the senators and officers began to file out, Alicia stood before the tall paned windows of her office within the Senate Hall. Those windows offered an impressive view of the entire plaza, the parks, and the elegant government buildings of the Inner City, as well as the hundreds of embassies and consulates of the Outer City.
It was getting late, and Alicia watched as the sun slowly began to dip down below the horizon, casting brilliant pastel hues of red and gold across the darkening sky. She sighed and turned from the windows. Of the dozen or so who had been present at the meeting, only one was left.
"Madam President," said General Roper, "do you know where Admiral Onoma has been and why. . . other than what explination he gave in there a few moments ago?"
Alicia slowly walked around the carved marble desk that separated herself from the General. She looked up at his face with her mesmerizing violet eyes.
"General Roper," she finally said. "I do not know where Admiral Onoma has been, or what he has been doing, over the past two years. I know, though, that he has not done anything against the best interests of the Republic. It is his secret."
Her eyes seemed to sparkle for a moment in the dim light.
"In that way, he is much like you, General Roper, one who acts in the best interest of the Republic, but who has many secrets to hide. Much like your predecessor, General Bueller, as well, from his secrets down to his mysterious disappearance.
"General, my duty is to protect the people of the Republic and act in their best interest. I simply cannot do that if my closest advisors and my most trusted lieutenants remain silent, and carry out their actions in secret."
