"The Taiyou won't likely do anything until their Emperor has recovered." Prince commented, while Marlene nodded in agreement. "Many high level officials of the Taiyou Government were killed, or wounded during an ambush on a diplomatic mission, it's largely paralyzed the Taiyou government, and left it's administration in the hands of the Shogunate, and their youngest princess." Marlene explained, waving her hand as a hologram of Aeka Takayama flitted into view.

"The Daughter of late Emperor Nobuo Takayama, and former Admiral Kendra Shaw." Marlene said, sweeping her hand, as another photograph flitted into view, of a woman that had a lot of Taiyou features, and she was wearing a uniform that was unrecognizable, it was an Aschen uniform from before the rise of the Empire.

"The Taiyou military is massive, and it can easily fight this uprising, and assist us, it's not exactly a gambit your leadership has thought through, but that presents us with a unique opportunity." Prince said, agreeing with Halena. "Astralpolitically, the Taiyou won't lose out on their interests in this galaxy, Our alliance with them is merely one of convenience." Prince added, turning his attention to Marlene.

"Do what you must, Director. I'll do what I can with the Quorum, and the Ministry of Defense to minimize resistance, and loss of life. We'll focus our efforts on mitigating the damage to our infrastructure from Asylian strike forces."

"If there's nothing else, I'll return to Langara." The older man said, while Marlene took another bite of her food. "There's a lot of things I'm sure we can offer." Prince added.

After she finished her food, she waved her hand, and an Adjutant stepped into the room.

"Director, the stage is set, Holding room C." He reported, offering a salute.
