Although the recent report on the Hudson System by Ageira consists of preliminary observations without follow-up or review, the Republic is treating this information with the utmost importance due to the potential for catastrophe. We will spare no expense in backing the brightest minds amongst us, lest we forget the terrible price paid during the Texas Incident.
Due to this extraordinary event, the Republic of Liberty hereby extends an offer of a ceasefire while this threat is being analyzed and until a solution has been found. The implications of this anomaly are so broad and so severe that we must put aside our differences and work together to mitigate this threat. Let us join in collaboration by each pledging to supply both the materials and manpower necessary to avert a potential disaster that transcends political ideologies and boundaries. The damage to the gates and resulting threat may have been brought about by conflict between our Houses, but we implore the members of the Rheinland Bundestag to consider the potential danger to all of our people.
- Boris Livingstone, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs
