=== Winters Appoints Future Cabinet Members === | |||
[[File:Federal Press Conference.png|600px|centre]] | |||
President-elect [[Felicia Winters]] has officially selected new heads for each executive department of the [[Federation|Federal government]]. | |||
She announced her choices during a session of [[Federal Congress|Congress]], where she gave a short speech about her upcoming presidency. This was followed by a similar statement from [[Isolde Rochester]], who will serve as Winters’s vice president. | |||
[[Sofia Trevino]], political journalist for The [[Federal Times]], reported: | |||
“''With these appointments, Felicia Winters is laying the foundations on which to build a new Federal government. Long-serving figures in the Liberal Party are finally being rewarded with key positions in the upcoming administration''.” | |||
“''One notable loyalist is [[Congressman]] [[Bai Zheng]], who will be Secretary for Security. She is already well-known for opposing the [[Proactive Detection Bureau]], and will undoubtedly take pleasure in overseeing the surveillance unit’s closure, as per Winters’s campaign promise''.” | |||
“''Congressman [[Kristine Lasky]] is another familiar name. Her celebrated role in creating the [[Cornelius-Lasky Convention]], which enables superpowers to collaborate during emergencies, makes her a solid choice for Secretary of State''.” | |||
“''There are a few fresher faces among the forthcoming Cabinet. The new Grand Attorney will be [[Pierre-Marc Pelletier]], a former director of the Federal Attorney’s Office. And the Secretary for Defence will be Congressman Conn Montgomery, who will have to navigate demands from a Federal Navy accustomed to Zachary Hudson’s generous military budgets''.” | |||
In related news, planning is underway for Felicia Winters’s inauguration ceremony to take place in mid-February. President [[Zachary Hudson|Hudson]]’s office has confirmed that handover procedures are well advanced, with all government agencies and departments preparing for the Federation’s new leadership. | |||

=== Guardian Deliveries Accelerate Anti-Titan Project === | |||

'''*Pilots’ Federation ALERT*''' | |||
Shipments of [[Guardian Relic|Guardian relics]] and [[Unclassified Relic|Unclassified relics]] have boosted hopes of developing a [[Guardian Nanite Torpedo Pylon|weapon]] against the [[Thargoid Titan|Thargoid Titans]]. | |||
The [[Aegis]]-led initiative gathered supplies of the crystalline relics left behind by the [[Guardian]] species, as well as the Unclassified relics that result when they interface with [[Thargoid Surface Site|Thargoid surface sites]]. | |||
These were requested to support a project based on new theories expounded by the [[Engineers|engineer]] [[Ram Tah]], considered the leading expert on Guardian history and technology. | |||
[[Aden Tanner]], who works as an anti-xeno strategist for Aegis, made a brief comment to [[Vox Galactica]]: | |||
“''As always, we’re grateful to every pilot who took part to support Aegis. I don’t mind sharing that Ram Tah is delighted, and is currently refining his theory with the aid of specialists from all three superpowers''.” | |||
“''We hope to reveal more details very soon, but at this point it’s worth managing expectations around the proposed anti-Titan weapon. It remains true that our existing armaments are incapable of inflicting damage on Thargoid motherships. But if Ram Tah is correct, we may be able to reveal certain vulnerabilities by exploiting a newly discovered aspect of Guardian technology''.” | |||
A spokesperson from Aegis also revealed that [[Ishmael Palin|Professor Palin]] is supporting Ram Tah’s research, stating: “''The most prominent engineers of our age are once again working together to defend humanity against the Thargoid threat''.” | |||
Aegis has confirmed that all participants in the delivery campaign can now collect their rewards from Felice Dock in the [[Meene]] system. | |||
