Great Satisfaction: Guess Who Made The News?

Proudly: I thought I would share this with you. I know I haven't been prominent on the board, but I think some good news for a change might go down well. Tellingly: especially given your interest in the ups and downs of the salarian issue.

With delight: It seems I have caused quite a stir at the embassy.

The Courts of Dekuuna made a statement today in support of the troubled Salarian Union, at a scheduled press conference held outside the Elcor Embassy. News of a fortuitous discovery for the elcor provided the impetus for an appeal to solidarity among the races of the Citadel.

“Warmly: The Courts of Dekuuna are pleased to announce the recent recovery of one of Dekuuna’s most significant cultural treasures” said resident diplomat, charge d'affaires Noltax. “Two years after our most devastating conflict, the congruence of citizen diligence and good fortune has restored to the elcor people the renowned Embalhoth Collection, including the Harsher Chastisement of Or-Gyclyn, one half of the deeply symbolic Pride of the Twin Cities. With pleasure: Positive confirmation of the artefact’s identity has been made, and elcor government authorities will be investigating the site of the rediscovery, on the world of Farish Vey.

Soundbite: An important piece of our collective culture has successfully made the long journey home”.

Currently being kept in storage on the Citadel in preparation for its transport to Dekuuna, the recovered collection was returned by Mr. Xuumo-kalashasi, a pre-war employee of the elcor government, who discovered it through chance while pursuing leads on vanished colleagues as part of a personal quest for answers. Mr. Xuumo, standing alongside Mr. Noltax, offered a statement emphasising the responsibilities of the elcor people.

“With determination: It is at times like these that we have to look at ourselves as part of a larger community, to understand that the elcor can serve not merely as an auxiliary member of the Citadel - what Francis Kitt might call a ‘spear-carrier’ - but as an inspiration to the other races. Solemn: With the recent news from Sur’Kesh, we have entered into a state of uncertainty regarding our collective long-term stability.

Proudly: Stability is the defining trait of the elcor government. It is that which has sustained us throughout this trying time of rebuilding, and the restoration of another part of our heritage will, I hope, strengthen not only the sons and daughters of Dekuuna, but allow us to demonstrate to our neighbours the virtues of perseverance and cultural self-awareness”.

With reference to another recent rediscovery, that of treasured salarian painting “The Dalatrass”, Noltax followed Xuumo’s statement with another, stressing the importance of shared virtues:

“Quietly forceful: It is imperative in this era of rediscovery and change that we acknowledge the points of similarity between our races. Art, culture, the sense of whom each of us are as a people; these are the true treasures, the incomparable prizes which so many of the galaxy’s noble denizens, warrior and civilian alike, sacrificed greatly to preserve. Firmly: As Xuumo has so correctly noted, the elcor government remains committed to rebuilding not only our own holdings but the morale of Citadel space in its entirety. The Courts would emphasise that the artefact was recovered on Farish Vey, a salarian colony. As such, we are especially interested in the unfolding situation - and the unfortunate instability - within the Union”.

Adding a personal touch in support of his government, Xuumo-kalashasi once again stressed the wider significance of the find.

“Proudly: It is fitting that in a time of renewed distress for the Citadel and its affiliates, that we are reminded of that which makes this union great. As a citizen of the elcor nation, I am proud to be a part of the strongest and most secure force for peace and prosperity that exists in this galaxy - namely the Citadel community of which Dekuuna is enthusiastically a part.

With forceful assurance: The Citadel endures, and this discovery has reaffirmed for me the importance of remembering what it is that makes us so potent a force: our sense of history, our shared pride in our heritage, our commitment to rebuild in the face of adversity.

Sincerely: I can only conclude by stating my commitment to ensuring that this discovery mean something big, not only for my beloved Dekuuna but to all of us in this trying time, from the Citadel itself to Sur’Kesh”.
