Gamboa: That day shall come soon, Axeholder. And when it does, we shall remember who stood beside us.
Agana: Our membership is settled, we should move to the main topic, the unrest in the city.
Guret: The “unrest” is to demand our Axeholder do what we elected her to do. Uphold the Great Peace and bring the murderer to justice.
Norodom: You speak of justice while you steal from hard-working traders? While your people threaten to burn down the city.
Kaori: A riot is the language of the unheard. The people of Neikotan would not seek their own justice if it was provided to them.
Gamboa: The overseers work us like animals. Rogini’s murder is the fruit of that abuse.
Norodom: The overseers ensure your tribes pay your tribute. The Axeholder was gracious enough to let you pay in labor and you repay her by bucking at every instance.
Guret: You took people raised in fields of grass and raging waters and have them backing bricks in the sun. What did you expect?
Norodom: For tribes to honor their commitment.
“If I may, there are other ways to serve The Great Peace. As Gamboa said, I proposed that the Muli serve by managing the river and its trade. We don’t have to choose between The Great Peace and the people it serves."
Norodom: The city is growing. It will be the heart of a new nation. The bickering tribes melted down into one glorious testament to The Island’s will. Where anyone from any tribe can work hard and make something for themselves. We can’t have that if people bring the old tribal warfare back to it.
Agana: I swore to uphold The Great Peace. This uprising does threaten that.
Guret: Ridiculous. Even your kin knows who the true violator is. The Captain promised to bring this killer to justice, are you saying he would hold that Ax better than you do now?
Eko turns to you and Norodom follows his gaze.
What do you say?
>The Axeholder is honor-bound to bring this killer to justice.>We must overhaul the tribute system.>The overseers need to be stopped.
