With the parliament settled TalOS began reading through the items that were to come up here today. His eyes glazed over the numerous objectives and debates that could be had. His mind focused on a single item which only caused a small bit of confusion.
He was not a fool though, knowing that this issue would be quite annoying if it was not stomped now.
+Today we will commit to the discussion of item 367, the Hierarchy Acknowledgement Debate.+ TalOS declared as he looked at his fellows with a hardened eye, +For this matter I have no immediate opinion, Fabricator Locum ADM1N was the one who brought it to my attention and as such he will present the issue and speakers.+
+Thank you Fabricator General.+ The Priest rose from his seat and had his voice projected through the numerous Vox Casters that were laid about, +I have the understanding one year, three hundred, six days ago a member of House Tollem, a Vassal of Borgius, had challenged Count Veskar of Hive World Keniter to a duel for the infringement of honor the latter had placed upon the former. This event resulted in the death of Count Veskar and the imprisonment of the Tollem as the duel was not sanctioned by me during that time.+
TalOS watched the eyes of ADM1N scout the room, searching for a sense of recognition among those who were present. What he was searching for was found, and those within the room tensed at his words.
+I have the understanding that honor and placement are grand ideas within the Federation. For it is the Machines who give us this sense of honor that cannot be crossed.+ The leader of the Legio Titanicus spoke with intimate knowledge of the matter, +Today we must realize the lines which cannot be crossed, what counts as an insult and what is a justified reason to renounce defamation. I present to the court Duke Keither of House Navaros and President-King of Hive World Lapris, Lorkell.+
Upon those words the two peoples made their way down the hall. They did not bother looking at one another, but TalOS 'taste of the air was that there was no animosity as of yet. The two were simply picked by their respective factions and as such have no reason to bicker.
Will that remain, he knows it will not. For if there was any way to gain the wroth of a Princep or a Knight it would be the matters of honor and law.
