  "...And on top of that, the Consortium is getting richer! Your Majesty, what is your plan to cancel out this wealth and backing the new colonies are going to provide for the Consortium in the long run? Is it a secret?"
<span class="mu-b">"Enough! Hold your tongues. I have an announcement to make."</span>
You put on a face of cool and collected, using your public speaking skills, but you're still sweating. You're going to need to pull out something good now.
Given the long standing issues so far in your reign, your colonization efforts, and your seeming cohesion with an enemy nation, you're being criticized a fair bit. You need to say or do something that will smooth things over, and preferably, let you work on your secret project. What do you say?
>This has all been a test (Lose all special project progress, AI cycles no longer grant bonus)
>We'll slow the colonization until we stabilize. (Lost -5% Habitation progress, Growth rate set to 0% for now)
>Make a Vow to fix the problems (Gain bonus action next minigame)
>The Consortium is vital to our expansion (Adopt Credit fully, more Consortium control)
>Let those who criticize be silent!
>We will dip into the emergency funds (Expensive)
>Trust me. (Reign will end in disgrace if goals not met)
