Eko: I am Eko of the Taya, I represent the Taya tribe and the Market owners of the city.
You smirk internally. Having two competing voices for the business interest in the city will weaken their voting block in your decisions. You see Nordom holding back a sneer as she looks at Eko.
Gamboa stands from their seat and looks directly into Agana’s eyes.
Gamboa: I am Gamboa, and I represent the Eighth Tribe!
Norodom: What?!
Eko: This is madness!
Agana: Order!
Norodom: This council is a joke!
Gamboa: The Great Peacemaker said the tribe is a servant of the people, and when that servant fails its task it is to be replaced by any other. We the people of Nakotan reject your ancient squabbles, and I have been sent here to announce our brave new world.
Neikotan is a slum of Kutha Rakyat that grew from the workers of the poor tribe who were brought over to build the city and its trade roads. A child murdered by a peacekeeper there is what led to the current uprising.
Agana: AHHHHHH!!
Agana stands up with a scream and slams the side of her ax so hard on the table it almost cracks.
Agana: I understood you were representing the Muli, not this new “Eight Tribe”
Gamboa grins at you.
Gamboa: The Muli of the old ways believe the self-proclaimed Da’tuq Adil will win the election, and let them stay in their rivers. Those of the new era have chosen me as their speaker.
“Kaori, did you know about this?”
Kaori: In Neikotan, I have seen Ponni that are closer to the Muli they are living with than their own families back home. It isn’t surprising something like this happened.
Norodom: We came here to keep our city from burning down, not to hear the rants of every wanna-be peacekeeper on The Island.
Guret: Someone who beats their wealth out of slaves shouldn't talk about peace.
Norodom: You’re lucky you’re not arrested, thug!
Agana: The next person who butts in like that finds out this isn’t for show.
She waves the ax around, you can see the bags under her bloodshot eyes.
Agana: We put it to a vote. If this... Eighth Tribe will have a seat at this table, then we can FINALLY start this.
Eko: Captain Lono has no vote, but he does have a voice. He should speak so it can inform our choices.
Eko is acting according to instructions. Letting you speak in an unknown scenario so he knows whether to follow your lead or not.
What do you suggest?
> Give the Eighth Tribe full voting power> Make Gamboa an non-voting adviser, such as yourself>Remove them from the council>Write-in
