At 7pm the Peace Force-Atlantis Meeting is officially
over. U.S. officials, Peace Force
members, and Atlanteans flooded the hall in good spirits. Adonis, Titana, and the royal couple appeared
before the crowd on the balcony, thanking everyone for attending.
“I officially call this year’s meeting to a close,” said
Adonis. “It’s not often that we all get
together like this, and I’m honored to have hosted King Morn, Queen Rosn’elia,
and their Royal Circle here today.” He
went on to generalize what was said in the meetings but gave no specifics.
King Morn gave a short speech in Atlantean to a jovial
response from his Circle and then repeated it, supposedly, in English. “I know being overland is hard on my people,”
he said, “but Adonis and the Peace Force have made our stay a welcomed
one. I thank him and all of you
overlanders for your hospitality.” He
and his wife bowed and exited the balcony.
As for what was discussed, no one was allowed to give
specifics. “These were preliminary
meetings to gather facts,” said Senator Saluzzi. “Any specific deals will be made at Congress
and the White House. But I will say that
we did gain ground, so to speak, on some trade deals.”
The Atlanteans filed back into their limousines and left
for their ship the M’ranic. Tomorrow,
they will be headed to Washington for a two-day visit with the President. A wrap-up on today’s meetings will come later
tonight.
