6 Zechyr, 1600
Another day, another round of protests. The same pattern, the same people. Clashes between protesters and police were a regular occurrence at this point, and things showed now signs of slowing down.
It was time for the Kolhari Advancement Party to make a decision.
A Party Commission was called of all high-ranking members of the party. The time for a final decision to be made was now. Would there be negotiations, or would there be a crackdown?
The debate raged on for the entire day, heated words were thrown by everyone involved. It wasn't going to be an easy choice, but it was also a choice that was starting to show clear divides in the Kolhari Advancement Party. The time came for a final vote on the matter, and the results were tallied.
With all the votes except for Kurn's counted, it was an even split between those favoring a crackdown and those wanting negotiations. When Kurn heard the results, he cast his own vote.
"I, respectfully, must cast my vote in favor of negotiating with these demonstrators. The last time we cracked down on demonstrators with military force, it did not end well. We must not repeat the mistakes of the past."

A single police officer came to the protest sight, holding a large megaphone rather than any weapons. His armband clearly marked him as the political officer, and it was a sight that caught the protesters off guard. He brought the megaphone to his mouth and began reading off of a letter.
"The Party has decided that, while this demonstration is unlawful, there are concerns that must be addressed in a peaceful manner. As such, we kindly request that you send three representatives to meet with representatives of our own so that we may better find a way forward. Should you accept, those three representatives should present themselves in this exact spot in exactly 48 hours. Our representatives will meet you, and we will attempt to find a way to resolve this peacefully."
The protesters were caught off guard, none had expected this. But it was progress. Or was it a trap? The possibility of a trap was something protesters were very concerned about, but eventually and with the approval of the protesters, 3 volunteers were chosen to speak to the government in exactly 2 days time.
