Iados, Galeaen S.R.
The Socialist Union
A special meeting of the Council of Commissars was convened. The topic: Petrea and the Civrai Crisis.
The current Premier Commissar, otherwise known as the Premier of the Socialist Union, was Gregor Me'Tun, a Galeaen. He was the second Premier to be chosen since the death of Anton. It was a period of significant transition for the Socialist Union, as De-Antonism was in full force across the UEFSR. Me'Tun was merely continuing the process begun by his predecessor, who finished Anton's final term.
It was an odd thing, tearing down nearly thirty years of government policy and effort, but it was for the best. Anton had been a relic -- paranoid and violent. The country had bled for him, and the time had come to cauterize the wounds and begin to heal. While in office, he had controlled the government with an apparent vice grip, and there were whispers of whether or not said grip could last even after he died. The truth was, ironically, that the loyalty nearly dried up completely when he drew his last breath, and government officials, even up to the Commissars themselves, who had been preaching loyalty to the "Great Premier" only days before had completely abandoned Antonism in short order. It was as if the patriarch had died and now the children were about cleaning his house in order to sell it -- but to whom and to what end was yet unknown.
With all this in mind, the Socialist Union had slacked somewhat in it's international attentions. With so much inward focus it was difficult to notice what happened abroad. Still, the time had come to do something about Petrea. Being so close by, it was becoming apparent that something had to be done to address the issues at hand.
The Commissars debated for hours. Various ideas and strategies were out forth. Finally, a clandestine operation was decided on, for the time being. The Socialist Union needed more intelligence upon which to make a decision. There was an opportunity here, to be sure, but it was not yet time to act. Sleeper agents in Petrea were to be activated, in order to get a better idea of the lay of the land -- from the inside. Contacts within the Petrean Communist Party were to be gently communicated with as well.
Who knew what would happen?
