Senators, consider the opportunitiesfor the Empire.
:01:39
At last the destinies of the planetsRomulus and Remus will be united.
:01:44
Shinzon of Remus offers us a chance tomake ourselves
:01:47
stronger than ever.
:01:49
It would be madness to reject it.
:01:52
I beg you not to let prejudice or politicsinterfere with this alliance.
:01:58
By joining Shinzon's forces with ours,not even the Federation
:02:02
- will be able to stand in our way...- Enough!
:02:05
The decision is made. The militarydoes not dictate policy on Romulus.
:02:11
The Senate has consideredShinzon's proposal and rejected it.
:02:15
He and his followers will be met withforce and sent back to their black rock!
:02:21
- Do I make myself clear?- Yes, sir.
:02:36
Praetor, I have an appointmentwith the Tholian ambassador.
:02:41
Of course.
:02:45
Senators, are there any otherswho wish to speak?
:02:49
Then I call for a vote on the motion toopen trade negotiations with Celes LL.
:02:54
The Reman mines have notbeen filling their quotas.
:02:58
Consider the trade committee's findings.
