I'm a damsel, I'm in distress, I can handle this. Have a nice day!

[Unna Hi Chaanu]

"I say replacing the work force, because many clones may want to leave their jobs to pursue their own dreams..." Unna's thoughts trickled off to the little Sarah clone that the party had once tried so hard to teach to think for herself and do things other than clean, which then prompted her to think of the murders of the little clone and Lady Baku. "I am sorry. This prompted me to remember something that is if I importance to our discussion. Anyway, it shows initiative if we at least put some thought into solving the problems that would arise from such a change. You never know what ideas we could come up with that the chancellor may not have the time to think of."

Unna sensed Ni's confusion regarding the pregnancy announcement. "What I was trying to convey when I told you of my pregnancy was that I will have plenty of spare time spent off my feet to deal with these political agendas now. My body is essentially an incubator now, but I will be more free to use my mind."

"And wouldn't it be beautiful to allow them the freedom to pursue their own dreams? Instead of living the only way others want them to live, and doing the only thing that society expects of them?" insisted Ni, her posture loosening for a moment before she remembered herself and straightened her back again. It may have occurred to Unna and Gadeon that Ni's interest in the clone's plight went a little deeper than the surface. "All I need is fifteen minutes, maybe half an hour, with the chancellor to conduct a list of what will be needed to make this happen."

[Unna Hi Chaanu]

"Very, well," Unna said calmly. "Now, please relax. You do not need to force your body language in order to be taken seriously. To be honest, it looks very forced and will likely give the wrong impression. For some of us, that is our natural body language. It, however, just does not work for you."

Unna sat up more straight. "I would be happy to have to run your ideas by me before we go to the chancellor. In fact, I highly recommend it. It would also be beneficial for me and Gadeon to know what you plan to say so that we may help convey your proposal."

[Gar]

The Zeltron relaxes her posture and sighs with relief, rubbing the back of her neck. "My only idea is to address my concerns with the chancellor and listen to her response. My goal is to make the clones free citizens. Keeping the clones enslaved is greatly helping the OPA's armies and sympathizers, so I think this will appeal to her interests in freeing them."

[Unna Hi Chaanu]

"I feel very strongly that some practice could not hurt. Have you put any more thought into helping compose a ballet or a musical to gain the sympathy of the masses? Art is a powerful engine to drive change."

[Gar]

"No," answered Ni solidly, the edge in her tone suggesting that this was not a topic to push further. "Alright, so you want me to practice. Here it goes..." Ni clears her throat and lifts her chin, her face going blank as she says, "Miss Chancellor, thanks for meeting with me. I am here to discuss an issue that is giving the OPA a superior advantage over the Republic and, more importantly, hurting an entire race of people. This issue is well within our power to resolve, and I hope that--together--we can find a way to resolve it." Ni sighs and drops composure, asking, "How was that?"

[Unna Hi Chaanu]

Unna stood up and assumed her usual poised and erect posture. With a serious look on her face, she asked with a very serious tone, "what issue would that be?"

[Gar]

Ni's shoulders slumped when she realized this was turning into an ordeal. She looked down at Gadeon, rubbed her forehead as if shooing a headache away, then turned back to Unna and sighed, "The clone issue, Miss Chancellor. The OPA have been using this injustice in our society to their advantage. They are helping to free them, and in gratitude the clones are fighting for them, as we have seen. Keeping the clones as slaves is helping the image of the OPA and it is likely to sway those NOT in favor of slavery to their cause. It makes the Republic look like meanies--um--I mean--look bad," the Zeltron cleared her throat and continued, "Freeing the clones is necessary to prevent the OPA from gaining more armies and supporters. But, more importantly, freeing the clones is the right thing to do."

[Unna Hi Chaanu]

Unna sat back down. "Very good," she smiled. "You even self corrected when you said 'meanies' which means the practice served you well. Just try and refrain from such slang and I think you will do well. I am both surprised and impressed. I will make the call for you."

Unna moved back to the head of her bed and sat up against the headboard, allowing her legs to outstretched. She used the force to move a pillow toward her feet as she lifted her legs and used the pillow to elevate them. "I need to relax. You both are welcome to stay and chat."

Unna got out her communicator and sent a text message to Praeta Syrdash: "I have a request from a friend who would like to meet with you regarding the emancipation of clones. It would be a great personal favor to me if you would grant her your audience."

[Gar]

The Zeltron jumped up and down and cheered loudly before suddenly doubling over in pain, her breath catching in her throat. She slowly stood up straight again and turned to Gadeon. "We did it, Gaddy!!" Ni exclaimed with a bright, hopeful smile, "We're going to speak to the Chancellor lady!!!"
