Reaching Out
Who: Nicholas Reeve and all interested in his Native/Visitor Diplomacy group
Where: The Nadeisico
Summary: Nick proposes a group which can help mediate some of the tensions between the Visitors and the natives. But he may have a few side goals in mind too...
Warnings: Presumably none.
Nick's been through a lot of different things in his life, but he has to admit it's the first time he's ever been in a space battleship, let alone hosted a MEETING in one. Hell, it's the first time he's hosted a meeting, period. But something has to be done, and he knows it.
He'd seen the anger. Real or manufactured, something was threatening to explode unless they as arrivals -- voluntary or otherwise -- confronted it face on. To ignore such a thing during a period in time like this would be to invite disaster, and quite possibly this great and terrible danger the people who had disappeared had been sent to confront. Whether or not this world was truly his own, that just wouldn't cut it. After all, he's all too familiar with the notion of destroyed worlds...
He looks around at the setup. It's sort of weird, hanging out in a place with giant robots to conduct business. He hopes people don't get too distracted by that. At the same time, this is really the only place to do this. Some of Nick's ideas might be a bit, well, controversial. Still, even if people DON'T go along with his secondary objective, hopefully they'll still be amenable to the primary.
Still, his plans would work better with help.

He paces a bit. "I'm not asking us to go, 'Here, let me help you, and oh by the way what do you know about what happened around here.' I want people to keep aware. Listen to things people tell you when they're comfortable with you. Get a better feel for the ground. Sometimes the first step is just finding the roots of discontent."

"I don't know if it's for good or bad, but even if they're in the dark too, there's stuff they know that they're not sharing. It's just a really bad situation."

He crosses his arms. "When it comes down to it, the biggest problem we're having is a lack of trust all around. The natives don't trust us. The government don't trust us. The Anoli sure as Hell don't trust us, and want to make sure the lack of trust stays that way. Information is at a standstill unless there's trust -- and with it, any hopes of anybody functioning smoothly." He sighs. "It's nice to view everybody getting along as just everybody getting along, but diplomacy is a matter of getting along and moving TOGETHER to boot, if that makes sense."
