[Chancellor Dewa Lanadi]

"Fellow senators,

I want to thank you all again for the confidence you have placed in me during this election, as you did last time.

Now, for my cabinet:

Following tradition, I have appointed myself as the Minister of Finance.

Senator Kachiso Doshima, my first running mate, will take up the mantle of Minister of Commerce.

I have asked Senator Atheos from the Astai Republic, to stay on as Minister of Foreign Affairs.

I would like to ask Senator Mathi-ey C'b'rton of the Divine Fiefdom of Highmons to continue in her capacity as Minister of Justice. At least until such time that the ministry is dissolved as per the Supreme Court of the Union Act.

And finally, I ask senator Ardios Eldrilith of the Praetorian Empire to join me as Minister of Defence."


She looks first at senator Mathi-ey C'b'rton, and then at senator Ardios Eldrilith.

I hope that both senators accept this invitation, such that we can get to the business of governing the Union."

[Senator Ardios Eldrilith]

Senator Ardios Eldrilith nodded in confirmation.

"I will accept the duties of the Minister of Defence."
