((Thank you for that.  You gave me a reason to post again lol.))<br/><br/>John raised an eyebrow as Avelo summoned the wine glass, the three unofficial heads of the entire Council were impressed however, but they didn't waste time in moving onward.  The Turian spoke first this time.  "And yet here you are.  Such a feat can only mean you were cloned or some other means were applied to make it possible for you to be here now, Ambassador Avelo.  I'd like to know more on this when there is time after this meeting, if you'd entertain an old Turian war hero as myself."<br/><br/>The Asari Matriarch nodded in agreement to the idea, though time was precious since there was countless other voices to be heard before the day was through.  "If we are ready to proceed, we have heard reports that a few of you have gifts you wish to present to this Council as acts of good faith, future allegiances, and other reasons besides.  If you wish to give your items over to us now, you may do so, or you can wait until after this meeting has been adjourned.  The choice is yours."<br/><br/>((A short post to see who is still interested in this and who is not.  I am sorry for the long delay, RL caught up with me, and I got sick for a good week, among other things.))
