[the video flickers to light, an international broadcast. joseph kavinsky looks unwontedly solemn. at this point, anyone at the synod may have heard some issues.]
To the citizens of the world.[if you're thinking, 'what reason?' you're not alone. kavinsky's face is pleasantly blank; no shit-eating grin, nothing.]
Earlier today, High Chancellor Stark was murdered in cold blood at the Synod. The physical evidence shows multiple powers were used, including electricity and technopathy. We have reason to believe the Resistance was responsible.
Unfortunately, upon his resurrection, Stark was of unsound mind and unfit for duty. But while our leader has fallen, the need for leadership is unchanged.[OOC Information: Everyone's welcome to tag this post! Express dissent or support of Rey, whodunnit theories, etc. You can express some suspicion that she was involved in Tony's death, but to escalate to investigation, please plot with Rey's and Tony's players. For player knowledge only (until otherwise plotted), Tony quantum-leaped during his resurrection; his current mental state is MoM!Tony.]
Rey Palpatine took it upon herself to convene the Parliament of the White Tower. [the moving portrait of a woman flashes into view beside him, dark-haired, lean, imperious, strikingly beautiful.] And in a just and legal vote, High Chancellor Palpatine won the majority. She now wields executive authority over the Tower and its territories. On behalf of the people, we are honored and grateful that we're in such capable hands.
Tune in next week for a livestream of the official induction ceremony. High Chancellor Palpatine UFO dolls will be available in stores near you starting Monday morning. Thank you.
