<Ronan Karn>: Gathered members of the provisial Federation Council, we are here on this day, Stardate 11705.04, to vote on a resolution regarding the consolidation of those planets in attendence that remain loyal to the true spirit of the Federation: exploration, diplomacy, but above all, the common good of its members. We have debated for three full days the merits of this resolution, and yesterday voted to end debate and put the resolution to a final vote.
Before we begin the roll call, I want to give you my word that I will accept the outcome of the vote willingly and without grievance. Despite the many lies that have been told about me these past few months, I have only ever wished to serve the Federation and its citizens. That is why I joined Starfleet. That is why I accepted the position of President of the Council when Shezor Ell was believed to be killed by Tzenkethi extremists.
Those who have so readily divided our great Federation would have you believe that I am a tyrant who refused to step down when Shezor Ell was rescued. They do not tell you that they sought to circumvent the Federation Charter in doing so, illegally attempting to remove me from a duly elected office in order to install someone who had likely endured some psychological damage as a result of their ordeal.
Let me state for the record here today that I refused to step down not because of a lust for power, but as a result of my dedication to the rule of law, the good of the Federation, and the well-being of its people. Many might see me as a criminal, but today I say to you that I am a patriot and a civil servant, and that is all I have ever been.
Should this provisional council vote to reject the resolution, I will readily hand myself over to Shezor Ell's supporters. Should you vote to approve, I give you my solemn vow that I will continue to do as I have done - serve the Federation.
Thank you. Speaker Po?
<D'kan Po, Council Speaker>: Thank you, President Karn. We will now call a vote for Provisional Council Resolution One regarding the consolidation of worlds recognizing the Karn Administration as the rightful executives of the United Federation of Planets. The call will be 'aye' to approve, and 'nay' to reject. I will now begin the roll.
