When the young brunette held up her hand and announced herself, Gaius quickly diverted his attention in her direction. He nodded when she posed her query and then idly adjusted his glasses on his nose.
"Thank you for that question, Miss Lane."
He straightened his posture. Six was on the edge of her seat, leaning forward, her breasts threatening to break through the tautly zippered dress. Don't look at her, Gaius. She's not there. Well, she is there, but no one else can see her. Don't look. Focus on the reporter. Instant composure.
"First and foremost, I think it's essential to organize a better method for introducing newcomers to The City. Many of the citizens have taken it upon themselves, quite admirably, to assist new arrivals and help them to cope with the unfamiliarity of The City and its peculiar, and sometimes frightening, methods of delivery. If elected, my first duty will be to better organize a committee to provide immediate aid and comfort to the new arrivals. I believe it would benefit all citizens if this committee were to include individuals of varying fields, particularly in the areas of counseling, to help lessen any psychological troubles The City's unexpected snatching can cause. As for other changes, I do not ignore the obvious difficulty. How can one change a place that instantly provides everything that a resident could want or need? But I do see a certain lack of community among The City, both amongst its original occupants and the newcomers. My second change would be to put in place better social connections, to help bring people together in friendship and hospitality."
Six nodded her approval. Gaius gave an inward sigh of relief.
