The logo of the ISC would be displayed proudly and without music before being replaced on the screens of those watching by Secretary Carrick of the ISC himself, standing behind a podium looking stern and, perhaps, a touch solemn. As the camera view widens to take in the whole of the stage, showing that Carrick was accompanied by the dark-skinned woman from the announcement declaring the formation of the ISC Military, Fleet Admiral Scora Izer.
She stands at attention by his side and Carrick takes a breath and, more importantly, is seen by millions of people across the holonet to be taking a breath as well. Taking a second to calm himself to give a measured response - he was already calm, honestly, but people didn't trust people who were calm when terrible things were happening. They liked to be led by people who were able to appear calm, able to control themselves despite how them feeling the same way the general public did.
Shocked and appalled were the main emotions tonight.
"People of the Galaxy, tonight I stand before you not for anything worthy of celebration but to declare that the ISC is not blind to the plight of others. As we speak, the world of Firrerre is in Flames."
He gestured to the Fleet Admiral beside him.
"Fleet Admiral Scora Izer will be leading one of the Three-Fold Fleets of the ISC to Firrerre with an attached aid and medical convoy. Though we are not part of the war that has called down this attack onto the people of Firrerre, we will not stand by and allow them to suffer in the fires of war. As part of this outreach, citizens of Firrerre will also be accepted into the ISCRA program currently underway as well - with the fleet and accompanying convoy prepared to take many civilians away from the danger zone as they are able to bring."
Carrick leaned forward.
"Let me be clear; this is NOT a declaration of war or of allegiance to one side in the current conflict. But the Three-Fold Fleet will return fire on anyone who makes the decision to open fire - regardless of which side takes that shot. Thank you, but that is all for today. Please join me in wishing Fleet Admiral Izer and her convoy Godspeed and good luck."
