1. [An announcement, but one you can respond to through normal channels.]
The struggle is no more. The results of the Grand Vote are established, and all of Geb is united now in its support of ESUN, and Earth as a whole. The Anti Earthling Party is no more; I doubt the sentiments some of its members held will disappear overnight, but they are powerless to act on them. Only the worst scoundrel would go against the decision of the high council.
General Khaldun has returned to Geb, to command its defense force. Should he have any forces to spare, he will send them to Earth, to support your endeavours. For now, the only Gebian warrior remaining on the planet will be me, as before. Expect to see more visitors soon, however; scientists, engineers, traders, and just ordinary people seeking to see Earth with their own eyes. Talks about the exchange of goods and technologies are already underway; our people shall prosper together.
Never forget that all of this was possible because of you! You helped fight the invasions of AEP, and persuade undecided members of the council to support the PEP. High Commander Teremun caused much death to fuel his ridiculous ambition, and he would cause much more if he was not stopped. For your support, you have my thanks.
2. [Later, in her office, Hetepheres is looking at a photo. It looks fairly old, but it's hard to see what's on it without approaching her. And before any onlookers have a chance to do that, she suddenly throws it into the air, and, while it's floating down, fires a laser blast at it with her stuff! The photo is reduced to ashes. The general sits down on her chair, heavily.]
...It is finally over.

I didn't want to spy on it, you didn't have to do that!

But, wouldn't it make sense to keep the picture and help remember?

No, more than that. The mistakes I committed in the past were a burden on me. A burden that has been finally been lifted.

[Willis instinctively throws his hands in front of him as if they would so something against a laser flying at him.]
And also! Most people would consider blasting a photo with a laser blast just a bit excessive!

I could have thrown the photo into a fireplace instead. Unfortunately, my office is not equipped with one.

It seems weird for you to suddenly destroy it.

[That sounded familiar.]
If I was in your position I don't think I would have been able to bring myself to destroy something like that.
