(The following is in response to staol.proboards.com/thread/508/overdue-elenrian-riot)
The day following the riot the Elenrian provisional governor made a public appearance that was broadcasted on live television. "The actions of the territorials involved in suppressing the riot yesterday were undeniably unjust. It is clear now more than ever that the standards for territorial soldiers are far too low. I will be launching an inquisition into the events of yesterday to ensure nothing like that happens ever again. While many of the protestors were in breach of Kumosenkan law, their deaths were not just punishment. Any territorial soldiers involved in the killing of civilians yesterday will be receiving a life sentence. Any officers complicit in the killing of civilians yesterday will be receiving death. In addition, all territorial training times will be extended by one month for training on proper riot protocols. My heart breaks for all the families that were shattered by yesterdays events, I implore you to reach out to my office personally so that I may begin to make things right. I know there is nothing I can do to bring your loved ones back, but what I can do is provide restitution for your loss as well I can lend an ear to you and listen to anything you have to say. Only together can we ensure the prosperity of Elenria. I depend on every last one of you to hold strong through these complicated times. With honor to the Empress. That is all."
