[Where their hands are folded, the fingers tense together.]
I don't think that any of the others are completely unfit to be put into a position of supreme power over the rest of us, but I do have doubts that most of them can act with a clear sense of duty toward the people. I feel as if for many of them, our responsibilities have taken a backseat to more personal expectations, desires, or vendettas.
[The mask lifts upward, staring at Ishi as if the eyes behind it could translate the importance of the words spoken.]
What I want is peace and compromise. I want us to work together, and do so as best as we can for the world that we've been entrusted with. Unfortunately...as things are, I've been unable to make my voice heard by my peers. The only way now that I can gain that respect is to win.
