…okay, figuring that I accidently deleted Chapter 2, I am now going to write Cliff Notes for them, because I'm too lazy to write exactly what happened.  I apologize for all new readers.

Setting:  Planetary Council Meeting

Zakharov is looking bored, until Deirdre walks to take the center floor of the committee.

Deirdre proposes abolishing the U.N charter.

After debate, Zakharov suggests a vote.

The vote is Morgan and Deirdre, yes.  Zakharov, Miriam, Lal, no.  Yang is undecided.  Deirdre glared coldly as Zakharov put his vote in.

Colonel Santiago decides that the issue needs more thought, and rejects it. 

Yang and Zakharov talk after the meeting, Yang suggesting that Zakharov fortify his bases.

Zakharov walks into Shila, who was a stowaway away inside his Datapod.  She seemed to have a great time despite Zakharov's total boredom.
