The North PacificBoard

The polls in Multinia were open and the people had voted. The Canine Security Council was once again sitting in Fort Canine. However this would be a detrimental meeting to decide on the future of Human Canineians.

King Fluffy sat in his chair looking at all the other members of the council, waiting. They were waiting for the envelope to show the results of the vote. This time the full session would be shown live on RCBS both on its website and main channel.

The King wondered how many people were watching this session. Was it just the Canineian population or the wider world? He had some doubt that the majority of civilians of other nations were watching. How would they know a Canineian web address or even Poodle to search the RCBS stream He thought to himself.

Finally after the endless ticking of the clock filling the void that was activity the doors of the chamber opened with a creak. A wolf in a Dogs Guard uniform walked through the chambers up through the middle between all the other members of the Council and stooping at the Kings desk. He carried a large brown envelope with no visible wording on it. He gave the King a salute before placing the envelope on his desk. He turned around and marched back down the middle of the hall and out the double doors at the end. They were closed by guards standing outside.

King Fluffy stared at the envelope for a second before gently picking it up. He opened the drawer of the desk and took out a letter opener made specifically for the Monarch to open important letters. He slid the knife across the top with one slow and gentle incision allowing him to reach in and grab the paper inside.

He read the contents for what seemed to be the longest minute in history. Everyone else just sat there patiently and quietly waiting for him to say what the results were.

King Fluffy finally stood up to speak
"67% voted to veto Proposition 142. Humans will be allowed stay in Canineia."

A sudden wind of silence blew across the hall well except for the ticking clock.

The Chancellor of Huskin stood up and said
"But we can't provide them with the proper things to survive"

King Fluffy replied
"Well they've survived 116 years of war and famine. I'm sure they can survive without state supported medication. Anyways. With this vote giving clarity on this situation. Proposition 142 is hereby vetoed and shall not go into effect. This session is adjourned"

The cameras went black and stopped streaming
