I'm just a bill on Meatship hill [Open]

Well that whole thing was a big mess. The trial worked but the problem was lack of precedent. Or structure. There was common law, but nothing definite. Should be some basic rules to keep order, or situations like what happened in the city were going to keep happening. Security and the Precinct help, but they need something more to back them. As it was, Nathan was currently holed up in the Media Library of late, poring over various law books of different worlds and cultures. Trying to get some ideas to present to the rest of the Command Staff. And part of it was to make sure there was representation and laws to protect those with and without abilities.

Pirogoeth often came to the Media Library. While they weren't in the form she was used to, the books still held knowledge that she almost craved to learn. As such, it was no surprise that she was there again.

And she noticed the other who was looking through many of the little datapads. Upon closer inspection, she saw they were books on law. After pondering a moment, she moved close. "Thou art very intent on thine reading. Perhaps to do with the recent chaos of the ship's rather unstable form of it?"

Nathan rubbed his eyes, and set down one of the datapads. He sighed before noticing that he had an observer in the room.

He then nodded to her, "Yeah, you got it. We need some more order around here and fast before everybody takes each other apart. Can't just get by general acceptance of status quo. There's too many people for that now."

Pirogoeth nodded and after a moment, took seat at his table. "Then allow me to assist thee. While I am not from a time as advanced as many present, the idea of leading the....representativs of other societies is something I have some knowledge in."

Jean had been searching for some more information on some of the gadgets in them medlab, which was one reason she was stepping inside the media library. The other was to do some research on different types of civil governments, that way she'd have something to present to the Command Staff whenever that meeting took place.

And then there was someone who had been pointed out to her by another member of the crew. Nathan Petrelli. From what she understood, he should be able to help her out.

Slowly she made her way over to him, and cleared her throat so didn't totally catch him off guard. "Mr. Petrelli? Hi, I'm Jean Grey... And I'm not interrupting you am I?"

Nathan gestured to a seat with some interest at her comment.

"Yeah? What political structures are you familiar with? Democratic? Parliamentary? Monarchy? Like to hear about some of the more commonly held laws where you're from too."

He glanced up, and put his book down so he could stand up to offer her a seat. There was also a toothy grin of greeting.

"Nathan please, and sure, go right ahead." He had vaguely remembered seeing her around but hadn't had a chance to really talk yet.

He then explained, "Trying to look into setting up a legal structure around here. Figured I'd check into laws of some of the worlds everybody's coming from, see what we can work out to get some order around here. We can't afford to have another incident."

"In mine world, monarchy was most common. Parliamentary was....not rare, and I hath heard of only a few democracies. Kingdoms ranged in different laws around. Mine own was a monarchy, but with some stipulations. All heirs had to go through various forms of education. Scholarly, military, diplomacy, and others such things, all of these practices were required and expected to be handled in an acceptable manner before the heir is official. This wasn't a common practice for other kingdoms," Pirogoeth explained. "Kuith is the place I know best, Reaht would be second, but I know a great deal about other systems."

"Thank you, Nathan," Jean smiled back and took the offered seat.

She folded her hands together and was silent for a few moments while she listened to him explain what he was doing. "Oh? I think that's a great idea. In a way, I've been thinking along the same lines..."

She sighed, "I think the incident got completely out of hand. And well, I've been actually thinking that we almost have too much a militaristic rule going on here.... I've heard that you're a Senator where you're from, so I was wondering what you're thoughts would be on having a civilian council added onto the command structure."

Nathan settled back in his seat, listening for a moment.

"Sounds a little like monarchic cultures in the East with the focus on education. Also for higher ups in those society. Makes sense. We have something like that, anyone with an interest in management and politics needs a lot of education. Also connections."

"Congressman," He gently corrected. He was pulled to the ship before he could have the later vacant Senate seat being offered to them.

Nathan then said, "I think that's an excellent idea. Most of the people here are civilians, even though many have fighting or battle experience."

He sighed, wondering how to phrase it, "I think there's also been some distrust and concerns. Particularly with the number of people with abilities, many being underaged. We need a better representation and a better way to make sure there's no other problems."

"Well good, in my world I didn't get on too well with Senators," She joked, though quickly became serious again.

She slowly nodded her head, "I think the same thing, And while I can understand some of the trepidation concerning the teenagers with superpowers, I think sometimes the command seems to forget that those same teenagers carried great responsibilities in the worlds they came from and the lack of trust concerning them isn't doing them any good in a mental aspect."

She bit her bottom lip for a moment, "Do you think a civilian council could work? Captain Kirk didn't seem to be too fond of the idea."

"The land with the educated people will recognize the problems as they arise and thus they will be dealt with instead of ignored like those who are fools," Pirogoeth said. "There are other lands like Kuith, though differences in how the process is run, that might perhaps resemble thine East. That would depend on the world. Mine world is called The Endgames."

"Connections do make things easier. Usually if one is of a noble bloodline, they are noticed. It is a bit harder for those of lower classes unless they make friends with a noble. Which isn't as hard as some kingdoms as in Kuith. I do not know of many kingdoms that would actually put the children of those with high power in the heat of battle for their education. Something that might have done quite a great deal for some of the more...arrogant of the lot. They could understand the danger they put their people and get to know some of those of the lower class a bit more personally."
