Senator Mtumba and senator Muller sat together in a private room in a resturant. One robot served this very private room. There was a floating, holographic  view screen. The robot brought nuts and beer, the new model travelled by anti gravity technology. Silver in color with large curios eyes. The robot had flexible, long black hands.

‘Screen on.’ Muller said in his strong accent.

The floating view screen flashed on. The news was on and that annoying reporter Joan Williams was talking. 

‘I thought the ANN was supposed to be independant?’ Muller sipped his beer.

‘As far as I know it is.’ The black tribe Mtumba said.

Senator Muller was white tribe, blond hair and blue eyes. The two men dressed like business men both in shirt and tie, with jacket. Both wearing red arm bands around the left bicep. Muller wore a black suit and tie while his black tribe partner wore a nice brown number, white shirt and a yellow tie with brown stripes.

‘Independant my toe!’ Muller spat. ‘She has been attacking our party for years.’

‘That tends to happen with governments in power for eight years.’

‘Do they forget the blue party was in power for twelve?’ Muller sounded bitter.

‘The Adamic news network tries to be independant, emphasis on try.’ Mtumba smiled.

‘They should try harder. These economic woes are not our fault, we were left with large debts.’

‘Quiet I want to hear the news.’

Joan Williams was on screen put then the picture cut to an inner city riot.

‘…As you can see from the footage thousands here on homeworld are rioting for food. Yesterday the Adamic Liberation Front raided a deep space cargo ship bringing grain from the colonies. This move according to ALF leader Anthony Silverman is intended to put pressure on the Red party government.’

‘He’s nothing put a pirate and a thief, people should really stop calling him a freedom fighter.’ Muller interrupted.

‘Shhh.’ Mtumba raised his finger.

Joan continued. ‘Silverman claims that all poloticians are the same, corrupt. He makes it clear that he does not support either the Red or blue party. however there is speculation that he is sympathetic to the newly established, right wing Green party.’
