### Third Conference (July 2020)

This meeting was two hours long and filled to the brim with debate and reform bills. A crossroads has emerged on the TPU path: join the rest of the factions in the mainstream VC community, or strengthen isolationist national ties and grow as a faction separated from the mainstream.

* *"Your pleas and petitions have been heard, and here is my answer. We need to change, sincerely. The bickering and divided path we are heading down makes us no better than the very people we are trying to break away from. We do not want to be another Lumen, Order, Senate or United Nations. We want to be the Tripartite Union, founded on the principles of freedom and justice. With my continued leadership, I think we can get there. I am saddened by recent news and I urge all of you to please come together in this dark time. Set aside your differences so that we may work together for a brighter future. After all, our civil liberties are extremely important, and that is exactly what I intend to uphold with every fiber of my very being as we move into the next phase." -AlikatHD, Konferanter Commencement Speech, July 1st, 2020.*

* *I think it is time for a change, a big change, one that we can all get behind. We have been lagging on a global scale, and I am not just referring to the block lag. We need to look to the future and make the necessary changes so we can join the rest of our fellow faction peeps in the spotlight. -exSui, Relations Officer Commencement Speech, July 1st, 2020.*
