Viceroy Caratore has given his first Christmas address to MBO-New Sparta since becoming the leader in the wake of the MBO take-over of New Sparta. He congratulated New Sparta for recovering from it's defeat and for entering a new and fruitful partnership with the Mutre Bee Organisation. The full text of his speech is as follows.
"Fellow Spartans, earlier this year New Sparta suffered it's greatest defeat. It was bought down by the superior technology, performance and tactics of the Mutre Bee Organisation. Despite this defeat, the recover has shown the power and resilience of New Sparta.
"New Sparta has been able to recover, to integrate itself into the MBO, to adopt new and improved procedures and systems. I am proud of you all for not sulking or hiding away in bitterness, as some obsolete has beens have, but for knuckling down and getting on with the job. And that job is to protect the UNP, it's population of humans, Sangans and other species. Under the umbrella of the enlightened leadership of the Mutre Bee we will be able to perform that job even better than before!
"The last year has been tough but the coming years will be better. New Sparta will be better and more powerful than ever before. Long live New Sparta! Long live the Mutre Bee!"
