After his recent military success, he needed little introduction. We are human beings, and have always fought for our rights and our dignity. We formed the League of Nobles so that free men could resist the Titans, and after them the thinking machines. Only by standing united have we been able to stop the headlong conquests of our enemies. He scanned the representatives seated in the crowded hall. But at times the League is its own worst enemy.
 
The attendees respected this hero too much to argue, and Xavier continued quickly and concisely. While we pay lip service to our alliance, the League Worlds remain self-centered and independent. When a beleaguered planet calls for help, the League debates and agonizes for months before we decide on our response -- until it is too late! We saw that on Giedi Prime. Only Serena's folly forced us to act swiftly enough to make a difference. She knew exactly what she was doing, and paid for it with her life.
 
When a few of the representatives began to mutter, Xavier's skin grew hot and he silenced them with a booming voice. The League of Nobles must form a stronger coalition under streamlined leadership. To be effective against a highly organized computer evermind, we need a closely knit government of humans, better than this loose structure. He waved his hands as he spoke. That was the most dismaying fact!
