Cherokee walks out of his headquarters and lights a cigarette

It is with a heart filled with sorrow and joy that I come to you tonight to make an announcement.I have lost a dear dear friend of mine tonight with the unfortunate passing of ZeroSeven. He was a man who had been with me from the start. After serving as my Left Hand for months he earned his shot at leadership only to be cut down by a misfiring gun. This is a sad night for the city of St. Louis, but out of the dust a flower has taken bloom.

Cherokee snuffs out his cigarette and continues

Tonight I get the privilege of authing a longtime friend of many in this thing of ours. Cassiopeia has been a rock in St. Louis since our very beginnings. I cannot say enough about her and why she deserves this shot. She has always been there to anyone who needed to talk or just wanted to hear a friendly word. She is one of the hardest workers I know and she truly deserves this. She will be setting up in the place of the deceased ZeroSeven. She, alongside some of the other famous St. Louis women, will be founding The Star-Crossed Thievery Corporation. I would wish her all the luck in the world, but she doesn't need it.

Cherokee flips an address card to her new HQ to his bg

Make sure Sho gets that.

Taking a swig from his flask Cherokee turns back towards the crowd

Today was a sad day for St. Louis, but it is also a day for new beginnings, and I am proud to see such an old friend finally get her dues.

Congratulations Cassiopeia!

Today is your day.

Congratulations Cassiopeia!  I know you're going to do great.  You are a fine person and this is well deserved!

Stunning. A chance that is well deserved and I know our society as a whole will benefit from this. Unfortunate timing on the death of Mr Seven, however I'm sure this auth will steady a slightly unstable ship. Good choice there Cherokee.

Congratulations Cassiopeia. My father talked me a lot about you and i am sure that you will do only good.

Absolute joy right now. Ive wanted to see this happen for a very long time.

I just want to say i waited for you to get your own crew longer than falcon. Before i was even born i waited for you to get your own family. Impossible? I think not cause i made it possible.

SINGER chuckles

On a more serious note, Ms. C. I am very happy for you i really am. I enjoyed my conversations with you and i believe that St. Louis is on a great track with you in their midst as a leader. God bless you and your family.

Hate to see people lost like that. I am sorry for your loss.

Congrats on the auth Cass.

Cosmo reaches into an overcoat pocket and pulls out some party poppers and bottles of Irn Bru

Congratumalations Cassi.

I can see an HQ with you and Maranatha getting up to what you and Maranatha get up to being quite the place to be.

You've been one of the rocks that St Louis has been based on over the last few months and you look hotter in bold than you did in the slanty suit.

Cosmo pops the poppers and hands out Irn Bru to the bystanders.

I couldn't have said it any better than Cosmo has. A very apt name for the family too, you are indeed a shining star in St Louis and deserve this oppertunity. I look forward to working alongside you and watching you build what i'm sure will be a wonderful family.

Raises his can of Irn Bru

To your good health!!

Congragulations I have confidence that another of our CLs will not fall to such harsh fates.
