SENATE SPEAKER: The deadline for nominations for the post of First Consul has expired. I therefore declare Marcellus Aemilius and Numerius Aureolus elected unopposed as Co-Consuls.

As no motion has received two seconders, all motions fail.

Now, gentlemen, I believe the Civil War has left us exhausted. I encourage you to return to your estates, or to your armies, and work to restore the Republic to it's old glories. Farewell!

And with that, the portly old man shuffles out of the Speakers chair and bumbles over to the doors, letting the few silent Senators who still remain leave first. He takes one last whistful look at the now empty chamber, before closing the larger wooden doors and locking them firmly closed.
