Carrick had been working hard for so long to get his plans for the ISC military up and running that actually announcing it to the Galaxy? Well it was akin to undoing a pressure valve, he was beginning to think he had been close to over-working himself. Thankfully he had learned lessons and he knew how to allocate his time far better than he did before. One thing that still took up time, however, was press conferences though, this time at least, it would be slightly harder than he was expecting.
No cherry picking of reporters in this case, the floor was open to questions from reporters in the room with him and those linked to the announcement via holonet feed as well. Though he did maintain control of the mute function when it came to the holonet vid feed reporters just in case some of them decided to try and derail the whole thing.
Stepping out to the podium, Carrick did his best to ignore the flashes of several different types of cameras and feeds. The noise that accompanied his entrance was, likewise, ignored for the moment as he came to a stop behind the podium. Placing his hands atop the podium, Carrick smiled a little bit as he gave the assembled reporters a respectful nod.
"Thank you for your time today everyone - I'll do my best to be that most rare kind of politician; one blessed with brevity." he smiled a little wider, "It is my pleasure to announce that the ISC will no longer stand in the Galaxy with merely it's best intentions to safeguard it's peoples. I am proud to announce the formation of both an Army and a Navy that will serve the ISC as a whole. And I am prouder still to be joined here today by officers from said military!"
He ignored the flurry of questions and gestured with his right hand to the side of the room - through the door a trio of sentients dressed in military dress uniforms stepped into the room. With precise steps, the trio moved to stand behind Carrick, coming to a parade rest as they did so.
"Commander Suvo Tanwa, Fleet Admiral Scora Izer and General Kuna Trillo."
A Rodian male in the yellow highlighted dress uniform of a Commander of the Navy, a dark skinned female human in the blue uniform of Fleet Admiral and an almost sickly pale human man in the red of a General of the ISC Army.
"Myself and these brave officers will now take questions from reporters both in the room and live via the holonet. One question at a time please, thank you."
