TNGF
SELECTED
Ronald Reagan
primary
A tall, well-built man in his mid-70s with neatly combed silver hair, a strong jawline, and piercing blue eyes. His face shows the weathering of age but retains a charismatic handsomeness, with deep laugh lines around his eyes and mouth. He carries himself with the upright posture of a former actor and military officer.
Mikhail Gorbachev
primary
A middle-aged man of average height with a distinctive birthmark on his bald head, deep-set eyes, and a furrowed brow that conveys both intensity and thoughtfulness. His posture is upright, reflecting his military background, yet there's a slight forward lean suggesting engagement.
US Advisor
secondary
A middle-aged man in his late 40s, with a lean build and sharp features. His short, neatly combed brown hair is graying at the temples, and his piercing blue eyes are constantly scanning the room. He has a clean-shaven face and a slight tan, suggesting recent travel.
Soviet Advisor
secondary
A middle-aged man with a lean, wiry build, sharp facial features, and thinning dark hair combed back. His pale complexion and the faint lines around his eyes suggest years of bureaucratic strain. He wears round, wire-framed glasses that slightly magnify his watchful gaze.
Icelandic Interpreter
background
A middle-aged Icelandic man with a lean build, short-cropped salt-and-pepper hair, and sharp blue eyes that dart between speakers. His posture is slightly hunched from years of leaning forward to catch every nuance of conversation.

Dialog

Ronald Reagan Mikhail, let me be clear about this—we're not talking about reducing weapons. We're talking about eliminating them entirely. A world without nuclear arms isn't just a dream; it's a necessity.
Mikhail Gorbachev Mr. President, the Soviet Union shares this vision. But do we not see that trust must be built step by step? Complete elimination requires verification mechanisms acceptable to both our peoples.
US Advisor Mr. President, the verification protocols are key. Without them, we risk asymmetry in compliance.
Soviet Advisor General Secretary, certain complications arise with on-site inspections. The military apparatus has expressed... reservations.
Ronald Reagan Well now, Mikhail, we've both got our hawks to contend with. But isn't it our job to rise above that? For the sake of our grandchildren.
Mikhail Gorbachev A noble sentiment, Mr. President. Yet history cautions us—disarmament without mutual confidence is like building on sand. Our systems must evolve together.
US Advisor The sticking point remains SDI. They'll never agree to deep cuts if we proceed with space-based defenses.
