On opposite sides of the Planet

In 1777, in two very far away places, the same thing was happening - enough people had had enough of domineering arseholes imposing their crap! It was time for change and time for action. It was time to go. In Bali Hai, an Island group in the South Pacific - there had been unrelenting war for several decades... In London, the capital city of the ever expanding British Empire - revolution was brewing and the queers had had enough ...

Aboard the good ship Molly, Xavier Fleetwood (First Mate) and his lover Samuel (Ships Steward) passionately championed the argument for a peaceful approach, recounting earlier debates at Princess Cinnamon's Molly House where the conspiracy to form this exhibition began.
From all accounts on both sides, time was taken and space was given.
Eventually, the entire minus Queen Namali (who was sick) and a few others, made the approach. They were unarmed and seemed to be in good spirits. The British expatriates hurriedly as the Bali Hai approached and it was agreed to accept Captain Flynt's offer that he approach them alone. He was warmly greeted.
