She wasn't sure she was the right person for the job after the World News showed part of a clip of her standing with a bloody tomahawk (Hence her nickname, General Tomahawk) in her right hand and a blood dripping knife in her left hand fighting hand to hand with those that wished to kill her She was a warrior Some called her a cold blooded killer but she was not Laying her tomahawk and pistol on the podium, she heard several "gasps" when she took them out like they were especting her to open fire on the audience. Instead she removed her hands from them and started speaking. Vicki was shocked how well her short little speech was shown around the world and the people agreed with her, it was time to stop all wars Appointed as a Senator in the newly added state of Indonesia, Vicki found out how popular her speech made her when she arrived to a million chanting supporters.
