MAVOCKE -- After much anticipation, President Jim McCaren made his pick to lead the country's main spy agency.
The president has chosen Maggie Coates, a former diplomat and senior official in Grassadellia's intelligence services, to lead NEXIS.
The Native and External Intelligence Services (NEXIS) agency is the largest and most prominent of Grassadellia's spy agencies.
Coates has held several leadership positions within both the Foreign Affairs Department and NEXIS.
If confirmed, she would be the agency's first female chief.
At age 68, she would also be one of the oldest directors of the agency.
Her nomination won praise from across the political spectrum.
"Maggie Coates is an expert in her field and will serve our country well as director of NEXIS," said Armana Senator Serap Figaori (pronounced "Sare-rap Fig-aree"), a Nationalist.
Chuck Danbury, a Conservative senator also from Armana, and one of the Senate's most widely-respected members on national security issues, also offered praise for Coates.
"Maggie Coates has the experience, the knowledge and the temperament to lead NEXIS, and I look forward to voting to confirm her," Danbury said.
Some Conservative senators expressed early opposition to Coates' nomination.
"I have some real concerns about Maggie Coates' views on interrogation and giving legal rights to terrorists," Sen. Driscoll Sherber (C-Biereland) told GNN News.
"Terrorists who seek to kill and destroy Grassadellians should not have access to the same legal rights that the average Grassadellian citizen has access to," added Sherber.
Most members, however, reacted with a generic statement on McCaren's pick.
"I'm eager to sit down with Ms. Coates and discuss her vision for NEXIS and the concerns she has about our country's security," Ansleigha Senator Ellie Higgins, a Conservative, told the NPF.
Trinton Sen. Bruce Kellney (N) told the Golden Shore Tribune that Coates has "a record of service," and "deserves to have a fair and transparent confirmation process."
"I really hope the hardcore Conservatives don't try to sink this nomination just for political purposes," Kellney admonished. "On the issue of national security, we shouldn't let partisan politics dictate our votes."
