Okay, lets go, everyone loves a speech, though that feeling in your chest never really goes away, i wonder if everyone has that...
I don't think i make good speeches anyway, but someone has to
"Commander" i hear in the distance, a woman pointing to the mic, no script, make it up as you go, follow the emotions
"5...4...3.." she motions "2...1" she points at me
"Citizens of Xi Wangda, my name is Kingkarper01 of the Anti Club Accords, and i speak to you now
Many of you may recognise my name already, and some for the first time, i speak to you all as an old citizen of the system
Those with our blood in our veins are ones that are not easy to put down and swept aside
But months ago delegates from Azimuth Biotech came and took the system in their hands. They have set shops, placed their megaship in our house, in return of our acceptance of their presence they give security, trade opportunity, and economic booms"
i feel my heartbeat increase
"But what have they really done for you?! Nothing. In fact you have LOST influence in your own system, and with every corner on every settlement i see trios of Azimuth police. You have become the invaded, conquered without a single shot. Cartier City stands waving the banner, of a foreign power! A mark of shame in every other corner of the galaxy!
In response, yesterday I and fellow detachments of the Anti Club Accords pushed back and struck the Azimuth private settlement of Howarth Engineering and orbitting police forces, and allied forces have already demonstrated their lacking security at Cartier City via an explosive device, i am sure Azimuth have already had some part in downplaying or dismissing the event
It saddens me to see so many native lives lost from their actions, but this marks the start of the movement to liberate the system from the oppersors of every man woman and child, our brothers and sisters, that will stop at nothing to strengthen their grip over you"
I overhear a shout "commander, we're being jammed, wrap it up, can't spare time here", I nod in silent acknowledgement
To you all, i say
"Resist. Resist today, and resist tomorrow, and don't stop resisting until every single trace of Azimuth is erased from the system, even if it takes every ounce of your strength, don't give up!"
"That's it sir", the woman approached me, a cup of tea in hand
"Do you think they heard us?" i ask, sipping very slowly, made just the way i like it
"hope so, we can't do all the work, we need the help"
"well, how much made it off the ship, i'm speaking to the system not all of you" Sarcastically looking around
"A lot of it was broadcast, but we were fighting the jamming the entire way through. Could be garballed in some places, unheard in others, we gotta wait for word of mouth to do its thing now unfortunately"
I look down at my beverage and think of what to say next
"I think someone heard us, call it a hunch, and even if one person heard it, then we have a chance, and for as long as there is still 1 person still opposing them, even in their hearts and minds, then they have not won" I walk out to the side room to sit dowm
"Hearts and minds my friends!" I shout as i move
"That's what will win this war, hearts and minds, and all our hearts are hardened and minds sharp, we are surely unstoppable... To the revolution!"
They cheer as i leave, "For the revolution!" i heard someone shout it after me, a cheer rising
"And if" i speak to myself in private "just 1 of those people that heard picked up just 1 rifle and an ammo pack it can inspire others. If it's just 1 Rebel, then they'll spend all their time seeking out a hundred just in case, if a hundred then a million. And with a million people anything is possible"
Maybe, the liberation of Xi Wangda
