INTERVIEW: TAPE 6
07 Apr 2021CMDR Vypr
GALNET REPORTER: How do you not see yourself as the oppressor in this situation? Your organization fans local political tensions until they come to a breaking point; then swoop in and take over conflict zones. VYPR: I'm the oppressor? Euyrale is the oppressor? I'll show you an oppressor; Federal Citizens in systems like Sol or Tau Ceti. They're good citizens and pay their taxes: then a Federal Spec Ops team launches a colony raid in some remote system to hit a warlord. Yeah, so war doesn't happen for another two months; and the price of their premium brandy stays low. It's not oppression to arm people: it's oppression to snuff out their leadership and independant spirit in protection of Federal Interests. And then have the nerve to call it "intragalactic justice". These people don't have autonomous Goliath drones protecting their interests lightyears away; they don't have a war machine paid for with taxes. Where we fight; they usually don't even have an independent government or a logistical network that isn't a Federal Union. The Drone is the oppressor. The roasted insects that they feed these people is the oppressor. My presence here? We're the equalizer.
