Valkyrie frowned on the word employer. Did Liberty degenerated that bad to degrade Navy’s role to protect interests of corporations rather than to pursue safety of the people? As it would seem, errands for the corporates are of much higher priority than to actually defeat the threat she has spoken about. The Order in the past might not have been the brightest example of their mission but a thought reaches Valkyrie that Ellington refers to the current.
“Are you a mercenary or protector of Liberty?..."
She remarked, continuing.
“Not all what we do is something to be proud about. Not all our actions are necessarily in favour of Liberty. Is it that what you are trying to say here: we are not sufficiently dependent on your employers in our actions? I admit this fear is something typical and to be expected. We did not signed up for recognition or glory. However if you have some specific incident you or the executives disagree with, I may provide the explanation perhaps. Up to you if you believe our words.”
She meant the last sentence to Hartmann, not minding for some Q&A time with what could be another doubting Liberty officer. She did not really expected to win anyone’s heart and mind today, this not being anywhere close on her list for today. Yet perhaps if there is some grievance they seek answers for… there is nothing to be lost here.
