James looked at the commissar, the coldness fading, being replaced by a look of interest.
"The Xenos? Not even on my radar, they may have semi-noble motives, but their methods are wanting, they engage in piracy to my knowledge" James spoke solemnly.
He continued to look at the commissar "Why the Coalition? Remember that friend I told you about?"
"Well, he was Kell Tainer, former Director of Order Intelligence" James said, brushing dried blood off his armor.
"I worked for him as an operative for about a year, until recently." James began again, pausing slightly, a pang of sadness flashing across his face.
"Toledo fell in a last stand against the Bounty Hunters Guild and the Nomads, the entire planet was slagged" He continued on, a sense of loss further lacing his voice.
"I was stationed on a complex on the outskirts of the nebula called Theta-7, a top secret ship research facility" He said, relaxing his stance.
"We were the first to feel the Core's attack, the entire station was lost with all hands" James continued speaking, regret entering into the mix of emotions.
"To my knowledge, I am the only survivor of the battle. I've been off grid since escaping that inferno." He ended solemnly.
"As to how I got here, I was picked up by a Zoner ship in Theta after my ship shutdown on me" He began anew, beginning to pace his position.
"I convinced them to take me here. My reason? I have worked with the Coalition in the past, before things went sour. You pursue a noble goal" James continued
"More importantly, you understand the need to limit collateral damage and protect the innocent at any cost. Something I value quite highly, and something the Director did as well." James said, turning to face the commissar once again.
"That is something that no other 'terrorist group,' as you put it, can claim." James finished.
