[Nicole Hunter]

- Please, be my guest. - Nicole brought cigar box closer to Brand and opened it, allowing the officer to choose from several exclusive brands. Then she quickly picked up another sheet of paper. - As for the Order, it was more of a rhetoric question. Primary aimed to measure your emotional reaction. It looks like these results... - Professor passed the sheet of paper showing live analysis of brainwave patterns, pulse and amygdala's activity - ...are well within normal, which means that most likely you have a conscience and you're not yet an unapologetic fanatic incapable of reflective analysis of his actions. In other words, it is possible that when you're ordered to destroy a transport full of innocent civilians you will at least ask your superiors if they are really, really sure. - Nicole laughed for a moment and made a short pause afterwards.

- What you said sounds very nice, mr Brand. "Protect and serve common citizens." Tell me in what way the LSF improved their lives? By sabotaging Order at every possible step or by up-keeping war embargoes and shooting those who oppose them? IND and Ageira are exempt from embargoes against Rheinland, which makes them effectively monopolists in that department. Who do you serve then? Common citizens or those few who thanks to the war make billions each day. Tell me what a common citizen has gained from the war with Rheinland? You don't even hunt terrorists any more, allowing Xenos to roam free every time you detect a Rheinland vessel on the long range scanners. So please explain it all to me, as I am a bit confused. - Hacker finished her monologue and gave officer Brand a piercing look while awaiting his reponse.
