Yakov felt temporarily relieved at the apparent change of mood in the interview. However, he maintained his very respectful posture and tone. "Most Libertonians, especially in the government, hold stupidity as close to their chests as a mother holds a suckling." He shifts posture a bit. "I never met my Father, as he passed on before I was born. My mother's name is Clara. As for how we ended up in Northern Liberty, it is anyone's guess; including my own. Our family history is somewhat of a mystery." He prepares to shift topics again, carefully proceeding to answer the Commissar's questions in order. "I seek to join The Coalition, because I so strongly believe in her ideals. I am quite an educated man. I do not say that with pride, nor with elitism. I despise elitism." The passion in his voice rings through his short, concise sentences. "I say that because it is what has led me to the truth. Education is the way forward..true education. That will be the vanguard of the Red Dawn. When the true ideals of the founders..equality, social justice, and the beauty of true collectivism, are truly realized; we will be unstoppable as a race among the stars." He leans back slightly, as if retiring from a long, heart-felt speech. He eagerly, if somewhat obviously, awaits the Commissar's response.
