The purple-haired woman appears on screen, showing strong disapproval. She is in a room laid out with purple and teal decor and bedding. A name plaque reads out "Housing Block 40, Room 500 - Nodoka Hanamura/Marisa Kita". These words soon go out of focus as the video feed prioritizes Nodoka, who is sitting in a chair at her desk.

I'm going to start this off by stating that although I am a Freelancer, my home is Freeport 11, and given that the Zoners have grown on me quite a bit to the point where I debate on if I myself should be considered one of them, I believe that I have justification to answer this inquest by The Order on my behalf. My statement is this - I believe that we, the denizens of Freeport 11, are sick of both the Nomads using us as target practice at best, and at worst, slaughtering us, as well as the bickering we've had to deal with in regards to the both of you. The past incident in our system where weapons were exchanged, I saw from aboard Freeport 11. I applaud the efforts of those, regardless of who they align themselves with, for bravely doing so, especially those who lost their lives, for which, they have my eternal gratitude and respect. However, I digress...

She stares off into the distance, for a second. looking onward from her room onboard Freeport 11, into the stars. She continues, not looking into the camera.

I don't like the Core as much as the next person. If anything, I abhor it, and hope if and when things will settle down, that they, and I'm going to be completely blunt, and quote a old Bretonian saying - sod off from Delta. What they've done to my home is downright arrogant, and is why I have no respect for The Core outside of their sacrifices to protect others from the Nomad Threat. But I'm going to, against my ideological standpoint, side with the Head of the Confederation, and declare simply "What have you done for us lately." When the Nomads aren't slaughtering my friends here on Freeport 11 like they tried to do the other day, I rarely if ever see Order ships around here.

She looks back to the camera.
That is the reason why I'm not taking too kindly to either of you. I don't like The Core because of their Authoritarian and Aggressive ways. and I'm starting to not like you because you think us easily manipulated.
We have the facts straight, and we don't have time for [redacted] politics. If you want to convince us to not make nice with the Core, then start showing it. If you want my support, the next time I see one of whatever on God's hellscape that is this part of Sirius, that the Nomads pull out of their non-existent backends like they did last time, I want to see the Order jumping in with a fleet's worth of ships, and I think many others here on Freeport 11 would agree with me at least on the last part.

We are dealing with a threat of which the like of mankind have never seen. I already think that the Houses should at least contribute some kind of support to the effort of fighting these beasts, at least once Gallia's crown is knocked off and smashed to bits, We mustn't take the Nomad threat lightly, and that includes pathetic squabbles such as this. I would, if I were in the fighting, put my differences aside from The Core and other elements in Delta, and aided in the fight. We've lost enough lives as it is. It's time you and the Core put aside your differences for now, and realize what we realize - that constant bickering and fighting amongst all who inhabit the Omnicrons, Will eventually get us all KILLED.

End Feed.

The audio cuts out, video glitching out, only for it to also terminate a second later.
