Julio stood to attention beside the chair until Captain Thorvaldsson motioned for him to sit, at which point he did, his hands clasped on his lap. The Revolutionary Youth had taught him the merits of chain of command and self-discipline, along with the inevitable death of the Capitalist Past and forging of the People's Government through the fires of the Proletarian Revolution.

"Comrade-Captain, the Elders of Crete still maintain their rule of idiocy over the peoples of Crete, bickering among themselves rather than serving their people. I myself come from the city-slums of Heraklion and have seen the suffering. The Elders care for their own familia's and disregard all others around them as insignificant and worthless. The people yearn for the uplifting freedom of a new order, despite the fact many of them scorn the Coalition and it's ways. I pity them, but I know that eventually they will be converted, once the misconceptions that blind them are brushed aside.

"I myself, and the Banda de Revolucionarios attempted to bloody the wallet of the class-steeped regime by bombing one of the city's outlying Artifact mines that belonged to the Riviera familia. The mine was severely damaged, but my Revolutionary compadres were all either killed or had their belief broken and fled with their task incomplete during our mission's execution. Once I returned to the city, one of the Revolution's agents picked me up and sent me to Ronneburg for processing."

The Captain nodded slowly, before unbuckling the sabre and laying it flat on the desk before him. "In comrade Weise's office, I noticed you had been trained in foot drill. Where did you learn that?" He asked the question authoritatively, and Julio jumped at the opportunity to please. Any information he possessed belonged to the Coalition, true saviours of a free Sirius, as did his life.

"I belonged to 14 Detachment, The Revolutionary Youth, which was a cadet organisation created to enlighten the young men and women of Crete as to the wonders of the Communist way of life, and prepare them for a life in service to the Coalition as vanguards and guardians of the Revolution. I acheived the cadet rank of Serzhant before the Council outlawed the Coalition and the spreading of any materials related to it."
