A woman's face appears, pale almost in a sickly way.
"Being so short on time, Im not really sure where to begin besides the fact that Im desperate. Ill start from the beginning or as close to as I can get. Im a former officer of the Rheinwehr whose objectives lie mostly within the Stuttgart system. Most of the time my wing would defend transports trying to break free of a Hessian assaults as they carried ore for miners.
During this time our level of confrontation with pirates of any kind was rather limited because of our experience as enlisted pilots. Though, as losses mounted from time-to-time we would have to make a stand of our own. Due to the opposition we were used to, just transports we were rather inexperienced, but we managed to get by. Due to our luck with surviving enemy strikes, we were assigned to make a quick disturbance in the Dresden system.
As we entered enemy territory, there was already a wing waiting near a gravitational anomaly our scanners couldnt identify. In the matter of a minute, our wing went from eight pilots to four; two more of our ships sustaining heavy damage. We quickly began a hasty retreat the way we came, with two Hessian pilots engaging their cruise engines behind us to pursue.
Once we were a safe distance from the area our battle had just taken place, our commander ordered us to turn around and engage the enemy. Despite our damaged equipment our numbers persevered and we were able to force them to surrender. At this point I was ordered to execute them both, but I couldnt bring myself to do it. Both men had surrendered and deactivated their arms; was there really anymore need for violence?
As my internal struggle continued, the voice of our wing leader echoed through my ears. He told me by not executing those criminals that I was turning my back on the will of the gottkanzler. I continued to refuse the order to fire on our defenseless captives. As a result of my refusal my squad opened up on me; instinctively I went evasive and fired back a few rounds without thinking.
In the midst of the confusion the Hessians activated their weapons and engaged once more, destroying our commanders ship and an additional one. This left me and just one other who fled claiming he would make sure I was given what I deserved. I powered down my weapons without so much as a word; if senseless murder was the will of the gottkanzler I wanted no part in it. I closed my eyes waiting for certain death to take me, holding my breath.
I opened my eyes some minutes later to see what the delay was, but both ships were already off scanners probably having scattered back to their territory. I fired up my engines sneaking into Bering, and trading in my Military grade fighter for something a little more common on the Freeport. I came to the conclusion that civilian equipment would help me avoid attention, and have evaded capture so far; but theres nothing here for me and I cant continue to pretend I agree with the way things are ran he."
A knock on the door is heard in the background
"Im out of time!"
The video feed cuts off as a the door can be heard bursting open
