Information about Data Recorder from Mount Tam named Gut Check.
Supplemental Data of Captain Noah Grant
This is Captain Noah Grant of the 2nd Republic Ranger Battalion, Group A, Black Hawks. This is supplemental data to the stratocarier New Freedom’s flight recorder.
I will preface this message by stating that I am a career military man, and my sole duty in life is to serve the Earth Republic. I do so by following whatever orders come down the pipe.
Lately, I’m starting to wonder, though. We’ve just been assigned to escort an individual who’s not exactly the most well-liked in the universe.
I don’t put much stock into popularity contests, but I’m having difficulty swallowing a directive to escort a civilian way the hell out west for reasons unbeknownst to me.
I’m not a fan of that cloak-and-dagger stuff. The E-Rep is seen as a human force, no matter how many non-Humans we enlist. Most Votans see us as an unfriendly.
It won’t be viewed as an olive branch when we creep into a free territory with no prior notification.
I take great pride in serving the Earth Republic, but an old soldier like me gets a twist in the gut every now and then. This is one of those pangs. End transmission.
