Vex,
People have always been quick to jump to conclusions about the actions of others. The Order will paint you a traitor, The Core will paint you a hostile, and The Zoners will eventually distance themselves from you for their own gain.
Us, on the other hand, are more interested in what value you have as a person. You stood strong with your beliefs and turned on those who were your superiors, because you finally saw what those who left before you did. The Order has lost its way.
Let me break it down to you.
Over the course of the last two years, The Order has made a series of reckless mistakes. It ended in costing them Johan Lennox from The Overwatch to us. Later, it cost them an entire Osiris belonging to their intelligence division and its commanding officer, Tantalus. The ship entered service under our primary force and has remained there, while Tantalus continues to fight what you may consider the good fight against The Nomads. Later, during the same month of Tantalus' defection, another Osiris took its leave from The Order in favor of siding with the Republic of Liberty, because they all saw the same thing you do now - Golanski has been using you all for his own personal gain. Even a cruiser commander by the name of Saris saw it how it is, but lost his life trying to escape the tyranny and lies you've all been fed since Toledo.
It's unhealthy, you know. Clinging on to the past for so long and using it as righteous justification to twist an organization that was founded on the principle of stopping the overwhelming force of the alien threat. Instead, we've been doing it, or people have been left to fend for themselves. Your leadership is flawed, and the only solution is to get out from under them before it all comes crashing down.
So why you?
Because you're not afraid to stand up for what you believe in. You stick to the truth no matter who is against you, and frankly that reminded me a lot of ourselves. We've been vilified and falsely accused of doing things against The Order, Zoners, Crayterians - the list grows, but we've always kept our heads.
I see potential in you, and I'm giving you an opportunity to take that potential as far as it can go.
The choice is yours.
