"There was a form? Damnit all, the secretary only told me to sit down - sorry 'bout that," he said, straightening out as he chose his words, taking a few seconds. "Well, name's Michael Wight, twenty-four, and uh," he stopped, hoping the Commissar wasn't convinced he was simply a liar, "Y'see, I was, well, still technically AM a Hacker. s'in, a Lane Hacker. I won't bore you with all the details unless you REALLY want me to, but long story short," he paused again, thinking of the quickest way to say it without looking like an idiot, "I was born in Bretonia, my dad was an Armed Forces pilot. When he retired, he moved me, my brother 'n' mum to Los Angelas. Things were pretty stock there, y'know, we had enough to get by. Went through school, always had a thing for computin', I mean I'm not damn whizz, but yeah. One of my friends, his dad set me up with a job with Ageira," he sighed, shaking his head, "After a while I got caught in one of Ageria's 'company cutbacks', whole bunch of us did, so we went to the Hackers 'cause it was the only place we COULD go, y'know... Anyway. Most of 'em got lost in the money - the booze 'n' the hookers, me? Well, at the end of the day I was always doin' it to mess with Ageira, make 'em look incompetent. But, y'see I just got tired of the rest, not many of them were actually doin' what the Hackers set out to do. For the lack of a better word, and at the risk of soundin' a little cliche, they got 'corrupted'," he scratched his neck a little, his voice ringing of a little shame, "Look, I won't keep natterin' on. At the end of the day, I'm here 'cause I realised that sure, there are those of us who have the means, the skill, the KNOWLEDGE to fight back. But what about those who don't, y'know? What about those other Ageira guys gettin' laid off who can't support their families or put their own damn lives at risk 'cause someone relies on them. I feel like I should be doin' what I can to help them or anyone else havin' the same problem," he finished and sighed a little, wincing both at the gun and a sharp pain that ran up his arm, probing at it with his fingers like he'd done hundreds of times before - grunting softly as the pain alluded him.

"Hmph. That's a new one. Don't believe we had a Hacker before." Finishing with the gun, she pulled the slide back, then released it. "What do you know of the Coalition?"

A wave of relief flowed through his body as he let out a loud breath, he wasn't in the green yet, but at least he wasn't dead. "What do I know? Uh," his eyes shifted up in thought as he combed his memories, "Y'know, to be totally honest, not a whole lot. All I remember 'bout the Coalition was the pilots who'd run through Liberty talkin' about how the Big Three have been screwin' us all these years. Didn't believe them much back in my Ageria days, but," he laughed a little, keeping eye contact with Sasha, "Here I am I guess. I found out 'bout this ship here through a few good days of diggin' around. But yeah, 's I said, I don't know a whole lot about the Coalition, aside from the... Communist-like background," he said, a little unsure of that little 'fact', "... and that you guys seem to look after your own and want things to be a little fairer for everyone. 'least, that's what I got from the speakers we'd run into," he added, happy with at least giving an honest answer than trying to sound more informed than he was...

"We haven't been Communist since McIntosh. Yes, we want things fairer. So, what is your drive?" Sasha then looked up. "What is your motivation? If you don't have the fire to fuel yourself, you are destined to die in this Revolution."

He smiled a little, he was certain he could answer this one, "My drive? Knowin' that there's always someone out there that ended up more screwed than I am," he said, nodding a little to himself, "Sure, I got laid off, I ended up in a crappy situation 'n' got stuck with a bunch of lost Hackers, but y'know what? It coulda been much worse, and for some people it IS," he added as his tone become far, far more serious, "If I believed what the news, the documentaries, what I'd hear from all those miners that wandered past me say, then Sirius is worse than I ever woulda thought. As I said earlier, I feel like I should be helpin' people that've been screwed like that 'cause I have the means to do so, otherwise I'd be as bad as the other Hackers I was ramblin' on about," he stopped, thinking for a moment if there was anything else worth adding. Instead he simply shook his head, as if to silently say that was all he had to say on the matter.

Han screwed up his face somewhat.

"Ah, you chose the messy option. Not only have you probably instigated a bar brawl, you have soured Zoner relations as the bartender would have witnessed your provokocation. And you've not met your mission goal which is simply to get a drink - It is the whole point of walking into a bar."
He tapped his foot.

"What would have been more appropriate is using some form of tasteless, orderless neuro-toxin. Distract them both for a moment, slip it into their drinks and watch as they both kneel over. Both die from what appears to be alcohol poisoning, Zoner relations are not soured and you achieve what you set out for in the first place - a drink."
He twirled the pistol around and puffed on the cigar once more.

"Efficient. Deadly. Total commitment to your mission. That is the way of the Coalition. You have much Rheinwehr conditioning to be removed. Tell me, what is the most effective way of bringing down "Herr Kanzler?""

"When Colonel Forge was younger, he watched cartoons. A quote from one of them remains with him to this day. 'It is better to have the means to help, and not wish to, then to wish to help and no be able to.' I see your drive; you see the Coalition as such a means to help others. But can you stomach killing? If you were thrown into a room with a Rheinwheir officer who's only crime was to become part of the Military, could you pull the trigger? Can the Fighter Corps count on you to fire and kill for the Revolution? This is apath of blood, of sweat, or pain. Of tears. Are you ready to take such a path?"

Michael rose a brow, resting his left elbow in his right hand as his finger gently ran across his lip. "Killin' is somethin' I came to terms with a long time ago, ma'am," he said in a fully certain, but wholly solemn voice. He lowered his arms, his right looking to be a little dead as it hung there. "Unless they're civilians occourse, no reason to go shootin' them up unless there's one damn good reason for it," he added, sighing as he cracked his neck. It was taxing on him, that much was obvious, though he wasn't nearly as nervous as he was when he walked in. "In all honesty, if I'd never be fully comfortable with bringin' death down on people, but as long as it's for a good reason I'm not gonna complain, 'The needs of the many' and all that. Anyway. To answer your question: Yeah, I'm ready."

Christopher felt himself involuntarily tense-up at the general's reaction, responding, "I was never an assassin Herr, I flew ships und shot mein enemies."

Exhaling Christopher continues, "Taking down Rheinhardt...? It won't be easy, there is no quick option... first you would need to gather support," He gestures with his hand, "Which you already have with das Hessians und die other revolutionary groups. The hardest part would be the ehh... propaganda machines that are part of die school system, you'd need the full support, or at least most support of die civilian populace. Full frontal assaults against die Rheinwehr Fleet would be suicide, you'd need to harass die economy."

He smirks, "Well... what's -left- of it anyways. Eventually the civilian populace would rise up against the Bundstag." He thinks before concluding, "Without the support of the civilians you could never take Rheinhardt down. You might be able to destroy Rheinland as a nation, but what is then to stop Libertonians from installing their own ruler und a militar dictatorship over das Rheinlanders?" He shakes his head, "No you'd need to leave Rheinland mostly intact, just convert das civilians to your cause. Although, if you could convince die Rheinwehr to support you, I'd imagine you'd need the civilian support first, you could take over Rheinland in a day."

Leaning back in his chair slumping back exhausted, "Und as you can probably see, apparently the propaganda of Rheinhardt runs deeper than I originally thought so the practicality of that comes into question."

Han smiled.

"I am not asking you to be an assassin. I am asking you to consider alternative ways of fighting. You will have no Rheinwehr Military with it's massive battleships to back you up. It will be you and a small team of fighters with your backs to the wall and little other support."
He listened to the officers reasoning.

"Exactly. The people are at the forefront of any revolution. Political revolution just on it's own will be doomed to failure. Hence why your Bundschuh has gotten no-where. Remember that. We fight for the people."
As his cigar began coming to it's end, He pulled out a liquid container. It was marked "Flammable". He laughed as he looked at the officer.

"Scary isn't it? Last question, get it wrong and you wish that you had entered hell for it will be so much colder. How do we inspire the people to begin revolting openly in Rheinland? The Hessians haven't managed it, why?"
