"Xeno mothers has to be tough to live in fear of loosing their children" Ronnie answered wondering if the purpose of Sonya's visit isn't making more xeno mothers loosing their sons and daughters.
As he listened to her words, Lancehead's face started becoming more and more serious and focused. He leaned forward and replied - quietly in the beginning but while talking, his voice was becoming more and more emotional, louder with every word.
"You see, that's the point. They call us terrorists. Yeah, we're destroing foreign transports. Yeah, we kill filthy LPI pigs with their pockets full of dirty credits from bribes. Yeah, we destroy the property of so called 'corporations', their automated production lines, automated defences, robots and drones. But did anyone ever listened to our reasons? No. They dont' want to know they're slaves. They don't want to know that the government steals not only their hard earned credits, but also their lifes. Those who saw it on their own, those who got fired from their jobs, those who got imprisoned for protesting... yes, these people know what's going on. They got their eyes opened. They usually can't help us though. They need help themselves. They come to our soup kitchens on Pittsburgh and Houston to get something warm to eat. That's how the government defines 'liberty'.
Instead of protecting them, it enslaves them, shackles 'em in chains and forces 'em to turn their sweat into pearls and diamonds... cigars and wine for the richest. And for those who oppose this slavery, there are LPI batons and rubber bullets. And for those who fights this slavery, they have laser beams and plasma fire!"
He snorted, dried another glass of Mother's Finest and calmed down.
"But you're a smart girl. You know that all. That's why you're here."
He smiled slightly and filled up her glass.
"Oh, and here's my boss..."
"Sonya, meet Jonathon Jones, known widely as Death Adder, Liberty's public enemy number one. Jonathon, meet Sonya Mosby, our dear guest and ex LSF officer."
