The recorder clicks on and some slight shuffling can be heard.
"So...I guess I felt like trying this again or something, I don't know what the point is, it's not like I'm ever gonna publish this crap."
Rachel laughs quietly.
"So we're alive, that's a plus...or well, at least I think it is? So much has happened, I haven't even been back to Liberty since I left after Royal Flush, I couldn't stay there, too much bad blood, too many memories, and what was the point? The government wouldn't let us fight the war properly...couldn't take that shlock anymore. Being bound by restrictions set in place by people who've never sat in the cockpit of a fighter? who've never held a rifle in their hands? The hell with that!"
Rachel leaned back in her seat and stretched with a slight yawn before continuing.
"Of course there are definitely still terrible groups that need to be dealt with, and I'm running with an experienced crew too, to do just that, we just don't wear blue uniforms anymore."
She laughed slightly.
"House Liberty might not like it, but I'm not their play-thing anymore, I wasted too much of my life doing their bidding, and for what? It almost killed me more than once...and we barely even managed to defend our own borders! So yeah, the hell with that. This new way is better, I'll do what needs to be done, and I'll do it right."
Rachel yawns again, leaning in to turn off the recorder.
