Alex waited until the man was gone. "Was kinda hopin' you'd let me hit him." Alex stares right at Koniev. "To make a difference. With the Houses enfoiled in pointless wars and doing nothing to help the people, who else is doing anything? Just pirates and marauders making life worse. Last time I checked, the Liberty Navy was busy with Rheinland, Bretonia and Kusari duking it out. What happens meanwhile? You got people suffering. Thousands evacuated off Leeds...well, that might be good, thinking about how bad Leeds is. Transports attacked daily in Liberty. And Rheinland? One thought that seems radical, you're the enemy. Kusari. Women are not equal. I know a few chicks who could take down any KNF pilot on hand-to-hand. Bretonia? Those IAB guys, hiding behind callsigns and causing trouble for people." Alex paused. "The Coalition fights for a better future. For everyone, may they be some girl on New Tokyo to a miner on Pittsburgh. I want to help make a better future, where everyone is equal."
