"I don't know why I experienced this. Maybe it was because I was more hesitant to just blindly follow my orders and take steps outside normal Navy procedure of just "kill it and move on.' Discrimination? I don't know, it's possible but I doubt it. I think it's mostly because.. well, I was smart. If something strange is going on and you're apart of some plot or something, who do you eliminate from the picture? The people smart enough to catch on and start blowing whistles. You get rid of them so you can just have the blind followers. Maybe that's why I experienced all this." Nicole sighed, collecting her thoughts yet again.
"The orders ranged from weird recon missions to being directly ordered into suicidal missions while the mission command sits back and watches. Being ordered against impossible odds despite the chance to fall back and regroup with a large attacking force. During an investigation, watching my superior officers order people to be shot for daring to ask questions against the investigation, as they have the right to. An entire vessel was seized by the Navy after a year-old deployment and struggled to make it back, and the crew was immediately taken into custody and most of them forced into either retirement or reassignment, never to tell of it again. I don't know what's going on in Liberty but it's not good."
He scribbled down a few notes before returning his attention to her. ''And if you had to venture a guess why all this is happening, and I assume it's all relatively recent, what would you say?''
"That's the part that makes me the most.. afraid. I don't know why all this is happening. I've never been able to find out, or even get a glimpse or a hint or anything. All I know is this is something that's happening and it's frightening. The amount of lives being thrown away for an unknown purpose, it's scary, and no one can get close enough to find out why." She said, taking a breath, taking a drink from a glass of water. "Liberty's gone insane.."
He smiled at her last comment, so far as he was concerned, Liberty was always insane. The inability to brew a decent cup of tea, which was not a difficult task, was concerning enough if it weren't for the fact that what they could do effectively, was produce some of the most efficient and deadly warships of any house. ''So you believe a conspiracy is afoot. Tell me what you have seen that supports this theory, have you black box recordings or photographs that support the idea that Liberty is changing for the worse?''
