[font=Franklin Gothic Medium]"I am here because i have no other choice" Said Sergey after few seconds of thinking about his answer.
[color=#FFFF00]"I'm here because there is no way for one to hold his ideals these times. I'm going to be absolutely honest and straight with my answers, i hope that's what you expect from people who entering those doors." He was looking straight on the Coalition officer, his uniform impressed him no matter he had no idea about the meaning of all regalia and symbols on it, but he guessed that the Man in front of him was high ranked officer.
As you said, i'll try not to spread cliche monologues here. I was led by my truth in people and in the brighter future for all. Wars, racism, discrimination and other odds are separating people from each other for ages. One could have enough of it, one could surrender, or sank himself in a bottle. I'm here because i have my own way. I think that only untied people could achieve the higher grounds. I could run away from all what was wrong, just take a little ship and join some independent group. But i'm here because my choice is to fight for the revolution instead of hiding. He paused taking his thoughts together. It was critical moment in his life and the room was absolutely silent before he continued.
As i said, there is no way back for me, i'm here to give my life in hands of Premier Katz and Coalition. with these words he finished his speech.
[font=Arial narrow][color=#FFFF66]Faina sighed relief and then tried to remember the history lessons from school. Those lessons were still pretty fresh in her memory and didn't take long till she rememberd.
[color=#FFFF00]He was the first person who tried to lead the Coalition population from the Omegas. However, the Alliance discovered him and his... ambition and fought him. He lost the battle and tried to come to an agreement with them. That's the reason why he was... overthrown by Grand Admiral McIntosh. A Coalition member never surrenders.
Visibly content by her answer, Faina waited to see if the officer was agreeing.
Lee pushed back in his chair and got up. He walked over to the window and glanced out into the vast space before him. He reached for a tea kettle and two cups on the table next to the window. He promptly walked back to where the recruit was and sat down.
"This is one of the best tea in Sirius, freshly grown from Kusari." Lee implied as he filled the two cups with steaming tea.
Lee sipped his cup and pushed the other cup over to the recruit and picked up his handgun.
"Now, this all comes down to decision, and I want to see if you realize one of our many true ideals and values in which we fight and sacrifice our lives for."
Lee lifted the pistol. "You have two choices, you can either drink the tea or refuse it. It is very good tea by the way..." Lee continued, "If you make the right decision than this gun will remain silent. If not...." Lee did not need to say any more

"I would not came if i had nothing behind me to cover the.. requirements. I'm a pilot, well frankly we all are. But i'm good one, not the best, but you'll don't have to wast your time for basic trainings and stuff. My father was a pilot back in times when he was with us. I learned many things from him that can't be heard in some academy or so where old farts are collecting dusts with their 100 year old tricks and tactics. Father was a mercenary, honestly he was the only reason of our surviving when i was young. His story is long and boring, he is not with us any more, it's all the history.
I'm here not for money, not for glory of myself, not for anything of that kind. I'm here because i should."
[font=Arial narrow][color=#FFFF66]Nervous again, Faina stretched her hand to the cup but she wasn't sure if to take it or not.
[color=#FFFF00]"What's he talking about... what's the catch here?" [color=#FFFF66]she asked herself and continued to think "Maybe I shouldn't take it since it's from Kusari and Kusari is Alliance? Or... or maybe I should take it because we have equal cups... Yes, this must be it. Commissar Mendel made the same analogy when we were in the office... Cups filling each other... this is it, I'm drinking it."
She took the cup and sipped some tea. All this time, she was didn't take her eyes from the gun...
A small grin could be seen from the side of Lee's face, only barely, not visible to the naked eye.
Lee put down his gun.
"Always remember this comrade; what is mine is yours, in the Coalition we are all equal in terms of contribution. We do not believe in that petty class system to where there is a rich and a poor. Everyone in the Coalition has their place, whether as a farmer, a factory worker, or a soldier. All of them combined make up the fuel of the Coalition. This is what separates us from the greediness of governments like Liberty who strive to take the money and rewards from it's hard working citizens."
Lee paused for a few seconds, then continued speaking "Answer me this, What is the most important thing to inspire in the People to start a revolution?"

Sergey knew it's not the place and time to enter into discussions, so he moved directly to the exact question given by the Officer.[color=#FFFF00]
"Communism... Well, that's, in my honest opinion, a dream. A dream that the society shares. It's a goal. That goal is far. And shady. Covered by fog of uncertainty of the future. But patriotism, unity and trust in it moving people together towards that goal.
Each must contribute as much as he able to spare. Individual can't achieve much, only community is able to drive the things up. Communities with money based relations are not efficient enough. They are surly better then slavery and tyranny. But only man that driven by ideology that he trust in can build up a really powerful and stable community. System were he can live, work, etc.
Contributing yourself to the community, that's it." He made a pause think about what to add but decided that he said enough, time wasting is another thing there is no place and time for.
