FILE TYPE: Internal UESC Recording

TOPIC: UESC Marathon
SUMMARY: A recording of UESC Captain Orion and Officer Keleti discussing a public relations assignment from Sol.
===================================================================
TKEL: [clears throat]
TKEL: Our initial investigation into the colony has produced more questions than answers, and we—
ORION: “More questions than answers” sounds weak.
TKEL: [sighs] All right.
TKEL: UESC forces have been… successfully deployed to Tau Ceti IV.
TKEL: Our units on the ground show the colony in disarray. The… events that took place here remain opaque.
TKEL: Those who survived the various crises left behind little for us to go on.
ORION: We need to say something positive.
TKEL: Can you think of anything positive to say about this train wreck?
ORION: Mind your tone, Officer.
TKEL: Apologies, Captain.
TKEL: But why am I giving the report? Shouldn’t it all come from you?
ORION: Sulera believes you put a “nicer face” on the operation. At least for PR.
TKEL: [laughs, sighs]
ORION: Go on—something positive.
TKEL: Um… Initial recovery efforts have been costly but successful. There is much to salvage from the colony, and much to learn.
TKEL: There, optimism.
TKEL: Runners from the Sol system continue to arrive, but… they present no significant challenge to UESC efforts.
TKEL: Anyone found trespassing is promptly apprehended and detained.
ORION: Sounds nice.
TKEL: Well, that’s what Sulera wants, isn’t it? A nice lie?
ORION: Huh, yes. That’s what Sulera wants.
