OK, let's not mince words.
Colony Mu is weird. |

And this is why you can't make friends. |

...I've looked into their combat records. |

For the past few years, there have been no
large-scale combat engagements involving
Colony Mu. |

tq002310_msg0005 |
That in and of itself is understandable,
but... |

But we can't do that investigation survey
thing you thought up earlier, right? Back
to the drawing board then? |

tq002310_msg0007 |
Well, perhaps, but what really caught my
eye was the "wastelessness", so to speak. |

Without any big wins or losses,
not only were there no large swings
to the Flame Clock total... |

There were also no interruptions to the
colony's supply chain over the long term. |

...So? What's that prove, except
that Fiona and the others are fending
well for themselves? |

I've gotta say, that's not really
the impression I got of this place
at first glance... |

We've heard 'em chatting. They don't
really seem to talk a whole lot of training
or strategy... |
No audio available

tq002310_msg0013 |
And think about the personnel turnover...
You saw the flower garden. Notice how
young they all are...? |

Add to that the Consul's extended
periods of absence... |

Ignoring for the sake of the argument the
insecure environment, the colony's military
results couldn't really afford such stability. |

Come to think of it, didn't Fifi say
their colony rank's stayed the same...? |

tq002310_msg0017 |
Right. And the Flame Clock issue
is odd as well. |

I couldn't stop wondering what the point
of the deception was. We said we thought
it could be to fool enemies, but... |

The soldiers here aren't given information.
It's not even being manipulated, just flat
out not being supplied. |

Fiona and the others didn't seem bothered
by it, but I think in the real world, it
wouldn't do them any real favors. |
No audio available

Right, of the two sides it's actually
Fiona and the others that it affects. |

What was it Tallow said...?
Something about not stressing all the time... |

...Hold. Back the snuff up.
You're not saying...? |

The people the Consul wanted
to deceive... Was it the residents
of Colony Mu all along? |
No audio available

tq002310_msg0025 |
...There's one more thing that bothers me.
Looking at Fiona and the others, didn't
they remind you of someone? |
No audio available

tq002310_msg0026 |
They don't believe in anything beyond
what they can see in the moment, still
thinking that fighting is everything... |
No audio available

tq002310_msg0027 |
...Like we did way back when? |
No audio available
|

tq002310_msg0028 |
Right. They're so occupied with the
reality put in front of them, they don't
think of anything beyond that horizon... |

In Colony Mu's case, they don't seem
much interested in anything apart from
the banner that Fiona carries. |

True, that. Soon as it's about Fiona,
they all get super passionate... |

You think they're being used? |
No audio available

No... It's not a question of
being used or otherwise. |

I'd imagine we're also
"only seeing what we want to see". |

tq002310_msg0034 |
So that's why Fiona was appointed
commander? Because she's useful for
hiding whatever's inconvenient...? |

If the Consul had to go to such lengths to
devise this, there can be only one reason. |
No audio available

tq002310_msg0036 |
The Consul is betraying Colony Mu.
The raid we interrupted must have been
their doing as well. |

Then we've gotta tell Fifi straight away! |
