Bai Chandra, son of the murdered Dalibor opposition leader Bai Ru
Ladies and Gentlemen of the World Congress - I come to you in our moment of direst need. Dalibor has been sold to the highest bidder, the Hyperion Corporation, and its military arm, Cyphrus Security has brutalized and murdered its way across our nation. We are unable to stand on our own two feet, betrayed by those we called our countrymen who were so blinded by greed and lust that they opened the gates to the greatest enemy our nation has ever known - and I speak as a citizen of an ex-colonial nation, a place well acquainted with exploitation and enemies. My own father, Bai Ru, was murdered in Zaim by a man whose pockets were full of dirty money, and the blame has never gone beyond him. Our people starve and yet our pleas fall on deaf ears. I represent the wretched, ladies and gentlemen of the World Congress; I represent those who have been treated as line items in a spreadsheet. Where are the Indralans now? The Istalians? The Kazulians? Why is the world silent, the Security Council mute, this chamber empty, while children starve, women are raped, and men are summarily executed? We must have action from this body, please. Please.
