Normally on our show, we bring two experts with very different points of view together to debate the issues that are on the hearts and minds of the people of the UEE, but tonight we\u2019re going to do something a little different. Tonight we have a single guest, a guest who\u2019s been the subject of a running story for the past four months.\n\nParker Terrell appeared on Showdown! to discuss the collision of Ellis XI. Shortly after that he disappeared. Theories began to swirl: some claiming that his disappearance validated Terrell\u2019s allegations of a government run amok, with others accusing Terrell and the New United of orchestrating a publicity stunt. Those debates raged on even after Terrell was found in a small hotel in Corel.\n\nTonight, we\u2019re hoping to get some answers and get to the truth. Tonight, we welcome Parker Terrell.\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Hello. Thanks for having me.\n\nERIA QUINT: So Mr. Terrell, I suppose the obvious question is, what happened?\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Well, Eria, I\u2019ve been in the media for a long time and handled all sorts of stories. Often times, I will write stories that rub people the wrong way. It\u2019s not intentional or my goal; I just try to explore all the possibilities, look at all the possible angles and treat them with equal amounts of respect. Not everyone gets that, so I guess you could say that over the years, I\u2019ve collected quite the laundry list of enemies. Now, as I\u2019ve said before, I\u2019ve been doing this a long time, so I\u2019ve accepted it as an occupational hazard. However, after the Ellis XI story broke, and especially after my theories about the government\u2019s true role in the \u2018collision\u2019 became known, that number began to exponentially increase and it became an unhealthy type of attention.\n\nERIA QUINT: Were you being explicitly threatened?\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Yes.\n\nERIA QUINT: By whom?\n\nPARKER TERRELL: People who were threatened by what I knew. People who knew that I couldn\u2019t be bought off to bury the truth.\n\nERIA QUINT: Can you give us an example of the types of threats you would receive?\n\nPARKER TERRELL: I would rather not at this time.\n\nERIA QUINT: So then what happened?\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Well, I was leaving my apartment one morning, and I saw a suspicious looking man \u2018fixing\u2019 the ventilation systems.\n\nERIA QUINT: Suspicious how?\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Like he was tracking me. Watching my movement. As I went into the hangar space in my building, I suddenly felt this pressure in my chest and couldn\u2019t breathe. That\u2019s when I noticed that the ventilation systems were on full blast. They hadn\u2019t worked in months, and that \u2018repairman\u2019 might have put something in the vents, so I took off.\n\nERIA QUINT: What happened then?\n\nPARKER TERRELL: When you\u2019re cooking a story, sometimes you have to protect a source or finish some copy, so you pick up a lot of tricks for going dark. I knew they would be looking for my ship so I stashed it out of sight in Croshaw and hitched passage back until I found my way to Corel.\n\nERIA QUINT: If you believed yourself to be in danger, did you attempt to get help or reach out to authorities?\n\nPARKER TERRELL: That would be playing right into their hands.\n\nERIA QUINT: Let me try to understand. You noticed an uptick of harassment and had, from what it sounds like, an anxiety attack in your garage then took off. Does that sound accurate?\n\nPARKER TERRELL: I think that\u2019s a rather dismissive way to put it.\n\nERIA QUINT: Maybe \u2026 but accurate?\n\n< pause >\n\nERIA QUINT: You were released from your contract with the New United, is that correct?\n\nPARKER TERRELL: I\u2019ve moved on.\n\nERIA QUINT: They received quite a lot of criticism for this whole situation.\n\nPARKER TERRELL: I suppose, but I think they\u2019ll be okay.\n\nERIA QUINT: If I may be blunt \u2014\n\nPARKER TERRELL: You\u2019re starting now?\n\nERIA QUINT: What were you doing all that time?\n\nPARKER TERRELL: I think we\u2019re losing sight of the bigger picture here.\n\nERIA QUINT: Which is what?\n\nPARKER TERRELL: That there are bigger issues at play, much more important than what happened to me. We have a very real threat going on with the Gallen Spy Scandal. Why aren\u2019t we talking about that?\n\nERIA QUINT: Gallen has nothing to do with you.\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Really? You honestly believe that? We\u2019re talking about a government that is conducting covert operations against the Xi\u2019An. We\u2019re talking about a government that is out of control, acting with the sort of impunity and disregard for basic liberties we haven\u2019t seen since the Messer Era, and much more insidiously, which is exactly what I have been saying for months now.\n\nERIA QUINT: The Advocacy arrested you, intoxicated by the way, slapped you with a fine and released you. That hardly sounds like the treatment a threat to the Empire would receive.\n\nPARKER TERRELL: We all know that the government will use any means necessary to discredit me and my research.\n\nERIA QUINT: Clearly we need a break.

Ich bin Eria Quint. Normalerweise bringen wir in unserer Show zwei Experten mit sehr unterschiedlichen Standpunkten zusammen, um die Themen zu diskutieren, die die Menschen in der UEE bewegen, aber heute Abend werden wir etwas anderes tun. Heute Abend haben wir einen einzigen Gast, einen Gast, der seit vier Monaten Gegenstand einer laufenden Geschichte ist.\n\nParker Terrell erschien bei Showdown!, um die Kollision von Ellis XI zu diskutieren. Kurz darauf verschwand er. Einige behaupteten, dass sein Verschwinden Terrells Behauptungen \u00fcber einen Amoklauf der Regierung best\u00e4tigt habe, andere beschuldigten Terrell und die New United, einen Werbegag zu orchestrieren. Diese Debatten w\u00fcteten auch dann noch, als Terrell in einem kleinen Hotel in Corel gefunden wurde.\n\nHeute Abend hoffen wir, ein paar Antworten zu bekommen und die Wahrheit zu erfahren. Heute Abend begr\u00fc\u00dfen wir Parker Terrell.\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Hallo. Danke, dass ich kommen durfte.\n\nERIA QUINT: Also Mr. Terrell, ich nehme an, die offensichtliche Frage ist, was ist passiert?\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Nun, Eria, ich bin schon lange in den Medien und habe alle m\u00f6glichen Geschichten behandelt. Oftmals schreibe ich Geschichten, die Menschen in die falsche Richtung reiben. Es ist nicht beabsichtigt oder mein Ziel; ich versuche nur, alle M\u00f6glichkeiten zu erforschen, alle m\u00f6glichen Winkel zu betrachten und sie mit dem gleichen Respekt zu behandeln. Nicht jeder versteht das, also sch\u00e4tze ich, man k\u00f6nnte sagen, dass ich im Laufe der Jahre eine ganze Liste von Feinden gesammelt habe. Nun, wie gesagt, ich mache das schon seit langem, also habe ich es als Berufsrisiko akzeptiert. Nachdem jedoch die Ellis XI-Geschichte begann, und vor allem, nachdem meine Theorien \u00fcber die wahre Rolle der Regierung bei der \"Kollision\" bekannt wurden, begann diese Zahl exponentiell zu steigen, und es wurde eine ungesunde Art von Aufmerksamkeit.\n\nERIA QUINT: Wurden Sie ausdr\u00fccklich bedroht?\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Ja.\n\nERIA QUINT: Von wem?\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Menschen, die von dem bedroht wurden, was ich wusste. Leute, die wussten, dass man mich nicht kaufen kann, um die Wahrheit zu verbergen.\n\nERIA QUINT: K\u00f6nnen Sie uns ein Beispiel daf\u00fcr geben, welche Arten von Bedrohungen Sie erhalten w\u00fcrden?\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Ich m\u00f6chte zu diesem Zeitpunkt lieber nicht.\n\nERIA QUINT: Also, was ist dann passiert?\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Nun, ich verlie\u00df meine Wohnung eines Morgens, und ich sah einen verd\u00e4chtig aussehenden Mann, der die L\u00fcftungsanlagen reparierte\".\n\nERIA QUINT: Wie verd\u00e4chtig?\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Als ob er mich verfolgt h\u00e4tte. Ich beobachte meine Bewegung. Als ich in den Hangarraum in meinem Geb\u00e4ude ging, sp\u00fcrte ich pl\u00f6tzlich diesen Druck in meiner Brust und konnte nicht mehr atmen. Da bemerkte ich, dass die L\u00fcftungsanlagen auf Hochtouren liefen. Sie hatten seit Monaten nicht mehr funktioniert, und dieser \"Mechaniker\" h\u00e4tte vielleicht etwas in die L\u00fcftungsschlitze gesteckt, also bin ich gegangen.\n\nERIA QUINT: Was ist dann passiert?\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Wenn du eine Geschichte kochst, musst du manchmal eine Quelle sch\u00fctzen oder eine Kopie fertig stellen, also nimmst du viele Tricks mit, um die Dunkelheit zu verhindern. Ich wusste, dass sie nach meinem Schiff suchen w\u00fcrden, also verstaute ich es au\u00dfer Sichtweite in Croshaw und hakte den Durchgang zur\u00fcck, bis ich den Weg zu Corel fand.\n\nERIA QUINT: Wenn du glaubst, dass du in Gefahr bist, hast du versucht, Hilfe zu holen oder dich an Beh\u00f6rden zu wenden?\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Das w\u00e4re, ihnen direkt in die H\u00e4nde zu spielen.\n\nERIA QUINT: Lassen Sie mich versuchen zu verstehen. Du hast einen Anstieg der Bel\u00e4stigung bemerkt und hattest, wie es klingt, einen Angstanfall in deiner Garage, der dann losging. Klingt das korrekt?\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Ich denke, das ist eine eher abweisende Art, es auszudr\u00fccken.\n\nERIA QUINT: Vielleicht.... aber genau?\n\n< Pause > Pause >\n\nERIA QUINT: Du wurdest von deinem Vertrag mit den New United befreit, ist das korrekt?\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Ich habe weiter gemacht.\n\nERIA QUINT: Sie erhielten f\u00fcr diese ganze Situation eine Menge Kritik.\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Ich nehme an, aber ich denke, sie werden in Ordnung sein.\n\nERIA QUINT: Wenn ich offen sein darf -\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Sie fangen jetzt an?\n\nERIA QUINT: Was hast du die ganze Zeit gemacht?\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Ich glaube, wir verlieren hier das Gesamtbild aus den Augen.\n\nERIA QUINT: Was ist was?\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Dass es gr\u00f6\u00dfere Probleme gibt, die viel wichtiger sind als das, was mit mir passiert ist. Wir haben eine sehr reale Bedrohung mit dem Gallen Spionageskandal. Warum reden wir nicht dar\u00fcber?\n\nERIA QUINT: Gallen hat nichts mit dir zu tun.\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Wirklich? Glaubst du das wirklich? Wir sprechen von einer Regierung, die verdeckte Operationen gegen die Xi'An durchf\u00fchrt. Wir sprechen von einer Regierung, die au\u00dfer Kontrolle geraten ist, die mit der Art von Straffreiheit und Missachtung der Grundfreiheiten handelt, die wir seit der Messer-\u00c4ra nicht mehr gesehen haben, und viel heimt\u00fcckischer, was genau das ist, was ich seit Monaten sage.\n\nERIA QUINT: Die Advocacy hat dich verhaftet, \u00fcbrigens berauscht, dir eine Geldstrafe auferlegt und dich freigelassen. Das klingt kaum nach der Behandlung, die eine Bedrohung f\u00fcr das Imperium erhalten w\u00fcrde.\n\nPARKER TERRELL: Wir alle wissen, dass die Regierung alle notwendigen Mittel einsetzen wird, um mich und meine Forschung zu diskreditieren.\n\nERIA QUINT: Offensichtlich brauchen wir eine Pause.
