I\u2019m your host, Parker Terrell. On today\u2019s show, we\u2019re going to take a long hard look at the modern Advocacy. Committed force of good, dogged in their pursuit of justice? Or black-booted door-kickers who don\u2019t think twice about trampling the rights they\u2019re supposed to be protecting?\n\nDaniel Warden is a civilian, trying to earn a living as an independent courier in Ferron. Four months ago, he was detained by Customs agents while passing through Helios on a job. As part of the Advocacy\u2019s Operation Scimitar, Daniel was held without charge for over three weeks and subjected to endless interrogations without legal counsel.\n\nDaniel was kind enough to join me to share his story. Hello, Daniel.\n\nDaniel Warden: Hello Mr. Terrell.\n\nParker, please. So when you\u2019re ready, tell us in your own words what happened.\n\nDaniel Warden: I\u2019m on the move a lot. That much I figure you\u2019d guess, being a courier and all, but it\u2019s only that way when things are good. Things\u2019d gotten real dry among the people I knew. It was back when things were all tense with the Xi\u2019An. Anyway, I\u2019d finally gotten a line on a job running some data from a broker in Charon to one of those research bases in Odin. Guess the guy didn\u2019t trust the relays. I don\u2019t know and didn\u2019t ask. Another part of the job, you know.\n\nYes, I would imagine that discretion is an important asset in your line of work. Please continue.\n\nDaniel Warden: Anyway, it wasn\u2019t a huge run, but when you\u2019re hungry for work, you get scraps where you can. So, everything seemed to be going okay. Contacts were thin so I was making good time. Second I bounced into Helios though, my scopes just lit up. A huge cluster of local cops and Customs swarmed me, screaming at me to power down. I mean, I didn\u2019t grow up no angel, but I had never seen that kinda force without having a sneaking suspicion of why. First thing I think is that whatever I was transporting was bad news. They didn\u2019t even seem to care though. I got tossed in a holding cell for two days and they kept asking if I was trying to cross into Xi\u2019An territory.\n\nHad you set a course for one of the Transitional systems?\n\nDaniel Warden: No, sir. I\u2019d just gotten into Helios. I hadn\u2019t even set my course when I got flashed.\n\nThen what happened?\n\nDaniel Warden: Well, I just told them the truth, but no matter what I said, they weren\u2019t listening. Kept asking me about things I\u2019d never heard of and people I\u2019d never met.\n\nAnd these were local law as well as Customs Agents?\n\nDaniel Warden: No, just Customs. Advocacy didn\u2019t show up until three days in.\n\nDid the Advocacy Agent identify himself or herself?\n\nDaniel Warden: It was two of them, but no sir. I mean, they showed badges, but didn\u2019t give names.\n\nAnd what did they ask you about?\n\nDaniel Warden: Same type of stuff. Had I ever been to Nexus? Sure, I said, lotsa people had. I mean it\u2019s UEE, right? Kept asking me about different names.\n\nDo you remember any of the names?\n\nDaniel Warden: I\u2019m not sure if I should \u2026\n\nIt\u2019s all right. The only way we can hold them accountable is by presenting the truth.\n\nDaniel Warden: There were a couple, Demarque, Corso, Retha.\n\nAny idea who these people were?\n\nDaniel Warden: No. They wouldn\u2019t tell me either. Just say a name and start hammering on me with dates and locations. I didn\u2019t know what was happening.\n\nAnd they never charged you with anything?\n\nDaniel Warden: No, sir. Wouldn\u2019t let on why they had me.\n\nDid they abuse you?\n\nDaniel Warden: I mean, I\u2019m not looking to go back. It was intense, but it wasn\u2019t like they broke nothing.\n\nPlease explain the circumstances of your release.\n\nDaniel Warden: Like I said, three weeks later, some local law shows up around breakfast time. They give me my stuff and tell me to go. Courier package weren\u2019t tampered with at all. They hadn\u2019t even tried to look at the thing.\n\nHave you tried to get an explanation about your illegal detention?\n\nDaniel Warden: Sure, I comm\u2019d anyone who\u2019d listen.\n\nAnd what was the response?\n\nDaniel Warden: Hell, I\u2019m still waiting.\n\nSo what we have here is a situation where multiple levels of law enforcement detain innocent civilians without charge or legal counsel, and for what? Part of the explicit agreement that a populace enters into with its governing body is the notion that the rules apply for all. If two people break the same law, they should be punished equally. What constitutes a crime to one person should extend to everyone else. This also applies to the officials we entrust to enforce these laws. Without establishing an official cause, what happened to Mr. Warden was kidnapping, plain and simple. If we can\u2019t hold our institutions up to the same rules that we, as a public, have to obey, then it is time to restructure the institutions.\n\nWe reached out to Kristin Ward, Section Chief of Helios, as well as Director Carmody\u2019s office, to appear on the show to defend their position, but they elected not to respond.

Das sind Tugenden, die jede legitime Regierung annehmen muss, wenn sie jemals als wirklich gerecht angesehen werden will. W\u00e4hrend die kaiserliche Verwaltung sich vorstellen m\u00f6chte, dass die moderne UEE eine Verbesserung gegen\u00fcber den Schrecken der Messer-\u00c4ra ist, glaube ich anders. Ich denke, es ist einfach ein Fall von \u00e4hnlicher Unterdr\u00fcckung, gekleidet in sch\u00f6nere Kleidung.\n\nMein Name ist Parker Terrell. Ich habe mein Leben damit verbracht, der Wahrheit nachzugehen, egal wohin sie f\u00fchrt. Als Au\u00dfenreporter der New United NewsOrg dachte ich, ich h\u00e4tte eine Institution gefunden, die meine Ideale teilte. Erst k\u00fcrzlich entdeckte ich, dass sie ihre Objektivit\u00e4t aufgegeben hatten, um sich dem Einfluss der Unternehmen zu unterwerfen. Nun wende ich mich an das unabh\u00e4ngige Spectrum, um Ihnen diese Wahrheit weiterhin zu vermitteln: den anspruchsvollen, aufgeschlossenen Betrachter.\n\nDas ist die klare Wahrheit.\n\nHallo und willkommen zur Er\u00f6ffnungssendung von Plain Truth. Ich bin dein Gastgeber, Parker Terrell. In der heutigen Show werden wir einen langen, harten Blick auf die moderne Advocacy werfen. Engagierte Kraft des Guten, beharrlich in ihrem Streben nach Gerechtigkeit? Oder schwarzstieflige T\u00fcrsteher, die nicht zweimal dar\u00fcber nachdenken, die Rechte, die sie sch\u00fctzen sollen, mit F\u00fc\u00dfen zu treten?\n\nDaniel Warden ist ein Zivilist, der versucht, seinen Lebensunterhalt als unabh\u00e4ngiger Kurier in Ferron zu verdienen. Vor vier Monaten wurde er von Zollagenten festgehalten, w\u00e4hrend er bei einem Job durch Helios ging. Als Teil der Operation Scimitar der Advocacy wurde Daniel \u00fcber drei Wochen lang ohne Anklage festgehalten und endlosen Verh\u00f6ren ohne Rechtsbeistand unterzogen.\n\nDaniel war so freundlich, sich mir anzuschlie\u00dfen, um seine Geschichte zu erz\u00e4hlen. Hallo, Daniel.\n\nDaniel Warden: Hallo, Mr. Terrell.\n\nParker, bitte. Wenn du also bereit bist, erz\u00e4hle uns in deinen eigenen Worten, was passiert ist.\n\nDaniel Warden: Ich bin viel unterwegs. So viel denke ich, dass du es vermuten w\u00fcrdest, ein Kurier zu sein und so, aber es ist nur so, wenn die Dinge gut sind. Bei den Leuten, die ich kannte, war es ziemlich trocken geworden. Es war damals, als die Dinge mit dem Xi'An angespannt waren. Sowieso hatte ich schlie\u00dflich eine Zeile auf einem Job erhalten, der einige Daten von einem Vermittler in Charon zu einer jener Forschungsgrundlagen in Odin laufen l\u00e4sst. Ich sch\u00e4tze, der Typ hat den Relais nicht vertraut. Ich wei\u00df es nicht und habe nicht gefragt. Ein weiterer Teil des Jobs, wei\u00dft du.\n\nJa, ich w\u00fcrde mir vorstellen, dass Diskretion ein wichtiger Vorteil in Ihrer Branche ist. Bitte fahren Sie fort.\n\nDaniel Warden: Wie auch immer, es war kein gro\u00dfer Lauf, aber wenn man Hunger auf Arbeit hat, bekommt man Reste, wo man kann. Also schien alles in Ordnung zu sein. Die Kontakte waren d\u00fcnn, also machte ich gute Zeit. Als ich in Helios auftauchte, leuchteten meine Zielfernrohre gerade auf. Eine riesige Gruppe von lokalen Polizisten und Zollbeamten \u00fcberkam mich und schrie mich an, um mich auszuschalten. Ich meine, ich bin nicht ohne Engel aufgewachsen, aber ich hatte diese Art von Kraft noch nie gesehen, ohne einen schleichenden Verdacht zu haben, warum. Das Erste, was ich denke, ist, dass das, was ich transportiert habe, schlechte Nachrichten waren. Sie schienen sich aber nicht einmal darum zu k\u00fcmmern. Ich wurde zwei Tage lang in eine Gef\u00e4ngniszelle geworfen und sie fragten immer wieder, ob ich versuchen w\u00fcrde, in das Gebiet von Xi'An zu gelangen.\n\nHatten Sie einen Kurs auf eines der \u00dcbergangssysteme gesetzt?\n\nDaniel Warden: Nein, Sir. Ich war gerade in Helios angekommen. Ich hatte nicht einmal meinen Kurs festgelegt, als ich geblitzt wurde.\n\nWas ist dann passiert?\n\nDaniel Warden: Nun, ich habe ihnen nur die Wahrheit gesagt, aber egal, was ich gesagt habe, sie haben nicht zugeh\u00f6rt. Er fragte mich immer wieder nach Dingen, von denen ich noch nie geh\u00f6rt hatte, und nach Menschen, die ich noch nie getroffen hatte.\n\nUnd das waren sowohl das lokale Recht als auch die Zollagenten?\n\nDaniel Warden: Nein, nur der Zoll. Die Anwaltschaft tauchte erst nach drei Tagen auf.\n\nHat sich der Advocacy-Agent identifiziert?\n\nDaniel Warden: Es waren zwei von ihnen, aber kein Sir. Ich meine, sie zeigten Abzeichen, gaben aber keine Namen an.\n\nUnd wor\u00fcber haben sie dich gefragt?\n\nDaniel Warden: Die gleiche Art von Zeug. War ich jemals bei Nexus gewesen? Sicher, sagte ich, viele Leute hatten das. Ich meine, es ist UEE, richtig? Hat mich immer wieder nach verschiedenen Namen gefragt.\n\nErinnerst du dich an einen der Namen?\n\nDaniel Warden: Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob ich sollte....\n\nEs ist alles in Ordnung. Der einzige Weg, wie wir sie zur Rechenschaft ziehen k\u00f6nnen, ist die Darstellung der Wahrheit.\n\nDaniel Warden: Es gab ein paar, Demarque, Corso, Retha.\n\nIrgendeine Ahnung, wer diese Leute waren?\n\nDaniel Warden: Nein. Sie wollten es mir auch nicht sagen. Sag einfach einen Namen und fang an, mich mit Daten und Orten zu bewerfen. Ich wusste nicht, was los war.\n\nUnd sie haben dich nie wegen etwas angeklagt?\n\nDaniel Warden: Nein, Sir. Ich wollte nicht verstehen, warum sie mich hatten.\n\nHaben sie dich missbraucht?\n\nDaniel Warden: Ich meine, ich will nicht zur\u00fcckgehen. Es war intensiv, aber es war nicht so, als h\u00e4tten sie nichts gebrochen.\n\nBitte erl\u00e4utern Sie die Umst\u00e4nde Ihrer Freigabe.\n\nDaniel Warden: Wie ich schon sagte, drei Wochen sp\u00e4ter taucht um die Fr\u00fchst\u00fcckszeit ein lokales Gesetz auf. Sie geben mir meine Sachen und sagen mir, ich soll gehen. Kurierpakete wurden \u00fcberhaupt nicht manipuliert. Sie hatten nicht einmal versucht, das Ding anzusehen.\n\nHast du versucht, eine Erkl\u00e4rung f\u00fcr deine illegale Inhaftierung zu bekommen?\n\nDaniel Warden: Sicher, ich habe jedem gesagt, der zuh\u00f6rt.\n\nUnd was war die Antwort?\n\nDaniel Warden: Verdammt, ich warte immer noch.\n\nWas wir also hier haben, ist eine Situation, in der mehrere Ebenen der Strafverfolgung unschuldige Zivilisten ohne Anklage oder Rechtsbeistand festhalten, und wof\u00fcr? Teil der ausdr\u00fccklichen Vereinbarung, die ein Volk mit seinem Leitungsorgan abschlie\u00dft, ist die Vorstellung, dass die Regeln f\u00fcr alle gelten. Wenn zwei Personen gegen das gleiche Gesetz versto\u00dfen, sollten sie gleicherma\u00dfen bestraft werden. Was f\u00fcr eine Person ein Verbrechen darstellt, sollte sich auf alle anderen erstrecken. Dies gilt auch f\u00fcr die Beamten, die wir mit der Durchsetzung dieser Gesetze betrauen. Ohne eine offizielle Ursache festzustellen, war das, was mit Mr. Warden geschah, eine schlichte und einfache Entf\u00fchrung. Wenn wir unsere Institutionen nicht an die gleichen Regeln halten k\u00f6nnen, denen wir als \u00d6ffentlichkeit gehorchen m\u00fcssen, dann ist es an der Zeit, die Institutionen neu zu strukturieren.\n\nWir wandten uns an Kristin Ward, Sektionsleiterin von Helios, sowie an das B\u00fcro von Direktor Carmody, um in der Show zu erscheinen, um ihre Position zu verteidigen, aber sie beschlossen, nicht zu antworten. Zeichen f\u00fcr die neue Idee der Advocacy von Public Relations? Vielleicht.\n\nWenn wir zur\u00fcckkommen, werfen wir einen Blick auf den Kreis der L\u00fcgen um Lynch's Fieber. Bleiben Sie in der Zwischenzeit wachsam.\n\nGETRIEBEUNTERBRECHUNG","zh_CN":"START TRANSMISSION\nTruth. Facts. Clarity.
