I\u2019m your host, Eria Quint. Almost half a year ago, Suj Kossi announced his intention to run for UEE Senate, a campaign that, if successful, would make him the first Tevarin senator in the history of the Empire. Since Kossi\u2019s announcement, he\u2019s been faced with a whirlwind of reactions. While some have applauded the Army and Navy veteran as a role model for the Tevarin community, others have been reticent, fearing that the ambitious candidate\u2019s intentions may not be entirely honorable.\n\nOur last show featured two guests who, while both supporters of Kossi\u2019s campaign, did so for different reasons. In the second part of our series, today\u2019s guests represent the opposition, but again, do so from two very different points of view.\n\nOur first guest is Quentin Koffler, freelance journalist and speaker.\n\nQUENTIN KOFFLER: Hello, Ms. Quint.\n\nERIA QUINT: And Riv Qotol, activist and member of Ori Tei, an organization dedicated to, and I quote, \u201cthe liberation of the Tevarin.\u201d\n\nRIV QOTOL: Yes.\n\nERIA QUINT: Mr. Qotol, I\u2019d like to clarify something for our audience, when you say liberation, does that mean your organization advocates violent insurrection?\n\nRIV QOTOL: That is a common misconception. Ori Tei has consistently decried violent actions done in its name.\n\nQUENTIN KOFFLER: Here we go.\n\nERIA QUINT: I would think that a Tevarin candidate would be something that your organization would embrace.\n\nRIV QOTOL: No. Suj Kossi\u2019s attempt to become a part of the institution that destroyed his culture is simply a sign of how oppressed the Tevarin have become. Believing that political service is something to aspire to, or something that we should celebrate, is sad.\n\nERIA QUINT: Mr. Koffler, you have written a series of increasingly inflammatory attacks against Suj Kossi, calling his military record into question and insinuating that he is actually an infiltrator.\n\nQUENTIN KOFFLER: I never used that word.\n\nERIA QUINT: Then please, explain.\n\nQUENTIN KOFFLER: I was simply raising the question of whether the novelty of a Tevarin senator is overshadowing his qualifications. I mean, here is an individual with a self-professed criminal background attempting to represent Human beings in one of the highest political positions in the Empire. I think it\u2019s perfectly reasonable to question his intentions.\n\nRIV QOTOL: Koffler has perfectly encapsulated why the Tevarin should abandon this infected carcass of an Empire. Kossi can\u2019t seem to grasp that he will never be anything but a criminal and a joke to these people.\n\nQUENTIN KOFFLER: To be fair, what percentage of Tevarin are actively engaged in illegal activity?\n\nRIV QOTOL: Another example of the casual intolerance we face. My people are angry. We have been subjugated to live in a society that despises us, that tried to wipe us out. What you\u2019re seeing is not criminality; it\u2019s a desire to break free. It\u2019s a sign that the spirit of the Tevarin is not as crushed as you would like to believe.\n\nQUENTIN KOFFLER: Call it what you want.\n\nERIA QUINT: But some of Kossi\u2019s political ambitions align with yours and that of Ori Tei.

To put them on display for Humans to marvel at? That is not culture, it is taxidermy. These cities should be given back to us.\n\nQUENTIN KOFFLER: Yeah.

Ich bin dein Gastgeber, Eria Quint. Vor fast einem halben Jahr k\u00fcndigte Suj Kossi seine Absicht an, f\u00fcr den UEE-Senat zu kandidieren, eine Kampagne, die ihn, wenn sie erfolgreich ist, zum ersten Tevarin-Senator in der Geschichte des Reiches machen w\u00fcrde. Seit Kossi's Ank\u00fcndigung ist er mit einem Wirbelsturm von Reaktionen konfrontiert worden. W\u00e4hrend einige den Veteranen der Armee und der Marine als Vorbild f\u00fcr die Tevarin-Gemeinschaft begr\u00fc\u00dft haben, waren andere zur\u00fcckhaltend und bef\u00fcrchteten, dass die Absichten des ehrgeizigen Kandidaten nicht ganz ehrbar sein k\u00f6nnten.\n\nUnsere letzte Show bestand aus zwei G\u00e4sten, die zwar beide Anh\u00e4nger von Kossi's Kampagne waren, dies aber aus verschiedenen Gr\u00fcnden taten. Im zweiten Teil unserer Serie vertreten die heutigen G\u00e4ste die Opposition, aber auch hier aus zwei sehr unterschiedlichen Perspektiven.\n\nUnser erster Gast ist Quentin Koffler, freiberuflicher Journalist und Sprecher.\n\nQUENTIN KOFFLER: Hallo, Ms. Quint.\n\nERIA QUINT: Und Riv Qotol, Aktivist und Mitglied von Ori Tei, einer Organisation, die sich der, ich zitiere, \"Befreiung des Tevarin\" widmet.\n\nRIV QOTOL: Ja.\n\nERIA QUINT: Herr Qotol, ich m\u00f6chte etwas f\u00fcr unser Publikum kl\u00e4ren, wenn Sie Befreiung sagen, bedeutet das, dass Ihre Organisation f\u00fcr gewaltt\u00e4tige Aufst\u00e4nde eintritt?\n\nRIV QOTOL: Das ist ein h\u00e4ufiges Missverst\u00e4ndnis. Ori Tei hat immer wieder gewaltt\u00e4tige Handlungen in seinem Namen verurteilt.\n\nQUENTIN KOFFLER: Los geht's.\n\nERIA QUINT: Ich w\u00fcrde denken, dass ein Tevarin-Kandidat etwas sein w\u00fcrde, das Ihre Organisation annehmen w\u00fcrde.\n\nRIV QOTOL: Nein. Suj Kossi's Versuch, Teil der Institution zu werden, die seine Kultur zerst\u00f6rt hat, ist nur ein Zeichen daf\u00fcr, wie unterdr\u00fcckt die Tevarin geworden sind. Zu glauben, dass politischer Dienst etwas ist, wonach man streben muss, oder etwas, das man feiern sollte, ist traurig.\n\nERIA QUINT: Herr Koffler, Sie haben eine Reihe von immer heftigeren Angriffen gegen Suj Kossi geschrieben, indem Sie seine milit\u00e4rische Vergangenheit in Frage stellten und unterstellten, dass er tats\u00e4chlich ein Eindringling ist.\n\nQUENTIN KOFFLER: Ich habe dieses Wort nie benutzt.\n\nERIA QUINT: Dann erkl\u00e4ren Sie bitte.\n\nQUENTIN KOFFLER: Ich habe nur die Frage gestellt, ob die Neuheit eines Tevarin-Senators seine Qualifikationen \u00fcberschattet. Ich meine, hier ist eine Person mit einem selbsternannten kriminellen Hintergrund, die versucht, Menschen in einer der h\u00f6chsten politischen Positionen des Reiches zu vertreten. Ich denke, es ist v\u00f6llig vern\u00fcnftig, seine Absichten in Frage zu stellen.\n\nRIV QOTOL: Koffler hat perfekt gekapselt, warum die Tevarin diesen infizierten Kadaver eines Imperiums aufgeben sollten. Kossi kann nicht begreifen, dass er nie etwas anderes sein wird als ein Krimineller und ein Witz f\u00fcr diese Leute.\n\nQUENTIN KOFFLER: Um fair zu sein, welcher Prozentsatz von Tevarin ist aktiv an illegalen Aktivit\u00e4ten beteiligt?\n\nRIV QOTOL: Ein weiteres Beispiel f\u00fcr die beil\u00e4ufige Intoleranz, der wir ausgesetzt sind. Meine Leute sind w\u00fctend. Wir wurden unterworfen, um in einer Gesellschaft zu leben, die uns verachtet, die versucht hat, uns auszul\u00f6schen. Was du siehst, ist keine Kriminalit\u00e4t; es ist der Wunsch, sich zu befreien. Es ist ein Zeichen daf\u00fcr, dass der Geist der Tevarin nicht so zerschlagen ist, wie man glauben m\u00f6chte.\n\nQUENTIN KOFFLER: Nenn es, wie du willst.\n\nERIA QUINT: Aber einige von Kossi's politischen Ambitionen passen zu deinen und denen von Ori Tei. W\u00e4hrend einer Kundgebung in der vergangenen Woche in Gotria sprach er \u00fcber den \"Wiederaufbau der Sch\u00f6nheit der Tevarinkultur\" und skizzierte einen Plan, die St\u00e4dte im k\u00fcrzlich entdeckten Kabalsystem als historische St\u00e4tten und Kulturzentrum zu etablieren.\n\nRIV QOTOL: Wof\u00fcr? Um sie zur Schau zu stellen, damit die Menschen sie bewundern k\u00f6nnen? Das ist keine Kultur, das ist Pr\u00e4paration. Diese St\u00e4dte sollten uns zur\u00fcckgegeben werden.\n\nQUENTIN KOFFLER: Ja. Das wird nicht passieren.\n\nRIV QOTOL: Ausnahmsweise einmal, glaube ich, sind wir uns einig.\n\nERIA QUINT: Wir werden eine kurze Pause einlegen, um nachzuladen, und wenn wir zur\u00fcckkommen, werden wir unsere Diskussion \u00fcber Sicherheitsbedenken in der historischen Kampagne von Suj Kossi fortsetzen.\n\nDas ist Showdown!\n\nTRANSKRIPTUMBRUCH","zh_CN":"SHOWDOWN!\nAuto-Transcript for S&P and NFSC Submission\n\nEP: 58:83 : \u201cSuj Kossi Special Part Two: The Opposition\u201d\n\nERIA QUINT: Hello and welcome to another edition of Showdown \u2013 where we tackle all issues dominating the Empire from two different perspectives.
