Everyone, quiet down please.\n\n< gavel bang >\n\nJoining us now is Crusader Industries CEO, Kelly Caplan, who I\u2019m told has prepared a statement. You may proceed.\n\nKELLY CAPLAN: Thank you, Senator Isher. And thanks to the entire committee for inviting me to discuss the successful measures Crusader has taken to ensure the safety and security of those entering its sovereign space.\nThere\u2019s no denying that simultaneously overseeing the operations of an entire planet, its three moons, and a massive aerospace corporation is a monumental task. Since my first appearance before this committee, Crusader Industries have completed an exhaustive review of our security protocols, procedures, and personnel. Anyone found responsible or complicit in the reporting of inaccurate crime stats has been dismissed or reassigned. This includes our former head of security, who has since been replaced with Dabir Steinfeld, the highly decorated former Advocacy section chief of Terra. We\u2019re confident that this decisive action has cleared the bad actors from our organization and has returned respectability and responsibility to Crusader\u2019s security services.\nAdditionally, we\u2019ve increased security spending and introduced the \u201cCrusader Cares\u201d initiative, which has substantially expanded the number of active private security contractors partnered with us. These measures, combined with more robust deep space scanning operations, have improved our data collection process and shed further light on the safety of Crusader\u2019s sovereign space. The crime stats I submit to you today demonstrate the positive effect these initiatives have had.\nConsidering the extensive progress made over the last fifteen months, I would humbly ask you to make Crusader\u2019s future appearances before this committee voluntary instead of mandatory. I believe that we have demonstrated a dedication to changing our corporate culture and an ability to quickly address and correct previous issues. I believe the changes mentioned above, and my extensive cooperation with this committee, warrant the normalization of Crusader\u2019s oversight status to the standards currently applied to the other corporate-owned planets in the Stanton system.\nThank you again for having me here today and considering my request. I\u2019m now prepared to answer any questions you may have about Crusader\u2019s most recent security report.\nSENATOR YANN ISHER (C \u2013 Angeli \u2013 Croshaw Sys): Thank you, Ms. Caplan. I\u2019m scanning the report now and the crime stats appear to be quite thorough.\n\nKELLY CAPLAN: Thank you, Senator Isher.\nSENATOR YANN ISHER (C \u2013 Angeli \u2013 Croshaw Sys): That said, I do wish they had been delivered to us prior to this hearing, so I could have given them more than a cursory glance before asking you about them.\n\nKELLY CAPLAN: I accept responsibility for that, Senator. In an effort to provide the committee with the most up-to-date data, I requested that yesterday\u2019s numbers be included in this report. Updating it took longer than expected.\nSENATOR YANN ISHER (C \u2013 Angeli \u2013 Croshaw Sys): Since we have limited time today, I will stop wasting it and open the floor to questions. Senator Harren, you may proceed.\n\nSENATOR CLAY HARREN (U \u2013 Kampos \u2013 Ellis Sys): Thank you, Chairperson Isher. And thank you Ms. Caplan for once again gracing us with your presence. Most people in your position would simply send their head of security to face questions from this committee. I consider your appearance today, and in all the previous hearings, as emblematic of Crusader\u2019s commitment to rectifying these issues.\n\nKELLY CAPLAN: Thank you, Senator Harren. You don\u2019t remain a CEO for 86 years by avoiding your responsibilities.\nSENATOR CLAY HARREN (U \u2013 Kampos \u2013 Ellis Sys): Now, regarding the recent report, it says here that crime around Crusader occurs at a rate comparable to the other planets in the Stanton system. Am I reading that right?\n\nKELLY CAPLAN: Yes, Senator, you are. Headlines proclaiming that \u201ccrime is on the rise\u201d are a bit misleading. We\u2019ve updated and refined our data collection protocols to more accurately track what\u2019s occurring. I believe, as well as many experts, that the increase in reported incidents merely reflects an increase in reporting and not an actual increase in crime rate.\nSENATOR CLAY HARREN (U \u2013 Kampos \u2013 Ellis Sys): So you\u2019re telling me that after fifteen months of intense scrutiny by the committee, Crusader has improved its data collection process to show that its protecting its planet as well as most other governing bodies?\n\nKELLY CAPLAN: The comparison made in the report specifically refers to the other planets in Stanton. Basically, despite all the noise on spectrum over the last year, Crusader is statistically no more dangerous than any other world in the system.\nSENATOR CLAY HARREN (U \u2013 Kampos \u2013 Ellis Sys): It\u2019s quite clear to me that Ms. Caplan has aptly steered Crusader through this unfortunate incident and installed new policies to ensure it won\u2019t happen again. With that in mind, I believe that continued oversight by this committee, including these mandatory hearing, is unnecessary from here forward.\n\nThat\u2019s why I\u2019m requesting that this committee vote to normalize the oversight of Crusader to bring it back in line with the other planets in the system.\n\nSENATOR OCTAVIA BEATE (U \u2013 Asura \u2013 Ferron Sys): I second the motion.\n\nSENATOR CLAY HARREN (U \u2013 Kampos \u2013 Ellis Sys): Chairperson Isher, can we proceed with a vote on this issue?\n\nSENATOR KELOS ALBERVAR (T \u2013 Terra \u2013 Terra Sys): Wait a minute. Voting to relinquish that oversight before thoroughly questioning Ms. Caplan today is absurd.\n\nSENATOR CLAY HARREN (U \u2013 Kampos \u2013 Ellis Sys): Senator Albervar, this is Ms. Caplan\u2019s fourth appearance before this committee within the last 15 months. She\u2019s answered every question asked of her, no matter how hostile, and supplied extensive documentation tracking Crusader\u2019s progress. To continue looking over her shoulder feels like a waste of the government\u2019s time and resources.\n\nSENATOR KELOS ALBERVAR (T \u2013 Terra \u2013 Terra Sys): And you came to that conclusion based on the report distributed to us only moments ago?\n\nSENATOR CLAY HARREN (U \u2013 Kampos \u2013 Ellis Sys): Ms. Caplan, do you stand by the numbers presented today?\n\nKELLY CAPLAN: I can personally attest to the accuracy of those numbers, as can the two independent analytics agencies hired to verify them.\nSENATOR KELOS ALBERVAR (T \u2013 Terra \u2013 Terra Sys): Need I remind this committee that Crusader is here because it was caught falsifying crime statistics? To blindly accept the report given to us moments before this session would be a grave dereliction of duty.\n\nFor years, Crusader systematically and knowingly lied about the dangers of entering its sovereign space. These inflated safety rankings allowed it to attract more tourists and keep security spending low.\n\nSENATOR CLAY HARREN (U \u2013 Kampos \u2013 Ellis Sys): And I would like to remind you that the company has accepted full responsibility for its actions, paid all fines levied against it, and significantly increased spending on its security forces and private contractors. Aren\u2019t these the outcomes this committee set out to achieve?\n\nSENATOR KELOS ALBERVAR (T \u2013 Terra \u2013 Terra Sys): Only if the numbers given to us are accurate. If you recall, my proposal to send UEE assessors to independently gather data was rejected by this committee last year.\n\nSENATOR CLAY HARREN (U \u2013 Kampos \u2013 Ellis Sys): Yes, because it would\u2019ve been a complete waste of taxpayer credits when Crusader is already providing us all the raw data.\n\nSENATOR KELOS ALBERVAR (T \u2013 Terra \u2013 Terra Sys): Again, trusting the data supplied to us by a company that admitted to falsifying information is absolutely insane. It\u2019s not oversight, it\u2019s acquiescence. As is allowing these corporations to masquerade as government bodies in exchange for money.\n\nSENATOR CLAY HARREN (U \u2013 Kampos \u2013 Ellis Sys): Look, Senator, I understand that being seen on the spectrum standing up to a large corporation like Crusader is politically advantageous to you, but that\u2019s no reas\u2014\n\nSENATOR KELOS ALBERVAR (T \u2013 Terra \u2013 Terra Sys): Excuse me, sir. How dare you suggest\u2014\n\nSENATOR YANN ISHER (C \u2013 Angeli \u2013 Croshaw Sys): < gavel bang > That\u2019s enough you two. Senator Harren\u2019s motion to return to the normal oversight of Crusader will be voted on at the conclusion of today\u2019s session.\n\nSENATOR KELOS ALBERVAR (T \u2013 Terra \u2013 Terra Sys): Thank you, Chairperson Isher.\n\nSENATOR YANN ISHER (C \u2013 Angeli \u2013 Croshaw Sys): Senator Harren, do you have any further questions for Ms. Caplan?\n\nSENATOR CLAY HARREN (U \u2013 Kampos \u2013 Ellis Sys): I do not.\n\nSENATOR YANN ISHER (C \u2013 Angeli \u2013 Croshaw Sys): Very well. Does anyone else have questions for Mrs. Caplan? Senator Albervar, you may proceed.\n\nSENATOR KELOS ALBERVAR (T \u2013 Terra \u2013 Terra Sys): Thank you, Chairperson Isher. Ms. Caplan, what can you tell me about Jumptown?\n\n< muffled speaking >\n\nKELLY CAPLAN: I\u2019m sorry Senator, could you repeat the question?\nSENATOR KELOS ALBERVAR (T \u2013 Terra \u2013 Terra Sys): This report appears to claim that Crusader has become better at tracking crime within its sovereign space. Yet, my staff on Sol were able to uncover repeated criminal activity at a location known colloquially as Jumptown on the Crusader-controlled moon of Yela.\n\nMy question is, are you familiar with the location, and why has nothing been done about the criminal activity there?\n\nKELLY CAPLAN: < muffled speaking > Chairperson Isher, I\u2019d like to request a five minute recess to use the facilities. Could I also get a refill on my water? As you can see, I\u2019ve drank all of it already.\nSENATOR YANN ISHER (C \u2013 Angeli \u2013 Croshaw Sys): < gavel bang > Granted. Everyone, consider this a tight five. Once we\u2019re back, we\u2019ll proceed with Senator Albervar\u2019s questions.\n\n<< END TRANSCRIPT EXCERPT >>\n\nThis article was updated on 4 December 2020 to change Caplan\u2019s tenure as CEO from 43 to 86 years.","de_DE":"UEE-Kongress[398]\nAUSSCHUSS F\u00dcR DAS INNENLEBEN\n2949-03-19-19 SATZ\n\nSession AutoScript\nGepr\u00fcft und zugelassen - Assistentin Archivarin Burg (#748392BDF)\n2949-03-19_13:36 - Wiederaufnahme der Sitzung\nSENATOR YANN ISHER (C - Angeli - Croshaw Sys): Der Innenausschuss des Senats tagt wieder. Alle, beruhigt euch bitte.\n\n< Hammerknall >\n\nJetzt schlie\u00dft sich uns Crusader Industries CEO Kelly Caplan an, von der mir gesagt wird, dass sie eine Erkl\u00e4rung vorbereitet hat. Sie k\u00f6nnen fortfahren.\n\nKELLY CAPLAN: Danke, Senator Isher. Und vielen Dank an den gesamten Ausschuss, der mich eingeladen hat, um \u00fcber die erfolgreichen Ma\u00dfnahmen zu sprechen, die Crusader ergriffen hat, um die Sicherheit derjenigen zu gew\u00e4hrleisten, die in seinen souver\u00e4nen Raum eintreten.\nEs ist unbestreitbar, dass die gleichzeitige \u00dcberwachung der Operationen eines ganzen Planeten, seiner drei Monde und eines riesigen Luft- und Raumfahrtkonzerns eine monumentale Aufgabe ist. Seit meinem ersten Auftritt vor diesem Ausschuss hat Crusader Industries eine umfassende \u00dcberpr\u00fcfung unserer Sicherheitsprotokolle, -verfahren und -personal abgeschlossen. Jeder, der bei der Berichterstattung \u00fcber ungenaue Kriminalit\u00e4tsstatistiken als verantwortlich oder mitschuldig befunden wird, wurde entlassen oder neu zugewiesen. Dazu geh\u00f6rt auch unser ehemaliger Sicherheitschef, der inzwischen durch Dabir Steinfeld, den hochdekorierten ehemaligen Abteilungsleiter der Advocacy von Terra, ersetzt wurde. Wir sind zuversichtlich, dass diese entscheidende Ma\u00dfnahme die schlechten Akteure aus unserem Unternehmen herausgel\u00f6st und den Sicherheitsdiensten von Crusader Seriosit\u00e4t und Verantwortung zur\u00fcckgegeben hat.\nDar\u00fcber hinaus haben wir die Sicherheitsausgaben erh\u00f6ht und die Initiative \"Crusader Cares\" eingef\u00fchrt, die die Zahl der aktiven privaten Sicherheitsdienstleister, die mit uns zusammenarbeiten, deutlich erh\u00f6ht hat. Diese Ma\u00dfnahmen, kombiniert mit robusteren Deep Space Scanning Operationen, haben unseren Datenerhebungsprozess verbessert und bringen weiteres Licht in die Sicherheit des souver\u00e4nen Raums von Crusader. Die Kriminalit\u00e4tsstatistiken, die ich Ihnen heute vorlege, zeigen, wie positiv sich diese Initiativen ausgewirkt haben.\nIn Anbetracht der umfangreichen Fortschritte, die in den letzten f\u00fcnfzehn Monaten erzielt wurden, m\u00f6chte ich Sie dem\u00fctig bitten, die zuk\u00fcnftigen Auftritte von Kreuzritter vor diesem Ausschuss nicht obligatorisch, sondern freiwillig zu gestalten. Ich glaube, dass wir ein Engagement f\u00fcr die Ver\u00e4nderung unserer Unternehmenskultur gezeigt haben und in der Lage sind, fr\u00fchere Probleme schnell anzugehen und zu korrigieren. Ich glaube, dass die oben genannten \u00c4nderungen und meine umfassende Zusammenarbeit mit diesem Ausschuss die Normalisierung des Aufsichtsstatus von Crusader auf die Standards rechtfertigen, die derzeit f\u00fcr die anderen unternehmenseigenen Planeten im Stanton-System gelten.\nNochmals vielen Dank, dass ich heute hier bin und meine Anfrage ber\u00fccksichtigt habe. Ich bin jetzt bereit, alle Fragen zu beantworten, die Sie \u00fcber den j\u00fcngsten Sicherheitsbericht von Crusader haben.\nSENATOR YANN ISHER (C - Angeli - Croshaw Sys): Danke, Frau Caplan. Ich scanne den Bericht jetzt und die Kriminalit\u00e4tsstatistiken scheinen ziemlich gr\u00fcndlich zu sein.\n\nKELLY CAPLAN: Danke, Senator Isher.\nSENATOR YANN ISHER (C - Angeli - Croshaw Sys): Allerdings w\u00fcnsche ich mir, dass sie uns vor dieser Anh\u00f6rung zugestellt worden w\u00e4ren, so dass ich ihnen mehr als nur einen fl\u00fcchtigen Blick h\u00e4tte geben k\u00f6nnen, bevor ich Sie nach ihnen frage.\n\nKELLY CAPLAN: Ich \u00fcbernehme die Verantwortung daf\u00fcr, Senator. Um dem Ausschuss die aktuellsten Daten zur Verf\u00fcgung zu stellen, habe ich darum gebeten, die Zahlen von gestern in diesen Bericht aufzunehmen. Die Aktualisierung dauerte l\u00e4nger als erwartet.\nSENATOR YANN ISHER (C - Angeli - Croshaw Sys): Da wir heute wenig Zeit haben, werde ich aufh\u00f6ren, sie zu verschwenden und das Wort f\u00fcr Fragen \u00f6ffnen. Senator Harren, Sie k\u00f6nnen fortfahren.\n\nSENATOR CLAY HARREN (U - Kampos - Ellis Sys): Danke, Frau Vorsitzende Isher. Und vielen Dank, dass Sie, Frau Caplan, uns wieder einmal mit Ihrer Anwesenheit beehren. Die meisten Leute in Ihrer Position w\u00fcrden einfach ihren Sicherheitschef schicken, um Fragen von diesem Ausschuss zu stellen. Ich betrachte deinen Auftritt heute und in allen fr\u00fcheren Anh\u00f6rungen als Symbol f\u00fcr das Engagement von Kreuzritter, diese Probleme zu l\u00f6sen.\n\nKELLY CAPLAN: Danke, Senator Harren. Sie bleiben 43 Jahre lang nicht CEO, indem Sie sich Ihrer Verantwortung entziehen.\nSENATOR CLAY HARREN (U - Kampos - Ellis Sys): Nun, was den j\u00fcngsten Bericht betrifft, so hei\u00dft es hier, dass das Verbrechen um Kreuzritter mit einer Geschwindigkeit auftritt, die mit den anderen Planeten im Stanton-System vergleichbar ist. Lese ich das richtig?\n\nKELLY CAPLAN: Ja, Senator, das sind Sie. Schlagzeilen, die behaupten, dass \"die Kriminalit\u00e4t zunimmt\", sind etwas irref\u00fchrend. Wir haben unsere Datenerfassungsprotokolle aktualisiert und verfeinert, um die Vorg\u00e4nge genauer zu verfolgen. Ich glaube, wie viele Experten, dass die Zunahme der gemeldeten Vorf\u00e4lle lediglich eine Zunahme der Berichterstattung und nicht eine tats\u00e4chliche Zunahme der Kriminalit\u00e4t widerspiegelt.\nSENATOR CLAY HARREN (U - Kampos - Ellis Sys): Sie sagen mir also, dass Crusader nach f\u00fcnfzehn Monaten intensiver Pr\u00fcfung durch den Ausschuss seinen Datenerhebungsprozess verbessert hat, um zu zeigen, dass er seinen Planeten und die meisten anderen Leitungsorgane sch\u00fctzt?\n\nKELLY CAPLAN: Der im Bericht gemachte Vergleich bezieht sich speziell auf die anderen Planeten in Stanton. Im Grunde genommen ist Crusader trotz all der St\u00f6rungen im Spektrum im letzten Jahr statistisch gesehen nicht gef\u00e4hrlicher als jede andere Welt im System.\nSENATOR CLAY HARREN (U - Kampos - Ellis Sys): Es ist mir ganz klar, dass Frau Caplan den Kreuzritter geschickt durch diesen ungl\u00fccklichen Vorfall gef\u00fchrt und neue Richtlinien installiert hat, um sicherzustellen, dass es nicht wieder passiert. In Anbetracht dessen bin ich der Meinung, dass eine weitere \u00dcberwachung durch diesen Ausschuss, einschlie\u00dflich dieser obligatorischen Anh\u00f6rung, von hier an unn\u00f6tig ist.\n\nDeshalb bitte ich darum, dass dieser Ausschuss abstimmt, um die Aufsicht \u00fcber den Kreuzritter zu normalisieren, um ihn wieder in Einklang mit den anderen Planeten im System zu bringen.\n\nSenator OCTAVIA BEATE (U - Asura - Ferron Sys): Ich unterst\u00fctze den Antrag.\n\nSENATOR CLAY HARREN (U - Kampos - Ellis Sys): Frau Vorsitzende Isher, k\u00f6nnen wir mit der Abstimmung \u00fcber dieses Thema fortfahren?\n\nSenator KELOS ALBERVAR (T - Terra - Terra - Terra Sys): Warte einen Moment. Es ist absurd, heute daf\u00fcr zu stimmen, diese Aufsicht aufzugeben, bevor man Frau Caplan gr\u00fcndlich befragt.\n\nSENATOR CLAY HARREN (U - Kampos - Ellis Sys): Senator Albervar, dies ist Frau Caplans vierter Auftritt vor diesem Ausschuss innerhalb der letzten 15 Monate. Sie hat jede Frage beantwortet, die ihr gestellt wurde, egal wie feindselig sie auch sein mag, und umfangreiche Unterlagen geliefert, die den Fortschritt von Crusader verfolgen. Ihr weiterhin \u00fcber die Schulter zu schauen, f\u00fchlt sich an wie eine Verschwendung von Zeit und Ressourcen der Regierung.\n\nSenator KELOS ALBERVAR (T - Terra - Terra - Terra Sys): Und Sie sind zu diesem Schluss gekommen, basierend auf dem Bericht, der uns erst vor wenigen Augenblicken \u00fcbermittelt wurde?\n\nSENATOR CLAY HARREN (U - Kampos - Ellis Sys): Frau Caplan, stehen Sie zu den heute vorgestellten Zahlen?\n\nKELLY CAPLAN: Ich kann die Richtigkeit dieser Zahlen pers\u00f6nlich best\u00e4tigen, ebenso wie die beiden unabh\u00e4ngigen Analytikunternehmen, die beauftragt wurden, sie zu \u00fcberpr\u00fcfen.\nSenator KELOS ALBERVAR (T - Terra - Terra - Terra Sys): Muss ich diesen Ausschuss daran erinnern, dass Kreuzritter hier sind, weil sie bei der F\u00e4lschung von Kriminalit\u00e4tsstatistiken erwischt wurden? Den uns kurz vor dieser Sitzung vorgelegten Bericht blind anzunehmen, w\u00e4re eine schwere Pflichtverletzung.\n\nJahrelang l\u00fcgte Crusader systematisch und bewusst \u00fcber die Gefahren des Betretens seines souver\u00e4nen Raumes. Diese \u00fcberh\u00f6hten Sicherheitsrankings erm\u00f6glichten es, mehr Touristen anzuziehen und die Sicherheitsausgaben niedrig zu halten.\n\nSENATOR CLAY HARREN (U - Kampos - Ellis Sys): Und ich m\u00f6chte Sie daran erinnern, dass das Unternehmen die volle Verantwortung f\u00fcr sein Handeln \u00fcbernommen, alle gegen es verh\u00e4ngten Geldbu\u00dfen bezahlt und die Ausgaben f\u00fcr seine Sicherheitskr\u00e4fte und privaten Auftragnehmer deutlich erh\u00f6ht hat. Sind das nicht die Ergebnisse, die dieser Ausschuss erreichen wollte?\n\nSenator KELOS ALBERVAR (T - Terra - Terra - Terra Sys): Nur wenn die uns angegebenen Zahlen korrekt sind. Wenn Sie sich erinnern, wurde mein Vorschlag, UEE-Assessoren zur unabh\u00e4ngigen Datenerfassung zu entsenden, letztes Jahr von diesem Ausschuss abgelehnt.\n\nSENATOR CLAY HARREN (U - Kampos - Ellis Sys): Ja, denn es w\u00e4re eine komplette Verschwendung von Steuerzahlerkrediten gewesen, wenn Crusader uns bereits alle Rohdaten zur Verf\u00fcgung gestellt h\u00e4tte.\n\nSenator KELOS ALBERVAR (T - Terra - Terra - Terra Sys): Auch hier ist das Vertrauen in die Daten, die uns von einem Unternehmen zur Verf\u00fcgung gestellt werden, das zugegebenerma\u00dfen Informationen gef\u00e4lscht hat, absolut verr\u00fcckt. Es ist kein Versehen, es ist Duldung. So wie es diesen Unternehmen erlaubt ist, sich als Regierungsbeh\u00f6rden gegen Geld zu verkleiden.\n\nSENATOR CLAY HARREN (U - Kampos - Ellis Sys): Schau, Senator, ich verstehe, dass es f\u00fcr dich politisch vorteilhaft ist, auf dem Spektrum gesehen zu werden, das gegen ein gro\u00dfes Unternehmen wie Crusader steht, aber das ist kein Problem.\n\nSenator KELOS ALBERVAR (T - Terra - Terra - Terra Sys): Entschuldigen Sie mich, Sir. Wie kannst du es wagen, einen Vorschlag zu machen?\n\nSENATOR YANN ISHER (C - Angeli - Croshaw Sys): < Hammerknall > Das reicht euch beiden. Der Antrag von Senator Harren, zur normalen Aufsicht \u00fcber Kreuzritter zur\u00fcckzukehren, wird am Ende der heutigen Sitzung zur Abstimmung gestellt.\n\nSenator KELOS ALBERVAR (T - Terra - Terra - Terra Sys): Danke, Frau Vorsitzende Isher.\n\nSENATOR YANN ISHER (C - Angeli - Croshaw Sys): Senator Harren, haben Sie weitere Fragen an Frau Caplan?\n\nSENATOR CLAY HARREN (U - Kampos - Ellis Sys): Das tue ich nicht.\n\nSENATOR YANN ISHER (C - Angeli - Croshaw Sys): Sehr gut. Hat sonst noch jemand Fragen an Frau Caplan? Senator Albervar, Sie k\u00f6nnen fortfahren.\n\nSenator KELOS ALBERVAR (T - Terra - Terra - Terra Sys): Danke, Frau Vorsitzende Isher. Frau Caplan, was k\u00f6nnen Sie mir \u00fcber Jumptown sagen?\n\n< ged\u00e4mpftes Sprechen >\n\nKELLY CAPLAN: Es tut mir leid, Senator, k\u00f6nnten Sie die Frage wiederholen?\nSenator KELOS ALBERVAR (T - Terra - Terra - Terra Sys): Dieser Bericht scheint zu behaupten, dass Crusader besser darin geworden ist, Verbrechen in seinem souver\u00e4nen Raum zu verfolgen. Doch meine Mitarbeiter auf Sol konnten wiederholte kriminelle Aktivit\u00e4ten an einem Ort aufdecken, der umgangssprachlich als Jumptown auf dem von Kreuzrittern kontrollierten Mond von Yela bekannt ist.\n\nMeine Frage lautet: Sind Sie mit dem Standort vertraut, und warum wurde nichts gegen die kriminelle Aktivit\u00e4t dort unternommen?\n\nKELLY CAPLAN: < ged\u00e4mpftes Sprechen > Vorsitzender Isher, m\u00f6chte ich eine f\u00fcnfmin\u00fctige Pause beantragen, um die Einrichtungen zu nutzen. K\u00f6nnte ich auch eine Nachf\u00fcllung meines Wassers bekommen? Wie du sehen kannst, habe ich alles schon getrunken.\nSENATOR YANN ISHER (C - Angeli - Croshaw Sys): < Hammerknall > Zugegeben. An alle, betrachtet das als eine knappe F\u00fcnf. Sobald wir zur\u00fcck sind, werden wir mit den Fragen von Senator Abervar fortfahren.\n\n<<< ENDE TRANSKRIPT-AUSZUG >>","zh_CN":"UEE Congress [398]\nCOMMITTEE ON THE INTERIOR\n2949-03-19 SET\n\nSession AutoScript\nProofed and Admitted \u2014 Assistant Archivist Burg (#748392BDF)\n2949-03-19_13:36 \u2013 Session Resumes\nSENATOR YANN ISHER (C \u2013 Angeli \u2013 Croshaw Sys): The Senate Committee on the Interior is back in session.

Most people in your position would simply send their head of security to face questions from this committee. I consider your appearance today, and in all the previous hearings, as emblematic of Crusader\u2019s commitment to rectifying these issues.\n\nKELLY CAPLAN: Thank you, Senator Harren. You don\u2019t remain a CEO for 86 years by avoiding your responsibilities.\nSENATOR CLAY HARREN (U \u2013 Kampos \u2013 Ellis Sys): Now, regarding the recent report, it says here that crime around Crusader occurs at a rate comparable to the other planets in the Stanton system. Am I reading that right?\n\nKELLY CAPLAN: Yes, Senator, you are. Headlines proclaiming that \u201ccrime is on the rise\u201d are a bit misleading. We\u2019ve updated and refined our data collection protocols to more accurately track what\u2019s occurring. I believe, as well as many experts, that the increase in reported incidents merely reflects an increase in reporting and not an actual increase in crime rate.\nSENATOR CLAY HARREN (U \u2013 Kampos \u2013 Ellis Sys): So you\u2019re telling me that after fifteen months of intense scrutiny by the committee, Crusader has improved its data collection process to show that its protecting its planet as well as most other governing bodies?\n\nKELLY CAPLAN: The comparison made in the report specifically refers to the other planets in Stanton. Basically, despite all the noise on spectrum over the last year, Crusader is statistically no more dangerous than any other world in the system.\nSENATOR CLAY HARREN (U \u2013 Kampos \u2013 Ellis Sys): It\u2019s quite clear to me that Ms. Caplan has aptly steered Crusader through this unfortunate incident and installed new policies to ensure it won\u2019t happen again. With that in mind, I believe that continued oversight by this committee, including these mandatory hearing, is unnecessary from here forward.\n\nThat\u2019s why I\u2019m requesting that this committee vote to normalize the oversight of Crusader to bring it back in line with the other planets in the system.\n\nSENATOR OCTAVIA BEATE (U \u2013 Asura \u2013 Ferron Sys): I second the motion.\n\nSENATOR CLAY HARREN (U \u2013 Kampos \u2013 Ellis Sys): Chairperson Isher, can we proceed with a vote on this issue?\n\nSENATOR KELOS ALBERVAR (T \u2013 Terra \u2013 Terra Sys): Wait a minute. Voting to relinquish that oversight before thoroughly questioning Ms. Caplan today is absurd.\n\nSENATOR CLAY HARREN (U \u2013 Kampos \u2013 Ellis Sys): Senator Albervar, this is Ms. Caplan\u2019s fourth appearance before this committee within the last 15 months. She\u2019s answered every question asked of her, no matter how hostile, and supplied extensive documentation tracking Crusader\u2019s progress. To continue looking over her shoulder feels like a waste of the government\u2019s time and resources.\n\nSENATOR KELOS ALBERVAR (T \u2013 Terra \u2013 Terra Sys): And you came to that conclusion based on the report distributed to us only moments ago?\n\nSENATOR CLAY HARREN (U \u2013 Kampos \u2013 Ellis Sys): Ms. Caplan, do you stand by the numbers presented today?\n\nKELLY CAPLAN: I can personally attest to the accuracy of those numbers, as can the two independent analytics agencies hired to verify them.\nSENATOR KELOS ALBERVAR (T \u2013 Terra \u2013 Terra Sys): Need I remind this committee that Crusader is here because it was caught falsifying crime statistics? To blindly accept the report given to us moments before this session would be a grave dereliction of duty.\n\nFor years, Crusader systematically and knowingly lied about the dangers of entering its sovereign space. These inflated safety rankings allowed it to attract more tourists and keep security spending low.\n\nSENATOR CLAY HARREN (U \u2013 Kampos \u2013 Ellis Sys): And I would like to remind you that the company has accepted full responsibility for its actions, paid all fines levied against it, and significantly increased spending on its security forces and private contractors. Aren\u2019t these the outcomes this committee set out to achieve?\n\nSENATOR KELOS ALBERVAR (T \u2013 Terra \u2013 Terra Sys): Only if the numbers given to us are accurate. If you recall, my proposal to send UEE assessors to independently gather data was rejected by this committee last year.\n\nSENATOR CLAY HARREN (U \u2013 Kampos \u2013 Ellis Sys): Yes, because it would\u2019ve been a complete waste of taxpayer credits when Crusader is already providing us all the raw data.\n\nSENATOR KELOS ALBERVAR (T \u2013 Terra \u2013 Terra Sys): Again, trusting the data supplied to us by a company that admitted to falsifying information is absolutely insane. It\u2019s not oversight, it\u2019s acquiescence. As is allowing these corporations to masquerade as government bodies in exchange for money.\n\nSENATOR CLAY HARREN (U \u2013 Kampos \u2013 Ellis Sys): Look, Senator, I understand that being seen on the spectrum standing up to a large corporation like Crusader is politically advantageous to you, but that\u2019s no reas\u2014\n\nSENATOR KELOS ALBERVAR (T \u2013 Terra \u2013 Terra Sys): Excuse me, sir. How dare you suggest\u2014\n\nSENATOR YANN ISHER (C \u2013 Angeli \u2013 Croshaw Sys): < gavel bang > That\u2019s enough you two. Senator Harren\u2019s motion to return to the normal oversight of Crusader will be voted on at the conclusion of today\u2019s session.\n\nSENATOR KELOS ALBERVAR (T \u2013 Terra \u2013 Terra Sys): Thank you, Chairperson Isher.\n\nSENATOR YANN ISHER (C \u2013 Angeli \u2013 Croshaw Sys): Senator Harren, do you have any further questions for Ms. Caplan?\n\nSENATOR CLAY HARREN (U \u2013 Kampos \u2013 Ellis Sys): I do not.\n\nSENATOR YANN ISHER (C \u2013 Angeli \u2013 Croshaw Sys): Very well. Does anyone else have questions for Mrs. Caplan? Senator Albervar, you may proceed.\n\nSENATOR KELOS ALBERVAR (T \u2013 Terra \u2013 Terra Sys): Thank you, Chairperson Isher. Ms. Caplan, what can you tell me about Jumptown?\n\n< muffled speaking >\n\nKELLY CAPLAN: I\u2019m sorry Senator, could you repeat the question?\nSENATOR KELOS ALBERVAR (T \u2013 Terra \u2013 Terra Sys): This report appears to claim that Crusader has become better at tracking crime within its sovereign space. Yet, my staff on Sol were able to uncover repeated criminal activity at a location known colloquially as Jumptown on the Crusader-controlled moon of Yela.\n\nMy question is, are you familiar with the location, and why has nothing been done about the criminal activity there?\n\nKELLY CAPLAN: < muffled speaking > Chairperson Isher, I\u2019d like to request a five minute recess to use the facilities. Could I also get a refill on my water? As you can see, I\u2019ve drank all of it already.\nSENATOR YANN ISHER (C \u2013 Angeli \u2013 Croshaw Sys): < gavel bang > Granted. Everyone, consider this a tight five. Once we\u2019re back, we\u2019ll proceed with Senator Albervar\u2019s questions.\n\n<< END TRANSCRIPT EXCERPT >>\n\nThis article was updated on 4 December 2020 to change Caplan\u2019s tenure as CEO from 43 to 86 years."},"links_count":0,"comment_count":61,"created_at":"2019-03-20T00:00:00+00:00","created_at_human":"7 years ago"},"meta":{"processed_at":"2026-05-07 22:23:00","valid_relations":["images","links"],"prev_id":17011,"next_id":17015}}
