Auto-Transcript for S&P and NFSC Submission EP: 57:36 : “Terrell Speaks” ERIA QUINT: Hello and welcome to a very special episode of Showdown! I’m Eria Quint. 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’re going to do something a little different. Tonight we have a single guest, a guest who’s been the subject of a running story for the past four months. Parker 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’s 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. Tonight, we’re hoping to get some answers and get to the truth. Tonight, we welcome Parker Terrell. PARKER TERRELL: Hello. Thanks for having me. ERIA QUINT: So Mr. Terrell, I suppose the obvious question is, what happened? PARKER TERRELL: Well, Eria, I’ve 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’s 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’ve collected quite the laundry list of enemies. Now, as I’ve said before, I’ve been doing this a long time, so I’ve accepted it as an occupational hazard. However, after the Ellis XI story broke, and especially after my theories about the government’s true role in the ‘collision’ became known, that number began to exponentially increase and it became an unhealthy type of attention. ERIA QUINT: Were you being explicitly threatened? PARKER TERRELL: Yes. ERIA QUINT: By whom? PARKER TERRELL: People who were threatened by what I knew. People who knew that I couldn’t be bought off to bury the truth. ERIA QUINT: Can you give us an example of the types of threats you would receive? PARKER TERRELL: I would rather not at this time. ERIA QUINT: So then what happened? PARKER TERRELL: Well, I was leaving my apartment one morning, and I saw a suspicious looking man ‘fixing’ the ventilation systems. ERIA QUINT: Suspicious how? PARKER 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’t breathe. That’s when I noticed that the ventilation systems were on full blast. They hadn’t worked in months, and that ‘repairman’ might have put something in the vents, so I took off. ERIA QUINT: What happened then? PARKER TERRELL: When you’re 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. ERIA QUINT: If you believed yourself to be in danger, did you attempt to get help or reach out to authorities? PARKER TERRELL: That would be playing right into their hands. ERIA 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? PARKER TERRELL: I think that’s a rather dismissive way to put it. ERIA QUINT: Maybe … but accurate? < pause > ERIA QUINT: You were released from your contract with the New United, is that correct? PARKER TERRELL: I’ve moved on. ERIA QUINT: They received quite a lot of criticism for this whole situation. PARKER TERRELL: I suppose, but I think they’ll be okay. ERIA QUINT: If I may be blunt — PARKER TERRELL: You’re starting now? ERIA QUINT: What were you doing all that time? PARKER TERRELL: I think we’re losing sight of the bigger picture here. ERIA QUINT: Which is what? PARKER 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’t we talking about that? ERIA QUINT: Gallen has nothing to do with you. PARKER TERRELL: Really? You honestly believe that? We’re talking about a government that is conducting covert operations against the Xi’An. We’re talking about a government that is out of control, acting with the sort of impunity and disregard for basic liberties we haven’t seen since the Messer Era, and much more insidiously, which is exactly what I have been saying for months now. ERIA 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. PARKER TERRELL: We all know that the government will use any means necessary to discredit me and my research. ERIA QUINT: Clearly we need a break. Come back after the jump for more ShowDown! TRANSCRIPT BREAK SHOWDOWN! Automatische Übertragung für S&P- und NFSC-Einreichungen EP: 57:36 : "Terrell spricht" ERIA QUINT: Hallo und willkommen zu einer ganz besonderen Episode von Showdown! 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. Parker Terrell erschien bei Showdown!, um die Kollision von Ellis XI zu diskutieren. Kurz darauf verschwand er. Einige behaupteten, dass sein Verschwinden Terrells Behauptungen über einen Amoklauf der Regierung bestätigt habe, andere beschuldigten Terrell und die New United, einen Werbegag zu orchestrieren. Diese Debatten wüteten auch dann noch, als Terrell in einem kleinen Hotel in Corel gefunden wurde. Heute Abend hoffen wir, ein paar Antworten zu bekommen und die Wahrheit zu erfahren. Heute Abend begrüßen wir Parker Terrell. PARKER TERRELL: Hallo. Danke, dass ich kommen durfte. ERIA QUINT: Also Mr. Terrell, ich nehme an, die offensichtliche Frage ist, was ist passiert? PARKER TERRELL: Nun, Eria, ich bin schon lange in den Medien und habe alle möglichen Geschichten behandelt. Oftmals schreibe ich Geschichten, die Menschen in die falsche Richtung reiben. Es ist nicht beabsichtigt oder mein Ziel; ich versuche nur, alle Möglichkeiten zu erforschen, alle möglichen Winkel zu betrachten und sie mit dem gleichen Respekt zu behandeln. Nicht jeder versteht das, also schätze ich, man könnte 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 über die wahre Rolle der Regierung bei der "Kollision" bekannt wurden, begann diese Zahl exponentiell zu steigen, und es wurde eine ungesunde Art von Aufmerksamkeit. ERIA QUINT: Wurden Sie ausdrücklich bedroht? PARKER TERRELL: Ja. ERIA QUINT: Von wem? PARKER TERRELL: Menschen, die von dem bedroht wurden, was ich wusste. Leute, die wussten, dass man mich nicht kaufen kann, um die Wahrheit zu verbergen. ERIA QUINT: Können Sie uns ein Beispiel dafür geben, welche Arten von Bedrohungen Sie erhalten würden? PARKER TERRELL: Ich möchte zu diesem Zeitpunkt lieber nicht. ERIA QUINT: Also, was ist dann passiert? PARKER TERRELL: Nun, ich verließ meine Wohnung eines Morgens, und ich sah einen verdächtig aussehenden Mann, der die Lüftungsanlagen reparierte". ERIA QUINT: Wie verdächtig? PARKER TERRELL: Als ob er mich verfolgt hätte. Ich beobachte meine Bewegung. Als ich in den Hangarraum in meinem Gebäude ging, spürte ich plötzlich diesen Druck in meiner Brust und konnte nicht mehr atmen. Da bemerkte ich, dass die Lüftungsanlagen auf Hochtouren liefen. Sie hatten seit Monaten nicht mehr funktioniert, und dieser "Mechaniker" hätte vielleicht etwas in die Lüftungsschlitze gesteckt, also bin ich gegangen. ERIA QUINT: Was ist dann passiert? PARKER TERRELL: Wenn du eine Geschichte kochst, musst du manchmal eine Quelle schützen oder eine Kopie fertig stellen, also nimmst du viele Tricks mit, um die Dunkelheit zu verhindern. Ich wusste, dass sie nach meinem Schiff suchen würden, also verstaute ich es außer Sichtweite in Croshaw und hakte den Durchgang zurück, bis ich den Weg zu Corel fand. ERIA QUINT: Wenn du glaubst, dass du in Gefahr bist, hast du versucht, Hilfe zu holen oder dich an Behörden zu wenden? PARKER TERRELL: Das wäre, ihnen direkt in die Hände zu spielen. ERIA QUINT: Lassen Sie mich versuchen zu verstehen. Du hast einen Anstieg der Belästigung bemerkt und hattest, wie es klingt, einen Angstanfall in deiner Garage, der dann losging. Klingt das korrekt? PARKER TERRELL: Ich denke, das ist eine eher abweisende Art, es auszudrücken. ERIA QUINT: Vielleicht.... aber genau? < Pause > Pause > ERIA QUINT: Du wurdest von deinem Vertrag mit den New United befreit, ist das korrekt? PARKER TERRELL: Ich habe weiter gemacht. ERIA QUINT: Sie erhielten für diese ganze Situation eine Menge Kritik. PARKER TERRELL: Ich nehme an, aber ich denke, sie werden in Ordnung sein. ERIA QUINT: Wenn ich offen sein darf - PARKER TERRELL: Sie fangen jetzt an? ERIA QUINT: Was hast du die ganze Zeit gemacht? PARKER TERRELL: Ich glaube, wir verlieren hier das Gesamtbild aus den Augen. ERIA QUINT: Was ist was? PARKER TERRELL: Dass es größere 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 darüber? ERIA QUINT: Gallen hat nichts mit dir zu tun. PARKER TERRELL: Wirklich? Glaubst du das wirklich? Wir sprechen von einer Regierung, die verdeckte Operationen gegen die Xi'An durchführt. Wir sprechen von einer Regierung, die außer Kontrolle geraten ist, die mit der Art von Straffreiheit und Missachtung der Grundfreiheiten handelt, die wir seit der Messer-Ära nicht mehr gesehen haben, und viel heimtückischer, was genau das ist, was ich seit Monaten sage. ERIA QUINT: Die Advocacy hat dich verhaftet, übrigens berauscht, dir eine Geldstrafe auferlegt und dich freigelassen. Das klingt kaum nach der Behandlung, die eine Bedrohung für das Imperium erhalten würde. PARKER TERRELL: Wir alle wissen, dass die Regierung alle notwendigen Mittel einsetzen wird, um mich und meine Forschung zu diskreditieren. ERIA QUINT: Offensichtlich brauchen wir eine Pause. Kommen Sie nach dem Sprung wieder, um mehr ShowDown zu sehen! TRANSKRIPTUMBRUCH SHOWDOWN!
