GTA respond to corporations' plea for help

By Sylie Diaz

The office of Admiral Po today responded to spokesperson Yue Fang's plea for help through their own spokesperson, Marya Wutheren. This is what she had to say: 

"The Admiral absolutely understands the need to police trade sectors in the system. We cannot divulge any information about how our pilots are deployed, but we encourage all transports to take every legal measure to increase the safety of their crews. The Admiral will continue to monitor and respond to the security threats that arise throughout the system."

The most striking thing about this little statement to me was the contrast between Yue Fang's impassioned speech, and this dry, canned response with all the charisma of a block of wood. This is not the first time a prominent citizen of Antares with the backing of the wider community has attempted to reach out to Admiral Po, and it's not the first time it has been met with a response of this nature.

The people of Antares are looking for a signal that Admiral Po has his finger on the pulse here, and that the man has some conviction and a desire to work with us in bringing peace back to the system. We're looking for something that we can get behind and believe in here, and this statement is about the furthest thing in the world from giving that to us. I don't think I would be wrong to speak for others as well as myself here when I say we are profoundly disappointed.
