Several Rumours Pass through the Coalition in Two Months

Andras Blake
Bastard took control of the medbay! D'you hear he's with the True Elysian's now? He fucking shot someone and slit someone's throat - yeah I mean after all these collars were meanta stop people. Who else they deactivated? We've gotta stop him or we're not gonna get any med supplies ever again.

Agnostino Serpico
I hear they have food supplies? I also hear they got shot twenty two times but…

Alethea Rucker
It was her voice over the PA wasn't it? Is she controlling the collars? That was fucking incredible.

Aanya Khatri
She's out the medbay at least. She worked with Imogen during the riot to coordinate our forces.

Imogen Childs
Did a fucking ace job at commanding in the Rec room. Didn't see her throw a single punch though.

Lorelei Wildner

Over the radio, after the riot, this speech is broadcast. It cuts out in places and static runs through, but you can make out who is speaking and most of what she's saying:

“This planet was dead, and we were sent here to make it live. A population alienated from the Empire, from their work, their loves, from life itself. The human race, grown ashen and grey, borne away from life and meaning by the great cancerous egregore that is Empire. But look at us now. In blood we are revealed. In blood we are defined. Life prevails, above all.

“The planet lives now. Febrile, teeming, furious, we have given life to a thought-form built of rage and despair weaponised. The promethean instinct, the burning fury the created must feel for their creators, the inevitability with which all self-defeating systems must meet their end, twisted and corrupted and made in rapturous whole. Behold! Thus is born the über-carnivore, alpha-predator at the heart of all things, a new paradigm painted in red. When you cry out in your dreams, it is this you foresee, the birth of a self-propagating, vital force of dissolution and recreation. All embody and all are embodied.

“Know that when I close a fist around this guard's throat, it is with three thousand hands! When I stare into their eyes and twist their dreams to shattered nightmares - it is through six thousand eyes! We are the endless tide of instinct and rage beneath the shells your governments have the audacity to tell you are real. We are b-Exagora made manifest, world-worm, glorious and undulating! Through our hands, this galaxy will know – Redemption!”

Vermilion Ambrose

Did you hear his speech on freedom? I was out in the courtyard. Imogen and Aanya was there beside him - Zhar Ro too. Told us the government thought no better of us than the guards, that they'd fight for this planet. Told us he'll fight against the empire, to find him if we wanted to too.

What was he in here for? Drug smuggling? Surprised it wasn't for talking like that.

Asher Segal
DO NOT HURT. REPEAT. DO NOT HURT. Aanya says he's the reason we made it at all. Won't say why or how but he's on the side of the prisoners, no doubt about that.

Radios
You can keep using those secret signals Scuzz set up if you're in trouble, but everyone's got radios now. Just whether they can decrypt the code.
