Celaeno's Resolve
Reporter: The newly-elected prime minister Celaeno Kabora is about to address the Empire today regarding Zetsfir.
Reporter: Calls for retaliation have increased since the Pandora Orbital Station's destruction.
Reporter: Forty days ago, Zetsfir committed a devastating atrocity in which the Pandora Station was completely destroyed.
Reporter: 4428 people were aboard the orbital station at the time. There were no survivors.
Reporter: Many have called for immediate action against Zetsfir, describing the attack as Zetsfir's final act of evil.
Reporter: We take you live to the main auditorium at Fumacine Defense Headquarters.
Reporter: In just moments, Prime Minister Kabora will speak.
Reporter: Today's highly anticipated speech is expected to assure the people of Fumacine that action will be taken against Zetsfir.
Reporter: We are about to head inside the auditorium.
Celaeno: Thank you all for coming.
Celaeno: As you all know, the Pandora Orbital Station, a critical outpost for Fumacine and Kadmas, was destroyed in a vicious surprise attack.
Celaeno: We will no longer tolerate Zetsfir's genocide.
Celaeno: Months before the attack, we have been making progress in developing a method to open 5-D gates and take the fight to Zetsfir's homeland.
Celaeno: I announce today my commitment to launch an all-out attack on Zetsfir's homeland.
Celaeno: We will reverse engineer their technology and execute a full-scale eradication of their military bases and weaponry.
Celaeno: Fumacine will also lead the attack on their capital, ensuring the demise of their leadership so that no one remains to continue their genocide.
Celaeno: The time has come to rid our world of the constant threat posed by Zetsfir. We have lived in fear for centuries.
Celaeno: Thank you. At this time, I will be unable to answer any questions.
Reporter: Well, there you have it... the Prime Minister gave a brief speech with some strong words for Zetsfir.
Reporter: Some, however, have some reservations about his ambitious plan.
Reporter: Sir, what do you think about Prime Minister Kabora's plans to attack Zetsfir?
Jack: Yo, let me tell ya, I hate Zetsfir as much as anybody else, hell, I had friends up there on Pandora...
Jack: But this Kabora, he's all about shootin' first and askin' questions later. Like, we can't do it that way.
Reporter: How would you propose Fumacine respond to Zetsfir's attacks?
Jack: Hey, look, like, why is he blurting out stuff about reverse engineering the gates? Giving them a heads up?
Jack: Whatever happened to stealth? Hit Zetsfir when they think we can't fight back, y'know?
Reporter: Thank you, sir. We appreciate your input.
Reporter: Let's hear from someone else here...
Reporter: Ma'am, did you hear Prime Minister Kabora's speech just now?
Reporter: Do you agree with his aggressive strategy to attack Zetsfir's homeland?
Elle: I think what happened to Pandora was the final straw. I'm glad he's taking a proactive approach, although...
Elle: I am worried about needless bloodshed. Just because Zetsfir kills innocent people doesn't mean we should.
Reporter: What do you mean, specifically, about needless bloodshed?
Elle: He said we'd attack the capital. We've never seen their homeland. What if there are innocent people living in their cities?
Elle: Their troops must come from somewhere. I don't know... don't they have families? Certainly there are children there somewhere...
Reporter: So you think Fumacine and the coalition with Kadmas and Graves would attack indiscriminately?
Elle: Well, no, I mean... we're not like that, are we? Still... innocent casualties are inevitable with that kind of rhetoric going into war.
Reporter: Some opinions on the ground in Fumacine City.
Reporter: Leaders in Kadmas have issued statements criticizing Prime Minister Kabora's speech, citing that his rhetoric is irresponsible.
Reporter: We have reached out to other Fumacine officials but have not yet received any response.
