[QUESTION 6]

(SSN): Katherine says, "*The camera angle turns to face them directly, from the front part of the desk then a panorama is made, from left to right, ending into a switch into a wide angle again* Moving on! To expectations...Do you think it necessary for all pilots (including miners and gatherers) to outfit themselves with the skills and ships for combat?"

(SSN): Zhulkarn says, "Personally I would prefer all citizens to be able to pilot certain types of ships but for what they lack...let it be security, transport or something else, the III fleet will fill the gaps with their professional divisions."

(SSN): Mereas says, "There are many dangers to space, and the prudent pilot must know how to defend against them. Even if all the civilizations of Starmourn join together in a grand united nation, the Ishvana will continue its incursions into our space. Best be prepared."

(SSN): Nykara says, "Absolutely not! What miners and gatherers lack in firepower, they can make up for in marks - marks paid to us. That's what we are here for, after all. You don't have to be a cold-hard killer, you just need to hire some."

=============================================================================
[QUESTION 7]

(SSN): Katherine says, "*The human female smiles and nods, her right hand moving to ever so gently trace the shape of her butterfly-shaped earrings as she says* Good points! Now...as the show is nearing its end, for the last question...I must insist on an interesting subject. From a strategic point of view, if you were to choose an ally, as factions and military entities, which would it be? We are talking about Sorrow Company or the factions here, of course."

(SSN): Zhulkarn says, "Guess, considering how we proceeded in the discussions so far, I would like to ally with king tangutans of Atria. But on a more serious ground, I can say that we shall work towards bettering our relations with the amiable factional entities but the mismatch between our styles would not allow a total alliance in the close future. But that is my personal view and observation."

(SSN): Nykara says, "Well, Kat, that's a very easy answer for me - the Celestine Ascendancy. While I don't typically like to outsource - I am the outsourcing, after all - if I had to, I'd pull from Celestine's pool. Compared to Song, they are easily more impressive, more willing to do what must be done, and above all else... more ruthless. The Ascendancy has shown me a spine."

(SSN): Mereas says, "~ The tukkav looks toward each representative, seemingly taking them into close consideration. Their gaze even falls upon the human host, and then to the unseen crew behind the holocameras. Then, the tukkav faces the camera again, and smiles. ~."

(SSN): Mereas says, "The Y'saari Covenant."

[ENDING]

(SSN): Katherine says, "*The image now zooms onto each face until it rests on the delicate features of the human female. Her right hand is once again used to adjust her half-moon glasses as she tilts her head and smiles widely saying* There you have it, ladies and gentlemen! All you wanted to know, right from the sources! It's been a most interesting show and we look forward to spending time with you all again as we unravel more and more about our dear sector. Until then...a big thank you to our guests and viewers and remember...SSN is here for you!"

(SSN): Katherine says, "*The camera begins to zoom out, slowly, giving a chance for each of the guests to say something or salute the audience*."

(SSN): Mereas says, "Thank you, Katherine. Until next time, SSN!"

(SSN): Zhulkarn says, "Thank you, Ms. Katherine. Have a pleasant week, SSN!"

(SSN): Nykara says, "[Slender fingers wiggle their goodbyes, though their opposite hand rests notably atop the handle of their PIECE.] You know who to call, Starmourn. Toodles!"

(SSN): Katherine says, "*Once the widest angle is reached, the image flickers, a tune starts to play and the human female is shown stepping up from her seat and offering her last goodbyes, also neatly arranging the sheets of paper on her desk. The image dims out, fades to black and the SSN logo appears on screen. Under it, the words "Star Talks with Kat" show for a few moments before the image dims completely and the transmission ends*."
