(calm, rising):
"Brothers and sisters of Termadon, citizens of the SRT, and allies beyond was forced upon us.
Super Earth told us we were free — yet censored our voices.
They told us we were equal — yet stripped us of resources to fuel their endless wars.
They told us we were united — yet branded us separatist the moment we questioned their rule.
That is the truth.
And truth does not bow to propaganda."
[APPLAUSE — CROWD STANDING, CHEERS]

(firm, steady):
"Our dream is Termadon.
Our destiny is sovereignty.
Our future is written not in their propaganda, but in our unity, our courage, and our will to endure."
[APPLAUSE — CHANT SWELLS]
Crowd Chanting (Helghast-like stomp cadence):
NO MORE CHAINS! NO MORE CHAINS! NO MORE CHAINS!

(thundering):
"Brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, mothers and fathers — citizens of Termadon… hear me, comrades of the Republic!"
[APPLAUSE – CROWD RISING TO THEIR FEET]
"We gather not in silence, but in defiance.
We gather not in fear, but in courage.
And we gather not as slaves, but as the SEPARATIST REPUBLIC OF TERMADON!"
Crowd Chanting (low, rhythmic):
SRT! SRT! SRT!

(fire building):
"They say we are free — yet our children starve!
They say we are safe — yet the Automatons crush our cities!
They say we are united — yet they divide us by blood, by birth, by colony!"
[APPLAUSE – ROARS OF ANGER]
"But I tell you this — freedom without bread is slavery.
Safety without dignity is tyranny.
Unity without equality is a LIE!"
Crowd Chanting (Helghast-like stomp cadence):
NO MORE CHAINS! NO MORE CHAINS! NO MORE CHAINS!

(rising into a roar):
"But hear me now,
Let the LPN come!
Let them see our history!
Let our allies aid our wound!
Let them fight with us for freedom — freedom that is not bought, freedom that is not borrowed, freedom that is not given as a ration, but freedom that is ours by blood, by will, by right!"
[APPLAUSE — CROWD ERUPTS,]
Crowd Chant (thunderous, stomping):
SRT LPN! SRT LPN!
Crowd Chanting (Helghast-like stomp cadence):
NO MORE CHAINS! NO MORE CHAINS! NO MORE CHAINS!
