Fight for it!" - Violeta <br> ### Description \[transcript excerpt of Violeta O'Higgins' speech, [[Haven|El Alicanto]] town center, July 2045.] VIOLETA: My Brothers and Sisters of the Desert, we have been deceived. Our people have been used, once again, by those who seek to profit off of what is rightfully ours. They tried to buy our votes with the promise of compensation. Blood money! We've seen it happen time and time before across our country. They will take everything from us until there is nothing left. And the [[Guardia del Pueblo|GDP]], what was the cost to pay you off? Better weapons, upgraded equipment and vehicles? Your tools of oppression to keep us in our place and silence our voice. But we will not be silent. Stand with the [[Brotherhood of Night]] this Monday when [[Arkangel]] Corporate arrives for an inspection of their thievery. This is our home. Fight for it! Viva Atacama, mierda!
