[Despite all the paper pushing she did within OZ and Preventer, Une's image appears flustered following her first encounter with Vogon bureaucracy. It's not exactly easy filling out forms after being casually told everyone you know is now dead. Still, dwelling on it would only lead to emotional incapacity and, if she has any hope of rebuilding Preventer with the help of other so-called refugees, she must maintain some semblance of calm. Surely some people from the Earth Sphere must have survived? She addresses the Guide just as she once addressed the press during interviews.]
Good day.
[She clears her throat, betraying some uneasiness]
I'm not exactly certain where I am or who I'm talking to. If anybody would care to enlighten me, that would be most helpful. My name is Lady Une. I lead Preventer, the elite peace-keeping force of the Earth Sphere Unified Nations. If any of my agents are out there, please respond.
[She allows the gravity of the situation to sink in; the strangeness of everything is overwhelming. Some of her agents were out in space, weren't they? Surely they weren't caught in the meteor strike?]
I've been told that the Earth Sphere is no more.
[Another pause; she hangs her head, downcast]
If that is so, I have failed in my duty.
