[It's the first time she's shown her face on the network, attached it to her name; an unprecedented situation calls for caution. But the moment now is opportune. Her words will have more resonance if the people can see who's behind them.
Words that, while delayed slightly because of circumstance, have been far from forgotten.]
In my short time here, it has been clear to me that a lack of organization is a detriment to the operations of the Initiative, and, by extension, the well-being of Transports. Efforts have been made recently to address this lack of organization, but while commendable, they are not without their concerns.
By making a move such as that proposed to create a Transport-only governing body, we forget ourselves, as well as our cause. We forget that the Transport population is merely part of a whole, one that must be united in the face of a common threat. By making such a move, we only risk further alienating the Exiles, creating a larger rift when we cannot afford one in the first place.
I do not believe this move is ideal. More time and care are needed to consider the consequences it might have. To consider alternative solutions.
[She pauses, gives time for all of that to breathe before she concludes.]
If you have thoughts or concerns, I urge you to air them. This is a matter which affects us all, and every voice that wishes to be heard should be allowed the opportunity.

... I'd have to agree with you. The Exiles were here first. We need to consider what they want, just as much as we have to consider what else we need.

It would be unjust to exclude them from our efforts. Every decision we make impacts them as well. Allowing no say will only lead to further tension.
