Maeko MatsuoThe Executive Board is not concerned with galactic law, Commander. That's why this planet was settled, after all.
Maeko MatsuoAs far as they are concerned, Anoleis-sama went too far. On Noveria, you may do what you wish, so long as you do not disturb public order.
Maeko MatsuoI only request that you limit the number of disturbances you provoke. I would consider it a favor.3 choices

Maeko MatsuoTheir answer to the lawlessness is to make one of us a Spectre and tell us to fix it ourselves? I bet the Terra Firma Party is having a field day with this.
