Welcome back.

Later in the show, we'll be continuing our Day of Remembrance coverage with more survival stories from the labor camps.

But first, we have an exciting ECB exclusive.

Journalist Benjamin Giraud is here to talk about his story that has been making waves throughout the colonies and here on Earth.

It's called Hunt the Truth, the story behind the Master Chief. And Ben is here to tell us about some exciting developments.

Welcome to the program, Ben. Thank you. It's great to be here.

Oh, Ben, I'm sorry. Hold that thought. We've just got a breaking development from BECO.

After a tight-lipped investigation, Magistrate Laurel Adams and UEG officials have just released

additional security footage and autopsy reports from the Embassy Massacre, issuing a joint statement that federal charges have been

filed against an extremist group called Sapien Sunrise, effectively clearing the Master Chief and the

Sanghali of any wrongdoing. The UEG called the massacre an attack against peace and vowed to continue supporting

local diplomacy with alien delegations. Now, freshman Senator Andrew Del Rio also came forward

to recant his earlier condemnations, calling the chief a perennial hero and saying, quote,

every statue of him is a monument to be treasured.

Now, according to his office as of this morning, the senator is taking some time off for unrelated family matters.

Wow. Well, Ben, you've been working on the Master Chief's profile for a while.

Um, what do you make of all this?

Did you actually believe the Chief did that?

Well, Ben, my speculations about guilt or a real.

Well, it's classic O&I half-truth.

Yes, Chief was the hero on Biko, but the Sapiens couldn't have done it without the UEG.

If you pull up the Adams conversation thread from the files I sent, you'll see what I mean.
