==Transcript==
''Cut to [[Lindsey Danford]] speaking to the camera for a report at the [[Sedran Colonial Guard]] forward operating base.''

*'''Lindsey Danford''': "[[UNSC]] isn't happy about [[Sedra|colonial backwaters]] having weapons-grade [[nuclear weapon|nuclear explosives]]. Period."

''Danford is identified as a quartermaster for the Colonial Guard. "Nuclear explosives" is marked as a flag word by [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] software reviewing the video. Cut to Danford on a [[data pad]] reviewing military equipment.''

*'''Unidentified male (COM)''': "You think they're active transformers?"

*'''Lindsey Danford''': "We've made some modifications to the detonation encryption. Someone will have to show you how it works."

''An [[MA5D assault rifle]], an [[M395 DMR]], and a [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon]] are identified within the room.''

*'''Unidentified male (COM)''': "What precisely?"

''Cut back to Danford speaking to the camera.''

*'''Lindsey Danford''': "The [[D81 Condor|Condor]] is one thing, but a HAVOK nuke? It's something else entirely."

''Cut back to Danford reviewing the military equipment.''

*'''Lindsey Danford''': "Wait, say that again?"

*'''Unidentified male (COM)''': "They only found—"

''Cut back to Danford speaking to the camera.''

*'''Lindsey Danford''': "We currently have four devices with no material to replace them. They're asking for 25% of our entire arsenal. I know they supply this stuff, but, officially, it is ours once it's been decommissioned."

''The transmission undergoes interference due to cosmic ray activity.''

*'''Lindsey Danford''': "Giving it back to the UNSC, even on loan... It's a legal minefield."

''Cut back to Danford reviewing the military equipment.''

*'''Unidentified male (COM)''': "Straight to ONI headquarters."

*'''Lindsey Danford''': "So the bomb itself sends a report to ONI every time we service it?"

*'''Unidentified male (COM)''': "That's correct."

*'''Lindsey Danford''': "Including the detonation encryption?"

*'''Unidentified male (COM)''': "They pick up the signal."

''Cut back to Danford speaking to the camera.''

*'''Lindsey Danford''': "I've been told in no uncertain terms, that the big reason we even have these is because we're an [[Outer Colony]] on [[Insurrection|the front line]]."

''Cut back to Danford reviewing the military equipment. An officer is speaking distinctively on the base's PA system.''

*'''Lindsey Danford''': "Anything else you'd like to surprise me with?"

*'''Unidentified male (COM)''': "We should have told you about—"

''Cut back to Danford speaking to the camera. The ONI software monitoring the transmission initiate a vocal analysis and Danford is unknowingly subjected to a [[retinal scanner]].''

*'''Lindsey Danford''': "The nukes are part of their contingency planning! I'm saying they're using us. As a storage facility."

''The vocal analysis declares Danford to be highly unstable. Cut back to Danford reviewing the military equipment.''

*'''Lindsey Danford''': "You're saying one of our nuclear bombs is an informant?"

*'''Unidentified male (COM)''': "Not just this one. All of our bombs."

''Cut back to Danford speaking to the camera.''

*'''Lindsey Danford''': "And that's even more clear if we do nothing now."

''As the transmission is uploaded and sent to [[Codename: FIXER]], Danford ends the transmission.''
