Captain Clone today made a speech to HCS officers at HCS GHQ where he appeared to admit the presence of HCS forces on Oscar. "Our Clone brothers would have been cast adrift if the traitor Benito and his liberal cronies had their way. The HCS are helping them achieve their objective in a life free from interference and anti-Clone elements." However he quickly started referring to "patriots" instead of HCS.
Captain Clone also accused the DDS of being intent on destroying the Clone Empire. "Tremble Windscorpion! Quiver Firefly! Shiver Shiner in your ivory tower, all cosy and safe in your bathroom slippers! You will not destroy the Clone nation as we all know you intend to do. As you will do on Oscar without the protection of patriots! You want to enslave our brothers and dishonour our sisters but the patriots will stop you!"
