I have an inside story about the death of Ron Hope.

"What a sordid mess. We've got some other sources we've been interviewing, but I'd love to get your take on the record."

"So there was a mercenary company, the First, and they were involved in taking farmlands from Freestar Collective families."

"Extortion, death threats, murder. All of it. Is that right?"

...	Player	Response
	What the First did was unforgivable.	I genuinely don't know how people like that can live with themselves.
	Your other source got it right.	Good to know.
	Sounds like you don't need me.	You kidding? You're the star of this episode from what I heard.
🗣︎	Who's the other source? The HopeTech foreman, Birgit?	Not going to say. I will never, ever, give up my source. If anybody asks about you, they get the same answer.

"So all of that, terrible. But Ron Hope, the Ron Hope, was involved with it at the highest level."

"That all of that suffering was a plot to save HopeTech from going under using the side effects of a fertilizer he developed."

"Let me be blunt. The other sources say you killed Ron Hope. Is that correct?"

...	Player	Response
	I only killed Ron Hope after he tried bribing me and worse.	And all that money, didn't help in the end. [QE521]
	Mr. Hope got what he deserved.	Not everyone sees it that way, but I got the quote. [QE522]
	He wanted to cover up the whole thing. I couldn't let that stand.	I can't imagine him getting away with that. [QE523]
	I'm a Ranger. I was just doing my job.	Most Rangers don't take down one of the Council of Governors, though.

"After all of that, the future of HopeTech is an open question."

"Their stock has already taken a beating, not sure if it's going to go into free fall."

"Any comment?"

...	Player	Response
	Who knows what other scandals HopeTech is involved in. There should be a thorough investigation.	That's a chilling thought. [QE531]
	Despite what Rob Hope did, HopeTech is a great company. I know it'll weather this storm.	For what it's worth, I'm rooting for them, too. [QE532]
	As a Ranger worrying about Ron Hope's employees isn't my job. Justice is.	And you do your job well. [QE533]
	I don't have anything more to say.

"Thanks. If you listen to the news, you'll definitely hear this."

"And... uh... maybe try not to ice any more CEOs? Just a thought."
