Selfish. A nice word.", Christine began her editorial.
"Selfish - concerned excessively or exclusively with oneself : seeking or concentrating on one's own advantage, pleasure, or well-being without regard for others.", the Vulcan - Romulan Hybrid continued.
"Nicole Branson leaves the colony when the colony is under immense pressure from the underworld and its leader, Cleveland Powers. Selfish. She is more concerned with her own political future than with the colony. Why should we be surprised?", Christine mocked.
"William Hunt, the hero of the Phoenix Liberation condones the actions of Nicole Branson to help his own planet, New Terra. He is the President of the Phoenix Federation, winner of a popularity contest with Ambassador James Solomon. His actions are to serve his own political goals. Selfish. Aren't all men of power selfish?", Christine's sarcasm could fill the entire studio.
"Vincent Viceroy... More concerned with his pregnant wife and her emotional state since he went trapsing off with her best friend, Mary Lou Cole. After all, his sexual needs outweighed the basic needs of his own wife. Selfish and self centered.", Christine pointed at the camera.
The comment were scathing but brutally honest.
"Governor Mandu... Taking credit for bridging the peace between Cairo and Paris when in fact it was Commander Acrylos Teero. The governor needs all the credit he can garner right now in a bitter war for control of the colony with Cleveland Powers. Still, his actions are selfish and self promoting. No one should be surprised. As I have said, all men of power are selfish?", Christine stood up, putting her hands on her hips.
"Cleveland Powers... Yes, Mr. Powers, you are not exempt. We all know who and what you are. You are the pinnacle of selfishness. Your empire is built upon fulfilling your own needs. My sources have confirmed that you are now accepting protection money and favor from the Omega Sands processing facilities. Perfect. You blew them up and now they are paying you. Sounds Selfish to me.", Christine mocked.
"Captain S'Nii... Your crush on Nicole Branson is not secret. It is well known. Stalking is not flattery. Trying to break up a special couple is not acceptable. You are doing this only to satisfy your own needs. Tsk... Tsk... Very selfish.", Christine touched her fingers together warning the Vulcan.
"I am not free from this either. I have placed my own personal needs in my relationship with Mr. Cole Porter at the forefront allowing these activities to go un-reported and even unsubstantiated. Unforgiveable and yes, even I am selfish.", Christine continued.
"This has been Christine T'Nley reporting from the Omega News Network, in Omega Prime, Territory Omega on the Phoenix Colony at Outpost 394", Christine smiled, proud of her comments.
