For All Mankind

You were appointed to your post with very clear instructions.

To implement our plans to expedite shipments of iridium, no matter the cost.

And these past weeks, the work has slowed to a crawl.

You know I am fond of you, my boy

but we have leveraged our entire economy on getting iridium

and the people are growing tired of waiting.

You must expedite the next phase of the Kuragin project.

I know you can rise to the occasion, Lenya. Goodbye.

He is angry…

Of course he is.

What are you going to do about this mess?

I need to find a way to turn the page.

Get people focused again on their work.

They're still bitching and complaining about Lee.

And that damn Baldwin memorial

that's been up for a month is not helping matters.

Tear it down. It is a violation of base law.

I can't tear it down, they'll only build another and they will hate me even more.

I must unite the people, not make it worse than it already is.

Remember the launch parties

they used to throw in Star City?

How could I forget?

We met at one of these parties.
