Battletech’s “The Voice of Kerensky“ speech

“After the SLDF Exodus Fleet reached the five Pentagon Worlds, General Aleksandr Kerensky sent a message back to the Inner Sphere on September 9th 2786: The message was not transmitted as an HPG pulse, but by normal broadband microwave radio. Traveling at mere light speed, the message would take approximately 1,000 years to reach the outer limits of the Inner Sphere (approximately 3800), and over 1,500 years before it would reach Terra itself. No matter if this time frame was an indication of the elder Kerensky’s intention for when his exiles would return, the Clans society created by his son Nicholas would return approximately 260 years after the message was sent, and well before anyone in the Inner Sphere could ever hope to hear it. Ironically, this message of peace was later received and heard by Task Force Serpent, as it was on its way to conquer Huntress, the homeworld of Clan Smoke Jaguar and destroy this particularly aggressive Clan. “ -- Produced and performed by George Ledoux and Voices In My Head® Productions Artwork by aka Laura Shaw
