Raul, the Ghoul Ambassador from Eath, decided to step in. "With all due respect Commander Andrew," Raul refering the the UNSC 'Ambassador. "Wouldn't it be in everyone's best interest that the outer colonies stay? Afterall, they provide precious resources to the capital, their conduits have proven themselves to be-"

"Conduits are illegal under Martian Law." The Commander interrupted. "And for good reason too. They are uncontrollable and will cause violence wherever they go, the independence movement is proof of that." 

"The movement started because of your war crimes!" The outer Colony ambassador shouted, "You've experimented on conduits and helghans like they were animals! You instigated the wars, not them."

The commander let out a hmph. "Well, If you feel so strongly about it, maybe it's better you do secede. Afterall, if your population can't follow Martian Law, they can't be Martian citizens."

- CODEX UPDATE -

Conduits are viewed differently from region to region. In the Mars Alliance, they are arrested for being too dangerous, and taken in for cruel experimentation. On Helghast, they are killed because they are believed to be inferior. On Earth, they are equal, and make proud soldiers.

The outer colonies of the Martian alliance accept Conduits, valuing them for their courage and super abilities.
