[The following was said in real time in Alhambra's main auditorium, but it's also a network message.]
People of Unity Group. Recently, we have suffered some setbacks, and casualties appeared among our ranks. This is not the first time this happened since the forming of the organization, nor is it likely the last. This is why I would like to tell you something; not as a general, not as an ambassador. As a fellow soldier.
From all military organizations I have seen, enemy and ally alike, Unity Group is the most successful. Successful operations, prevention of friendly casualties, protecting civilians from harm - in all of those aspects, the Group has no peer. You do not win always, but an organization that always wins is not realistically possible - and after every failure, you stand up and earn ten more victories.
[Loudly, Hetepheres hits the floor with the end of her staff.]
Never forget the names and faces of our fallen friends! They have sacrificed their lives fighting for the most noble of goals! Let your good memories of time spent with them drive you forward. For every fallen comrade, a hundred enemies will fall before us! For every person we failed to protect, we shall protect ten thousand more! The title of a hero is not something you can give yourself, it has to be given to you by others. Unity Group, show the world that you deserve that title!
[A longer pause, full of noise from the audience of various UG personnel. Maybe even a pilot or a few?]
That is all. If anyone wanted to discuss something, anything, I can be found in my office. Do not hesitate to come if you have any issue you need to talk about.

Did you want to ask me about something, Dido? Or just congratulate me on my egg salad?

She scratches behind her ear. "I was wondering if you could give me some pointers on how to give pep talks of my own..."

Following these pointers will not turn you into a master speaker overnight; it is a skill you learn by practice, not in vacuum. But it will help.
