Описание: Ending scene of 5x04. Marco claims responsibility for his bombardment of Earth, as the rest of the system watches.


Full speech:
"My name is Marco Inaros. I am the commander of the Free Navy. We are the military arm and voice of the outer planets, and we are the ones responsible for striking our oppressors on Earth and Mars.
This attack was retribution for generations of atrocities committed by the Inners against innocent Belters. No longer will Belters be persecuted and subjected to the savagery and inhumanity that the Inners have been poisoning our species with.
Any further attacks on Earth and Mars will be precipitated by the inner planets' failure to recognize this new human reality. The Free Navy now possesses the last remaining sample of the protomolecule. Any transgressions by the Inners and the Free Navy will not hesitate to unleash the protomolecule on either planet.
We recognize the right of Earth and Mars to exist, but their sovereignty ends at their respective atmospheres. The vacuum, the ring gates, and the ring worlds belong to the Belt. To Belters.
With the opening of the alien gates, we are at a crossroads in human history. Already we are seeing how easy it would be to carry our legacies of exploitation, injustice, prejudice, and oppression into the new world, but there is a better path.
Under the protection of the Free Navy, the society and culture of the Belt will begin again and remake humanity without the corruption, greed, and hatred that the inner planets could not transcend.
We will take what is ours by right, yes, but more than that, we will lead the Belt to a new, better form. A more human form.
Citizens of the Belt, beratnas, rise up now! In joy and glorious resolve. This day is ours. Tomorrow is ours. The future of humanity is ours. Today and forevermore, we are free."
