Eulogy Recording
''Ahem. This is Jane Zarkan Jenkyns II...I've never done anything like this before so I'll just say whatever is on my mind. Over forty years ago, an unstoppable force had come to Earth; crippling the power of both the Confederate States and the Union Government. This force was known as the Galactic Empire—who had replaced the Galactic Republic and defeated our former allies the Confederacy of Independent Systems; they killed many of our soldiers, destroyed our homes and created a puppet state led by a coward, William Crest. But thanks to my mother's actions during her final moments alive while fighting off the Empire's fleet in orbit above Earth; she saved the Confederacy and the Union from dissolution...she basically saved our planet's future cause about two years ago, we came into contact with an Empress who claimed that this Galactic Empire was actually defeated about 16 years before we met. Naturally, this gave us hope that our world could be retaken; she brought together her Empire and its home fleet to help us and since retaking Earth from the Earth Empire, we are in her debt.''

''Were it not for my mother's actions during her last moments alive, we wouldn't be here right now. I wouldn't be the President of the Confederate States and the Confederate-Union Government wouldn't have been established. I wouldn't have found out that William Crest DID kill my father all those years ago. I would've died hating my father and believing that he just betrayed my mother and joined Crest in his puppet Empire. For that, I am thankful my mother did what she did over Earth four decades ago. I'm thankful to have given my father a proper burial and to pay my respects to him.''

''...still...-a stifle is heard-...I just wish my parents were here to witness my accomplishments...they'd be proud of what I have done to keep their legacy going. Times like this, I think back to a book I read as a child, "its cold without them here, its like winter lasts all year but their star's still in the sky...so I wouldn't say goodbye...I didn't want to say goodbye..."''
