"We can and have, but you continue to allow this to transmit. That is unacceptable."
XAI cuts him off before the "That" "-retaining a single chokepoint for communications that can be monitored. If you completely cut off connections, I can guaruntee you will get an underground network which Xia is truly unable to cut off at all. If it makes you happy a monitoring AI can be installed to locate insurgents and report their positions."

We need to cut out the disease that we have allowed to fester in this city. Take up arms. Fight! We have allowed ourselves to be consumed by petty disagreements. Talinist or not it doesn't matter, we must unite against the menace that has taken root in our city! We have forgotten our virtues. We have shunned our Duty, shattered our Unity, and ignored our Destiny. We must fight now or forever remain trampled by those bigger than us."
