As the first press questions shift from spectacle to substance, V’ren leaders speak for themselves—revealing a culture of quiet empowerment, earned trust, and the kind of leadership that doesn’t need a microphone.
Matt and T’mari face the cameras for the first time since the V’ren’s unplanned arrival.

It’s diplomacy, Freehold-style: do the work, absorb the nonsense, keep the mission on track.
