The Chase and The Hunt – FERO’s Fan Trailer

Janina Gavankar, the voice behind Maya Sankar better known as FERO in Hunt the Truth has made a fan trailer for the upcoming finale to season two releasing later today.  At the beginning of season two, we discovered FERO’s true identity as an ONI operative, trying to get outer colonists to  work towards economic prosperity over their war-like urges.  We saw the inklings of doubt in how ONI was handling the situation in the outer colonies and over the last few episodes, we’ve seen a more resolute FERO wanting to tell everyone the truth they deserve to hear.  The finale of season two airs at 2:00PM Eastern today.
