One:
The vidcam's view pans across what appears to be a teenager's room; the walls are plastered in Imperial Navy propaganda posters, possibly to hide what looks like peeling paint. Whoever the narrator is, they're probably excited. There's a hand gesturing to certain items from behind the camera with no small amount of exuberance.
The caption that comes with the video says 'Hope I've got what it takes'.
Two:
This is a shorter video; in fact, it only appears to be a minute or so long. The vidcam sweeps around some form of small barracks before focusing on a specific bed. The view zooms in, focusing once more after a moment on what appears to be some form of flight suit. That same hand, seeming a bit more rough and red, comes out and gives a thumbs up before the video cuts.
The caption that comes with the video says 'Finished my small spacecraft pilot training; space battles, here I come'.
Three:
The vidcam is set on a table this time around; the background of the footage seems to indicate a mess hall of sorts. A gaggle of pilots come into view, enough to fill a squadron, as they all appear to be trying to introduce each other. The group seems to get along well -- some of them seem serious, while others have a vibrancy in their eyes that can't quite be caught on a screen this small. At the end of the introductions, which take quite a while due to what appears to be joking and teasing, a human woman approaches the vidcam. She has almost-black hair, with an obviously-dyed bright pink running throughout it. The rest of the squadron seems to have it as well, and they're all laughing among each other as the video ends.
The caption that comes with the video says 'I got to meet my squadron today'.
Four:
This video is more of a montage of moments. There are random snippets of dogfights with zero sound to them (odds are they were meant to be in there for the audio), and there are bits and pieces of what appears to be regular pilot life. Occasionally, there's another shot of that human woman's squadron; at least one member seems to have disappeared every time this happens, replaced by someone new. Slowly, most of them grow more tired; most of them. Irena -- after all, that has to be who the human woman is -- seems to only be growing more energetic.
The dogfights are more and more aggressive over the span of the video as well.
The caption that comes with the video says 'Five years'.
Five:
It appears that this is footage not taken from Irena's perspective, but from a fellow squadron member's. It hasn't been edited down -- there's vicious fighting going on, debris scattered across the battlefield that this area of space seems to have become. The starfighter that the footage is focused on appears to be weaving between cannon fire, but it spirals out of control after a few moments. After a pause, the pilot fails to get their bearings back, but they slow down enough to avoid instant death when crashing into a piece of debris. The ship, however, goes dark, and the recording ship's footage cuts as it gets closer.
There is no caption with this video.
Six:
A medical facility's security camera. Irena, in all of her grainy-footage glory, is unconscious. This piece of video lasts for a few hours; an uncomfortably long amount of time to watch a woman breathing.

Seven:
That same medical facility, the same security camera. Irena appears to be conscious and talking to a doctor. She's holding a datapad as they gesture to some information on it; there are what seem to be nods of comprehension before a terrified pause, and the woman covers her mouth. The doctor gets a grim look on their face; as they leave, Irena is wracked with sobs, seemingly wanting to curl up into a ball. However, that doesn't happen.
It lingers on that for a few minutes before abruptly cutting to black.
There is no caption with this video.
Eight:
This is an extremely short video, only consisting of a few seconds of footage. It appears to focus on what seems to be an Imperial officer's uniform, the vidcam shaking as if it's being held in an unsteady position.
There is no caption with this video.
Nine:
This video takes the same format as the first one. There are no hands gesturing to anything; it's simply documenting what appears to be an Imperial officer's quarters. The angle is lower than the first video.
There are pictures and holograms scattered around the room, depicting centuries of what appears -- by the similar features and slow morphing -- to be a family history. This includes a family picture with a child who's obviously a younger Irena, along with her parents and extended family. They all seem happy.
At the end of the video, the vidcam approaches a full-length mirror, and it slowly turns to face the item.
What's in focus is Irena, holding the vidcam to her shoulder, dressed in what appears to be that same Imperial officer's uniform. It's marked with the insignia of a commander, obviously having been put in charge of something.
She's also in a wheelchair.

"My name is Irena Oliver-Kellor." There's a pause, as if she's thinking of her next words. "I joined the Imperial Navy to do what was right; I joined the Imperial Navy to get rewarded for my effort. I have gotten exactly what I asked for and more; they've even kept me on after my accident. I can't thank them enough for what they've done for me." There's another pause before Irena speaks up, newfound conviction in her voice.
"I'm going to rebuild my skill set from the ground up, no matter what it takes. For them."
"For me."
