"K, what are you doing?" Char asked the machine.

Instead of replying to her the android cognized its move and started decrypting the codes. Even though the machine was very old its performance and experience at work was great. "Shut down soon." Char had started suspecting that the machine might have heated up its circuits and as a result lost its compatibility. She had no prior experience with dysfunctional gadgets and feared that her works would be defaulted if something wrong occurs with the machine. She watched the characters that looked like Webdings turn into binary codes and those into English alphabets. Within seconds a classified database was open in front of her eyes.

"What is this?" Char could not but ask.

"Truth About Earth: Classified Data." An extremely annoying chill passed down her spine, as Char read the heading. The whole page spelled top secret. Since they were in incognito mode and her machine was not accepting commands they were totally safe and out of any one's notice above all the Castle.

"EARTH is one of most habitable place ever in the Milky Way for human beings. It had the components like water, and elements in proportion to that of their presence in human body. There existed the maximum amount and variety of life forms than ever found on any other planet. Out of the 456-septendecillion species human beings were the only one. Since human beings council in the Colony had came to an agreement to keep the past in the past, all information regarding life on earth are thus under classified list and kept out of people's reach. Every person who access to these are therefore warned because getting, reading and spreading this information can lead to elimination." Char read. For the first time she felt something. She thought it was weird because what she felt was a thirst. It was a very unique and different kind of thirst than ever before.
