"Because everyone obeys and no one question. Everything happens according to the laws. If someone goes against, they are given penalties. So it is easy." Rectiman said. 

"Am I to address all of these myself?" Char was worried.

"Yes. You have to. You owe that much to the people who endangered there lives for you. Forget the dead, you owe much to the living. I was your mother who helped you in M_TrC. she was a backstabber, a traitor. So if you turn down the charges your mother will have to pay the price."

"Again..."

"Are you ready?"

"Yes."

"We go live in gamma, beta, alpha." Rectiman counted down connecting his android to transmission.

"I am Char Suave Resourceful I6. The Castle had been hiding Earth from s. It got me thinking. Why would they hide the history from us? Then, I found out that Earth was beautiful, enchanting and most of all, alive. Earth let us say was our past. Now we know our home. The place our race belong. Let us not repeat the mistake that our ancestors committed: forgetting Earth. Now we are here, ready and whole. We haven't realized that we were living in dependence. We were living these years on Styx, that we did not realize that we were lacking freedom. We paid the price of freedom and liberty to earn us peace and stability. It started as a tryout, and then a habit, which turned into an addiction, passed down by generations, a legacy, ignorance. We were unaware of it. We were stuck incapable of escape. Those were dark days because we did not know of light. The real question is why were we in darkness? What had been hiding the light from our view? Was it the legacy, the tradition or something else? Answer is far. But we know we were blind.

But then we came to know about Earth all of a sudden. A lot of light at once into our eyes which was not experienced or habitual of light, we were again blinded, this time by the intensity of light. 

But why is Earth important? Look at us. Where do we stand? We have been living on Styx for past years for generations. We made no advancement, no progress. We are standing where our ancestors stood. We are using what they gave us. We are blindly following the rules they gave us. We are working, breathing, living, but never prospering. We have nothing to cherish, nothing to call our own, our finding, our invention and nothing to claim. We are like stranding still in our actions while time is moving away. Just like standing on this planet and not understanding that it is rotating. We take everything for granted. We do not see the need to appreciate anything. Technology was developed, manufactured, made operational and given life by humans. But we thought we are relying on our gadgets: androids, machines, Computers, etc. So we failed to notice the heart and hand of the creators. That, my friend, is where we failed. Styx was bewitching. We fell for it. We were made to forget home. But now we know the truth.

Past is light emitted from the past that should illuminate our present and guide our future.

I have no Idea why I am telling all these to you. I am supposed to be apologizing to you.

I say sorry for not caring about others. I apologize for dragging my friends, good-wishers and benefactors into this mess. I regret letting my brother Dulcet die. I am sorry for not letting you know about earth before. I am sorry for anarchy. But I refuse to apologize for what I believe in. I refuse to say sorry blowing the whistle. I refuse to accept charges of   treachery and mutiny. I am not a hero but I am not villain either. I refuse to give up what I believe in. I will not stop. This is war, my friends. History will hold this day in its pages or it will hold no pages. Trance, Den, now Dulcet and many others are heroes, martyrs, brothers and people, just like us. They did not hesitate. They willingly gave up everything. They did great deeds. Take them or leave them because today we decide what we actually want. All these years showed us that there is no alternative for home. No alternative for Earth. No alternative for life.

Let us stop being robots and go back to home." Char proclaimed and broke into tears. 

This might have been the end but....
