about

For over a thousand years, our civilization, our colony, our people, have experienced great peace here resting high among the heavens. We have grown to appreciate the innumerable gifts of the universe, and shared them with all that we call brother, as our ancestors could only dream of. We’ve learned that which the fathers of our fathers spent lifetimes searching and pleading for, and we’ve come to understand why it is that we know.

As I stand here before you, I’m met with tremendous sadness, an emotion I only knew in text form, from the ancient scripts. Heartbroken, I regret to inform you that here, on the very steps of our great home we lovingly call Endai, our Forever Peace has come under threat.

I fail to understand what forces drive this malice, but I fall short of ever comprehending what sickness could drive a people to eradicate peace in the name of greed. No, with the vastness of space, and the plentitude of infinite resources, I can think of no other culprit than the wrathful sub-emotion of pride, a feeling our ancestors rid themselves of for the love of their children.

With a heavy heart I must ask you beautiful citizens of Endai, to take arms and join me, momentarily fill your hearts with an emotion so evil I dare not speak it, and rid our paradise of these mongrels. If we are to give our children any hope, any glimpse of Forever Peace, then we must sacrifice our cleansed souls, burden them so that we may rise up and wage war against our would be captors.

I for one, refuse to die twice.
