Say it with me, Charlie, Say it, “seven.”

Seven.

That’s good Charlie. Seven. How many sister planets are aligned with the Royal Charter?

Seven.

Very good Charlie. Tell me, what was life like before the Black War?

Inhumane. Barbaric. Men murdered, women stole, children became dishonest.

That’s correct Charlie. Tell me who saved your people, Charlie.

The Admiral Fleet. They saved our people.

What were your people like before salvation, Charlie?

Savages.

And who do you owe your life to, Charlie?

To the Admiral Fleet, to Emperor Oeranh.

Wonderful Charlie, so much progress today. One more question, what are you?

I am

Say it Charlie.

Nothing. I am nothing.

Excellent Charlie, the faster you adopt AF doctrine the quicker your recovery will be, you’ll see, remember, we are the chosen, picked by God to save you from yourself.

With that he left.

Charlie blinked. There are eight planets, eight sisters, why couldn’t he remember before? Why is his memory deceiving him?

Unconscious.
