Chapter 222 - 221

V.20.5

Suddenly the video began to focus, and the face of an alien race appeared before them. They immediately recognize the race to be  Crimto, a vampire-like race. 

This race was known for their special metals known as blood metal. 

"My name is Ikar," Boom! an explosion happened close by making him bend down to take cover. 

A few seconds later. "My name is Ikar. And we are being attacked by Ganesh. They came without warning, destroying our defenses. Ma.. many died." Ikar looked around and saw a small table at the corner of the house and ran into it and hid under it. 

"Many surrendered but they killed them all anyways including… including my parents. They killed them all women, children even… darm it.. even babies.. they killed them all. Those bastards, they entered the birthing facility and… and.. gods.. they killed them all.. all those innocent ba.." boom. The video ended. 

And another video takes its place.. 

A voice of a man can be heard giving order.

"Hurry up, we must reach them before them." 

"Yes Sir!, Hurry, Hurry!"

A Group of soldiers can be seen, they are not human but of other race, but one look and anyone could tell what kind of battle they have been through, many of them have injuries in their body. Some are even missing an arm.

But despite that determination can be seen in their eyes, the video was skipped. 

"No! Were too late… sir we have to save them!" 

"Shhhh, put your head down!" 

They can be seen taking cover in a fallen pillar.

The man holding the camera lifted the camera up and pointed it to something. At first the video was blurry but as the camera automatically adjusted the focus, a group of Ganesh can be seen, they are rounding up a group of civilians young man, women, little kids of all ages, even old people, all of them look miserable, dirty and full of fears, some of the women can even be seen carrying some baby wrapped in dirty cloths. 

"Sir! We have to save them, my family is on there" one of the soldiers look at his captain with panic and anger as well as a pleading look on his face. 

"I know, you don't have to tell me that. That is why we are here." 

He then started giving a set of instructions on how to execute the rescue attempt. But suddenly before they can even move. A shot was heard. 

"Noooo! Noooo! Kashaaaa…" one soldiers immediately stood up and rush in, with tears and blood on his mouth clearly he has bitten his lips from being to angry. 

"No! Stop him!" Seeing there's no stopping the man. "Shit! go!,go!go! Attaaaack!" 

The camera is shaking violently because the man holding it is running, but they can hear the shouting and the explosions. Then the camera was dropped, the man holding it was killed fortunately the camera was dropped pointing at were the soldiers are fighting and so everyone can see what's happening. 

Dead bodies everywhere. The civilians from before was all killed, GT turn the video into black and white to reduce the violences being seen, but despite that the scene was etched in everyone who is watching. 

They saw one of the soldiers dropping his weapons and lifted up a dead woman with the baby still clutched in her arms only a huge hole can clearly be seen where her chest was and a huge part of the baby is missing. All the while other soldiers continued to fight, and the only sound anyone was able to hear were explosions, and muffled voices of shouting and crying. 

A few seconds later all sound disappeared all soldiers were killed and a Ganesh can be seen stepping over the bodies. 

The video ended. 

One after another, GT showed them the cruelty of war with the Ganesh. Every video has one thing in common, all of them are about civilians, powerless many of them surrendered, but the outcome is the same. 

Ten videos were shown stirring their emotions by the end of all the video, everyone was clenching their fist hard. Many have tears in their eyes. All of them have heard a lot of news about it, people telling how bad it was. 

But that's all there is to it, people telling others they feel bad for sure, but not enough to bring them to tears, not enough to stir their emotions. But watching these videos, they heard the voices, the emotions of the people in the video, their desperation, fear and their helplessness and hopelessness. 

It would be a lie if they said they didn't hate Ganesh after watching it. 

These videos are collected by our many surveillance drones and many are accidentally acquired through various channels. 

The one on Princess Pearl is one of those accidents. We lost surveillance drones all the time, 99.9% of the time its for other reasons like being hit by asteroids or being hit by travelling sh.i.p.s, to a stupid reason as flying close to a sun. Believe me, the list is endless. And those data are being sent to our data collection centre where then it would be reviewed to see if there's any worth saving. 

Billions of gigabits are being transferred on a daily basis.  And it took us a lot of time to process them all. And the one related to princess pearl was only reviewed recently and only came to my attention a few days ago. 

"So we decided to give everyone a closure you deserve and for their Loved ones to know the truth about what happened to them. It is what we believe what the crew of princess pearl would have wanted." Said Dianna. 

"Now you know the true identity of Ganesh, you also now know their purpose and objectives and their nature." Dianna looks around seeing the hatred in their eyes. Of course not towards her or GT but to Ganesh. She continues

"Next is why did we show this to all of you? The reason is very simple recently it came to our attention that the Ganesh have managed to plant spies in our midst who have sold their souls to the enemies of not just humanity but to everyone living in Bright Galaxy. They will do anything for their new master sowing discord and chaos feeding you false promise and information."

"And believe me their promises are sweet enough to even make the best among us to be swayed. Enough for some to even sell their souls."

"Now many of you are questioning the purpose of this war. And believe me, we at GT ask the very same questions. It's the reason why we never participated in the war. 

But instead opted to devote ourselves to developing weapons that can protect us if necessary. After all, seeking peace without power is pointless; there's only one result for that… subjugation, and I for one, don't want to become someone's slave, nor do i hope for any other person to become a slaves."

"Its the very reason we fight slavery to the very end and to free our cloned brothers and sisters giving them rights like anyone else, of course in a perfect world we can do all that and more, but unfortunately we are living in a flawed and cruel world where someone would disguise subjugation as peaceful end, and disguise slavery as progress under someone else rule."

Dianna paused, looking at everyone and said. "You are free to do so, if you think being a slave is better than fighting back. Sure by all means go to them. But don't include us in it. For we will fight back for those we have lost and for those we can still save, those are our motivation in GT to move forward and build a better future." 

She paused look at everyone then smile "Thank you for all the support," with that Dianna stopped speaking  

There was silence until someone started clapping, and like a dam that's been opened. Soon everyone started clapping even those who came to make trouble ended up clapping without realizing it.

The question and answer portion followed and Dianna and the rest answered them all. 

And when the press conference ended. In a faraway place, a lady could be seen in a room cursing non-stop. That lady was none other than the Queen.
