[ charles is visibly distressed when he appears on the screen, this time. he's in what seems to be some underground facility, and there are other faces behind him—notably collette, emma, galadriel, raven, and others. his eyes remain closed for a second and you can hear him take a deep breath. then: ]

We have... borrowed a gentleman by the name of Richard Lawson...—from the United Earth. He is a cabinet member of the President's. Yes, the President of the United Earth. [ charles clears his throat, steels himself. ]

We've learnt a great many things about the United Earth from his head, and we feel it best to share that information with all of you, here on the Network.

[ charles states the next words with a heavy voice. ]

The President of the United Earth is not human. "He" is—artificial. Artificial Intelligence, or what you would call an A.I.. The United Earth... has never seen his face, as far as we have deduced.

We will try to answer questions about what we have learnt to the very best of our ability, but do be patient. Ah—[ he closes his eyes again, considering. then he nods as though he's made the right decision and he knows it. ]

That is all.

You seem an honest sort, in truth I did not expect such a reaction from you. People with my power... [ More like simply her. ] we are not well liked, most who know what I am and what I am capable of look upon with me fear and often hatred. They would have me dead.

It pleases me to see there are people here that are more receptive for such powers. [ Even if part of her still believes that most would hate her if they knew the whole truth of her skill. ]

[ Charles pauses, then looks solemn. ] It is much like that where I come from, as well.

—But it has been refreshingly different here!

Is it? [ Her own expression grows solemn. ] I am sorry.

That is truly relieving to hear.
