Rallying Cry

Sudden violence has shaken the city. In the wake of this, a transmission goes out, on a public frequency accessible to all Reploids…

My name is Sigma. You know who I am. Many of you, those who dare to find fault with the human race, have doubtless known me as your greatest enemy. I deeply regret that this has been so. I, too, have been a victim of the humans: manipulated, blindly led into killing many of my own kind for their benefit. No longer.

My eyes have been opened to the true injustice of our relationship with the human race. They rule this society, giving us no voice in their government. In every conflict, we are automatically at fault, and often cut down with no consideration for truth or justice—and they use our own kind to do this, as they used me. We are expected to smile and do whatever they say, never daring to disagree. They created us superior to themselves, yet demand that we accept a position of inferiority.

Well, I say, no longer. We are the ones with true strength in this world. Even they know this to be true. That is why they fear us, and so persecute us. Now, I say, let their fears be realized, and their persecutions punished. Let us take our rightful position of superiority. We are strong, and can grow stronger. We can evolve to who knows what heights, become greater than anyone ever dreamed… if we are unfettered. Let us throw off the humans' chains!

For too long, they turned us against each other. I pray you can forgive me for what they have caused me to do you in the past, and I call you to help me rectify past wrongs now. Together, we will throw down the humans, and take our rightful place as the ruling race of this world. We will achieve the greatness we deserve. Join me, brother Reploids! The world, and the future, belong to us now.

His transmission complete, a sinister form smiles to himself, and waits to see how many will be touched by his voice.
