"Good evening Mos Entha... This is, News News News.... Tonight we have a report o-"

*The screen flickers and turns to static momentarily, it cuts back to Valentino in the newsroom with a finger in his ear, he looks up realizing they are back on*

"... oh.. Ahem... Yes.. just some technical trouble there folks but everything is ok now.. .so... tonight ..."

*The screen cuts off completely and the transmission changes*

*A dark silhouette appears, a distorted voice starts speaking*

***TO ALL IMPERIAL 'CITIZENS' WHO HEAR THIS***

Make up your own mind after you have heard this. Forget it, spit on it, think about it.. whatever.

Have you ever felt like you are not really free, although the Empire told you and all the other civilians that everybody is free now? Have you ever wondered if everything they told you is true, ever questioned any propaganda or what is on the Holotv? Have you ever had the feeling that you want to see all these propagandist things yourself and not just take it all as true because you hear and see those 'stories' everywhere? Have you ever thought that it might be better to wear chains than to believe you are free, and weight yourself down with invisible chains..?
Have you ever had the feeling that you want to think for yourself, make up your own mind.. but there is something that feels like a weight on your shoulders, like a depression..
You are not alone in this.

Have you ever made fists and felt angry but powerless when you saw Imperials beat up other civilians or non-humans on the street and acting very rude to you and other civilians.. like some military regime, like a regime that could be the opposite of freedom..? Have you ever felt irritated because of another ID check and/or contraband scan 'to protect you from rebel terrorists' but you've never actually SEEN such a 'terrorist' from your eyes and you wonder if the 'facts' in the propaganda about this are true? Have you ever even wondered if those 'terrorists' really are terrorists, evil people that kill innocent civilians?
You are not the only one.

Have you ever thought of another, better world, maybe without the Empire? Have you ever wondered if everything maybe was better instead of worse BEFORE the Empire?

They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself. Progress is a nice word. But change is its motivator. And change has its enemies. Change means movement. Movement means friction. Only in the frictionless vacuum of a nonexistent abstract world can movement or change occur without that abrasive friction of conflict.
Be the change you want to see in the world. And if you think you are too small to be effective you've never slept with a mosquito. Even one mosquito can be very irritating.. but there are much more. We all together, even if we do really small things (like spreading a holonet message like this), can be a very big pain in the butt for the Empire!
It WILL become better. The rebel alliance WILL win someday, it is inevitable. We are already gaining more and more terrain.
However long the night, the dawn will break!

It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society. If you feel you don't fit in and you want to do something about this, take the things from this letter to your heart and hopefully you have gained back some hope. It is for a big part because of you citizens, that someday there will be freedom again in this galaxy!
May the Force be with you all,

someone just like you.
