"Hi! This is Arnno, in the Afternoon, coming back back from Shalmiraine, live!" "This afternoon we have some guests with something to say about the whole Toxic controversy. They are schoolmates of the so-called illegal clone with some opinions. With me are Sunshine, a Cyclops girl, her friends: Thena Aurora, survivor of Refuge, the flying city downed by a Cyclops nuke four years ago, and Tossi Panchetta, little cousin to ALDUS PANCHETTA, who created the illegal clones AND the cure for the Blight!" Sunshine frowned and said, "That's a run-on sentence with to many pauses in it! That's bad grammar." Arnno laughed, "I'm busted! Also with them is Sunshine's mother, Commander Rose, who is their chaperon." Rose waved. Arno looked at the girls and asked, "I understand you all were pretty fired up to say something?" Sunshine nodded. Thena said, "You bet!" Tossi exclaimed, "TOXIC IS NOT A MONSTER BECAUSE SOMEONE SAYS IT'S SO! ENOUGH HATE! THAT MADJULLA WOMAN IS LYING!" Sunshine blinked and Thena giggled. Sunshine said, "I would not put it that way...but yeah. The Madjulla tried to blow up my MOM, too, so she is no good! Look here...she said Toxic is bad. Madjulla is bad. So if a bad person says a person is bad after trying to KILL them...that person is NOT BELIEVABLE!" Thena said, "Yeah! Are all the people watching stupid or something?" Arnno held up a hand and said, "Whoa, whoa! Hey now! This is supposed to be about Toxic, not assassinating Madjulla's character. What did you want to say about that?" Sunshine said, "What does it MATTER what she is? Really? She's a good person. She has lots of love and loves people more than SOME PEOPLE who try to BLOW THEM UP with MISSILES! She won't hurt anyone unless they are trying to kill them." Tossi put a hand on Thena's knee and said, "Look...Toxic saved me from a bully. She picked him up and tossed him in a bush. I wanted her to smash his face in and beat him up. She wouldn't do it. She said he was damaged by his parents and didn't know anything. She wouldn't let me hit him. I thought he deserved it. Maybe he didn't." Thena swallowed and said, "Rose killed my parents." The audience went crazy with lots of angry shouting and yelling. It took Arnno several minutes to get them quieted down. He asked, "Why did you say that?" Thena said, "I know she was following orders and didn't want to shoot anyone's city down. She found that sneaky alien ship and shot it. The city went down, anyway, but my brother and I survived. Barely, but we survived. I should hate her and all Cyclops." She hugged Sunny and said, "Sunny is my best friend in the whole world and I love her! Rose is cool and wise and stuff. If she could bring back my mom and dad, she would. Cyclops and Humans were enemies ONCE. We ALL, everyone on the planet NEED TO STOP HATING everyone else because someone else says that they are bad people! Learn to love people as they really are, not as other people SAY they are!" Sunshine said, "What is wrong with people? Some Cyclops hate humans, and some humans hate us, and some white humans hate black ones, and some black ones hate the blue ones and little differences get blown up to big walls that keep us all apart! Why? If everyone was the same it WOULD BE BORING! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? JUST STOP IT! STOP ALL THE HATING! YOU PEOPLE DON'T HAVE ANY GOOD SENSE!" Rose wiped her eye and Arnno looked over at her. "Don't look at me. I didn't coach her or put words into her mouth. I just taught her as best as I could. I could NOT be prouder." Arnno asked a question the hushed the audience, "Rose, do you believe in God?" Rose blinked. "I believe in something that is private to me. Why?" Arnno said, "Because our next guest might like to know--The MADJULLA!" Rose lifted out of her seat, and not from politeness, as the Madjulla strode on stage. Arnno said, "We'll be right back after a commercial!"
