**Brooks:** My True Sons. Welcome. It's so lovely to see you again tonight. I know this road has been very hard, but I promise you, we are getting close to our new home. I have seen it, I have felt it in my soul. Soon, we will arrive at our Jerusalem, our Rome, the start of our great new nation.

**Brooks:** Some of you came to me, especially early on, with your concerns. General Brooks, you told me, you speak of the New America as if it is a holy mission. A prophecy. A vision from God. If we succeed, what awaits us in the new world? We're soldiers, defined by our wars. Can we truly start over? And most importantly, is it truly possible to undo the deep roots of corruption, greed, and hate? Is it possible to change human nature?

**Brooks:** I understand your questions, your doubts. These are the same ones I struggle with every day. Every night, I ask God for answers, for guidance. Sometimes I receive an answer; sometimes I do not.

**Brooks:** I have told you that we need to focus on the here and now. That what comes later is not to be feared or worried about. I have only received glimpses of the glory that is to come, the paradise we will create. All I can tell you is it will be worth the struggle, the loss. That we will be rewarded for our dedication.

**Brooks:** And yes, I too have doubts if we can truly uproot and tear our such darkened roots that plague our society, our nature. Hatred, division, corruption, greed, poverty, and war. We have lived with them our whole lives, and for as long as history records. It won't be something we can erase overnight. But the truth is this. Look around you, at your brothers and sisters. You come from all races, all religions, all backgrounds. What unites you? The uniform? A name? No, a cause. A belief in a better world. You cast aside what divided you, and embraced each other as equals. We've already done what you think is impossible right here. What makes you think we can't apply this brotherhood on a wider scale?

**Brooks:** Our cause is true, and it is just. All those outside fight for petty struggles. Power. Materialism. Revenge. All things that do not and will never matter. Even those who claim to be a uniting force only cause further divides. Look at the Division. It's in the name; they only seek to divide us. To maintain the status quo of the old world, where neighbor hated neighbor over minor squabbles, over such worthless things like politics and religion. Where America, a force meant to be a beacon of unity where people can cast aside such meaningless divisions was arguably the most divided nation on earth.

**Brooks:** Not us. They will call us zealots. Fascists. Traitors to our country. But these are simply labels. They think by labeling us as such, it will keep us as simple little puppets, that it will stop us. But we came together to toss off such labels, to focus on what brings us together and not what separates us. This is our mission, our great purpose. To bring mankind into a glorious, collective future. Free of war, hate, corruption, greed, and poverty. That is our mission, and all who oppose us would see us be mired in sin and division for all time. But they are relics, skeletons holding on to a dead world. And they will fade into dust in the end. For I have seen how this ends. And I assure you...the New America is not a possibility. It is a certainty. Keep that in your heart. Hold the cause close to you. Have faith in each other, in me, and in the future. And we will achieve things you never thought possible.

**Brooks:** Goodnight to you, my True Sons. Bless you all.
