PART THIRTY…SIX
To My Lord Turn； Justiciary of the Royal Courts and Prison； Government City； Planet Voltar； Voltar Confederacy
Your Lordship； Sir！
I； Soltan Gris； Grade XI General Services Officer； former Secondary Executive of the Coordinated Information Apparatus； Voltar Confederacy （Long Live His Imperial Majesty Cling the Lofty）； am herewith presenting with all due humility the fifth volume of the confession of my crimes。
