"It took large numbers of both humans and robots. The human population demanded it from their leaders, the scientists who built us spoke up, and a lot of robots had done things that left an undeniable good mark on society." Atom might have become a particularly famous face, but there were many more robots in fields like medicine who shifted views with their actions.
Essentially, Atom's approach, believing in a friendship between species, was what had worked instead of the violent one. The thought didn't come to his mind though. Blue Knight's fall had been wrapped in tragedy and controversy, and cost an ally and would be friend. Being correct in the end wasn't a 'victory.'
Atom crosses his arms. "The international allyship that granted our rights worked very differently from the Empire though. While they have a leader, that person is more of a representative of the group than the one telling them what to do. In reality, all member nations have a voice. It's not a perfect system in every way, but it isn't at the whim of a single individual. In many ways, the Corsairs are the population coming together to demand change. But there's only an Emperor at the top."
