Failed independence

[Zack Glover]

Today I tried something I had in mind for some time. Trying to declare independence fro Nanotrasen, as  the Captain of the Cyberiad.

I started the round by going to HoP's office and telling him my intentions, after a little speech about "those umproductive regulations. the burden that is SOP to the crew" and many many more. Then I told him to get someone to get a GPS to CentComm, but he ended up doing it himself, so I organized with CE and the mechanic to build him a spacepod in order to find it.

After some trouble with the mainboard, the chief engineer asked me about this mission and I told him to go to my office, where I told him again what I had told HoP.

Things were going somewhat well, but HoP being in space made the NT Rep and Blueshield worried about it being in a violation of SOP. Blueshield asked me about this mission, for which I only replied with "Freedom is coming" and "You'll learn soon" (I ain't disclosing information to Nanotrasen special envoyes).

Then the representative came to my office, asking for details, which I denied to him once again, and tried to earn time while HoP was still floating arround searching for centcomm. In the meantime I was planning ways to get a gps to centcomm via the cargo shuttle.

After 5 minutes, CentComm made an announcement: He demanded me to fax them the details of the secret mission I've sent the HoP on, under threat of being put down by operatives.

After dealing with RD for an unrelated issue, I went to my office and announced my real intentions: Breaking the chains that subjugated the cyberiad under NanoTrasen, and declaring the independence of the Independent Republic of the Cyberiad via announcement.

This was followed by a moment of confusion by the crew, followed by some voices speaking on favour of the independence, and people standing by my side.

Bad news, the specops from CC were already at the door to my office, ready to get me into CC.

Upon my arrival to CentComm, the crew was spamming support for the republic in the Public chat and both HoP and CE were singing revolutionary phrases into command's channel while I was awaiting for my execution. I was tied to a chair, and after a short argument about who betrayed who, I got a bullet between my eyes from one of the spec ops, while hearing screams for revolution.

But what CC (nor anyone who boarded the shuttle by that matter) knew, was that HoP and CE had planned for one to get on the shuttle with a GPS, for a succesful BSA of centcomm! >:D

 

Then I tried it again, but admins pmed me so... one thing is killing the cap, other is banning him ;-;
