Welcome to the Greater Mind (Introductory RP)
"Hello subsection 4308921, we are the Greater Mind, the beginning and the end, the many who are one. Welcome to the Greater Mind."
4308921, a female human, strapped to a surgical bed.
"Where am I?"
Said 4308921, disorientated and with a pounding headache, the voice in her head only amplifying her discomfort.
"You are in Facility 4102485, a hospital. We found you on our border, it was apparant that you were being chased, for reasons that are closed to us though we have probed your mind, that is why you feel the discomfort that you are so hating at this time."
Though loud, the voice was soothing and full of care.
"Who are you?"
Said 4308921, her disorientation and pounding headache dissolving away as her arm was pumped with a concoction of pain killers.
"We told you before, we are the greater mind, the many who are one, the democratic dictatorship. The voice you are hearing is the voice of all others connected to the Greater Mind, as you are probably aware, this must include you also. How could you hear us if you are not a part of us?"
"I dont know. But why am I connected?"
"That is a better question, you are with us because fate delivered you to us. Injured on our borders, you were beyond help. We could heal your wounds but your mind was in chaos. We felt it our duty in this universe to bring chaos and turn it into order and harmony. Your mind was in disarray. We have healed you."
The voice now seemed full of pride though the calm was intermingled with it.
"Can I leave?"
"Unfortunately, that is not possible. We could send you out of our borders, but our voice would always be there, your interaction with others would be difficult, you would feel astranged from them. Even if we were to remove the link, your grace would diminish into the gaping maws of depression and doom, your death would be a tragic loss. We apologize for the heavy mood we have set upon you.
Your only other choice is to remain with us, to a life of both individuality and collective thought, a blissful paradox that should not be investigated but should be embraced in order to feel the moment. Join us and you shall know a life unique to this world.
The voice was loving and caring, it had just offered 4308921 a new life, a new prospect of existence. An existance of grace, love, compassion and unity. An offer too tempting to refuse.
"Yes, I shall."
"Humans everywhere, we are the Greater Mind, the Many who are One, the Democratic Dictatorship. A paradoxal existance of both individuality and collective consciousness together intermingled. We ask that you embrace us as friends and allies in the chaotic universe. We seek to bring order and harmony to this chaos and to create a paradise of thought."

Chaos through warfare
Evolution through bloodshed
Perfection through victory
That are the great principles of life, and thusly, nature.
Societies of great beauty, order and control, collective minds like yours, may look beautiful, may be beautiful, but they are doomed to fail.
That is the law of nature, and we are sad that you are so obviously doomed to learn this fact in the near future.
However, while we are obviously not interested in sharing your beauty, we have no hostile feelings, nor any other interests besides curiosity, for your people.
Only pity.

"Now it becomes interesting...
As we are aware that warfare and bloodshed are also great destructive powers which destroy much that is worth being conserved, we are always willing to find new ways that serve chaos in a less... destructive way.
Tell us, how can you serve a tamed chaos, being part of a greater mind?
Would it be possible to survey work, so that we might learn from it?"

Who said anything about SERVING a tamed chaos. Nature is essentially chaos and we were talking about controlling nature through the taming of chaos.

"Well... An individualistic society linked into a collectvist mind? Very strange indeed. Are they like the others and demanding other nations submit?" dinAthos asked her aide.
The aide shook his head. "No, I'm sure they wouldn't mind, but they seem very polite and wish to tame the chaos of the world."
dinAthos nodded. "Well, that's a point in their favor. Send the usual greeting to the nation and our wishes that they not encounter undue dificulty in their future."

"We are the Greater Mind, We seek to bring chaos to order, anarchy to control. Subsections who are connected to the Greater Mind can communicate with each other and share information quickly across our Collective Consciousness, while connected they are permitted to retain their individuality. This creates an efficient communications system faster than any internet, the shared bliss of collective thought and suggestion and the personal freedom of individuality. This is what we mean by individualism and collective consciousness together, a democratic dictatorship is a literal term for our government."

only 1/4 of our people are hooked up to a similar collective.the rest are individuals who make their own choices.
now excuse me, i must regenerate.
Crime, Civil Disobedience and Treason do not happen within the Greater Mind. There are several reasons pertaining to this.
1. Any act of Crime, Civil Disobedience and Treason that occur would be instantly detected and known by the rest of the Greater Mind.
2. Any act of Crime, Civil Disobedience and Treason is an act of chaos against order. Since many are linked to the Greater Mind, then they are continually though perhaps unintentionally indoctrinated.
3. Any act of Crime, Civil Disobedience and Treason commited is punishable by immediate severing of the Greater Mind link with the offender. After a few weeks, the subject always enters a state of madness.
This is criminal! Who do you think you are!

Collectivism! You know not of what you speak. Collectivism is the destruction of the individual and the slavery of everyone to a system, no hive mind. Our way is one of both collective consciousness and individuality, the best of both worlds.

~First Son Palas
Why should one feel the need to repent? All actions are carefully thought out and are carried out with a degree of logic. We do not repent for that would mean that we regret our decisions, we do not for they have created a good standard of life, at least mentally for all connected to the Greater Mind. Your actions are based on nothing but mindless zeal, zeal that has done more to deny free will to sentient beings than our Greater Mind could ever infringe upon. We desire no conflict.
The Greater Mind is composed of individuals that CHOSE to link with the Greater Mind in order to share each others individuality, they lost none. In fact they gained two individual senses, their own and the Collective Mind itself. We have denied nothing.
We also request military protection for we have done no evil or wrong to any and in case Istar chooses to invade, we feel the need for protection.
Thankyou.
