Decisive Action

The Czar Roger Fabus has announced that Mississippi will totally legalize cloning of human cells, particularly nerve cells and brain cells, not entire humans though, and this will augment the already existing program of organ cloning.
The Czar has assembled a team of two thousand geneticists, doctors, and scientists, and given them a deadline of one year to find a workable, effective, and safe treatment for Parkinson’s disease.
(Cut to footage of the Czar talking to the doctors and the rest on the team, assembled in a massive conference room)
Roger is standing before a large room; he clears his throat and starts to speak.
"You will not rest until your job is done, and Parkinson's has been defeated... You will not go on vacation; you will not eat unless you can do so whilst working... I don't care if your entire family dies and there are dozens of funerals, you can watch tapes of them later. This project WILL receive your top priority... Correction, this project is your only project, I don't care if you have other projects, they're on hold until this is done..."
One of the doctors raised his hand, after Roger called on him, he meekly asked, "But sir, don't we..." Roger immediately cut him off, "No buts!, there are no exceptions!" Roger then fired a pistol a few times into the air and shouted, "One year! Get moving, you'll need every second!" the entire room had emptied out within two minutes.
Roger smiled and walked into the neighboring room, where another team of two thousand scientists and researchers had been assembled… He grinned as he walked up to the podium. One of the men asked, “Czar, why are we here?”
The Czar chuckled, “You are here because you are going to be honored with the opportunity to treat multiple sclerosis… As you all undoubtedly know, our labs that had treatment plans and methods for the disease were all located in Angola, and they were all subsequently destroyed when that colony fell into the anarchy of black rule… Thus we have to almost start over from scratch. However your project will be aided by the fact that the most important man, the doctor who developed the treatment program, is alive and in Mississippi, however most of his research was lost in Angola, and he is currently suffering from early stages of Alzheimer’s disease, so you’ll need to work quickly… You have approximately eight months to get this project done… I suggest you start now. For everyday over the eight months that you take, I will have one of you shot…” He grinned.
The entire audience gasped and then remained silent… Roger chuckled, “I’m just kidding, I won’t have any of you shot…” They all immediately and in unison, breathed sighs of relief. He nodded, before shouting, “Okay, well joke time is over, get to work… I want to see you all back here in eight months, with the results, positive results… You have no other projects right now except for this one…. Get going.”
Roger turned and walked out of the room as the scientists all moved out the main doors to head to their laboratories.
