The Manchurian Candidate..
“The truth is usually just an excuse for a lack of imagination.” Garak from DS9
In main conference room of the AMI headquarters, Bursa, Khailfah al Muslimeen
“Frankly you should have expected this to happen…to think you people of all the people in this blasted nation should have learn by the now..that the factions can’t be completely purged…they will always existed…gentlemen…they represent the difference mindsets of the Khailfah ruling system…like it or not…they are here to test…all these purges were pointless. Its not the way to manger the other factions…but no one would listen to the simple logic. Its better not to piss them off and your better off dealing with them…now you have piss them off by constantly attacking them…now all of you…will face the reactions to your actions…my dear gentlemen…the factions will fight back for their right to exist in the ruling system. They will use the only weapon they can get their hands on …a sleeper. Gentlemen... they are going to use sleepers to fight back…I already told the Sultan that sleeper is going to attack…here is what I said to him.. “Your attacker will be close to you, but not too close…your attacker will not be there when he attacks you, yet your attacker was there when he attacked you..but not in mind…when will this happen..its not known…yet your attack will strike when the sign is given.. the scene of this attack…will happen in plain sight of everyone…but why does the attacker do it..is unknown…”..there is little that we can do to find out whos the sleeper…even if we find out..it would to be too late…so don’t brother with that..just brother with trying to figure out who is behind it…another thing you must know gentlemen.. the outsiders..have nothing to do with it..its all an inside job…the factions would never ask for outsider support it would ruin their image..and to answers your questions how I know all this….remember now…I am tailor..and own a shop in Istanbul..I tend to overhear rumors and theories…quite often…and your all wondering why I am back…well I got tired of self impose exile…and plus I want to help the Sultan..my ex student to live another day..plus working for the good old AMI…once again would be good for an old man like me.”said Faruq al Mafee bin Hāni,he had a white bread, his skin was fairly tanned, he was in his mid 50s .He was wearing a black suit with black button up shirt; one thing was standing out, he had on a white tie, the white tie was his trademark , he always wear it all the time.
“Why should we even brother to trust you..old Faruq…the reasons why you left…was most interesting…you just wanted to get away…or was it something else..it remains unclear to us why you left the then OI..” asked
Chairmen of the High Guard Pavel Chekov aka Bester (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v504/Ottoman01/bester.jpg)
“Its still good to know that Intel agencies of the Khailfah are still paranoid….as they were when I left…and none of you would understand..I wanted to see the world…for not sites…gentlemen. to study the other cultures and their mindsets.. And other things…as for trust…why should we trust the ex-KGB, or MI5 and etc...Besides I have turn my back on my nation and my people…I am only back to help my nation…and my ex student…that’s all.” Reply Faruq
“Gentlemen, we can all trust Faruq…he is one of the best commissars of the AMI, when he was one…anyways the severely of this matter required both the High Guard and AMI to work together .therefore we will work together for the stake of saving the Sultan life…remember gentlemen your foe is not yourselves…it’s the factions that seek to harm the state.. it’s the factions is our common foe…always remember that gentlemen.. let this be the beginning …of closer working relationship between our three agencies..for the greater good of our nation.” Said Head of Al Muslimeen Intelligence- Seyyed Zia'eddin Tabatabaee (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v504/Ottoman01/200422_134215_2_006.jpg)
“Of course we all want to save the Sultan…at all cost…and if that means that we have to work together for the greater good…both agencies will work as one to prevent the factions from killing the Sultan by their sleeper agents.” Said Director of High Guard -Khan Noonien Singh (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v504/Ottoman01/V000628008C.jpg)
“Well then gentlemen…since this is primly AMI run project. I am guessing this is going to be mostly AMI agents handling this mission and etc?” asked Chairmen of the AMI- Ibrahim Abboud (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v504/Ottoman01/freeman.jpg)
“Yes, its going to be all AMI agents…do the fact..most of the High Guard personnel…busy with running the gate progarm…plus our other side projects…therefore we don’t have the personnel to join in the hunt for the sleeper,but I will assign one agent to this hunt..I am sure he’ll be useful for the mission....yet how many people know about the sleeper and the attack on the Sultan, Faruq?”ask Khan
“Besides the Sultan, and you guys…no one else on our side for now… But of course the factions will know..its funny you know…after the years of chaos we purges our nation of these factions so that our ruling system won’t have the same problems as the old system…what’s the price we pay for wanting peace within the system and without the factions…is the that factions will always exist and will be bend for revenge for Sultan Asad purges and the recent purges…its do to our short term thinking that this is coming to bite us in ass..oh well it’s the price to pay to keep the system faction less for the good of the state…the factions will always exist because …they represent the radical mindsets of our ruling system…and therefore will always exist…they are constant…we must get to use to..althought we could find a better way of manger these radicals….we can’t find a way..therefore we’ll be in constant war with the factions and we must win all the time at all cost…well gentlemen, I must leave now …I have a tailor shop to run . I will pass down any information, that I might overhear, just remember it going to happen within the next four days...intill then…I bet a good bye, its been grand to speak the AMI heads and of course the High Heads.” Said Faruq and he got up and then left the conference room and went back to Istanbul.
Then Khan ended the meeting of the Intel heads and the AMI and High Guard went to work..to find out who was the sleeper and who was behind this…plot to kill the Sultan..
Later that day
At the Sultan Palace, at the tea room
The Sultan, the Primie Minister, and their wives(well one of the sultan wives) plus invited guest were having tea and discussing daily events
“Its bloody insane nowadays in Parliament…I mean…we are divide into two camps..one the conservative bloc and the other is the reformist bloc…although we can out voted them in the Parliament and House of Viziers..there is a lot of tension between the blocs..once in the while…a fight breaks out a between one of the newly elected ministers who says a smart ass remark to one of the elder minister…and long story short…that poor ministers get the helling beaten out of him…by an old minister with wooden canes..well at least its not like the days before the years of Chaos were the factional divide was so bad..that one insult to another minister and your dead…because of your factional allegiance…could lead to your death in those days…thank goodness after the Years of Chaos.. we got rid of most the factional system…although hey…ministers getting the hell beaten out of them by a older minister with a cane is classic…if I must say.” Said Prime Minister Uthman Bin Bashir (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v504/Ottoman01/baltar.jpg) and he took a sip of his tea
The Sultan wife Empress Roxelane Lisowska bin Bashir (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v504/Ottoman01/EvaLongoriaX.jpg) looked at the Sultan brother the Prime Minister, in mock horror and finally made a comment
“ Doesn’t the Parliament Men-at-Arms stop these fights between the Ministers..or do they just watch these fights for kicks?”
The Prime Minister smiles and took another sip of his tea and then explains
“The Parliament Men-at-Arms job is to protect Parliament and to maintain order yes..but they don’t want to enter a fight between ministers. Since it tends to get messy…unless gets out of hands…they don’t brother with minor fights that rarely break out in Parliament between the ministers..we can manger ourselves in terms of keeping law and order within the Parliament.…its quite…fun to watch fights between the ministers over personal matters…ministers don’t tend to take any insults lighter… they will go beat the hell out of you for insult them or enter a seaming match with you in the debate..like I said fights are rare, but ministers yelling at eachother..that’s quite common..its all to allow ministers to vent their feeling thought yelling at eachother then to beating the hell out of eachother..but it doesn’t work that way always..” explain the Prime Minister
“Well that’s our semi democratic system in action….action in the sense of ministers yelling at each other or beating each other..wow..some system of government, well…at least it entertaining for the most part and functioning well and helping the state keep from falling into chaos..” remark Dr. Christina al Bashir (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v504/Ottoman01/natalie_portman-2.jpg)
“How true.. Sultan I hope you don’t mind me asking a question, to clear up a matter that’s not clear to me?” asked Jessica Anneliese Louise, who was an young Dutch opera singer, who was only 20 years old and was an good friend to the Sultan wife Roxelane..althought the Sultan couldn’t stand opera..which another story for another day
“Yes, Jessica..what is it that you need to know?” reply Sultan Suleiman Al Bashir II (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v504/Ottoman01/73.jpg) and then he took a sip of his tea
“Well, I was hoping to get a clear answer on the subject of assassination attempts on your life…some newspapers state four and others state five and a few state only two times and plus most of the assassinations and the tells of these assassination attempts are…a bit far from the truth.” Said Jessica
The Sultan took a deep breath and explain her what really happen
“Ok let the me state this the those bloody newspaper could never get their facts straight.. first of all there was only TWO assassination attempts.. and the storming of the Palace during the Black Banner attempted coup doesn’t count…because it was more of battle then attempt on my life…and I only got shot once in the leg in that battle and got beaten petty bad..anyways back to the point the first time got shot at during my time so far as Sultan, was when I was giving a speech to nation after the Army crush a anger mob..and the traitorous factions had manger to put two of their agents in my Imperial Black Guard, and those two traitors ..shot me during a live address to the nation and world…lucky my bulletproof vest save my life and prevent like 20 bullets from hitting although…two did get thought and my hit my chest… but luckily miss my heart..but it took me a week to recover from that attack…and the second assassination attempts was when I having a meeting with the Viceroy of Eurasia Dominion…yet again the factions had their spies undercover as Viceroy guards to assassinate the Viceroy and myself, they manger to kill the Viceroy with easy, but I manger to defend my self, since I had my sword on me..well let me put this way, they have guns and I have swords…they fired their weapons at me and lucky my bulletproof vest save my life yet again..but they stabbed me a couple time, and lucky missed my major organs…and then one of them good the bright idea of throwing me thought a window and the building has like four stories and I was at the third story..so they threw me thought the window and I fell in freefall and landed on cart full of fertilizer..which thankful broke my fall…agh…out of sheer luck..only four bullet manger to break thought my vest and hit my left lung and they only stabbed me ten times… the fall was what really got me..at least half of my bones were broken…I was in the medical center for at least a month…well that it…there is only two attempts on my life, besides I been shot at before while I was in the Army and briefly during the Sino Jihads, but that’s about it.” Explain the Sultan.
“ Ah…that clears up a lot of stuff..so has the faction threat been removed finally?” Asked Jessica
The Sultan thought for moment before answering that question
“For the most part the faction threat is gone…thanks to the purges and crack downs on these groups…for the most part the threat is gone..” reply the Sultan in a coded matter , what Faruq told him about the plot against his life,two months ago still was troubling him deeply and he hide it well..
Then a Imperial Black Guard Officer enter the tea room and told him that his tailor was here to do his suit fittings , the Sultan quickly excuse himself and left the tea room, shortly after that Prime Minister and his wife also excuse themselves and went back to their home. Just leaving Roxelane and Jessica , both were somewhat puzzle by the Sultan answer to Jessica question…
The Sultan walked to into his office where his tailor was waiting for him, it was no other then Faruq al Mafee bin Hāni, his old teacher. He quickly lock his office door and walked to greet his old teacher
The Sultan looked at him and said the following
“Well, Faruq why have you came…you don’t visited that often whenever you do..it usually mean its very important now tell me …old teacher what news do you being to me.”
Faruq simply smiled and said
“Sultan, I am only here to tailor your new suit for that upcoming opera event of yours.”
“Oh yes…that opera event…so your are going to update your measurements of myself to make new suit for me?” asked the Sultan
“Of course I have to get exact measurements of you, to make the new suit prefect for you…have you any good books lately?” ask Faruq, and then he took out his tape measure to take his measurements of the Sultan
“Not lately…been busy with running the government and etc.” remark the Sultan
“Well I read recently Frankenstein by Mary Shelly..its most interesting book if I must say…man tries to create life and his creature is rejected... and comes back for revenge ..for being rejected by his creator…how did the monster gets his revenge…by killing everyone his creator love and care for …so just his master can be like him alone in the world..doesn’t it remind you of something…” remark Faruq
“ How so?” asked the Sultan
“Well, for us.. my Sultan …the Frankenstein monster is that sleeper, I told of….something has change about the complex hint I give you.. well the entire premise for the plot against you has changed ..so therefore …the sleeper part of the hint is void..the person they were planning to use…well they won’t use him and make into a sleeper…because they found a better simple minded pawn is a one track for revenge… well here goes the new plot hint for you my student “Your attacker will be indirectly close to you.. he’ll has a great love for an art form of some type…your wives will be more closer to him then you…but they wouldn’t suspect a thing. nor would they know of the plot.. that’s all I can tell you at moment…besides there was last minute changes in plans by your old friends of the factions…they saw a golden opportunity and they seize it.. your still wondering if I am on your side or theirs…I am not on their side you can trust me on that fact and beware plot is constantly changing for many reasons to be unknown..…but how am I ..able to get this information….I have my ways..which will remain secret for now.” Said Faruq
The Sultan took a deep breath and remark
“How interesting..they decide to change their plans…now this is just speculation …they are going to use this poor twist soul to attack me in public…just making a lasting impact…so just using logic the only public event I will attending soon is that opera at the Istanbul Opera House on Sunday and today is Thursday..it’s the prefect place for an attempt on my life..but who..that’s the question stuck in my mind..” remark the Sultan
“Ah, my student showing me, that he finally is learning..good good…well I am done with my measurements and I’ll be back later to do the final fittings for your new suit, in till then my student.” Said Faruq and he left the Sultan in his office and he disappear from the hallways of the palace and headed back to his tailor shop.
With that…the Sultan was left to think to himself about the upcoming plot against him and who could it be..
