Television camera's from nations around the world watched, as throngs of people pushed at the police standing between them, and the platform where the Director was going to deliver his address. The capital had been abuzz with activity all day in preparation for the Director's address. In front of him stood 5,000 soldiers, in full dress uniform, they're rifles in they're hands. The crowds began cheering as the Director walked up the stairs onto the platform. He stood in front of a microphone, and placed his hands in the air. At once the crowds became silent. For a few seconds the only sound was that of the wind, and the water in the nearby river. Then the Director began his address.
"As your Director speaks, so shall you listen," the Director said into the microphone. "The Lord smiles down us, as we smile up at him. The Director is pleased with the progress of the Site. Your hard work is appreciated, and as such, the Director has seen fit to grant all of you two extra rations of whiskey for the next week." The crowd again cheer. The Director let them enjoy they're moment, before he again out his hands up, and they returned to they're silence. "The Director would also like to commend the farmers, as this years yields are up 10% from last season. As such, all rations of farm products are being increased by 5%. The Director is very pleased with most of your work, but some, the Director is not so pleased with." 10 men are lead up onto the platform. They are naked, and shackled together at the ankle. They ranged in age from 15 to 84. "These men have neglected they're responsibilities. They have repeatedly failed to show up for work detail." The crowd let out a gasp, followed by booing, and jeering at the men now on the platform. Just as people began throwing debris at the men, the Director raised his hands, and they stopped, and became silent. "While these men have placed they're personal gain first, and showed utter disregard for the greater good, the Director has decided to show his mercy, and therefore, the Director shall kill them quickly, and with less pain than normal. Then they shall be with the Lord, and he shall accept them into his heart, forgiving them of they're sins, as the Lord is also merciful." He pulled his revolver from it's holster, and started at on end of the line, and fired on round into each mans head, at point blank range, to the right temple. When he was finished, soldiers came, and dragged the bodies away. "The Director has emulated the Lord, with his show of mercy. The traitors have been dealt with swiftly, fairly, and mercifully, before they could cause harm to the society as a whole. Remember, we all must do our duties for the greater good. All that matters is the greater good. The greater good must be preserved. So says the Director, so you have heard." The Director clapped his hands together, and walked off of the podium. The crowds broke into a chant, "Greater Good! Greater Good!"
Moments later...
The Director arrived in a small briefing room, where reporters from the television stations that had just covered the speech, waited ask questions of the Director. The Director walked up to the small podium, and said, "The Director has arrived, and will now take your questions."
"As your Director speaks, so shall you listen," the Director said into the microphone. "The Lord smiles down us, as we smile up at him. The Director is pleased with the progress of the Site. Your hard work is appreciated, and as such, the Director has seen fit to grant all of you two extra rations of whiskey for the next week." The crowd again cheer.
