Bonalago, Cumany 2217 Local Time "Alright, let's call this meeting to order. I'm done waiting, people can catch up if they show up." The eyes of those present shot around the room, the unusual number of empty seats apparent. Heads nodded and the large man seated at the head of the table dove into presenting the agenda. "So, we've got to talk about the newsletter and the upcoming action for the fifteenth." The air in the room seemed to still as he spoke, his authority eminently obvious to even the most naive of observers. The others seemed to hold their breath as he moved into discussing the contents of the newsletter. They all knew that even this could easily land them in prison, but their work was worth it. Cumany had never seen democracy and they hope to light the path forward into the modern age. They discussed the placement of an article agitating for the release of political prisoners and the tone of an article discussing the corruption of the Etxea family and the government. The apparent banality of their task hiding the diligence with which they weighed in. To this small group, there was no task more important than the dissemination of ideas, no task more important than the effort to mobilize the people in the struggle for democracy. As they completed the discussion of the newsletter, they moved on to the next point on the agenda; planning for a rare public action to demonstrate against the government. Signage, slogans and chants were discussed in earnest but not once was a location or time mentioned. Meeting had been infiltrated by informants before and security was of the utmost importance. As the meeting began to wind down and those present began to say their goodbyes, there was a knock at the door. Concerned glances shot around the room. They moved towards the back door not knowing whose fist was behind that knock. They quickly threw open the door and began running from the house. Outside, floodlights suddenly shone bright, blinding the dissidents. The air filled with shouting voices instructing them to lay down on the ground. A few complied, those who didn't precipitated a barrage of plastic bullets, hitting the floor breathless and broken. Their hands were quickly zip-tied behind their backs and they were led to massive vans to be transported to a prison and prepared for trial. Breaking News! Counter-Terrorism officials announced the arrest of a terrorist cell planning for an attack on Bonalago. Officials have not yet released the names of those arrested, however, our sources tell us that the notorious terrorist, the Jackal, has been captured in the raid. Evidence of bomb-making was found at the seen and the Despota has publicly thanked the officers involved for their vigilance and professionalism in protecting the people of Bonalago. More to come as we prepare for what is sure to be the trial of the year. Edited by Cumany, 14th January 2014 - 04:14 PM.
