The Capital. The city that holds the Government. The Government which holds absolute power. The power to let humanity survive. To let those that oppose the Government disappear. The highest power that a human could hold was the position of a Minister. The collective of twelve Ministers is what makes up the powerful Government. All human of course. Rin Kimura was one of those Ministers. Followed by his lackeys he strode towards the great hall where the meeting of the Government would take place. To some he seemed like a man full of pride and arrogance. Those usually did not hang around long as they tended to be incompetent. Incompetent ones were not allowed to be around him. Everyone in his Ministry was highly efficient, thoroughly trained and exceptionally capable. Nobody dared to complain about the incredible workload on their shoulders as they all knew that their boss was managing an even larger amount. His way of taking everything in a stride must be a lingering effect of his military training. Always keeping his gaze directed at the goal, never hesitating. To make sure that what has to be done will be done. His followers were not allowed to pass through the doors before him. They had to go back to their work without him. Having discussed work all the way until those doors, they had to make do with a few short instructions from Kimura to get the rest of their work done.<br/>Rin Kimura entered the hall of the meeting without greeting anyone. He quietly took his seat and waited for the meeting to begin. Most of the Ministers were already there. Some were softly chatting, the others also waited quietly. All these people are highly competent, intelligent and loyal to the Government. Otherwise they would not be here in these grand positions. The ones that were missing all entered the meeting hall in time and the meeting started without any delay. As they did not have a fixed leader, the position of leading the meeting was rotated among the Ministers. The subject of today’s meeting was the recent failure of securing important resources from being stolen by rebels. Some of the Ministers were focused on finding who had failed their duty and to prosecute them. Others found that the planning was at fault. While a minority was defending the military unit responsible for the guarding with the argument that the rebels had deviated from their usual behavioural pattern.<br/>“If that is the case then we need to completely reanalyse everything we know.”<br/>“Now is not the time to waste resources on analysis, we need to take action now.”<br/>“Statistically seen, the success rate of the rebels is only 6,791 percent.”<br/>“Unacceptable,” Kimura interrupted harshly. This caused some of his colleagues to consent with him instantly.<br/>“That is right.”<br/>“That percentage is way too high.”<br/>“It should be zero.”<br/>The leader of this meeting raised her hand to urge everyone to quieten down a little. “Kimura, it seems like you were not down talking yet. Please continue.”<br/>Before, Kimura had rested his chin on his hands. Now he rested his hands on the table while meeting everyone’s gaze.<br/>“The fact which I find unacceptable is not the height of the percentage, but the fact that such a percentage exists in itself,” Kimura continued as if he had not been interrupted at all. “The pure existence of humans and non-humans that believe that the Government is not doing their fullest to try and save the few remaining living creatures of this planet and thus believe that they are in their right when they steal from all the hard working normal citizens is plainly unacceptable. Of course there is the need to start an analysis on why our usually perfect security failed this time. Of course those that let their duty slip need to be held responsible. However, let’s not lose sight of the actual problem that we are facing. These rebels are trying to disturb the fragile balance that we have strenuously established in order to ensure the survival of our species. Such an act can not and will not be tolerated or forgiven. I have already constructed a plan to deal with this situation. In order to destroy these terrorists, we need more information. For that reason there will be an intern cooperating with us.“<br/>The rest of the meeting was to discuss various plans of actions and strategies. It did not take long for them to consent on a plan of action. While they were waiting for more information from the spy on the inside of the rebel faction, they would already take several actions to undermine the image of the rebels. The citizens would be informed that there were humans and non-humans out there that were not working for the Government and stealing resources from the Government. Although the Government was trying their hardest to protect those resources so that all the hard working citizens could profit from them, with every successful attempt of those thieves there would be less left for the hard working citizens. Getting this message out to the normal citizens would damage the heroic appeal of the rebels to the citizens by reducing them to simple thieves. Nobody liked to work hard to only have their deserved reward stolen from them. This negative image would greatly undermine the support that the rebels got from the ordinary citizen and impair their movements inside the city. Of course they would continue to actively hunt them down as well. Those damn rebels needed to be removed from existence as soon as possible to ensure save living conditions.
