Time to rise!

[Lord Balian]

Kusari State Police
Location: New Tokyo meeting hall.
Time: 4:36 PM.

As Kusari State Police chief officer Kenzo steps out onto the balcony of the meeting hall once again, his heart still pounding, he lights his third sigarette. ''I have to stop smoking some day..'' he tries to tell himself, distracting his thoughts from the coming task.''Everyone says it, i'd better start listening to it'', as he inhales a lot of smoke and starts to cough. ''Back to the matter at hand'' he thinks, looking down towards the beatifull collection of flowers and rare plants located in the private gardens.''This is finally the day'', he thinks. ''Finally the time to rewind the process''. ''We must grow, we must prosper'', he looks troubled. ''But how to tell them?''.

15 Minutes later....

''Ah, there you are, sensei'' the young officer looks excited, ''this is the big day, guddorakku!''. ''Domo arigato'', is all the chief gets out. "Clear and convincing'', he whispers to himself, as he steps onto the stage in the meeting hall. He looks at the crowd gathered beneath him, takes a deep breath, and starts from the beginning...

''Konnichiwa, great people, gathered from all across Kusari territory. I am honoured to be in such presence, and I thank you all, for a great number of people has shown up this clear midday. But please listen carefully, as we have matters to discuss....''

Kenzo takes a gulp from his water and continues his story

''Kusari territory, that's why we are here... Our homes, Our families, friends and loved ones... There was a time, that the Blossom of this very Kusari was almost perfect. We were rich, we were strong, we were safe... The inside of Kusari was perfectly guarded by the Police. The two wise Machi-bugyoh and the brave and fierce Doshin pilots, backed up by the unmatched wisdom and intelligence of the Yoriki, were easily protecting the systems, planets and stations that we call home..
But now, we are threatened. The systems called Kyushu, New Tokyo, Shikoku, Honshu, and Hokkaido, have never been this unsafe. Yes, there is the great protection by the Kusari naval forces, wich manage to take down most enemy threats, but for other matters, they cannot be everywhere. That's why we need You, great people of Kusari. We cannot task every Naval forces pilot to stand and watch for smugglers, can we? No, they have their own matters. This, my friends, is our task. It is our task to protect the area we call home from the inside. We must make sure our children will be able to live in safety. We must secure the future of Kusari. We must act now!''

A small silence falls, as the sounds of the last words echo through the corners of the great hall....

Then suddenly the Chief stands up, and bangs his fist on the desk in front of him

''I ask you hereby, Great people of Kusari. Wait no longer, take action now! This is Our time, we must not weaken any further. If you agree, then stand up, walk away, and sign in with the closest police station. Move out!''


His heart pounds heavily, as he sees people starting to move away from the wood-crafted benches, and heading for the exits. His heart then starts to fill with warmth, as he notices what he has just done. ''I did it...'', he thinks, and a wide smile appears on his face. Suddenly he feels a warm hand on his shoulder, and his eyes meet those of the young officer he saw earlier. ''Nice job, Sensei'', he says with a comforting smile on his face. ''Can I get you something to drink?''.''Tea please'', the Chief says, falling down in the chair, feeling his thoughts returning back to normal.

2 minutes later

''Thank you sir'', Kenzo says, accepting the tea. ''What do we do now Sensei?'', The young man says, taking a gulp from his water. ''We wait''
