INCOMING TRANSMISSION
COMM ID: Premier Alvin Katz of the Coalition
LOCATION: Office of the Premier – Omega-52
TARGET ID: Commissariat
Comrades of the Revolution, loyal members of the Fighter Corps, Citizens and Workers!
This year has put our party to a certain test in regard to clearness of thought and firmness of will. The test was difficult because it was determined by a fact that weighs heavily upon the consciousness of all party members and the broadest circles of the working population – to be more accurate, upon the entire working population of our country and to a considerable degree of the whole of Sirius. I speak of Grand Admiral McIntosh’s grave illness.
We stand at the edge of internal crisis in a critical epoch, and at a moment when our mood must stand as one with enthusiasm and militancy, we find ourselves adrift. Without any doubt we are passing through a period of internal confusion, of great difficulty, and, what is most important, self-criticism, which, let us hope, will lead to a new cleansing and a new upsurge in the revolutionary movement.
We, who inherit our authority from the Great Leader’s uprising against Chancellor Aeon, which some of those who marched in ranks close to us, or marched parallel with us, are now talking of mutiny and uprising… those that want to see an end to the corrupt puppet People’s Government enslaved to the will of the few.
We Communists cannot look upon the question of the Revolution from a subjective vantage, no sir. We have stood strong, and proud, hand in hand, on the front, and have successfully driven back our enemies. We have fought, bled and some of us have died for the glory of the Revolution.
I will not see that sundered by the bile of those that seek to move in this, our hour of somber mourning.
As of Eight PM Vologograd Standard time, the Commissariat of Truth moved under my direct order, to arrest key figures who had enjoyed positions of prominence and privilege under Grand Admiral McIntosh’s tenure as Great Leader.
Even seeking to exploit his collapsing state of health to their own advantage, dividing power like noble aristocrats of yester-year.
They dwell now aboard the Gulag-ship TOR-ONE, where they will soon be met with a firing squad for their heinous crimes.
This is not the end of the Revolution, my Comrades, no, it is but the beginning of a renewed vigor. Your Government is in control once more, a civilian government elected by the dutiful party membership to guide the great SCRA once more to victory.
Effective immediately, Comrade-Captain Benjamin Warner, Hero of the Revolution has been appointed Commandante of the Fighter Corps. Commander Angie Broch is appointed Commissar-Commander and Minister of Truth. And Commissar Medvedov is appointed Provost-Marshal of the Coalition.
No, comrades, no! We are not degenerating. We change our methods, ways of working – but the revolutionary instinct of self-preservation of the party is the highest thing for us. We study book-keeping and at the same time we keep a sharp eye towards Sirius and events will not surprise us. By self-cleaning and enlarging of the proletarian basis our strength grows ... We are revolutionaries from head to foot, we were so, we remain so, we shall remain so to the end.
The Coalition has a new leader, and I will lead us into a new era!
For the Revolution!
