Borealis -- (FJRK) -- The people of Borealis were torn by death and distruction when a small child, seemingly brainwashed, assassinated Brendan "Killchain" Nygaard, Director of Archetype.
How far does morality displace those from the clear and obvious smog, a haze covering the corpses of those fallen for a war that no one asked for. A war brought to neutrality for personal gain.
“It is better to spill the blood of few to save many. We made this declaration of war as an attempt to show everyone on Rubi-Ka that they can sleep at night, and they can make a difference.” Stated Killchain.
This declaration brought the death of six; one a small child, a mindless drone sent to assassinate Killchain, a reporter for the Independent Reporters of Rubi-Ka, as well as four uninvolved and unsuspecting innocents. The silent assassin approached Killchain and his bodyguard Zundae, acting as though she had been cursed. She pleaded with him to escape, motioning with her hands wildly.
Shortly after the murder, the assassin took her own life, as if overcome by the shame of what she had done to her brethren. There was a moment of utter confusion as the crowd began to realize what had just occurred. Moments after the deceased dissipated into the ground, mass hysteria spread like a virus.
Killchain’s newly reincarnated body returned to the scene of the assassination to present an ultimatum, “Safety will be granted when the likes of her are removed from this planet and placed in a labor camp.”
Within an instant, a loud shot was heard from the distance and Killchain fell once more.
With acts like these, there is no resolve. There is no way out but through slaughter. How will this anger driven war resolve? Has the worth of life devolved to nothing more than a simple trip to the reclaim? We must look back beyond the futile differences, to a time where death was permanent, only then can we truly realise that conflict is pointless. Surely there are other methods of resolution.
