“Save the nation! Save the nation!”

Cries for legitimate democracy and freedom ring out around the city of New Britain, congregating around The Residence.

Earlier today, President Henry Baker was to be questioned at a hearing regarding his involvement in the murder of Clifton Butler, his former Vice President. He did not appear at the hearing.

Aditi Sundar, a newly-elected lawmaker, chose to lead a small group of protestors down Constitution Way toward the Residence. In the past few hours, the crowd has swelled to over 5,000.

Inside The Residence, Henry Baker frowns as he looks out the window. Turning around, he greets his Director of Intelligence, Joseph Rubin.

“Well? What will placate the crowd?” asks Baker.

“Nothing. They’re quite determined to see your resignation.”

Baker sighs, his mind already whirring with ideas as to how to guarantee the most favorable outcome for himself.

“Start trying to repel them. Give them a warning, send in the riot guards. If that doesn’t work, send in the armed forces on reserve,” he commands, turning back toward the window.
