Night 1

There's something beautiful to the art of the spy, the art of the saboteur. After all, who would dare plot against his own country? Even the loudest malcontents are, at their heart, simply malcontents. They are not leaders, they are not impelled by a desire to destroy their mother country. No, the way a spy turns his mark is more subtle than the suggestion of gunpowder bombs or setting fires to homes. He does not shove a gun into a man's arms and tell him to kill.

The first step is always to get the mark to commit a little sin. Something small, something that wouldn't be the end of him if it were found out. It could even be as innocuous as a meal out together at a posh restaurant, or a business deal between firms. Slowly, the spy develops leverage. A meeting becomes a favor, a favor a crime, and a crime something more. Each sin itself small is used to blackmail, used to coerce a bigger sin out-- and eventually, the spy owns the man's soul, for he knows secrets that would ruin him.

And then, only then, the spy hands the man the gunpowder or dynamite, the tool by which the final act shall be committed. Eventually, it is only a small step to sabotage a water line, it is nothing at all to light a house fire, it is meaningless to copy official documents. And so the spy builds a network of marks, owning each of them and taking from them everything. They are not malcontents as you'd know them-- respectable people, jobs with the Government, that sort-- and they serve capably.

Well, until one of them finds out too much. Even a saboteur makes a misstep once in a while. The poison pill he has concealed on his person kills him before his nationality is revealed. His papers-- forgeries. Who was this man of mystery who plotted against the Crown? For what country did he work?

Day 2

Sadly, despite the best work of the British agents, they couldn't locate the spy's network of ungrateful rebels in time. Though the saboteur was dead, a House of Parliament was destroyed by fire and gunpowder, left a smouldering wreck and a testament to the impotence of the Police. Many died and a crucial blow was struck against England that day-- for though they might ever quarrel and quibble, the Parliament does undertake the actual work of governing, and they are crucial in their support of the Crown. They died in the line of duty, as any good Englishman might.

DoctorHelvetica the House of Parliament has died in a fire!

Night 2

Where the spy's art is subtle and glorious in its complexity, so too must that be of the anti-spy, the policeman, the counter-intelligence agency. For every compromised governor there is another whose loyalty is unwavering, who would never betray the crown even in a moment of greatest weakness. Somehow, these distinctions mean less and less to the secret police in this modern era. Mistakes are made, always mistakes, and always the innocent are found wanting.

Some say that the industrial revolution took something from the Englishman, something irreplaceable, and left in its place only darkness, that our cities stained with soot reflect our souls tarnished by those children who died in sweatshops. They say there is nothing left of English pride.

They have never seen a loyal man go to his state-ordered death willingly and praise king & country as he is died, knowing that this misstep is minor in the course of an Empire.

Day 3

After the accidental execution of a loyalist, there was little the government could do in time to stop the next strike. In a way, it should have seemed inevitable that the other House fall-- for the Commons and Lords rise and fall together. The loyalists gathered their remaining forces, marshaling what control they still had over the populace to try to root out the rebels once more.

...it was only the days following of the bombing that the rebels were found and executed. They didn't go down without a fight, but four of them were captured. At first, they wouldn't talk, but there are always ways to make men talk. They spilled everything in hope their lives might be spared. They died cursing the crown and all it stood for, traitors to king and country.

The King sighs and closes his report. In the aftermath, it seems like a moment of silence would be appropriate-- but the man has a country to run, and a people to lead.

Dandel Ion the Ungrateful Rebel Cell has been destroyed!
