(Takeover Of Asmeru & Dorvalla)
After the shift of power upon Cyphar things had been calm, but such calm was not a good sign for it meant that the people were in constant fear of more bloodshed and hid in their homes. Yet now that power had been seized and the planet stabilized Leonid prepared for a planet wide transmission to address the people of the planet. Slowly people began returning to the streets yet all production on the planet had been stopped for now as there was much left to organize. Leonid quietly examined the main street before the senate building as a familiar car pulled in.
Janos
He thought to himself and sighed, Janos had not even greatly taken part in the revolution and now because he was the party leader he can in for the spoils that he did not earn. Undoubtedly he would wish to push the brakes to every suggestion that Leonid would make yet Leonid could only hope that Karmon would back him up. It was indeed worse than he thought it would be, the party was in pieces and there was inside fighting almost notable, the country needed reorganizing and stabilization. Then there was the threat of the union on the back as well, if CFPP could not deliver more to the union with time or their own promises to the people of Cyphar then it all would blow up. Janos was the true trouble, always pushing the brakes on advance and new projects. He was too conservative yet Leonid had to manage for the good of the people and the party as there was no space for him go killing the party chairman. Quick steps interrupted his thoughts and he turned his head, seeing Karmon coming towards him and it was obvious why.
"Janos just arrived, we was guided to the senate room as you ordered.... he did not seem all too happy with what he had seen on the car ride here. I think we should go meet him now as we need to put this planet into proper order" Karmon said as Leonid turned towards him.
"Indeed, there is too much to do and so little time before everything starts to move again. The factories are currently at a stop yet with time the people will only grow more agitated that the whole society is at a stop thus leaving us no room to breathe"
Leonid agreed and followed Karmon, they passed trough the battle ripped hallways that had been severed as the revolutionists had infiltrate the senate building. The former government had been in space where no sound would get out or in luckily not to mention no guard was able to get to them to warn them of the incoming threat. The former rulers of the planet were now imprisoned and awaiting trial, not that the trial would be fair yet neither had the government been towards the CFPP in the elections. Leonid was preparing to throw all the evidence he could muster against them to prove the people that they had done them a favour. Thus the senate archives were being search trough by his soldiers to find proof of corruption, darker deals within the government and all the dirt they could find. The two arrived to the main senate chamber twin doors and greeted the guards, Karmon entered first as Leonid stopped to instruct the soldiers at the door.
“No one will be allowed to enter the room until we come out or I give the command by com link, understood… unless it is a matter of great importance…”
“Understood sir”
Leonid entered the round chamber room that had 4 doorways opening into it and stairs descending from each exit to the middle of the room, in the middle Janos was waiting for them as he gazed around the hall quietly. Leonid calmly walked down to Janos after Karmon and sat on a table after greeting Janos. There was a silence upon the room, Janos seemed to be gazing around the room as Leonid had nailed his eyes on Janos and Karmon seemed to gaze at them both.
“Do you have any idea how many died during your revolution? Do you know how many lives could have been saved, if we had taken the legal path?” Janos asked as he eyes stopped at Leonid.
“I told you that revolution needed a catalyst, the blood of revolutionaries and those who oppose it. Deaths were inevitable and you knew that, but if we had taken the legal path then we might not have still won and do you think the union would have let us stall like that? No, they would have been breathing in our necks to do the job or even kill us for being adepts. This party lacked power and course, now we have taken one! Revolution, we will be required to do more in the future and is it not power, if you can turn citizen against their governments? We accepted the unions deal and now we are bound to it, we cannot cut ourselves loose!"
Leonid almost shouted in his defence as he knew that Janos would not have ever understood what revolutions were about or that sometimes sacrifices had to be made in order to achieve progress. They all knew that their union membership was permanent and that the union would always require them to spread out. They would have to spread out of Cyphar as soon as they would have completed organizing their planet in their vision.
"And more blood will be spilled on your account, I will have nothing to do with your revolutions, but I am not stepping down from the party chairmanship because I am going to do my job that I have been doing for half of my life"
"Oh indeed, your job of doing nothing as others sacrifice their lives for our cause, is that it Janos?" Leonid asked with a venomous voice.
"I was gathering supporters not drinking, if you think that I did so" Janos said as he had to defend himself in turn against the words of Leonid.
"It doesn’t matter what you did, you always put the brakes on whenever we make progress. You just don’t understand where we stand, we must create a state where united one people live and where rules one ideal. Ours! Democracy will not work, if you thought that we would have that miserable government form again. When we rely on democracy corruption can run rife, we need one party in lead showing the direction into a new future for the people" Leonid announced in a rather fanatically and determined manner.
"Your ma..."
Janos began, but Karmon stepped in before they would change their sharp words into something physical especially Leonid who was clearly the more aggressive one. Karmon gazed at them both.
"What kind of future are we talking about here Brother Leonid?"
He suddenly asked throwing both of his comrades into confusion by the sudden question as that had not even been the most pressing matter in the conversation. Leonid knew that Karmon was right, this was stupid to be fighting like dogs and besides with time Leonid would be free of Janos as he would not last for too many decades in the end. Janos was too naïve and conservative, he was almost a pacifist and that did not fit well with Leonid`s plans. Leonid gazed quietly at Janos before answering.
“A future clean of tyrants and oppressors such as the former government, speaking of which they are imprisoned and awaiting trial currently. A public trial to be exact…” Leonid said with a cold smile.
“Why are you holding a public trial? And what else have you been up to without my knowledge?” Janos demanded to know.
“Many things as you were not there to act, I have assumed full control of the military, for now denied all free press rights and ceased all production. The system is shut down until we can put it to the way prefer it. Yet going back to the trial, why? We need the people’s support and all of them do not trust us, my soldiers are currently in the archives searching for all the dirt they can get on the government. Dark deals, bribery and scandals that have been kept hidden anything that can destroy their names and make them look disgusting in the eyes of the people. The people must abandon democracy and take up the next government offered to them so it seems that we will be the only option left. But if we do not find anything….”
“Then we must make something and that can be arranged” Karmon added and now received a confused gaze from Janos.
“So you would never give them full rights?” Janos asked suspiciously.
“Oh don’t be so naïve Janos, even you know what they did to the party, to our friends and us! We cannot the tyrants get away unpunished and actually I would prefer that they would not get away at all.”
Leonid said with a vengeful tone yet before Janos could reply a soldier entered the room. He ran to them and greeted, Leonid threw an annoyed gaze at the soldier.
“What have you found? Something of great importance I hope?”
“You should come and see for yourselves, we found exactly what you wanted and… more…”
The soldier explained, Leonid looked at the two other council members who nodded slightly and they left the room towards the archives. They passed trough a hallway, which had a wall blown open as the revolutionaries had made their own entrance into the building to flank a guard force within the building. They arrived to a narrow hallway that lead to wide hall, at the entrance two guards greeted them and stepped aside. They arrived to the main console where a captain was waiting for them.
“Sir we found what you ordered us to find, this list was behind a lot of codes and work yet apparently it proves many connections… within the government and outside it…”
“Display it” Leonid commanded and crossed his arms on his chest.
A list was displayed with many government official names, their dealings and information yet there were various connections leading out of the government. This was obviously a way the government kept an eye of each deal that was made and it was kept hid for good reason. As they went on with the list many noble and rich names began to appear, many having donated money to the government and not to mention companies had bribed the company. Also ironically there they were, the names of CFPP`s own sponsors.
“What in the abyss?” Karmon whispered as he stared at the names.
Leonid was quiet as well, but he figured out what this was all about. Their sponsor had always been working with the CFPP, gaining information from and sabotaging the CFPP, finally running them to the ground by drawing their money away. It seemed that without the Union the CFPP would have never even realised that they had been a target of mockery all along, they had just been along and allowed to grow because they made the elections look more believable. Leonid slightly grinned and took out his com link; he opened a channel to all of his captains. There was clear anger in his voice and his grip around the com link was tight as, if he would have wanted to get his hands around the neck their sponsors that had made them look like fools.
“All captains respond, this is council member Kahn. The next orders must be completed in uttermost secrecy and you must obey without question, should you have answers they shall be revealed to you later on by me. Send teams and all on the list I will send to you, also all of their properties are to be confiscated. Their buildings are to be placed under guard”
Leonid announced, the captain all understood the orders and then Leonid send the name lists to the captain who were obviously slightly shocked yet obeyed. In a matter of minutes almost every single rich family and company owner upon Cyphar was arrest, their possessions confiscated by the revolutionists. It caught attention on the streets yet no one dared to rise into opposition and could only wonder before they would be explained what this all was about. Meanwhile Leonid prepared for his first planet wide appearance; the entire planet had been informed. The CFPP followers were excited as where those that did not support them were frightened of what the new rulers had in mind. A view opened to every home screen and the city square monitors were filled with the same picture.
"Citizen`s of Cyphar" Leonid began "Cyphar is free at last from the grip of the tyrant government, The CFPP has pulled itself and Cyphar out of the night of oppression. Trough our revolution we have brought true peace upon the planet and soon we shall give you true justice when we place the former tyrants on trial along with their numerous conspirators. No longer shall the lower classes or other races be oppressed, our gifts to Cyphar will be brotherhood, freedom and unity.
If our work has not been proof enough then watch the public trial of the enemies of the state, your former oppressors and we shall present you with the truth of them. No longer do you have to be blind folded, all you must do is to hear our evidence and you shall see the truth. The truth has stayed hidden from the public eye, but no more for we shall cast away the lies of our predecessors. A new dawn rises upon Cyphar, a new people shall arise together as brothers and sisters, all equal and all supporting the righteous cause!"
The view began to slowly fade away into black.
