Embassy Wars — Episode IV: The Beginning of the End (posted July 4)
In the wake of the Death Star (Embassy Block) construction, the Emperor was busy contacting his allies, Queen Harper of the Intergalactic Debris Council and Counsel Fleming of the Barnett Sector.
Emperor: My dear friends, we almost are assured victory over the rebellion with our sinister scheme to economic wealth. But first we must have the wholehearted support of the Commission of Vance.
Queen H.: My lord, I believe I have convinced all but two that we have good intentions.
Emperor: Who are these two that defy me?
Queen H.: The two are Commissioner Wright of Waddel and the Chair himself. But, might I add, I believe with just a little convincing, Wright will fall.
Emperor: They think they can deny me my destiny (the Emperor starts into a rage). Do they know my power? I will soon demonstrate the power of a fully functional Death Star (E.B.). Every rebellious taxpayer will see the large Death Star every time they enter this sector and realize who has the power here. Set up a meeting with these that defy me.
A meeting soon took place between the Emperor and the two that would question his power.
Emperor: I am told that you are questioning my abilities and power.
Commissioner Wright: My lord, I only have the interest of the people I serve at heart.
Emperor: SILENCE, you think I do not know about your personal economic despair. You cannot control what you already have given to you, and now you think you can control my wishes.
Commissioner Wright: Master, please, I did not mean to offend thee. I just wanted more of my people involved in this conquest.
Emperor: This is MY CONQUEST, and I do not need your people’s advise. I surely do not want your advice when you have destroyed the economy of your own planet.
Commissioner Wright: Master, please forgive me, I will obey. Your biddings are my command.
Emperor: I thought you would see things my way with a little persuasion.
Chair: Master, I will not submit to the dark side, and I see through this Alliance for what it really is. It is a dynamic scheme to swindle planets from the rebellion and expand your Empire.
Emperor: Yes! Obi-wan taught you well, but even he could not understand the power of the dark side. Resistance is futile. I will succeed, and you will not stop me. The Alliance is a done deal. (evil laugh)
Queen H.: Master, many are questioning the secrecy of the Alliance.
Emperor: My dear Queen, perhaps you need to be more convincing in telling them that we mean no harm and will be upfront with our plans. Tell them that they will benefit from the Alliance with wealth untold.
The Chair called for a meeting with his commissioners.
Chair: My fellow commissioners, we are embarking on a fate that will surely delete our powers of all decisions made here on our planet of Vance. The Emperor will soon head an Alliance that will, with the help of the dark side of the force, control the economic wealth of this entire sector. We will no longer have any say so on anything that really matters. Why have you all fallen for this scheme?
Commissioner #1: Chair, we figured that what we were doing wasn’t working, and the Emperor seems to have all the answers. Just look at the wealth he has accumulated over the years with his fuel outposts.
Chair: Yes, this is true, but this wealth was done at the expense of the rebellion. They have been for years charged fees above all other surrounding planets, and this has created a strain on the local economy.
The meeting was adjourned, and the commissioners left supporting the Emperor and the newly formed Alliance.
Rebellious taxpayers got wind of this news, and they were saddened to the fact that the ones that represent them were so quick and willing to give up power to the Emperor and his evil Alliance.
Here’s a series you will like OILF. To view these, just use the ‘Search” function above the Log In, use “Embassy Wars”, or “padawan”, or better yet, “Darth Manager” lol !! Funny stuff. These were entertaining, but quite concerning to many, as you will see.
