Speech Diary 1: Good morning, this is Dr. Holmes.
Despite this letter being addressed to another administrator, I thought i'd give myself something to do and reply to it myself.
It reads...
"Dear good looking administrator person," Hmm, perhaps it was addressed to me.
"The real Resistance is nice to regular citizens. The Resistance has not mugged me. The actual criminals are the ones who should not have guns. The ones that are actual gangs. The ones that are against both Resistance and CCA. Signed, an idiot."
Nice how you think they may be, they are resisting against something they do not fully understand.
Humanity was in a mess beforehand, governments were fighting invisible wars whilst other nations fought over land and superstitious beliefs.
The earth was overpopulating, and life would have been an unfixable mess by 2050, perhaps sooner.
Then the Union arrived, established global order and put a regime in place to fix humanity.
This regime is a harsh one, yet it is necessary. The weak and criminally minded will be weeded out of society, whilst at the same time our reproductive cycle will be suppressed.
With this combination, earth's population will be brought down to manageable levels, and we will be left with strong, civil people who want nothing but the best for their species.
Then the suppression field will be taken down, you will be able to start families again and we will be able to harness the power of transhumanism and start new societies among the stars.
Also, no one but enforcement officers and military should be having firearms.
As they are the ones properly trained, and in the correct mind-set to use them.
We don't want any psychopaths walking through the streets, gunning down innocent civilians.
As always, we will be taking in letters.
You have no excuse to be ignorant.
Speech Diary 2:Hello citizens, I am Dr. Holmes.
I am here to address a question that seems to be on the lips of most, if not all of you.
Why should I trust the Union?
I understand that on the surface that the current living conditions are unfair, perhaps even some of you may exacerbate and say they are barbaric.
Those of you who have heard my broadcasts before may or may not know the following, depending on if you were listening in the first place.
I would like you all to cast your minds back to a time before the war.
Most of you might be yearning for those times back.
You had nice clothes, you perhaps had a family, maybe a car and your own house, a job.
These all kept you happy, in the short term. However, there was a much grimmer picture for the future.
The human race was swiftly reaching a critical mass on this tiny planet.
Closing in on 7 billion human beings. This is far too many.
On top of this, governments were having invisible wars behind the eyes of the public sphere.
We were fighting over land, resources, religion, it would only take one lunatic to press the button and cause a nuclear holocaust.
And while you all sat comfortable in your designer jeans, Earth was on the brink of destruction.
That was... Until the Union arrived. They created a world government. Meaning no warring between nations.
They destroyed religion, meaning no more fighting over superstitious beliefs.
They are requisitioning our resources, and putting them into something better and more sustainable.
Next question may be, why so much death?
The Union are weeding out the weak and criminally minded to deal with the overpopulation issue I mentioned beforehand. Harsh? Yes.
Necessary? Most definitely. This coupled with the suppression field will guarantee that our planet may reach manageable population levels again. When this happens, we may be able to reproduce again.
And new technologies and opportunities will be opened to us beyond the stars.
This is a real chance to better ourselves, our species, to prosper in the long run.
If you still have concerns, send us in your letters, or request a meeting if you want to talk with us personally.
You shall not be arrested for concerns expressed.
Resisting against this cause would be resisting our very own survival.
You have no excuse to be ignorant.
