The Cosmodemonic Telegraph Company

SCENE 1:
THE INAUGURAL GALA. THE PRESIDENT MINGLES WITH INVITED GUESTS, CELEBRATING HIS ASCENDANCE TO POWER. HE IS ALL TOO AWARE OF THE SUSPICION CONCERNING HIS ACTIONS WHILE WORKING PREVIOUS LOWER PROFILE JOBS IN THE CAPITAL, BUT THE WHEELS ARE GREASED, AND NO QUESTIONS ARE PRESSED TOO DEEPLY.

SCENE 2:
THE CONSPIREIST AT HOME, PREPARING HER RADIO SHOW. SHE DILIGENTLY FARMS THROUGH A HUGE VOLUME OF DISPARATE NEWS SOURCES TO FORM HER THEORIES, BROADCASTING THEM MIDDAY TO A FERVENT AUDIENCE.

SCENE 3:
A CARGO SHIP CARRYING AN UNDISCLOSED PAYLOAD LEAVES FOR ITS RETURN VOYAGE HOME. THE CAPTAIN OF THE SHIP STANDS IN QUIET CONTEMPLATION ON THE BRIDGE, DETERMINED TO SEE HIS CARGO REACH ITS DESTINATION. HE'S BEEN PAID TOO WELL TO BLOW IT.

SCENE 4:
THE CONSPIREIST'S AUDIENCE TUNES IN DAILY, GRADUALLY OVERWHELMED BY THE SIZE AND THE DEPTHS OF HER REVELATIONS. THE REALIZATIONS ARE TEMPERED BY TIME AND DISINFORMATION, RENDERING THE AUDIENCE HELPLESS. THEY ARE ADDICTED TO INFORMATION.

SCENE 5:
THE CONSPIREIST SUDDENLY DIES AFTER WHAT IS REVEALED TO BE A LONG FIGHT WITH CANCER. SHE BECOMES A MARTYR TO HER FAITHFUL, CONFIRMING THEIR ABSTRACT FEARS OF REPRESSION, AND THEY EXPECT THE WORST. THE WAITING CONTINUES.
