English political institutions were on the verge of disappearing from
the stage. The Grip of the secret service, an ever visible reality, was
a dog lash tightening over each and every neck across the Great London
Expansion. The new western council management services or simply put
NWCMS had the mandate to monitor the eleven hundred million Europeans
citizens.
To get the parliament out of the game, The New Western Council had just declared the European parliament as the greatest terrorist threat to the free world. English parliament, at first, tried to interfere but once half of her members disappeared and most of the rest were found in one jail or another.
There was nothing much that they could do anymore. It was somewhere a decade back that it’s powers to determine taxes had been taken away from it. Within a year, the parliament was nothing more then a group of former Elites who couldn’t even shout out their estate windows.
President Foxtrot of the Great Western Union had called their meetings as an attempt to rejuvenate the Great English Circus. Very soon the city councils were abolished. It was soon followed by the abolition of the judiciary services and other royal services. The qualifications for the Peace and Policing Services were made lenient, probably to include more muscle.
Within a year, the civil service exams were cancelled and recruitment was made directly from various universities. The reason given was to encourage the better of men towards joining Defense Companies. With the losses suffered at the Great Eastern War Line, the defense companies were always complaining of the shortage of man power.
It was during this time that the attack from the Anonymous international shook the Great London Expansion. Within a night The London council of governors had lost its control over the extended territories.
It was an unexpected attack- The Anonymous Internationals had struck and disabled five central servers. The extended territories took advantage of the outage. And by the early morning the Cities of Paris, Madrid, Brussels, Berlin & Warsaw had declared separation from the Union.
To the knowledgeable men it all seemed too much to not be called a well planned conspiracy. The five cities where the servers had gone down were the same which had declared separation. The Governing council soon declared it as a rebellion. President Foxtrot declared it a per-meditated conspiracy against the people of free world. He ordered correction measures of the highest level.
When watched from the National Space center, the concentration of armed satellites over the European skies felt like a beehive. And armed paratroopers were dropped all across the rebel strong holds. It was declared that within a day the servers will return to function.
The battle ships covered the shores and emergency was declared. Any Plane without a flight plan with western union was ordered to be shot without a prior notice. Emergency was declared all across the boundaries of the rebel territory.
The rebellion regions were under the complete siege of the Council Fleet. Their commander demanded immediate access to the servers otherwise threatened them with a nuclear response. They were given a time limit of 15 hours. The world kept watching but the rebel cities did not bulge.
At the fourteenth hour the commander of the fleet ordered to prepare for a nuclear strike. It was then while all the preparations were complete and the commander was waiting for the final call from the council office, the unthinkable happened.
The fleet lost all its communications. Its equipments stopped responding. Not only there but all the electronic equipment in the whole London expansion went blank. Machines stopped running.
The robots stopped working. The vehicles halted at their place. The planes lost their auto pilots, factories stopped. The cities painted with electronic bill boards became a shed of black. It could be seen from the National Space Center, complete Europe suddenly converted from a light house to the dark Korean patch.
The confusion lasted for about fifteen hour. Not a single response reached the space station. The havoc turned into a silent horror movie scene. If felt as if Europe had been removed from the map.
Suddenly a voice came from no where…
“Parliament commences in 10 minutes. If you want to attend- Step out. Parliament commences in 10 minutes. If you want to attend- step out. Step out”.
Soon the screens all across the Europe went ablaze with scenes of speeches from the days of freedom. Every few moments, the screen would pop out a new scene from one of the parliaments- people talking, standing up, and cheering the speaker.
For a moment it showed the old parliament building, empty like it was these days. It stayed there for a moment then suddenly it showed the last prime minister giving his famous freedom speech and the parliament giving him a standing ovation and the fetal shooting afterwards.
President Foxtrot was watching the whole broadcast on a screen right on him and was looking down at the blue globe placed on his table. “Sir, we have lost control of the Great London Server, the city is no longer under our control” said the men behind standing behind him.
“Order the Commander to launch the nuclear strike”.
“Sir, unfortunately the fleet too has joined the rebellion; the Joint Marshal of the fleet has declared his allegiance to the new London Parliament”.
“This is a disaster. Call the war council; tell them to prepare for emergency…”He was cut in between.
Parliament is in session, Parliament is in session.
What? Foxtrot looked at the giant screen in front of him. It was playing the same message again n again. “Parliament is in session, Parliament is in session”, showing the direct view of the London parliament with its entire brimming expanse.
How?? A horror flickered over Foxtrot’s face. But it was soon replaced with that of terror. The voice over the screen soon was dwarfed by the evacuation siren screeching above.
A robotic voice was narrating evacuation procedures ‘evacuate, evacuate, the gravity generators have failed, evacuate. Plethora will enter mars atmosphere in fifteen minutes”.
