Open burst transmission to the people of Kusari

[Rogerdodger]

Eight ninteen AS, Kusari, general election called to order by a joint rogue military group acting outside of their orders and minority political party that had suspended government and the constitution. It was time to vote on a new government.

The people were joyous that they would finally have a say in regards to the direction their nation would take in the future after the confusion and fear of the uncertainty of previous months. The lead up to the election was quite strange, advertisements were shown around the clock on behalf of the DPK, not so for their competitors. While one station did infact run an advertisement schedule on behalf of the conservative party, it was closed down for suspected breaching of national security. I am not sure what is breaking national security about broadcasting adds, but I guess you never know.

As the election drew closer, the DPK swelled with vibrant young people that stepped forward with pride to bring about a new direction for their people. I was quite touched to see the platforms they proposed, the dreams they had. It seemed like the unthinkable would happen, that this always minor party had the popularity to actually bring about a hung parliament or even win. Times were changing in Kusari and excitement was in the air. I wondered what this could mean, and I saw many paths laid out in front of me.

Alas I was decidedly upset with the results. Eight days before the election and there was a mass of arrests performed on various members of the conservative party, mostly in the name of corruption. The timing could not of been better.
Under previous laws regarding polling on government positions, one must give fourteen days notice of intent to run. Of course these laws were pointed out to the conservative party and although it mounted a legal challenge this was not to be heard until after the election and it proceeded ahead. The results, a landslide victory in many prefectures. A party won that may of deserved victory, may not of, we shall never know. The strangest part of the whole affair, it was military police that performed the arrests against the civilian targets.

A year later and the accused are finally being released. most without convictions. Now we hear of some of the cases that never made it to trial.
Kamura Hibiki charged with stealing government property, he claims he took a datapad to his residence after not submitting a report stating his intentions.
Hiroki Eguchi again charged with stealing government property this time it was a recording device, a bug he discovered planted in his office that he claims he was going to take to the Kusari State Police. Although he was arrested on a route that could actually take him to the local precinct, we shall not know the truth as he was arrested before reaching any destination. I wonder if these are the methods that is used by either a group or supporters of a group that have your best interests at heart.
