Princess of the insurgents 4 A fascist society

After shooting all day in this city where the inhabitants seem to be devoid of joy and don't know how to smile, Jane is back in the Georgetown neighbourhood.

Inside a huge shopping mall built in 2025, she now visits this huge building made only of glass and an alloy of various indeterminate ultrlight metals.

In this world, neighborhoods like this are watched over and become prohibited zones for those who are least fortunate.

This very modern store is not different. To gain access, Jane had to show her personal assistant to the security guards and only then was she allowed in.

Here, only citizens of ranks S to B are accepted and if contraveners are discovered, the security of the store is authorized to eliminate these potential dangers.

Under this regime, which Jane considers totalitarian, the human lives of the less fortunate are of no value. Their rights were abrogated 5 years ago and their revolts are usually repressed by bloodshed.

Although their neighbourhoods no longer have a representative of the administration, their skies are covered by drones, which open fire at the slightest suspicious movement.

It is in these less than humane living conditions that a new drug with devastating effects has appeared. Consumers of this prohibited product called Phlet are becoming extremely aggressive. Almost immediately, after having injected it into their bloodstream, they see their perception and strength increase tenfold for a limited period of time, and these people with no money or possessions engage in the worst crimes.

The descent of this drug is like its ascent, violent and extremely rapid. To the point where the hearts of many users cannot bear this sudden change in their blood system.

Apart from the strongest or luckiest, those who do not die of heart attacks are likely to lose their minds. Since the arrival of this drug, we've been witnessing the appearance of more and more human who vegetate during a few days on the pavement without thinking about their most basic needs, and then end up dying of hunger and thirst.

Yet, despite all the dangers associated with this drug, humans of low social status, who are not considered citizens by the governments of this world, do not hesitate to inject themselves with it in their veins, hoping to have money in hand when their conscience break free the substance prohibited by the states.

These states in question are shouting their indignation at this product, which is no different from a mass murderer, and yet they do nothing to stop its production.

This general immobility is explained by the fact that these poor and unemployed people are more of a hindrance to the countries than an asset for their development.

Now, the companies are 80% automated. Besides the robots, AI has replaced many foremen, lower management and a third of the skilled workers.

Agriculture is in decline since half of the planet's soils are too polluted to be cultivated. So there are too many mouths to feed, so if a few useless people kill themselves and kill other waste at the same time, who will complain?

Although she is outraged by the current policy, Jane, who increasingly understands this state of affairs, is happy to occupy a body that belongs to the elite.

During this sterile day, which was probably just to avoid school, Jane has more or less mastered this rebellious body. Although her little mouth full of poison still doesn't respond to her demands, Jane feels it is still a big step forward.

Now that she can fight the little girl's authority, Jane stops to join the crowd that has gathered in front of a huge screen in the second floor lobby of the mall, where a police intervention is being broadcast at a company that refuses to pay its workers.

In front of about thirty workers who are not very threatening but whose demand is clear, a hundred policemen dressed in white are on one knee protected by a large shield. Behind them stands a second line of policemen wearing identical clothes but with smaller shields and a small gun.

When arrives a man in a long white coat and sunglasses, all the policemen move aside.

The man in the long coat, now ahead of the police squadron, stands alone, facing the workers who are only asking for payment for their hours of work. The man, whose posture shows great self-confidence, does not seem intimidated by this group considered as rebels.

"If you disperse now, I will consider that this incident never happened. If you refuse... Well, I think you know the consequences of rebellion in a place of production destined for the state. You have 30 seconds to calmly disperse."

The workers seem to fear this man in the long coat. On the majority's forehead, through the screen that broadcasts the incident live, Jane can see beads of sweat forming. The men claiming the fruits of their labour look at each other for a few moments, before one of them, more determined than the others, steps forward.

"Mr. Peacekeeper, we are sorry but our request is legitimate. We have families to feed. Apartments to pay and our children's school fees to honour. As a representative of the state, we therefore ask you to speak to the plant manager on our behalf."

Jane's heart is beating a hundred a second. Her eyes are riveted on the man in the long coat, who himself has his eyes on the aerial image of the countdown coming out of his personal assistant.

"0, I gave you a chance to return to your workstation in peace and you didn't take it then you won't be able to complain about what comes next."

Jane takes a step back, when from the index finger of this peacekeeper comes a kind of blue electric arc. The beam goes through every worker in front of him. The men dressed in simple rags immediately fall, then lay on the ground, they are caught in violent convulsions and emit growls that are no different from those of wounded animals.

The man in the long coat, turns around without showing the slightest expression and addresses the policemen.

"They're E ranks. They have a job, so we'll give them a chance to get out. Take them to the coliseum and then let the living return to their families. The public needs to be entertained and these men deserve to be punished, so it will be perfect this way."
