48. MLT HAVE BEEN BEHIND THE GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN
:ciddie: :ciddie: :ciddie:
The Nominees:
Del Murder
Mister Adequate
Raistlin
Skyblade
smittenkitten
The Man
TonyUK
Vivi22
The United States Government closed shop for a little over two weeks. The official story is that Congress couldn't pass legislation to pay for trout through 2014, but who believes what the government says these days? Ignorant fools, that's who. So let me tell you what really happened.
Things were going fine. Not smooth, perhaps, but the US Government was getting the job done. Obama had the GOP under control, and it looked like Congress was going to make progress. But some felt that was... problematic. And so a team was assembled to stop the government in its tracks.
It would require the very best and a strategy only seen once before...
Introducing:
Raistlin as Dom Cobb
https://db.tt/RGdiBjM8
Raistlin leads the team. He's a master of infiltration and has the charisma necessary to bring everyone together.
Del Murder as Arthur
https://db.tt/ULqHt7IR
Del Murder is the brains. He sees the details nobody else does and looks damn sharp while doing so.
The Man as Eames
https://db.tt/7hqPuS79
The Man is a bit of a chameleon. He can convince anyone of anything, and is pretty charming himself.
smittenkitten as Ariadne
https://db.tt/2QRX8yi9
Just because she's the "token female" doesn't mean smittenkitten isn't just as important as everyone else. She's inconspicuous, perfect for distractions, and her special talents come in handy...
Mister Adequate as Mr Saito
https://db.tt/vNoro0TH
Mister Adequate has a personal stake in the government shutdown -- he needs them to approve a visa. Instead of simply sending the team, he accompanies to keep his investment secure.
Vivi22 as Yusuf
https://db.tt/Faegzhgc
Vivi22 is clever and daring. Without him, the multi tiered plan would never have been possible.
TonyUK as Professor Stephen Miles
https://db.tt/OwC1kT5S
TonyUK might not play a major role, but his is still an important one -- he and smittenkitten are closely tied, and was recommended her for the team.
and Skyblade as Robert Michael Fischer
https://db.tt/6L9YpBIA
Skyblade isn't a bad guy, but he's got ties to the government -- ties that can be exploited. Although he's in the dark, he is the key to the whole thing.
All they had to do was plant a seed. Cause a delay, stop the government for the briefest of moments, and Mister Adequate would have what he needed. Sixteen days is what they achieved -- an impossible success. But did the seed take root? I guess we'll find out. Which team member was most responsible for the success, though? Award Princess, would you do the honours? :)
Speech by Jiro, be sure to thank/rep him.
