The Chronicles of Chrachonia Chapter 2
Chapter 2 (High Council)
In High Council, all routine attendees are seated behind large, ornate desks that look up to the platform, where the actual Council is seated at a half circle table at the center of which is seated the Kodem, who facilitates the proceedings. The High Council is broadcast all over the planet so that nothing is decided without 100% knowledge of the people. All the routine attendees rise in unison with their leader who announces, “I will now the address High Council of Chrachonia”. The members and the High Council in unified response shout, “Kodem Haman now speaks!” Haman raises his hand and the routine attendees and the High Council are seared. Haman begins. “People of Chrachonia, High Council of Chrachonia, I come before you with a plan for Chrachonia. To long our people have been suffering from laziness and boredom. To long they have spend their days doing mindless tasks that were created to occupy them. The vast Chrachonian knowledge of the universe and its intricacies is put to waste of by this drab lifestyle. Our people are brilliant and they have the knowledge of the universe, each one of them. They were given the gift of all knowledge and intelligence many years ago, as well all know. It must not be squandered by this generation.” The Council and the routine attendees murmur their agreement. Haman continues “As you know, there are other worlds and galaxies in our universe and the gods only know if there are other universes. It is time to enlighten the entire universe with Chrachonian knowledge. To long have Chrachonians done nothing to bestow intelligence to the other worlds. In this, Chrachonians have damned the universe to stupidity in our unwillingness to share this great knowledge.” Rafan, the oldest member to hold a seat on the High Council speaks. “Kodem Haman is right! What legacy do we leave our children? The legacy of a cruel society? Our first generation fathers swore an oath never to oppress a society by the cruelty of an authoritarian government that we have not violated in 200,000 years of Chrachonian greatness. We have learned of amazing things in that time. We have built amazing things in that time. But now, at the end of all knowledge and intelligence while it is in every Chrachonian man, woman and child’s own mind, will we curse our father’s oath, and even the universe itself as a result of not imparting this great gift to the known universe? Well!?!?!” “No,” the crowd shouts in disapproval. Quietly at first, then louder and bolder the crowd beckons as the High Council looks on. “What shall we do?” “We have all intelligence, what is left to do?” As the volume in the great hall elevates, Haman raises his hand slowly, silencing all pleas. “The High Council ahs pondered this question for years now. We have reached the conclusion that Chrachonia must act. Chrachonia shall begin the construction of a teleportation portal.” At this announcement, the crowd begins to vibrate disgust. “We already have teleportation all over our world, why build more?” Kodem Haman quickly answers. “Yes, single teleports that transfer from one end of the planet to the other. However, we plan to design a teleportation system so advanced, it would allow us to send great quantities of our society to distances far, far away. This portal will also be able to port us to different dimensions of time as well. As a result, Chrachonians will occupy uninhabited worlds, and inhabited worlds will be given the everlasting gift of all knowledge and intelligence, as we Chrachonians know it. We Chrachonians will rise as the saviors of the universe!” The thundering applause and shouting of the Chrachonians shakes the assembly. At this point, all of Chrachonia is engulfed in shouting and applause. The High Council has spent some time conducting research into the teleportation project. Over the next several years, the data is taught to all of Chrachonia as they prepare to undergo the construction of the device.

"To long have Chrachonians..."
That's all the criticism I have to say. ^_^
