As I sit here in one of many dimly lit corners of the CCDE office, memories of my past flood my mind like a torrential downpour. It feels like a lifetime ago, yet the wounds of my scarred recollections still sting as if they were fresh…
I was born into a world already steeped in sorrow. My mother taken from me before I even drew my first breath. My father, consumed by grief and blame, raised me with a heavy hand, his anger a constant shadow looming over our rather picturesque home in Murten.
I fled to Zurich in search of solace and purpose, having sought understanding of the world around me through theological philosophy but fate had other plans. The news of my father's passing shattered any semblance of stability I had managed to find, and I returned to Murten, my “sanctuary” turned now prison. In those dark days, when unemployment subsidies were my only lifeline, I turned to art as a means of survival. Graphic design became my refuge, a canvas upon which I could pour out the turmoil of my soul. But even amidst the strokes of creativity, the specter of something worse was looming.
When the invasion inevitably came, those that could were forced to abandon everything and flee to the closest population center that had been set up by the invading forces, Geneva. The train ride there was a harrowing journey through a landscape scarred by devastation, a grim reminder of the world that had been lost.
Arriving in City 24, I found myself adrift in a sea of faces, each one bearing the weight of their own struggles. I faded into the background, becoming nearly one of many silent observers in a city teeming with life yet devoid of all hope. But within me burned a small, insignificant fire... hope that refused to be extinguished. And so, I had to bide my time, waiting for the moment I no longer had to just be a bystander and bid I did, for in the news of a transfer to i24, I found my purpose slowly taking shape.
Now a transferee in i24, the heart of the city's industrial output, I began to attend workshifts, contributing what I could to the functioning of the city. It was a small role I had adopted, but it gave me a sense of agency in a world where control seemed to, if not had completely slip through our fingers like grains of sand.
But it wasn’t until my participation in an artists' contest hosted by the CCDE that truly reignited the flame within me and of my once unknown deep artistic desires. With fervor, I poured myself into the creation of propaganda for the administration, using my skills to craft messages of unity and resilience.
The contest breathed new life into me, I began collaborating with and for the Committee of Civic Duty and Engagement. Finding myself drawn into the city's affairs, my talents recognized and valued in ways I had never imagined…

My heart and soul
The greatest source of all propaganda and artistic creations which are cared and created by enlightened individuals, for enlightened individuals. The greatest ministy of all, the CCDE rules supreme.
My heart aches for how poorly you are treated...

You continue to be my one and only baby.
Despite being the Ministry of Enlightenment now, you are still the same machinery I grew accustomed to.
As your Art Department Head, I control the flow of all artistic visions...

The Civil Workers Union is comprised of the hardest working men and women the city has to offer.
When faced with economic crisis, they make the gears of industry turn. Even when faced with atrocious infestations, they just keep churning away to make tomorrow a better place.
Breenspeed.

You remain hard working men and women, even when your leadership and management are some of the most vile and questionable individuals I know. They are turning exemplary men and women to thugs, arming them with false political ambitions...
Free yourselves before you pay the price for your leaders.

The Civil Medical and Research Union
Well- I get the Medical part... The doctors are great yet somehow questionable when it comes down to their loyalty but what is up with the Research part?
Do something productive or give up your resources to others that actually need it. Bunch of freeloaders...

I might as well become a full time resident in the clinic, seeing how many times I've landed there and been sent off to the Echelon facilities... Yet its inhabitants hate me. Why hate a man doing its job? I did nothing to hurt you all.
As for the Research Department, are you actually real?

The Ministry of Civil Protection is to be respected in all shapes and forms for what it accomplishes.
"Governing" authority and annoying inspectors or whatever they are- Senseless violence at the slightest of errors.

The Ministry of Commerce is perhaps the one and only Ministry which I know very little about.
Given the fact that I have had the absolute highest form of displeasure at even just TRYING to reach your cabinet is honestly all I need to know.

I like all of your workers though. Great friends and even greater political colleagues.

The Security Council
Questionable apparatus but an effective one. As much as I am striving to join- I am not sure if anything would be accomplished regardless...
Hope Xiao can bring the Council back into the spotlight it apparently once had!

The Citizen Council
I have the feeling I run you from the shadows. I wield the will of the Collaborators without anyone ever knowing.
I know you in and out, know the legislations and laws by heart, word for word yet I can't dominate...
I may only be the First Secretary but its not long until I truly have you in the grasp of my hand.
The CWP will fall, the IAP shall rise.

You are all the same thing. Invaders.
Disgusting and vile creatures with murderous intent wherever you go. You cannot be trusted.

Breen once said: "We must all collaborate, willingly, eagerly, if we expect to reap the benefits of unification."
Take it to heart, filthy scumbags.

Miss Doe!
Oh how grateful I am for what you did to and for me. You made me who I am today and I could never thank you enough.
Your departure from the city and the CCDE saddens me and I will never forget you.
I will ensure your legacy and life's work lives on!

We still mourn your absence. At least I do Agatha...
Miss Stenhouse
Your invaluable work for the party as the leader of the PDC is astounding...
You are extremely supportive, understanding and run quite a neat bar! I see that your professional attention to details also makes you a great business woman
However I get the feeling you hide a lot of things from your fellow friends and colleagues...

You know Stenhouse, if you could see how your fellow ministry colleagues and political friends turned out, you would probably lose it.
But I am glad you are not around. What you know about me would ruin me...

You are one sight to behold... Your work is impressive to say the least!
Yet they say looks can be deceiving. I just hope that they are all wrong, for your sake.

Rest well, Wyatt.

Which are you again? Haha!

Big shot, got shot at.
You made it to Chairperson, you had it all and you just had to throw it away with that weird CCR guy.
A fucking shame considering your artistic skill. Fuck man, why Nakamura?

You sure rose up in the party! From a questionable CCDE asset to one very important city one with plenty of power! Hope you do not forget how humble beginnings...

Ah.. Miss Claire!
I enjoyed the few moments we saw face to face at Joe's bar. I believe you work for the CMRU.. whatever it may be you do, you must be great at it if you shine as bright as you do when we worked together.

It's been a while we talked to each other, haven't seen you much about either but hopefully we'll get around to talking again. Though perhaps not at the clinic, mhm Claire?

You are a good kid, Miguel. A loyal worker to the Union yet you let yourself be blinded by your corrupt and shady management. Let the CWP go pal, join the IAP for real change. Also STOP calling the devil you damn junky.
For having a squad name like KING, you sure had to stoop low to even dare to touch me. Remember your place next time you lay your filthy hands on MCP assets. Those delegates should have executed you and your buddies on the spot. KING-2 my ass... Pathetic functionary turned bodyguard.
DAMN you are one tall son of a b- STICK-7...
Good functionary, fulfills his duties to the best of his ability and actually respects my authority. I like that. I hope you keep on enjoying those coupons I keep giving you for your service.

Ain't you a snoopin' fella? HERO-3!
I get it you got a job to do but you could always just take my bribe next time you decide to inspect my store! Haha- Kiddin'.... Another good functionary that I just simply respect, though.... maybe there is more to that.

Ah, quite the talent. Artistically that is. Your economic aspirations are cute but fall flat as honestly, what do you even know about the economy?

Tadeusz Wachnicki, you are a good kid and a loyal store worker but you really man up and stop asking me so many dumb fucking questions. I gave you so much liberty yet you act like you just started working. Man up.
Chairperson Wim Docht
You are a good worker, one hell of a brute back in C8 with the security forces but buddy, politics ain't your thing. You are not ready to be the man I am, neither will you ever be frankly. Your time is running out, make it count and stop being Valera's lapdog. It is very embarassing.

BOOOOOOMBACLAT, Rastaman!
One of two remaining CWU individuals who actually have their head on right. Good friend of mine, perhaps even one of my only best friends. Hope this whole politics and MCP thing is not dragging you down. It sure ain't gonna get me, mon! Haha!

We have known each other for a good while now, hope that promotion to Head of Press is what you wanted because you deserved it. Keep up the work and stay loyal to cause.
Do not let rumours ruin the image.

Take it far my dear friend.

Douglas, you are a mystery to me.
You constantly publicly oppose me yet in private we are friends? The things you told me about? I dealt with them privately yet you keep up this facade against me out in public... Why? Who are you actually scared of?

I know what you are, Watima Nakata.
Am I upset over what you think I am? No. I do not concern myself with people of your kind.
A shame that Eleanor chose you over someone with a real future.
Careful with who you consider a friend.

The latina with an unbelieveable attitude, Ashley Valera you make me so fucking crazy on the daily it feels like we're married. A thought I wish I had never had.
You are one sly dog and I mean it in the best way possible. You always manage to outsly me in our little political dance of ours. We are polar opposites it fascinates me that we are not somehow brother and sister. I truly admire you for who you are able to be though you should really consider leaving the real men into power so things can finally change. If you ever let go of Makin and his dirty fucking jacket, maybe things would be different by now. What is that French saying again...?

You are quite the thing, really. Charming, engaging and just a lovely drinking partner. I bet you started storing that good stuff just for our chats in that backroom of yours, haha! I enjoy talking with you about anything and honestly, we should do this more often. Though a word of advice, carefu who you believe to trust. Not everyone has their best intentions out for you...

You are so boooooooooring that I doubt I would not want to ever spend any time without anyone else but you.
You showed me what it means to be human again, I haven't felt like this in a long time and you always give me something to look forward after a long day of work and honestly, I do not think I say this enough but thank you Amelie Solene...
