[orange, grinning smugly behind a lectern, speaking in a microphone] The operation was successful

[purple, an uneasy smile, replying to orange] Were there any casualties?

[purple] Thank you, I have no further questions

    If anyone is wondering: at least 40 people died, most of them young soldiers sleeping in the barracks.

        That depends on whether Venezuelan like my self count as humans or not.

    I feel like we are just a few years away from having to have papers to be alive.

    I mean if not having them can already get you sent to a prison camp in a foreign country for life, or if being a citizen of the wrong country can get you killed in your sleep and then the empire will act as if you didn’t ever exist, it really isn’t a stretch.
