[SUBMITTED] A Predator On The Loose

Postby Daarwyrth » Mon Jun 14, 2021 4:26 pm

This issue idea was inspired by the situation regarding the Belgian soldier in hiding and threatening with attacks (I altered the narrative to have it be uninvolved with Covid or the pandemic). It goes without saying that the third option is the absolutely crazy option here, but I thought it could be a twist on the usual "deport all foreigners" trope. Yet if it goes too far, please let me know and I will change it. Feedback and comments are welcome, as always!

CURRENT DRAFT:
[Title] A Predator On The Loose

[Validity] Doesn't have No Immigration

[Description] A few weeks ago, Corporal @@RANDOMNAME_1@@ appeared on the radar of the @@DEMONYMADJECTIVE@@ Intelligence Agency after having expressed @@HIS_1@@ sympathies for a group of radicalised nationalist extremists who reportedly advocate for the assassination of prominent individuals of foreign descent. Yet the @@NAMEINITIALS@@IA's worst fears were realised when the corporal disappeared completely off the grid a few days ago, with only a threatening message left behind detailing @@HIS_1@@ violent intents.

[Option 1] "Foreign scum be warned: your blood will soak the streets of @@CAPITAL@@ by the end of this week," the Director of the @@NAMEINITIALS@@IA reads the message aloud, gulping loudly while stretching the collar of @@HIS@@ shirt. Your aide reminds you that the Director's parents are immigrants. "Our sources say @@HE_1@@ is hiding in the @@ANIMAL@@stone National Park, and is most likely armed to the teeth. The path ahead is simple: surround the park with the military and comb through it meter by meter. And when we find @@HIM_1@@..." the Director makes a shooting motion with @@HIS@@ fingers.

[Effect 1] angry wildlife is no longer the only thing being shot in the @@ANIMAL@@stone National Park

[Option 2] "And rob ourselves permanently of valuable intel?" asks the Minister of Defence incredulously in an unexpected reversal of roles. "If we want to tackle the root of the problem, then we need @@RANDOMNAME_1@@ alive and well to tell us everything about @@HIS_1@@ affiliates: who are they, where do the operate from, what are their plans? I propose we lure @@HIM_1@@ out of hiding by a clever little scheme: are @@HIS_1@@ parents still alive? Does @@HE_1@@ have a lover? Find someone @@HE_1@@ cares about, and broadcast their pleas across the nation. @@HE_1@@'ll know we have them soon enough..."

[Effect 2] the pleas of fearful and tearful family members are often used by the police to draw out confessions

[Option 3] A military official looking suspiciously a lot like @@RANDOMNAME_1@@ if it weren't for the moustache leisurely approaches you. "Maybe we should instead hear @@HIM_1@@ out? I agree, killing off the foreign scum-err, I mean, residents is a bit harsh... but they would make a good forced labour force, no? Cut the good, native working men and women some slack, why don't you, @@LEADER@@?"

{Effect 3] foreigners arriving in @@NAME@@ are welcomed by smiling border officials hanging iron chains around their necks

I like it! Cleverly written, good options. "Your aide reminds you that the Director's parents are immigrants." is a line that comes out of nowhere, but I feel it works as is.

I don't think that would be a smart option for a situation where someone armed is threatening to launch a bloodbath :P
