Prelude
*beach house of Siona Arahna, governor of Siona colony*
"She did WHAT?!" Siona looks up from government documents she is currently working on. Her eyes widen. "Paul..." she whispers, tears in her eyes. Nuclear attack - he must be dead...
"Mom..." Young, teenage girl, Siona and Paul's daughter, steps up. She is visibly in shock. "Mum, tell me, that it is not true! Tell me, that auntie Anaja didn't do that horrible thing. It must've been mistake, no...?"
"Zuzie, honey, of course she not..." Siona staggers, unsure. "I.., I don't know. Something must have happened. I..." She falls silent, deeply in shock upon realization. "She did it..."
Zuzana throws herself around Siona's neck. "Mom..."
Siona looks up, anger growing in her. "Sister, what have you done? Why, tell me..." She clenches her fists. "Well, then..."
Zuzana let's go, and stares at her mother. "Mum...?"
Siona's expression hardens. She involuntary touches place on her shoulder, where tracking chip is installed. "Honey, bring me knife..."
*three hours later in front of Siona Arahna nation's Capitol building*
"... I, Siona Arahna, hereby swear my loyalty to this newborn nation, and promise to bear my duty as its new leader to it and its citizens as my first priority. I thank all of you for your confidence in me, and I promise you, that I will do my best to lead you through this both glorious and tragic time, to the better future..."
Multiple cameras are recording, and entire ceremony is broadcast throughout the region.
Siona continues: "I also hereby condemn my sister Anaja for atrocity done to Zabrastan people. Anihilating whole sovereign country with nuclear attack is unforgivable, regardless of circumstances. Sister, if you are watching this, hear this. I will do my best to punish you for you deed. Do you hear me? This is..." she staggers, on the brink of fainting, and stops speaking.
Silence.
After while, she motions to crowd, her voice weak, but determined. "I must retreat to my private space. I will talk to public later. Excuse me, please..."
With that, she turns around, and without looking back, disappears inside Capitol.
