I watched the little worm children squirm and shift on their feet. It was almost too easy seeing which knew we were right and which didn't want to believe it but knew we were right anyway. That was a good advantage over them. Dib was able to see some of the obvious but it was my specialty of finding the smaller details. Those who would need probational collars from the start and those who would never see one themselves. These pathetic humans didn't stand a chance.
"What we have created is a system. A system free from backstabbing, and confusion. Where no one is ever in harms way because they chose not to be there. Where your life is happy and complication free be YOU chose it to be. Not because your parents or your cousin or your sisters and brothers told you to do it but because YOU of all humans chose to." I emphasized and saw the level of interest rise.
"We only want what is best for you and what is best is choice. Choice to live. Choice to be safe. Choice to have fun and not worry about whether or not your neighbor likes you. We can give you that choice." Dib added in. a saw a few people smile. Whether the whole population thought he crazy or not the Dib had a way of making anything sound good. "Now what you saw bringing you here is new technology that of which is our first step in the right direction of Peace. PECE. Protective extensional Combat-ready extras. Created for you're safety and well being. Helping you with your personalized needs."
"Of course with choice comes those who needs to give the Option. That is why we have taken it upon ourselves with that burden." I spoke carefully making sure I kept certain humans in my sight. Some were not so approved of this. My PAK was starting to over heat. We needed to make this quick. I looked up to the human, he acknowledge what I was thinking and addressed the crowd.
"yes we would stand up to this challenge. HOWEVER! This does not alter with what we will offer you. We do not ask you to kiss our shoes and make marble statues of us. Nor do we expect of you to devote every second of your life to us. All we ask of you is your compliance and in return your safety." a murmur passed over the humans and I was afraid we might lose them. Dib grabbed the railing of the balcony surprising me. He watched a couple of faces then smiled. It was one of the few times I wasn't sure of his actions. "We understand your lack in comfort. Honestly we do. Look around you though! who do you see? Friends? Neighbors? Loved ones and family? What price would you pay to ensure their safety? What would you give up to make sure your daughter or your son had a warm bed at night? Humans! Comrades! We are willing to ensure not just your safety, but your family's safety. We are all sick and tired of worrying about when and where our families are. We are sick and tired of relying on false hope and protection. We are sick and tired comrades!" he yelled and the crowd started opening up.
"I'm sick of worrying about my sister!"
"I'm sick of worrying if my business will keep my family running!"
"I'm sick of worrying about my son in college!" the crowed called out hundreds of names and people who they worried to death about. Dib was cheering them on. Hyping the crowds need to say exactly what the person next to them agreed with.
"Comrades throw down the towel! Don't let fear control your life anymore. Join us! Let us take your fear! Let US be the ones to worry for you! Sleep sound comrades because your lives are now safe at hand!" the crowds burst into cheering and a flow of humans ran around in directions no one knew but they felt needed to be. They all looked like pathetic ants. Happy but pathetic ants. Of course not all those ants were happy but we would deal with those later.
A burning pain was willing its way up my spine but seeing everything that was being put into play, how easily most of the humans were giving us rule, and how happy Dib seemed that not Everyone thought he was crazy... the pain wasn't all that bad.
