A District, more often than not, becomes dilapidated and undisciplined as a result of mismanagement or outright corruption at the hands of the Headeacekeeper there. When this is the case, the only solution is a complete overhaul of the crumbling infrastructure.
The first step is to remove the corrupt Headpeacekeeper from his position ...
When my hovercraft lands, I waste no time heading to the office of the Headpeacekeeper. Reports of Cray's corruption began to leak, and now he must face justice. As I march, six peacekeepers march with me and form a protective hexagon position to keep me safe from danger.
These peacekeepers are disciplined young District 2 men, fresh from the Acropolis. Their uniforms and their weapons are the latest model. These men and the many, many reinforcements which will come after them are just what I need to turn District 12 into a proper and efficient District. Together, we march to the courtyard of the Peacekeepers Headquarters. Headpeacekeeper Cray, the corrupt idiot that he is, agreed to meet me in the courtyard under the false assumption that I was just an advisor.
When preforming an arrest of a corrupt Headpeacekeeper, be sure to be swift and arrest him upon arrival.
Cray walked up to me, his uniform covered in coal dust as well as a few stains of an unknown origin.
He extends his arm for a handshake. "Headpeacekeeper Aetius Cray, at your service."
I do not shake his hand, but instead give an order to my guards. "Guards, size him!"
The six peacekeepers surround him, and two of the grab his arms. One of those two handcuffs his hands behind his back. All the while, he looks surprised and somewhat befuddled; he is unable to even speak.
Remember that it is important to follow protocal when arresting a corrupt Headpeacekeeper, no matter how much he dishonored the Peacekeepers Armed Forces. Just because he displayed the law, does not mean you should ...
"Aetius Cray, you are charged with gross misconduct, mismanagement, and corruption. You are hereby relieved of your position, and placed under arrest. You will be sent back to District 2, where you will stand before a Court Martial."
I address my next order to two of my Peacekeepers. "You two, take him away."
As they drag Cray back to the hovercraft's brig, I notice that the Peacekeepers in the base gather around the courtyard out of curiosity at who I am. Their uniforms are ragged, muddy, and stained with coal dust. Some of the Peacekeepers here appear overweight, some appear drunk or hungover, and at least one appeared pregnant.
A Peacekeeper serves his Headpeacekeeper. This is how it should be, as a Headpeacekeeper can not manage a district smoothly without the support of those under his command. However, if the Headpeacekeeper himself is corrupt, than the Peacekeepers below his command are helpless to stop him and are also often vulnerable to false advice. A corrupt Headpeacekeeper might give those below his command permission to act in a manner in violation of the peacekeeper code of conduct, but the peacekeeper might believe that their district was exempted from these rules if the Headpeacekeeper permitted their violation.
It is for this reason that the old garrison should be given the benefit of the doubt, but you should make it clear from the beginning that misconduct will no longer be tolerated.
Ihada camera set up in the courtyard. This is so that not only will the peacekeepers of the old garrison hear me, but the civilians watching this from their televisions and the monitors in the District Square will here me as well. While it is unlikely that everyone will get the memo, word should spread so that anyone who missed it will find out.
"I feel I should introduce myself to you. My name is Headpeacekeeper Romulus Thread, and I am now in charge of this District. The old Headpeacekeeper, Aetius Cray, is under lock and key as he awaits Court Martial.
There are going to be changes to District 12. Breaking of laws may have been allowed during the mismanagement of Cray, but now they are to be punished to full degree. Do not worry though; as of now you all have a clean slate and all misconduct on your part prior to this moment will fall on Cray for allowing them.
However, from now on you all must follow the laws to the fullest degree. District 12 is falling apart, and I was sent here to fix it. Nothing will get in my way."
After the camera turns off, I look around at the Old Garrison Peacekeepers in the courtyard. They seem scared, disappointed, angry, and generally speechless. Luckily, new Peacekeepers will be coming in just a few hours.
The old garrison will just have to be made to understand.
