Episode 5 Brave New World

Eyseck had left the Queen in the throne room to oversee the preparations for the arrival of the refugees. As he stepped out into the corridors of the facility, a sense of purpose filled him. His loyalty to the Queen and his commitment to her vision were unwavering.

He moved with precision, his every step carrying an air of authority and confidence. Eyseck had always been a trusted secretary to the Queen, and he took his role seriously.

He knew that the challenges they faced were immense, and it was his duty to support her in every way possible.

Since the new Queen's inauguration, she has brought about a wave of change and hope in this society, and he believed in her ability to lead with wisdom and compassion. This meritocratic world might continue to advance in technology, but it was the Queen's vision and leadership that held the potential to shape the future for the better.

Eyseck's thoughts turned to the refugees who would soon arrive, seeking asylum and refuge. He knew that their presence would bring both challenges and opportunities.

As Eyseck reflected on the Queen's decision to grant access to the refugees, a sense of admiration and respect welled up within him. Her choice to extend a hand of mercy and compassion was a stark contrast to the reign of the previous Queen, who had ruled with an iron fist and a merciless hand.

The previous Queen had been a tyrant, a ruler who had oppressed society and left behind a legacy of fear and suffering. Her actions had cast a long shadow over the people, and Eyseck had witnessed firsthand the hardships and injustices they had endured under her rule.

In contrast, Queen Reina's humility and willingness to offer refuge to those in need were a breath of fresh air. Her compassion and empathy were qualities that he admired deeply and that gave him confidence in her ability to lead with wisdom and fairness.

Eyseck wasted no time in setting up a virtual conference with the hospital administrators, urgently calling for their assistance in providing medical aid at the port where the refugees were scheduled to arrive. The holographic screens flickered to life, and the administrators' faces appeared on the display.

The sight of Sebastian was unexpected and alarming. Eyseck couldn't help but wonder about the former secretary's intentions. Will he come to reclaim his former position, or was there some other motive behind his presence?

With a composed and authoritative demeanor, Eyseck addressed the medical professionals, his voice resonating with purpose.

"We have a critical situation on our hands. A group of refugees is en route to our port, seeking asylum and refuge. We must be prepared to provide them with immediate medical attention and care."

He outlined the logistics and requirements for setting up medical triages, ensuring that the refugees would receive the necessary assistance upon their arrival.

He couldn't help but feel Sebastian's heavy gaze on him. Silently judging his actions.

The hospital administrators nodded in agreement, their expressions reflecting a shared sense of urgency. They pledged their support and resources, ensuring Eyseck that they would be ready to provide medical aid when the refugees arrived.

Eyseck watched as each hospital administrator left the virtual conference. However, as the last administrator departed, Eyseck's attention was drawn to the lingering presence of Sebastian, the former Queen's secretary.

A self-assured smirk adorned Sebastian's face, casting a shadow of suspicion over the situation. Eyseck's instincts went on high alert, and he couldn't help but wonder about the true motives behind Sebastian's reappearance.

"Was this really a good idea?" Sebastian said with a tinge of amusement, "Letting in foreign rabble like that so easily?"

"We have a duty to provide refuge to those who are suffering," Eyseck replied, his voice unwavering. "It's not just about letting in 'foreign rabble,' as you put it. It's about offering a chance at a better life to those who have faced hardships and persecution. Our society is built on principles of justice and fairness."

Sebastian laughs with a rich tone of ire. "Did you learn that from the new Queen?"

Eyseck's expression wavered at the mention of the Queen. "I—"

Sebastian's amusement seemed to deepen at Eyseck's response. "Idealism, Eyseck, has its limits. We must be practical and consider the implications of our actions. What if these refugees bring instability or conflict to our world? Are we prepared to deal with the consequences?"

Eyseck decided to confront Sebastian about his unexpected presence and newfound position as a hospital administrator.

"Sebastian," Eyseck began, "you talk about dealing with the consequences but it's quite surprising to see you in such a high position. How did you manage to secure a position as a hospital administrator after being thrown out?"

Sebastian's smirk persisted, and he responded with a cryptic air of confidence. "Oh, Eyseck, my cute succesor, one should never underestimate the power of adaptability and resourcefulness. As you know, I've always had a talent for finding opportunities."

Eyseck's suspicion deepened as he listened to Sebastian's words. Eyseck couldn't shake the feeling that Sebastian's presence in this role might be part of a larger scheme or plan.

"I have to leave," Eyseck said, exiting the virtual conference with a touch of an icon. "Do your job, Sebastian."

As talented and resourceful individuals, both Sebastian and Eyseck had risen through the ranks of their society, each driven by a desire to attain a position of influence and authority. They had distinguished themselves in various capacities, gaining recognition for their intelligence and adaptability.

The pivotal moment in their history had come when the former Queen, a tyrant who had ruled with an iron fist, announced a series of trials to determine her next trusted adviser. The position carried immense influence and access to the Queen's inner circle, making it a coveted role.

Eyseck failed. Sebastian succeeded.

Sebastian ruled with the tyrant Queen. Eyseck wondered what was in his head to have let the previous Queen stray so far from moral righteousness.

As Eyseck reflected on his journey as the Queen's trusted secretary, a sense of contentment washed over him. Her commitment to making positive changes in their society resonated deeply with him. In contrast to the former Queen's oppressive regime, Eyseck found solace and purpose in serving a leader whose values aligned so closely with his own.

He couldn't help but wonder if the society he now found himself in had lost sight of the importance of moral principles and the inherent value of human lives. Perhaps the grip of the former Queen still lingers in this brave new world.
