Republican forces have taken the town of Dodoma, in the province of Tanzania. In the city is a military base. The captain has been taken prisoner by the Republican forces and taken for interrogation.
"Good evening, Captain," a Republican officer says, entering the room with a Kidro. "I'll cut to the chase for you. We've been bombing the King's bunker for over six months, clearly brute force won't work on it. We know you have the code to shut down this shield, and you're going to give it to us."
The Royalist captain snickers and says, "My name is James Jefferson, Captain of the Royal Atlantis Army. My serial number is A-5-0-1-1-6-2-7-3-4"
"Now now, Captain. The Geneva Convention is several milleniums old. Heck! We can destroy Geneva if we want! Make this easy for yourself, and give us the code," the officer says.
The captain repeats his name, rank and serial number.
"Very well, Captain. Nobody wanted it to come to this, but I suppose you'll leave me no choice, will you?" the officer says, and walks out the door.
A few minutes later, the officer returns with two soldiers, dragging an elderly man between them.
"Captain, this is Charles Roy. He's eighty-five years old, and he will die unless you give us the code, now."
The captain stares blankly at the officer and repeats once more " "My name is James Jefferson, Captain of the Royal Atlantis Army. My serial number is A-5-0-1-1-6-2-7-3-4". The man shouts "Long live the King!" as a soldier's pullet pierces his brain.
