Report: The Triumvirate

Author: Heather LathamDate: 180 days post-Mist — Confidentiality: Public
Objective
Define the triumvirate and explain its working to the public.
  Background
The triumvirate is a natural political alliance of 3 individuals to protect and lead the survivors of Lille's Camp.
  "Triumvirate" is an unofficial nickname that became official when we manage to create more important relationships with other survivor groups and a title became necessary. Its member then naturally became "Consuls". The rest of the New Government of Lille developped from there.

  • Saw proof that Anne-Line is never wrong about the Mist.
  • Slowly learned to trust Anne-Line.

  • Opinions

    Lillois' opinion on triumvirate
  • We learned to trust them and their decision and that they will protect us without being unduly tyrants.
  • We are very proud of the work done by Lille to fight back against the Mist and to protect everyone regardless of their usefulness level.
  • Parisians' opinion on triumvirate
  • They think we are illegitimate tyrants.
  • They want us to be brought back in line and forced to share our hard-gained ressources for "the good of the entire country.
  • They want to force us to obey the "legitimate authority" of their Parisian general.

  • Conclusion

    All Lillois can agree that the triumvirate has proven that it has our best interests at heart and the skills to defend them. It's obvious the Parisians are only spreading lies to destabilise our group in order to take advantage of our resources—and it's not as if we have refused to share them with them! But rather than accept gift, they only want to own everything outright and to control us...
