Airon stared at Pamela Milton, the leader of the Commonwealth, prepared to explain in detail the formation of the different communities and organizations that had emerged after the outbreak of the Wildfire virus.
"Allow me to explain how these communities have formed. Initially, many survivors grouped together based on affinity, either because they had been together in the same place or shared a common goal of survival. These small communities organized themselves around natural leaders, such as community leaders, police forces, or even military deserters who took control to maintain order and security."
"However, as time passed and the communities grew, some of them evolved into much larger and more powerful organizations. These organizations have solid resources and structures that enable them to survive in such a dangerous world."
"One of those organizations is the CRM, which stands for Civic Republic Military. Its formation is somewhat peculiar and shrouded in mystery. According to official and unofficial information, it is believed that the CRM originated from an alliance between former government members, the military, and renowned scientists. Their stated objective is to restore civilization and work towards a sustainable future for humanity."
Pamela Milton nodded, interested in the details of this particular organization.
"However, as we delve deeper into our investigation, we have discovered that the reality of the CRM is much more complex and darker than what has been officially revealed. There are theories and testimonies suggesting that the CRM is involved in questionable activities, such as scientific experiments, population control, and an authoritarian approach in pursuit of their vision of the future. These revelations have raised doubts and concerns about the true nature of this organization."
Pamela's face reflected a mix of intrigue and concern at Airon's revelations. It was evident that the history of the CRM went far beyond what had been publicly disclosed.
Pamela, with a discerning look, asked, "Do you have concrete evidence for these claims?"
Airon nodded, signaling to Glenn to display drone-taken photographs and explained, "We cannot confirm it fully at this moment, but we have gathered evidence and testimonies pointing in that direction. But this is one of the latest communities the CRM described, 5,000 souls."
"They murdered 5,000 survivors?" Mercer slammed the table forcefully, looking at the photographs that showed a base in ruins and bodies scattered everywhere.
"The CRM stands out for its organizational capacity, advanced technology, and significant resources. It is believed that they are responsible for the creation of relatively prosperous and well-organized communities, but when they become a problem, they are wiped out as you see in the photographs."
"While the purpose of the CRM initially seems noble and focused on survival and rebuilding, there have been indications that their motivations may be more complex and obscured. Some reports suggest that the CRM may be involved in questionable practices, such as human experimentation, strict control of information, and the suppression of those who oppose them."
"Mass murder, destruction of thriving lives..."
"The purpose of the CRM seems to be in pursuit of a particular vision of a new ordered world, establishing a centralized hierarchy and control in an attempt to preserve civilization and restore society as it was before the apocalypse. However, the true nature and scope of their objectives remain a mystery."
Pamela Milton listened attentively to Airon's words about the CRM, her face reflecting a mix of intrigue, concern, and a hint of disbelief. As Airon delved into the details and mentioned the questionable activities and authoritarian focus of the CRM, her expression grew darker. The leader of the Commonwealth felt puzzled and cautious, aware that the revelations could jeopardize the safety and stability of her community.
On the other hand, Mercer, who was present in the meeting, listened with an impassive expression. His eyes narrowed slightly, analyzing every word from Airon. While he was a man of action and loyalty to the Commonwealth, the revelations about the CRM had awakened his sense of alertness and distrust. He knew that a thorough investigation of these accusations was necessary and how they could potentially affect his community.
The high-ranking officials of the Commonwealth present in the meeting showed different reactions. Some maintained composure and listened skeptically, while others displayed unease and engaged in low-voiced debates. The information presented by Airon challenged their perceptions and raised questions about alliances and potential risks.
Together, the conference room was filled with a tense atmosphere laden with uncertainty. Airon's words had shaken the foundations of trust in the relations between the SCT and the Commonwealth. It was evident that the revelations about the CRM required deep reflection and careful evaluation of the next course of action to be taken.
Airon addressed Pamela Milton in a cold and determined tone, asserting his authority as a commander. His words resounded harshly in the conference room as he presented his assessment straightforwardly.
"Pamela Milton, your community, the Commonwealth, is not prepared to face the CRM. Your vision of an orderly and prosperous society is admirable, but it falls short of the standards we have set to ensure effective survival and reconstruction in this new world."
Pamela Milton listened attentively, aware of the seriousness in Airon's words and the uncertain fate that could await her community.
"When the CRM finds you, your elimination will be inevitable. Our resources, technology, and skills far surpass your defense capabilities. I urge you to reconsider your position and consider becoming our protege."
Airon maintained his gaze fixed on Pamela, showing no emotion. His tone was firm and direct, conveying a sense of inevitability in the confrontation between the two groups.
"Do not underestimate the CRM, Pamela Milton. We are relentless in our pursuit of a safe and sustainable future. Your community does not measure up to our standards, and facing us will only lead to your defeat."
The conversation continued, but now the shadow of the CRM loomed over the discussion table. Airon was determined to unravel the secrets and hidden motivations of this mysterious organization, aware that its impact on the future of humanity could be both positive and dangerous.
