《Colonial History》Your Revolutionary Companion
Advertisement
Soon after the speech, daily events bulletin firms made copies of it available for download to modigrams across Tir-Torzor. Records would later show it to be one of the most downloaded modigram files upon its immediate accessibility during the Great Troubles. During this time, curfew was starting to be broken en masse, to hold demonstrations in defiance of the occupations at each of the reservations.
In addition to its wide release, an unknown party authored and published supplementary reading material along with the speech’s copies called Your Revolutionary Companion.
The following are the contents of the published material:
Since the start of the Crazy Days, the Apiary would try to present the ensuing events as proof of humanity being a monolithic, yet irredeemably fractured, species, and use that to discredit and further crackdown on dissidents. They reported on the riots as humans destroying communities due to aimlessness and stupidity. Countering this image, associates involved in the creation of this publication used District 6 as a research sample. By investigating the properties targeted during the riots, speaking to surviving witnesses and participants, and reaching out to some of their own connections to gather other details, these associates pieced together priceless data to form a picture that was covered under layers of the colonial regime’s curated one-sided narrative.
What was found is that almost all the property, around 85% targeted during the riots, belonged to collaborators with a known history of advancing the Apiary agenda and generally exploiting the residents of the communities they did business in. The remaining 15% of property targeted with no known association to the Apiary, were found to have been mostly carried out by gangsters, loyalist provocateurs, and even the owners themselves due to rivalries, fraudulent purposes, or petty reasons, while the very small fraction of perpetrators are still left unidentified. In fact, it is 15% and not higher because when members of the communities found out that anti-Apiary associated possessions were being targeted, they set up patrols, checkpoints, and guard duty to prevent any malicious damage.

It does not sound aimless or stupid, does it? It sounds like the best qualities, like care and trust, are reserved for fellow humans and things that are beneficial to the whole, and vehemently oppose those that stand as the antithesis.
Human history is filled with people working together to preserve the integrity of the environment, helping each other through crises, using technological advances in attempts to alleviate distress, aiding the innocent against exploitation, and just letting harmless folks live their lives. All of which, not necessarily for an underlying ultimatum of self-enrichment or sanctimonious ego stroking, but for the sense of benefiting many in life itself. There were diverse societies, communities, and philosophies born out of this attitude, with some holding strong and thriving for a long time. These places and lifestyles were able to do this, by communally running their own means of production, dividing the fruits of their labor in accordance to need, and sharing responsibility in work, rule, and harmony without the implementation of strict hierarchies. Such have proven so-called “human nature” contrary, as this shows most people can be forward thinking, caring, ethical, studious, trustworthy, and quite deft at being a sovereign people.
It cannot be stressed enough; any hope of success requires keeping to a few fundamental basics.
Do not trust the system to reform, whether by itself or by active participation. For that matter, anyone who says they still have faith in making radical reform through the system’s mechanisms and demand the same from others, do not trust them either. It is built so that its mechanisms are made to maintain its own survival, not humanity. The system is not broken but working the way it was always intended. It is how it can get away with failing, and still have those who run the thing claim success. If it must be used, use it sparingly and only when it means advancing the total efficiency of eventual independence. Any more risks a state of enduring dependency on that corrupting structure that needs to be taken down, and it will not take much effort to become part of the problem. It is okay to look to someone who has an idea of what they are doing, but do not always rely on them to find a resolution every time. No one has an answer all the time. Plus, if there is one thing manipulators throughout time look for in others, it is another’s overreliance on the need for orders. It is how human monsters of the past were able to hijack positions of power and movements before, and that has not changed, so stay on guard. Avoiding making a devil’s deal with anyone not seeking to respect both humanity and environment should go without saying, but desperation can convince anyone that it is a good idea. If there is no one else to look up to, do not hesitate from the fear of the worst outcome doing what needs to be done. Be the leader you have been waiting for and help it reach its best outcome. Establish functional alternatives that will fill the vacuums created from the absence of the current system in place. Whether some alternatives are fulfilling already present voids, or there are plans set to seize the local means of production, do not stop creating new replacements and redundancies for new opportunities and emergencies in the future. Start and protect the alternatives expediently, work out any flaws that arise, and get fellow communities familiar with how they work. Doing so will form a stable foundation that can be used to lift others for a stronger resistance. The current system does not benefit humanity, but it is built in a way so that things will get worse even if some of its more detrimental elements are removed. The Apiary will use any negative fallout as proof of their conjectural superiority and convince people to reinstate them into power. Whatever plans formulated or alternatives established, make sure they respect the humanity and environment of others, long as they too do their part in similar respect. These are the people who you should try the hardest to find compromise. It is a fight for a common cause, but the goal for one way of life might not perfectly match with the goal of others. Agree to disagree on the intricacies, find common ground that would not be counter to what is being fighting for, do not shy away from a diversity of tactics, and create a stable structure to conduct the work necessary to achieve a solid end goal. What little variances between us all is not worth going it alone against an encompassing threat like the Apiary. Check the sources of your information. A source’s bias can allow it to focus more on subjects others may ignore for different reasons, but too much bias may blind it to equally important issues or highly sought after answers. Too much bias can also bleed into something far more concerning, which is the importance in the accuracy of facts. Whether they be instructions on how to construct something or the progress of the resistance, the accuracy of facts is key to good intel. Bad intel can cause irreparable damage to you, your allies, your relations, and your cause. It doesn’t matter if it’s done maliciously or not, always check and double check to see to it that it doesn’t aid the Apiary in any avoidable way.

8 578The Friendly Neighborhood Dungeon
A magical dungeon in a not so magical world. _____________________ This story is my attempt at NaNoWriMo 2017. Unlike my other story, this one is more family friendly ;) I'll be posting it as I write, usually after a rudimentary edit so any critique or suggestions are welcome as I'm doing this to improve my writing skills. Enjoy :D *I do not own the image. It was taken from google and will remove it if the creator asks.
8 291A Castle in a Teacup
One might say that to anger forces beyond the ken of fragile breakable mortals is a bad idea, others might say that meddling in dark forces with little chance of gain is also a bad idea, they would both be right by on all counts but they forget to mention also how incredibly stupid combining both of those things are. Stupid people don’t last so long on the mystic side of things, normal folks who wander over to the other side have a tendency to do one of two things, either A. figure out that the best thing to do is keep their head down and not draw attention from any entity that refers to humanity as “you mortals” , or B. something horrifying happens to them. As you may have guessed I fell into the second category, mostly because I thought there was a third option. See I though there must be an option C, an option where I got to end up not as some shitty back ally wizard cowering at the chance of discovery, praying that one of my wards or spells wouldn’t be noticed by something that goes bump in the night. No I would be the one who rose above all that. I would never have to be afraid. Well I made a good attempt at it that’s for damn sure, but unfortunately for me it turns out there is not an option C. At least not for me…
8 92Azure Tale
A man dies and finds himself in a queue. An Advisor to evil lords is seized by a portal. The two are taken and merged into something new. The new creature names himself Azure and is then thrown into a world of magic and fantasy. His first encounter causes a mishap that sends him and three others across the world. Now one wants to make their way home while Azure just wants to find a place in this new world. So starts Azure's tale. This was my first attempt at a story. I didn't really like where it was going and stopped writing it. I might come back to it at some point but this won't be updating for a long time.
8 117The Forerunner's Odyssey
The greatest tragedies are not the ones with the most unfortunate and unhappy endings, but rather the ones without an ending at all. So when Suran Ibrahim scaled the fresh crater, it was not out of exuberance for surviving his ordeal, nor was it out of desire to live in the brave, new world he found himself in. He simply longed for an ending to his odyssey. Mature 18+ Mostly for violence, some language, but anything else may show up eventually. I place the tag just so that I'm not restricted. I'm rewriting this to fix a host of issues. I'll try to update my progress in the blurb - I most likely wont post the revisions until I'm done for all chapters. Till then, c'ya later fam. Maybe. Character rework: 100% Planing: 80% Rewrite: 5/35 Editing: 5/35
