ABOUT PEACE
reasons peace needs to happen:
- ~~SHOWN To Help the Heavens with theeir ultimatee goal (Naman)~~
- ~~Leverage for the (Revolt ) (Quarie)
◦ If peace talks collapse, the Revolt can use the failure to build their own status.
◦ If no negotiation happens at all, the Revolt may instead attempt to destroy the Keep.~~
- ~~Potentially better treatment (Gatekeepers) (Rees)
Peace could lead to improved conditions and possibly less direct control from the Gatekeepers.
”notice before entry”?
”supervised access”?
”arrest restrictions”
”a limit on personnel and weaponry-”~~
- ~~SHOWN Impending loss of light (Founders) (Solace: make her a greenbarer**)**
◦ If the light disappears for good, we will lose all greenery and the solar panels will stop generating power.
◦ Only thin, minimal shafts of sunlight are already reaching us.
◦ Archeston keeps blocking more light; if this continues we will live in total darkness with no ability to grow food. A truce is the only way to prevent that outcome.
No light means:
NO FOOD (Fully rely on)
NO SOLAR POWER (Fully rely on)
- OVERPOPULATION
(mention of overpopulation)
At least we dont purge out citizens.
Or for just being even lazy.
they give you a small box of food as a reward for it
that’ll be more then we have soon after they take all our light
eventually lose light for good and thus we’ll have no more greenery and no more power from ur solar pannels
small glimpses of light coming through and reaching the bareee miniumum of areea
archeston taking out light increasingly, getting worse. and that if things progress we’ll be livign in total darkness with no ability for greenery, we must make some kind of truce
id prefer we just knock a few buildings down. make some way for the sun.. we’ve got the upperhand their, as we can just demolish the foundations. and result in killing our own? is this really a decent solution.
you could ask gpt for each scene as we go through to please provide 3 options as ideas for how i could make the idea of loss of sunloight detrimental
—
we need to see atom as a peaceful genuine person in the beginning. (a see early on) beg of s3/s2
- first read atom, read about the antyh, and read all peace possible additions moment sthroughout
- could be somethign liek atom assisiting the demoplish on an anythian building to make way for light
maybe dawce there too: these people need help. im going to stick around and help them for a while
—
maybe Revolt threat is to blow up the heavens pillar instead? (for light)
— combine this scene into s2~~
reasons peace wont end well:
- ~~SHOWN Naman’s death (Founders) (Naman)
Naman was murdered for trying to act as a peaceful intermediary with the Heavens, and we must acknowledge and discuss this reality.~~
- ~~Ban on conception (Laureen)
Childbearing will be forbidden.
They take your children away—or, if you are lucky, they kill them outright.~~
- ~~Moons devices in our eyes (Alane)
They will install Moons devices so they control everything we see and do.
They implant devices in your eyes so they can watch you at all times.~~
- ~~SHOWN Perceived weakness (William)
-Peace makes us look weak and foolish.
-Merely attempting peace would lead to total annihilation—he is protecting his people by opposing.~~
- ~~SHOWN First settlers, second-class treatment (Gopal - atom instead?)
We were here first; we built this city, only for them to use it and trample us.~~
- ~~SHOWN The failure of the (Gatekeepers) (Rees or WIlliam?)
The Gatekeepers were meant to deliver peace, yet they became just another puppet of the elite Heavens instead of an olive branch for us.
We fought hard to claim our boundaries and territory in the past, but the Gatekeepers still treat us as ground they can trample. Accepting peace would only deepen that precedent.~~
- ~~SHOWN Technological gap is so steep. And that they will never share and thus is we don’t do something now they will already be too far ahead.
Machines have already automated every job and displaced many people in Archeston, and the same could happen here. (Taichi)
They’ll just replace us like they replaced heir own… With Machnes…~~
- ~~Forced roles and rationing (Natool)
They purge their own citizens for “laziness” or simply because of overpopulation.~~
Oh and I was so looking forward to being forced into slavery.
I’d rather fight and die then that…
(exachange look to Quarie)
9. **SHOWN Suppression of (Hopen) (The Mother)
-**Hopen will not endorse peace because the Heavens are fiercely anti-religious and will demand that Hopen’s practices cease.
-Perhaps she is honored her seat at the table as way of bribing her.
10. ~~SHOWN Disarmament (Metradome) (Mr. Farren)
Firearms will be outlawed.~~
11. ~~SHOWN Revolt ’ purpose (Revolt ) (Quarie)
The Revolt oppose peace because it would strip them of their very reason for existing.~~
