You Just Sank My Battleship!
Last month the NATIONSNAME Navy’s flagship scandalously sank while docked in the Lahabana Harbor. After analysis, experts concluded the primary cause was rust from poor maintenance.
I’ve encountered with 3 choices
1. “Can’t you see we need a hand in the navy?” complains Commodore Stephanie Bronte while directing a diving crew, “How are we supposed to maintain our fleet if our routine maintenance budget is so paltry? Bigtopia has better warships, and you can’t tell me they’re a martial powerhouse. Grant me as much funding as I need so this doesn’t ever happen again.”
2. “This only proves that battleships are obsolete,” concludes Lars Laine after watching the newest Star Trek movie, “NATIONSNAME needs weapons to combat the problems of the 23rd, I mean 21st century. We need to start research and development of an interstellar fleet or we’ll be left behind in the arms race against… I dunno Klingons?”
3. “I know the real cause of this catastrophe,” claims Crazy Boris, your least reliable spy, “Blackacre is obviously behind this attack. The signs of sabotage are everywhere.” He takes a swig of vodka before continuing, “The engine explosion was most likely caused by my old nemesis, Ussa Maddox. Give me a free hand and I’ll purge the spies that have infiltrated every level of NATIONSNAME.”
4. “You’re all ignoring the bigger problem!” shouts a protester outside your office window, desperately trying to catch your attention, “That sunken battleship is polluting the environment horribly. All kinds of chemicals are seeping from the wreckage, and we’re doing nothing to clean it up. Instead of building yet another war machine, how about we clean up some of our old messes, starting with this shipwreck.”
