After the title card flashes on the screen, Arianna Wright starts her narrative.
"Damon White, serial murderer and unsanctioned Assassin was not born a killer... during the summer of 08' however, this mild mannered individual was the man behind the killings of "The Butcher of Medero"..."
"A quiet and reserved man, Damon was finally apprehended by two Elite Cadre soldiers given information by a criminal informant on the grounds of a plea bargain... it appears Damon was under contract by a local and unsanctionned Assassin Guild.
The mousy man did not struggle, and was whisked away to the Re-education facilities, where it was deemed that he had fallen too far for reintegration into society.
He never drank, never visited a brothel and never even uttered a swear of any kind. He was well known in the underworld for his ability to make people disappear, however. Once someone was targetted by his Guild and Damon was sent to them, they would simply cease to exist. When asked what his choice weapon was, he gave a chilling remark:
"I use axes..."
The thought of such a mouse of a man wielding such an inherently violent and bloody weapon is almost incomprehensible, intriguing officials enough to allow for more questions - Damon did not mind, but being the shy person he was, it took a while for the whole story to be told"
"Damon was orphaned at a young age and was sent to live with a foster parent in the quiet plantation town of Medero. The man promised to show the young boy his business and eventually make him a partner when he came of age. In the mean time, the boy would work as the man's personal house servant."
"The plantation life was hard, the man had several chores that needed to be done impeccably, lest he beat Damon. First, all the floors were to be given a thorough scrub, from attic to cellar. Given only a rudimentary supply of sponge and bucket, Damon had to go about on all floors scrubbing the vast floors until his knees and elbows were raw."
"Secondly, the boy had to ring a bell in the tower that would alert the field labourers to come into the mess for their meals... the bell was a heavy iron one, and forced Damon to grasp the rope chain with both hands, throwing his entire weight down to move the massive bell. Also, whenever the foster parent had any announcements (which was frequent) the boy would need to ring it even more..."
'Finally, the man required that firewood be chopped and stored within' the farm's storehouse each week. Sometime the shipment of logs would come late, and the boy had to result to chopping up nearby brushwood, a job that rendered the boy's pitiful body sore and stiff for days, while he still had to do his other tasks."
"Eventually, Damon became of age, the 19 year old was illiterate and held no other skills saved for his physical labour... he was not taught anything about managing a farm, and could not comprehend that the farm had a constantly poor yield...."
"One day, the man summoned him to the basement cellar. Damon was sure that he had not scrubbed the floor to his guardian's liking and prepared himself for another beating... however, instead of seeing an angered man with rod at the ready, he saw the man packing belongings into crates."
"I'm leaving Ethiopia," the man declared flatly. "Business has gone south and I'm avoiding the debt collectors... Business, you do understand don't you?"
"But sir! I do not! You haven't taught me anything! What shall I do now?"
"I wish I could take you my boy, but I won't be needing any scrubbing, bell ringing or woodcutting where I'm off to...I'm sure you'll find something along the lines of labourer...you are not particularly bright you know, and I've done my best with you."
"As the man turned around to tend to his goods, Damon noticed the wood axe propped against a a shelf. Hefting it easily in one movement Damon listened upstairs. His guardian had sent the labourers away for the day...no doubt intending to leave before they came back and skimp on their pay for the month."
"Imagining the man was a piece of brushwood to be felled, Damon swung at the back of the man's knees instantly lopping his lower legs off."
"As the screams echoed throughout the empty farm, Damon repeatedly lifted the axe above his head and brought it down, not unlike the bell he was tasked to ring in his youth. However, there was no loud ring accompanying each movement, but a wet smack."
"Soon, there was nothing left of the man that could not be scrubbed away... Damon found out that blood scrubbed out far easier than dirt and flour stains.
It was widely known amongst all who cared for the man that he would be leaving, so his disappearance was not questioned. The farm and all its contents were sold to collectors, but Damon took the axe. It seemed the man had given him some worthwhile business skills after all...."
"After telling this story to the Elite Cadre interrogators, he was immediately sent off to the Training Facilities where he would undergo the full indoctrination into the NoN's highly praised and elite "Fate Team Assassin" Programme where he will serve the Brotherhood and our nation for the rest of his life, doing the deeds less...capable people cannot for the well being of our great nation..."
"Before you today is the informant that announced the Butcher of Medero's identity.... due to recent legislation, Plea Bargaining has been abolished... this man is a convicted serial rapist and murderer - far below the calibre of the aforementioned Mr. White...
[...]
"On another note, infrastructure rebuilding is already underway. The NoN has entered rebuilding efforts post war, the Executive Minister promising that nothing will escape the massed efforts...
Construction of the Kolfe Memorial is also underway, the plan being that the entire square will become a life-sized diorama of the Siege of Kolfe... Life sized reliefs will forever glorify the heroic actions of our brothers on that fateful day... Eye witness accounts from the handful of survivors of the battle will be taken into account with forensic and video evidence to accurately outline the battle's final moments."
"That's all for today, and this is Adrianna Wright for Today's Execution. We'll see you next week and remember, "Don't do the crime... if you don't want to be the next guest on our show!" the hostess said with a warm smile.
