Dierjakar, or known to most people as The Spire, lies as the World Capitol of D.A.R.G's Corporate Capitol, Ontarom. The Spire is seen as a safe haven given the dangerous weather, temperature, and people here. But The Spire is well protected with fortifications, corporate restrictions, and D.A.R.G's own Galactic Forces. The city is like most cities in D.A.R.G: Overpopulated, diverse, lit up like Times Square, and loud with the noises of Imperial Broadcasts, Propaganda, and Upbeat Music.
The Spire (the giant building in the picture above) itself is a story of it's own, a structure so massive and tall, it can be seen
and accessed from outer space! It serves as the symbol and the biggest receiver and router of Imperial Broadcasts, Data, and Network, think of it as a gigantic amalgamation of a data center, server, and cellular tower all at once. Yet despite its large size and its obvious purpose, it has left the public out of it's doors for quite some time...
..that is until now.
Today, a celebration of the grandest scale is being held all across the city, people from all over Imperial Space, as well as from all walks of life, have all gathered in this one city, hoping to get a small glimpse of some of D.A.R.G's top political officials, including Samoa Toskivich, the leader of D.A.R.G. The Streets are lined with people of all sorts and walks having a good time, while all of the city's screens display an intricately crafted stage and podium, crafted solely for this event, with accompanying music to serve as entertainment while the final touches are added. In the three large streets that are within view of the Stage, the setup is different. White tents, tables, and buffet lines litter the whole area, which are currently closed off to the public and are reserved only for V.I.P's who chose to go the extra mile to get a closer view of the stage. Here people mingled casually, enjoyed the food, and partied like gentlemen while the stages were set up.
Meanwhile, Samoa, as well as the other people, such as The Spire's Director, a Minister, and one of Ontarom's Celebrities, conversed among themselves rather briefly as their private ship, accompanied by a large escort, floated their way from the spire down to the staging area. When they arrived, they left off the ship in the order that they would give their speeches: The Celebrity, the Minister, the Director, and finally Samoa himself. They were accompanied by many guards, most of which were hired mercenaries with good backgrounds, until they all reached the backstage.
*stop the music*
When the Ontaromish celebrity came onto the stage, the music was silenced, and the citizens settled down. The speech was now about to go underway. The Celebrity gave a brief intro, and acted as the MC, introducing the other three when it was their time to speak to the crowd. Next was the Minister, who gave a one hour speech describing what benefits and expectations of offering The Spire to the public. Next came the Director, who spoke of how to get Into the Spire and what services are offered to the people who are inside the spire. Finally, Samoa Toskivich will close the presentation, and announce the official opening of The Spire to the public.
The Lorexian leader came out, hands clasped out in front of him, sporting a smile as he and two other guards walked out onto the stage. Then, giving only a slight pause, he grabbed the microphone and went at it with his speech, placing his gestures and his emotions into every word.
"You know, I've always had a soft spot for this city. Because when you think about it, this city is uniquely beautiful! I mean, what other city do you know has a GIANT FREAKIN' TOWER THAT REACHES INTO SPACE? Exactly! Also, you've got all these pretty colors of red, silver, and gold just sprinkled all about the place! Fun fact! Did you know, that Dierjakar is a model city? Yeah! It truly is! I keep a freakin' picture of the thing in my own personal quarters because it's so damn beautiful! And whenever I come to this city I can't help but feel a little warm inside! I mean, this place...heck...it does good to me. I think it's time that I return the favor, don't you think? Do some good to IT for once! That is why, I'm going to release my once private establishment to the public!
When you think about it, having literally the biggest freaking building IN THE GALAXY and only having select governmental officials be able to use it? Well, I'm not gonna lie...but feels pretty empty whenever I go in there, heh heh. You know it just...gets boring to have everything you hear on the communications, the phone, and even the fooking Imperinet be nothing but government-approved things, amiright? Anyways, I think it's time we changed this stupid system and just made things simpler and fun altogether by having some citizen-led channels being made on citizen-led broadcasts in a new and improved citizen-led Spire! Right? "YEAH!"
"Yeah! That guy knows what he's talkin' 'bout...HOW ABOUT WE OPEN THOSE DOORS TO THE DAMN SPIRE ALREADY!?!?!"
The crowd cheers once more, before being settled down by Samoa.
"Alright, then without any further ado, I pronounce that the access to The Spire, as well as access to The Spire's services...IS NOW OPEN TO THE PUBLIC! Thank you all for listening to us all and have a great afternoon!"
*Continue the music*
The Lorexian returned the microphone back to it's spot and hastily made his way backstage, meeting up with his fellow Minister, a male anigmae by the name of Kendric Alfalu, to discuss a few things while the party ensued. He spoke in a calmer, less emotional manner then on that stage.
"Well, that's one population problem dealt with."
"Yes, but unfortunately that is only going to last us so much until it appears again, Samoa."
"That's understandable, yes, but unless we can find a way to terraform gas giants...I doubt this is going to be an easy issue to fix..." He stepped away from the minister, clasping his hands behind him, he paused, letting out a small sigh and glancing at the minister.
"Look Kendric, we shall deal with said problem tomorrow, when we head for Carristian City. Until then, please try to have some fun. Your speech was so bland it made even me sleepy, and I feel as if you are an A.I with your lack of empathy. It's a party Kendric! You go to parties to socialize and express your emotions! It would be nice if you could show that once in awhile! Now I'm going to do just that, socialize...you're free to join me if you wish."
With that, Samoa left off with some guards to do some after-speech party mingling. Even though the speeches are over, the celebration is far from it.
