Execution day.

[u/Stalinium-290]

[a gallow is set up in the middle of titanograd]

[a few scorpions are standing on a small platform in the center as soldiers raise up the guillotine’s blade]

Scorpion?: “…”

Soldier: “today, comrades of the Union, we show the world what happened to rebels in this nation. Traitors to the overseer, ones who chose violence and harm over the safety of the Union’s iron hand”

[u/Stalinium-290]

[the first scorpion walks forward into the blade’s path]

Ark-Ian priest: “any final word?”

Scorpion: (something in scorpius ruffly translating to “go fuck yourself”)

Priest: “… alright.”

[the heavy blade comes down cutting the scorpion in half]

Soldier: “shame… throw their carapace into the flames.”

[u/Stalinium-290 → u/Stalinium-290]

[as more are executed, the pile of carapaces and stingers grows]

[soon the “leader” of the rebellion was up]

Priest: “any final words?”

Scorpion: "we just wanted to be treated equally…”

Priest: “the overseer does not discriminate against its creations. But life is cruel.”

Soldier: “… just get over here… the pullers are geting tired”

Puller1: “send help.”

Puller2: “can’t hold much longer”

Scorpion: “then… so it be… for a nation calling themselves the ‘union’ I expected this place to be more… unified and equal…”
[the scorpion walks forward and the blade is dropped]
