Chapter 82: Level up.
Secretary Ceasar had just given his latest speech, assuring the nation that the power outages would soon be fixed, and he had ordered the Department of Energy to deal with the matter.
But it was a lie, he had not done a single thing. The Secretary of Energy was hiding away somewhere in a bunker, and he was unreachable. Despite Ceasar’s presidency claim, in the real world, his presidency was not felt.
It would have helped perhaps if he was seen outside, doing something to help the people. But he was in hiding like everyone. He was not the president of anything.
This much, President Finch knew, and he said so from where he was tied to a chair in the command center, forced to watch Ceasar play the role of fictional president.
Marina was also in the room, sitting nervously beside President Finch.
Rather than respond to Finch, Ceasar looked at Marina. "I have always wondered what he saw in you that he could neglect duty and all reasoning just to be with you. Sure, your tits are nice, and the ass is perky but being President of the greatest nation on earth is incomparable." He smiled at her lewdly.
Marina shivered and leaned closer to President Finch. She hoped that someone would soon come and rescue them before Ceasar laid his nasty paws on her. Even mistresses had standards.
Secretary Ceasar whirled around and faced the screen. Reports were coming in of mist in the sky and other places. He grinned and prepared himself to give another speech.
He needed lab rats. Inviting people to the white house under false pretenses of distributing food and water was a good way to capture new lab rats. Half of the white house was still standing. They could be held there.
Being president was awesome.

Sunshine was in the space, and she was thrilled because she had just repaired the last dog leg in her most recent order and completed level one.
