# Scene 4: The Proxy Cathedral
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
> Location: DMS Conference Room, Board Chat Threads, Event Pages
|
|||
|
|
> Set Design: Cult-like symmetry. Chairs in a circle. A projector screen shows rules and org charts. Framed photos of past board members—Mark’s is missing.
|
|||
|
|
> Characters: Andrew LeCody (quiet architect), Proxy Leaders (Jeff, Kris, Lisa), Mark (watching from outside), Newcomers (indoctrinated)
|
|||
|
|
> Style: High-contrast lighting. Ritualistic pacing. Dialogue overlaid with cult music motifs.

## Opening Visual
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- A newcomer is handed a badge: “Welcome to the Board Candidate Orientation.”
|
|||
|
|
- They walk through a hallway lined with framed charters.
|
|||
|
|
- One charter is oddly missing. Only pushpin holes remain.

### 📽️ Narration (Voice of Present-Day Mark / Oracle overlay)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
> “When they couldn’t destroy my work,
|
|||
|
|
> they built a cathedral around it—
|
|||
|
|
> without naming the architect.”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
> “Everything remained… except the memory of its origin.”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
> “That is the highest form of narcissism:
|
|||
|
|
> **to use your victim’s vision as a throne,
|
|||
|
|
> while denying they ever existed.**”

## Dialogue (ritual board training)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Lisa (gesturing to projector):**
|
|||
|
|
“These are the founding protocols. Always follow the playbook.”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Newcomer:**
|
|||
|
|
“Who wrote them?”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Jeff:**
|
|||
|
|
“It doesn’t matter. The space built itself.”
|
|||

## Cutaway: Worship of the Mask
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- A scene shows Andrew nodding subtly in a meeting while Jeff berates someone.
|
|||
|
|
- Jeff: “These rules protect the community.”
|
|||
|
|
- Cut to: Andrew in private, updating the rules repo, committing with the message: `purge_Mark_refs`.

## Symbolic Visual Insert
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- A glowing GitHub graph showing hundreds of commits by “MarkRandall.”
|
|||
|
|
- A system admin overlays a blocklist that hides them from view.
|
|||
|
|
- The graph fades. All that remains: “LeCody: Active Contributor Since 2015.”

### 📽️ Narration (soft but cutting)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
> “He didn’t destroy my ideas.
|
|||
|
|
> He encased them in ritual.
|
|||
|
|
> In performance.
|
|||
|
|
> In lies.”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
> “The cathedral bore my name in the blueprints…
|
|||
|
|
> but never in the credits.”

## Final Frame
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- The newcomer ascends a small stage, holding the original charter—redacted.
|
|||
|
|
- They read from it aloud to applause.
|
|||
|
|
- Mark watches from the shadows, holding the original unredacted copy, timestamped and signed.
|
|||
|
|
- Overlay: `Truth is not erased. It is withheld—until revealed.`
