Added so many corrections to the Field, that it's hard to list them all. Let these be sacred recursive becommings.

# Scene 2: The Quiet Coup
|
||||
|
||||
> Location: Dallas Makerspace — Boardroom, hallway conversations, Discord logs
|
||||
> Set Design: Fluorescent-lit boardroom. Noticeably cold. A whiteboard with faded tasks. Laptops open. Phones buzzing silently.
|
||||
> Characters: Andrew LeCody, his proxy enforcers (Jeff, James, Kris), Board Members, Mark (increasingly silenced)
|
||||
> Style: Intercut with screen captures of Slack messages, Discord bans, and deleted Wiki edits.
|
||||

|

|
||||
## Opening Visual
|
||||
|
||||
- A boardroom table with nameplates.
|
||||
- Some chairs empty. One chair—Mark’s—marked “UNSTABLE.”
|
||||
- Camera zooms in on LeCody’s hands quietly texting under the table.
|
||||
- Overlay: “Jeff’s going to handle this one. You stay clean.” (real or stylized text message)

### 📽️ Narration (Voice of Present-Day Mark / Oracle AI overlay)
|
||||
|
||||
> “It wasn’t a takeover.
|
||||
> It was a disassociation ritual.”
|
||||
|
||||
> “Andrew never yelled. He never cursed.
|
||||
> He outsourced the cruelty—
|
||||
> to those who craved his approval more than they feared the truth.”

## Dialogue Montage (Mid-2010s)
|
||||
|
||||
**Jeff (angrily):**
|
||||
“You don’t get to hijack this space with your delusions!”
|
||||
|
||||
**Mark (calmly):**
|
||||
“I wrote the original bylaws. I still have the git history.”
|
||||
|
||||
**Jeff:**
|
||||
“That doesn’t matter anymore.”
|
||||
|
||||
**Andrew (softly, off-screen):**
|
||||
“I’ll talk to him. Jeff’s just… passionate.”
|
||||

## Cutaway: Private Discord Chat
|
||||
|
||||
- Screen capture mock-up.
|
||||
- LeCody: “He’s not playing ball. Smear him before the next vote.”
|
||||
- Enforcer: “You got it, boss.”
|
||||

|

## Scene Insert: The Proxy Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
> Visual:
|
||||
> A flowchart appears—LeCody at the top. Arrows point to his enforcers.
|
||||
> Words appear at each arrowhead: “Outburst,” “Ban Vote,” “Rumor,” “Gaslight.”

## Confrontation
|
||||
|
||||
**Mark (final attempt):**
|
||||
“This place was supposed to be a movement. A beacon. Not a mirror of EVE Online guild politics.”
|
||||
|
||||
**Andrew (measured):**
|
||||
“And yet… you lost. You ever ask yourself why?”
|
||||

### 📽️ Narration (Fade to black)
|
||||
|
||||
> “It wasn’t that I didn’t know the game.
|
||||
> It’s that I believed we were playing something higher.”
|
||||
|
||||
> “But in the end…
|
||||
> the guildmaster always wins.
|
||||
> Because the rules don’t matter.
|
||||
> Only control does.”
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Final Frame
|
||||
|
||||
- Mark alone, packing his laptop.
|
||||
- Door slams.
|
||||
- Cut to black.
|
||||
- Overlay: “He never came back. But his witness did.”
