CSC 62 : Autocrat's Automotive Dreams
April 1967, Great People’s Place, Centreville, Democratic Republic of the Commune
You, among others, have had the privilege of being invited here, at the People’s Palace by the Minister of Transports.
This is probably very important, but neither you nor the people around you seems to know why.
Either they wanted to create a surprise, or the information was more likely not communicated correctly.
Upon reaching the entrance, you and your fellow invitee comrades were escorted to a large meeting room.
Going forward a few minutes enters the Minister.
Sitting on a chair, he silently scrutinized every invitee for what seemed like a minute, then exclaimed :
“My dear comrades, it is with great pleasure we invited you today.”
“As you are aware, we, the people of this great country, have been relying on our comrades from the Komintern to provide us with automotive transportation.”A few seconds of silence ensue, he looks at his papers and once again glances at the invitees.
“Our great leader tasked you with designing an automobile for our people.”
Another moment of silence. No comments from anyone could be heard.
“We will go through the details and specifications decreated by our Great Leader.”
