The Story of Bullshuti: Chapter 12

(The Personal Traits Kill the President - Chapter 12)

---

In the tense aftermath of the revelation of Lily Malcom’s betrayal, the Farashiuman Warthen Spacecraft buzzed with the urgency of a revolution on the brink of chaos. The delegates convened in an emergency session, acutely aware that the ramifications of Lily’s plans could still destabilize their alliances and turn them against one another. Yet, unknown to them, a deeper and more insidious threat lurked in the shadows—a threat that stemmed from personal traits and past grievances.

A Gathering Storm

Admiral Amiskrovan Bikelli stood at the head of the conference table, addressing the assembled leaders. “We must remain vigilant. The fallout from Lily’s actions is not just political; it’s personal. Those loyal to her will seek retribution, and they may exploit our differences.”

Among the delegates, the tension was palpable. Each faction had its own grievances and personal vendettas, and old rivalries simmered just below the surface. Valka, now recognized as a key player in the revolution, felt the weight of responsibility on her shoulders. “We need to put our differences aside,” she urged. “If we’re to survive this, we must unite against the threats facing us.”

However, not everyone was on board. Geron, the fierce loyalist to Lily Malcom, had escaped the confrontation in the control room and was rallying dissent among his fellow delegates. “Why should we trust those who’ve betrayed us?” he challenged, his voice low and dangerous. “We have fought too hard to let ourselves be used as pawns in this charade.”

A Web of Betrayal

As the discussions turned heated, Geron used his personal grievances to sow discord. He started planting seeds of doubt, recalling past grievances between factions and emphasizing the very traits that made them different. “Do you not see how your weaknesses have led to our downfall?” he sneered, targeting the more insecure delegates, exploiting their fears.

The divisions began to fracture their unity further. Some delegates shifted uncomfortably, recalling old conflicts and allowing their personal traits—pride, jealousy, and mistrust—to cloud their judgment. Geron thrived on this, his manipulative charm wrapping around them like a vise. The atmosphere grew toxic, and Valka sensed that the situation was spiraling out of control.

The Assassination Plot

In the dark recesses of the ship, Geron convened a secret meeting with a handful of disgruntled delegates, all of whom shared his loyalty to Lily. “We cannot let this revolution continue under the leadership of those who have betrayed us,” he hissed. “If we eliminate the Admiral and the Xverts, we can take back what is rightfully ours. Their unity is their strength, and we will exploit that.”

With a sinister plan taking shape, they began to devise ways to eliminate Admiral Bikelli and Valka, who had become the face of resistance against Lily’s loyalists. They would use their personal traits against them, exploiting their sense of safety and unity to strike when least expected.

The Fateful Night

As the night descended on the Farashiuman Warthen Spacecraft, a palpable sense of foreboding enveloped the corridors. The delegates were winding down from a long day of discussions, and the Admiral had invited a select few to join him for a late-night strategy meeting. Among those invited was Valka, who was eager to solidify their plans for the next phase of the revolution.

As they gathered in the conference room, Valka couldn’t shake the feeling that they were being watched. The air felt heavy, and the usual camaraderie among the delegates was tinged with unease. “What’s wrong?” Bikelli asked, noticing her apprehension.
