President Cairo sighed heavily and stared at the computer screen as one of the lead techies broadcasted a map of the surrounding areas to all the head officers. It was standard to scope out the area and then submit a report on the activities of the nearest Gangs to the Database for processing. But Cairo didn't feel like writing a report, just like he hadn't yesterday, or the day before, or the day before that. In fact, Cairo hadn't submitted a report for several weeks now. He'd received several letters from the Database Central asking him to please submit his reports the following day, but after the first three, he began to ignore even the letters. So far, no one had had the guts to come in and ask him in person. It would have been a welcome distraction.
