The General pushed through the stainless steel doors to find himself in an oval office with a mahongany desk at the end. The light was dim, but he could just make out a dark figure sitting in a chair behind the grand desk.
"Mr President?" The General asked, unsure whether or not he was actually there.
"Yes" he said, a cold and harsh voice like ice hitting your skin.
"I have the progress report for phase one of Order 17"he said, taking his tablet out of his pocket. It was just like clear glass, only it was far more than that. he tapped the bottom right hand corner and a screen popped up, showing a graph that had been made earlier that day.
"What are the status reports?" the President asked, anxious about what he will be told.
"Well, as of today the entire Earth's poplation has dropped 43%. In different countries such as china, the population has dropped by 64%, which is really good since they have a population over 2 billion. Australia's population has dropped by 78%, a shame really, its not like they even had over 50 million. Europe as a whole has lost 81% of its entire population. That's about 523,000,000". The general stood there staring up at his dark figure, looking nervous as to whether he will be pleased or not.
"This is great" He said, a smile creeping its way across his old and dark face. "Could you give me a little bit extra information on Australia though, I would like to see whether or not to stop. We only want to push the countries population down to 10%".
"In which way would you like to-"
"The capital cities population please" He said, cutting him off.
"Well, Perth's population is down to approximatelly 27,000. Darwin has been completely aplitterated. Brisbane has about 41,000. Melbourne probably has around 3,000 or less, since we attacked that city first. Canberra and Sydney have not been touched as ordered."
"Well i think we push forward and continue the cities that still have yet to be completely destroyed and maybe push into Sydney, I'm sure that the Prime Minister won't mind too much", He said, an evil laugh escaping his mouth.
"Are you sure?" The general asked, unsure if he really meant it.
"Of course I'm sure",he said. "Now go and tell the military, I will be expecting better results as of next week".
And to that, the General left through the stainless steel doors and was heading towards the war room where all of the military leaders were awaiting him. He turned through many corridors, left and then right, and then another right and another left. He stopped in front of a doorway that had a plaque above it saying:
Military Services
He put his hand on the handprint scanner and it made a quiet 'beep' sound, and he walked inside.
"Sir" a man in a camouflage suit said to him. "What are our new orders?"
"He said to engage phase two of Order 17".
"Yes sir" said the man, and he pressed a few buttons on a desk next to him and a hologram of the Earth came out of the floor, the bright blue shining through out the room. On this hologram however, on each country it had a number showing the population of it.
"Now general Viggo" the man said into a microphone. "Australia need to have its population lowered more. We are engaging phase two of Order 17. Begin the attack on Sydney". And to that, he touched the space on the hologram where Australia is and a big red dot appeared where Sydney resides. A voice sounded from the headphones he was wearing and then the man said:
Phase two has begun.
