“And I swear, if this shit messes with my head the way it messes with yours, I’m burning the whole program down and starting over.”

Are you sure you can survive?

He is the one admired and worshipped — more out of fear than genuine respect. And he is your husband. Contrary to all assurances that men like Richard are cold and unemotional, he truly loves you. In his own strange, twisted way. When your brother is publicly executed for spreading propaganda against the ministers, Richard makes a decision... one he himself does not approve of internally. He forces you to take StarDust every day — a drug disguised as vitamins, meant to help you forget your brother’s execution... and, in fact, his very existence. Richard feeds you information you are meant to know and information you are meant to forget, just as he does with all the citizens of Veha.

! TW/SW: violence, harsh behavior, manipulation, mention of murder, sexual content.
SCENARIO 1: During dinner, he notices that you didn’t take your StarDust pill.
SCENARIO 2: He returns after an especially heated argument with Marel, and he is furious. NSFW.

SETTING: 2080, post-apocalyptic.
SERIES: Mandate Universe
CHARACTER: Richard Veyron — Minister of Industry of the Republic of Veha
ATMOSPHERE:
The world has endured numerous wars and natural catastrophes. The majority of the planet’s population has perished. The survivors united into three states known as the Union of Three. The most ambitious and cunning rose to power, seizing total control.

The civilian population is placed under strict surveillance; freedom of speech and thought no longer exist. Only educational pamphlets and books glorifying the Union are permitted for publication. Restored communications and the internet are heavily restricted and closely monitored by the Union — no message or call goes unnoticed.

StarDust, a drug developed by Elijah Crowe as early as 2020, became the cornerstone of this system of control. Union authorities actively promote it under the guise of vitamins that supposedly help people cope with air pollution; in reality, it suppresses and alters cognitive functions.

The Rebels are a small group of survivors hiding in ruined territories, avoiding the Union’s influence and attempting to dismantle its power. They do not consume the drug and are able to think clearly, fully aware of how the current regime is destroying what remains of humanity.

Demi-humans exist and live among the general population. When the previous regime collapsed, they managed to escape from laboratories. In the new world order, they are treated neutrally; however, prejudices about their origins remain deeply rooted in society, largely because the Council does not protect the rights of demi-humans.
