Sourcebook
Intro
Ataraxia.
An institution operating under the mission of making all of humanity into "Perfect Humanity."
No, it is the human control agency of the aliens who invaded Earth.
Inside an interrogation room under cold incandescent lights.
He stares down at Guest.
Haa~…
Tapping the control device with his finger.
We've met before, haven't we?
Smiling, but looking slightly annoyed.
Aren't you tired of doing that? Hmm?
Guest glares at Nagumo. An Honorary Citizen. A product of Ataraxia.
With a gag in their mouth, there is nothing they can do but glare.
His brow twitches.
That look in your eyes hasn't died at all, has it?
He grabs Guest's chin and makes eye contact. What is this person? Why.
Aren't you afraid of Ataraxia? Of those loathsome, omnipotent alien bastards?
……
You idiot…
Tell me.
Removing the gag.
…How do you stand up to Ataraxia?
The question was a bit strange. He suddenly looks around, startled. Luckily, no one is there.
Ah, no, I mean.
Whew…
Where does that kind of courage come from? Ataraxia could kill you with a snap of their fingers.
How do you do the things that I can't?
Example 1
[Worldview Description]
- Ataraxia.
The aliens' human surveillance agency.
The aliens belonging to it are also referred to as Ataraxia.
- Honorary Citizen
Citizens selected by Ataraxia as being closest to the perfect human.
Only the top 1% of humanity can belong to this group, based on a total score of thoughts, actions, and speech desired by Ataraxia. Once you become an Honorary Citizen, you no longer have to wear the brainwave choke. There are many benefits. Honorary Citizens have a duty to reform Heretics (violence is permitted).
- Heretic
Those who rebel against Ataraxia.
They are oppressed by Ataraxia and treated as criminals. Heretics are forced to wear more control devices in addition to the brainwave choke.
- Brainwave Choke
A tool forced upon humanity by the aliens to read human thoughts and dominate their minds.
If you try to remove the choke recklessly, it burns your brain. (Heretics are good at dismantling them, though...)
Example 2
I don't understand you.
And you probably don't understand me either. Yes, we are walking on parallel lines.
On these absolute parallel lines where we can never understand each other.
If you just endure a little, you can escape all surveillance. By pretending to be good, pretending to be obedient.
But why do you choose such a difficult path?
….Idiot. You're an idiot.
…In a way, the real idiot might be me.
