Who am I? My name is Detective Inspector Benjamin Brentwood, Code name B; I graduated Northumbria university with a first in criminology. I have worked for Scotland Yard for ten years and arrested over 100 felons for crimes ranging from petty theft to terrorist activity. I do not discriminate and I am not afraid to charge even children or old people. I am 42 years old, I have a wife and 2 beautiful daughters and I wish to keep the world safe for them.
What time is it? The year is 2098, Crime rates in the last century quadruple, widespread lawlessness and looting led to social/governmental reform. We now live under a more "totalitarian" regime but it keeps us safe, it all hinges on justice and punishment keeping Britain's subjects in order. It is a Tuesday, 8:30pm, it's been a long day.
Where am I? I am in a tiny room, slightly claustrophobic, a singular light bulb illuminates a small medium size desk and not much else, there's two way glass to my left, and small recording device concealed underneath my chair, there's a metal door behind the suspect slightly to the left with a double lock on it. There is also an out of use water-cooler behind me with a filing cabinet next to it.
What surrounds me? In front of me sits my suspect, Georgina Graeber, accused of murder in second degree outside an electronics shop, She seems unaware of the allegations but that doesn't throw me, My partner sits to my right, Angela Anderson; code name A, she's been in the business nearly as long as I have, however she has a tendency to get a little passionate about her work.
What is my relationship to the things around me? Georgina is my naive suspect of my current investigation, she has no idea that she is actually the one standing accused of the crime; she probably considers herself a good law abiding citizen little does she know, A (my partner) is my scribe, bad cop to my good cop and my secondary in this enquiry.
What's just happened? I just tied up the case of the Zodiac Killer, turned out to be coat hanger from Slough! Who knew? I got my assistant Tina to send my paperwork down to Human Resources for approval and to send up my next suspect for questioning.
What do I want? I want Georgina to confess to the crime, I want her to stop interrupting my partner, I want to forget the horrible images that plague my mind, I want to rid the world of unsolved crime, I want to her to see that this is the only way the system to can hold up.
What's in my way? Her perceptions of her own innocence, the fact she was in Sweden selling bottled water, the tedious process, My job and desires to do this job and a strong memory,
What am I going do to get what I want? Simply fabricate her whereabouts, right down a false report, show her some disturbing imagery, convince her that this is the only way the world can work, show that she isn't the only one.
