Scene Twenty Nine: Parliament
Home Secretary:
Mister Speaker, the events at the Magnusson house over the last few weeks have stunned the world. The accident with the fighter plane is another unexplained incident. Some people are even saying that there is a mystical snake of some sorts which is causing these unfortunate events. I say we have to be down to earth and put the blame on the Magnusson family; Grunwald Magnusson is a man who is capable of inventing any number of weapons. We have evidence to put forward that he nearly killed three boys with some sort of stun gun when he was only a teenager. He is a very able and cunning person; top of his class in every subject. We have his school record here; Math’s, Chemistry, Physics, Science; he was head and shoulders above anyone else, his marks are on par with the best in the world. The trouble is he became a loner and a fanatic. We cannot let this situation go on; he has to be brought to justice. The world’s press is saying that we cannot even get into one house. I give way to the honorable gentleman.
MP for Glasgow:
Can we not just leave things for the moment and simply wait him out; he is bound to run out of food and the power and water has been cut off.
Home Secretary:
We believe he has a store of these things, plus a generator, we also believe he has been planning this situation for a long time. A friend of his said that he asked her to help him steal a valuable relic from the British Library so he could stop this so called dragon. I say that this was ruse to move the blame away from him. I give way to the honorable gentleman.
MP for Liverpool;
Have you not found out why the photos and recordings of the events have not been released?
Home Secretary:
This is another strange thing that I believe Grun Magnusson is responsible for. We have to get into the house to assess the situation; I can’t release any details as yet for security reasons.
The debate went on for a long time, as usual, but the real reason for the catastrophe was ignored.
