What finally prompted the start of assassination attempts on Fawn Jackson? – Wierdlet
“Sooner or later,” they said, “she is going to mess up.”
“The lure of wealthy living,” they said, “will make her one of us.”
“She can’t possibly rework the system with what little she has,” they said, “she’s going to crash and burn.”
And on the off chance that she might not act according to their sneering predictions, they put the regular obstacles in her way.
Two years later, she owned two mega-corporations and a significant portion of the largest continent on Greater Deregulation. She did not own a car. She did not own a mansion. What she did own was a large number of residential flats, which she had gathered incrementally, and used to make her next purchase. (Alongside fixing what was wrong with the buildings and lowering the rent.)
This time, it was an offer on Main Transit.
“If she buys Main Transit,” they said, “she could soon own us!”
They sent the first assassin the following week.
How dare she work to make everyones’ lives better! That just wasn’t the Deregulation Way.
Unfortunately for them, she had also purchased Main Security.
