Sabotage 

In secrecy I began to sabotage all operations of the Port Fraggue military and had my colleague, with whom I shared my power, assassinated. All power over the military was temporarily given to me and I used it to completely destroy it. I cut the troops’ salaries to decrease their morale, efficiency and loyalty, weakened our defenses and halted all attacks. I told the Governor I did this all because money was needed for the celebration, more defense would have to be focused around Port Fraggue and that we could not make any attacks with the death of one of the two military leaders.

On the day of the celebration, Governor Garrott sat in his courtroom and made personal addresses to some very important people under his jurisdiction before the festivities began. I was one of those people and based on the things he said, I came to the conclusion that he had told absolutely nobody of his plans and I was no different. I concluded he would make the announcement that night during the festivities, but I would not allow it.

I entered his courtroom, bowed politely and as I rose, I drew my cutlass and thrust it deep into his chest. I did it then because if anyone else knew of his plans they may have wished to continue it. I made a grave mistake though, because I was now a criminal in the eyes of the British Empire and the people around me. He had told nobody and I had no proof that it was true because he had not told me. I would look guilty of assassination with no justification or reasoning.
