Near the end of the day's deliberations, the doors to the National Convention burst open and an entire platoon of guards rushed in.

"What is the meaning of this?" the President demanded, but the guards ignored him as they quickly accomplished their work: In a flurry of motion, VICTIM was taken hold of by three of the guards, dragged out of the building (over the vehement protest of his faction-mates), and, with the entire Convention gathered around various windows that had a view, VICTIM was summarily shot on the front lawn of the palace.

"He was a traitor to the Revolution," the captain of the guard simply said, almost daring the Convention to make a movement against him when he had quite a few soldiers as backing.

Gradually the Conventioners backed down and resumed their proceedings, albeit one fewer in number.
