//------------------------------// // Clip Seven: Tactics // Story: TCB - Ponify // by vadram //------------------------------// HAThE Conversion Bureau Ponify - Tactics The rest of Joe's day was uneventful. He made enough money to get something to eat, and he even found some good food in a dumpster behind a dinner, as well as an old mattress. With his stomach full he carried the mattress back to the camp located underneath the railway crossing. Now sitting in a more confortable bed, shielded from the rain, he looked towards the billboard. At sometime around midnight the signal was lost and the masked man next clip started playing. “People of Earth! You have been lied to!” “The Conversion Bureau is not what it seems.” This time it was a clipshow with footage taken from various security and traffic cameras, as well as images caught with a phone's camera. At first they showed a hooded person bumping into random persons on the street. A few shots were taken with a phone, and it was much clearer what the man was actually doing. It was something like out of a spy movie. The man placed a tracker on his "victims," in their pockets, bags, their coats sleeves, or wherever he could. In a second clip it showed another person coming up to the marks, approaching them on the streets and spraying perfume in their faces, under the pretence of giving away free samples. Then came a the intro of the TCB commercial. And finally a shot in which every one of them entered a TCB office that very same day. “The Conversion Bureau is not what it seems. They are using mind altering drugs to make people more susceptible to their ads, to a degree that no one can stop themselves from converting.” “Before tomorrow ends we will be showing the world the rest of the proof.” “We are H.A.T.E.C.B. Humans Against The Conversion Bureau, and expect to hear from us soon.” The message ends, and the commercials resumed playing as Joe goes to sleep.
