Accept. Bring a pocket knife. Wear formal wear. With a metal buckle.
You consider the chance of running into something unsavory along the way...unlikely but, it never hurt to be prepared. You also decide to purchase some formalwear this evening. Metal buckle just in case...
You don't actually own much...at all. You haven't really gone to events that require formal dress, or been a politician, or such. You spend 200 units to actually acquire some basic suit, tie, etc. 2722 units left.
You sleep and get up arise earlier than usual that morning, donning the formal clothing, including a suit, dress shoes, a tie, a black belt with a metallic buckle and a trilby. You tuck your ticket in the breast pocket and your pocket knife into your front right pants pocket.
You get to the public transport without issue, and the vehicle you board onto only has about 3 others on it, not counting staff. The transport vehicle did not appear to have windows that could be seen through on the outside, but you can view through them now that you are inside the vehicle. You know this is not typical of public transport vehicles.
The vehicle stops inside of a building. Strange. The building is quite bare and you are told to wait. You and the other three wait in a barren room with a couple of benches and a large 'airlock' set of doors, with one opening while the other stays closed. A staff member watches personally over the waiting room. They state that there are just a couple questions all of the accepted will be asked before taking the positions. The people accepted will then exit through another door.
You end up entering last. The setup is another barren room, with a chair, a table, and a screen with speakers.
It appears to be the face of the President.
The speakers emit voice. You wonder briefly if this was pre-recorded.
"Good morning, thank you for coming, indicating that you wish to take the position. There is an important question I must ask you though. Do you pledge to expressly follow my orders above all others, to value our nation over it's enemies, and to trust me over anyone else? Do you pledge to report suspicious activity you uncover under work or otherwise? Do you pledge to serve your president and government as set in the founding of this nation? In essence, I ask, are you willing to pledge yourself to utter loyalty to the office of the Presidency, which is granted the utmost degree of authority in all matters?"
...(Vote: How do you answer the question?)
