The platform in the market center is deemed too small and the surrounding area is unable to accommodate the near entire population of Husband. Instead, a large stage is erected in front of the imposing military compound. Screens are set up to ensure even those who will be at the far edge of the crowd, will have complete and uninterrupted viewing of the event.The mass of people, guided by the booming announcement that all will be underway shortly, and the Myrmidons which line the streets, begin filtering in from all areas of the sector. Many are confused by the call for a public gathering, but it is soon made clear when they catch sight of the nooses dangling on the platform ahead of them. Off to the side of the platform is another smaller one, with a podium and covered seating.
