"Sorry, I know it's not nice when he stares and as his dad, I shouldn't encourage and I'm rambling..." Carl cleared his throat and focused himself. "...I hope you understand now that any sort of violence or crime will go neither unseen nor unpunished. I'm here to offer the people who wish it a chance at a better future, not clemency for their crimes."
A good number of people started to leave and the guard moved to the podium to intercept them with a speech. "All security personnel are to immediately begin escorting those wishing to remain, to their suites."
The instant he gave the order, the security wishing to stay executed the order without question, luckily the presence of an actual military officer was a beacon for them to follow.
As people filed out, more were ushered in and the security guards could be heard reiterating the command that anyone with no interest in leaving should return to their suites.
Leanna stepped forward and asked Carl if she could take the podium.
