the ends justify the means为达目的不择手段

Our story begins, as these stories often do... ...with a young, up-and-coming politician. He's a deeply religious man and a member of the Conservative Party. He's completely single-minded and has no regard for the political process. The more power he attains, the more obvious his zealotry... ...and the more aggressive his supporters become. Eventually, his party launches a special project in the name of national security. At first it's believed to be a search for biological weapons... ...and it's pursued without regard to its cost. However, the true goal of this project is power. Complete and total hegemonic domination. The project, however, ends violently. But the efforts of those involved are not in vain... ...for a new ability to wage war is born from the blood of one of the victims. Imagine a virus, the most terrifying virus you can... ...and then imagine that you and you alone have the cure. But if your ultimate goal is power, how best to use such a weapon? Well, it's at this point in our story that along comes a spider. A man seemingly without a conscience... ...for whom the ends always justify the means. He suggests that their target should not be an enemy of the country... ...but rather, the country itself. Three targets are chosen to maximize the effect of the attack: A school, a tube station and a water-treatment plant. Several hundred die within the first few weeks. Three Waters has, in fact, been contaminated. Authorities are attempting to control its deadly spread. --sent destruction through the Underground. Fueled by the media, fear and panic spread quickly... ...fracturing and dividing the country until, at last... ...the true goal comes into view. Before the St. Mary's crises... ...no one would've predicted the results of the election that year. No one. And then not long after the election, lo and behold, a miracle. Some believed it was the work of God himself. But it was a pharmaceutical company controlled by certain party members... ...that made them all obscenely rich. A year later, several extremists are tried, found guilty and executed... ...while a memorial is built to canonize their victims. But the end result, the true genius of the plan, was the fear. Fear became the ultimate tool of this government. Through it, our politician was ultimately appointed... ...to the newly created position of high chancellor.

我们的故事开始了，就像这类故事常有的开头…… ……从一位年轻、崭露头角的政治家讲起。 他虔诚信教，是保守党的一员。 他一意孤行，完全不把政治程序放在眼里。 他掌的权越大，狂热就越是露骨…… ……他的支持者也变得越发激进。 最终，他的政党以国家安全的名义启动了一个特别项目。 起初人们以为那是在搜寻生化武器…… ……而且不计代价地推进。 然而，这个项目真正的目标是权力。 彻底而完全的霸权统治。 可这个项目最终以暴力收场。 但参与者的努力没有白费…… ……因为一种发动战争的新能力，从一名受害者的血里诞生了。 想象一种病毒，你能想到的最可怕的病毒…… ……再想象只有你一个人手里有解药。 但如果你的终极目标是权力，这件武器怎么用才最狠？ 嗯，就在故事的这个节点上，来了一只蜘蛛。 一个看起来毫无良知的人…… ……对他而言，只要目的达到，手段永远都算正当。 他提议，目标不该是这个国家的敌人…… ……而应该是这个国家本身。 为了把袭击效果放到最大，选定了三个目标： 一所学校、一座地铁站和一家自来水厂。 头几个星期就死了几百人。 事实上，“三水”水厂的水已经被污染了。 当局正试图控制它致命的蔓延。 ——向地铁系统送去了毁灭。 在媒体的煽动下，恐惧和恐慌迅速蔓延…… ……把整个国家撕扯、割裂，直到最后…… ……真正的目标浮出水面。 在圣玛丽危机之前…… ……没人能预料到那年的选举结果。没人。 然后选举刚过不久，你瞧，奇迹出现了。 有人相信那是上帝亲手所为。 但那是一家被某些党员控制的制药公司…… ……让他们全都富得不像话。 一年后，几名极端分子受审、定罪并被处决…… ……同时一座纪念碑立了起来，把遇难者奉为圣徒。 但最终的结果，这个计划真正的天才之处，是恐惧。 恐惧成了这个政府终极的工具。 靠着恐惧，我们的政客最终被任命…… ……出任新设立的最高议长一职。
