Discussion Starters - I'd love to hear your thoughts:

* Colonel Chen's Choice: At what point does following orders become morally impossible? Who decides when an order is unlawful?

* Institutional Loyalty vs. Principled Resistance: How do we balance duty to institutions with duty to principles when they conflict?

* Current Events Parallel: Does this fictional scenario feel plausible?

* Systems Perspective: If you had to "debug" our constitutional system, where would you start?

Drop your thoughts below - this conversation is as important as the story itself.

Every Tuesday and Friday for the next 5 weeks there will be a new chapter on the free side. And next week I'll put the whole thing up in draft form for a paid subscribers. And if you want to be a beta reader, contact me and I can get you the draft document.

This scenario seems plausible. Great writing!

I would say -- eerily, frighteningly, tragically -- plausible. But once it invaded my head I had to write the story.
