*Late evening. Several men in military uniforms gather in a small dark room. One of them lights a lamp and places it in the middle of a small round table.*

A man in green officer uniform lays out several documents with various names written on them.

Man in rreen: "Here's the list of the people who would support the removal of the bastilliards from power. Decembrists, Soviets, Modernists and even Humanists would support us in an event of the coup. Not all of them though, but a significant majority. However, the leaders of the parties weren't informed of the secret surveys - we fear they could rat us out to the smoking pipe gentlemen."

Man in red: "The fear of government imposing stricter limitations on the freedom of action in the army gives us a moral advantage when securing the support of the soldiers. I can promise at the very least the loyalty of several thousand soldiers in the capital alone."

Man in grey: "But that's where the problems begin, comrades. We may be generals of the army, but we can't control the government decreasing the capital garnisons."

Man in red: "Our other problem is that the Supreme Marshall is yet to have agreed to participate in the coup - if he sides with the government, the whole thing is doomed to fail."

Woman in orange: "The Supreme Marshall will have no choice but to side with us - his power an influence is backed by the army as much as the army's power and influence is backed by his leadership."

Woman in brown: "So he'll join us eventually. Now then, as for the aspect of foreign support - I heard that U-V would be ready to assist us once the operation commences. However, I fear the possibility of a foreign intervention to support Matvey's regime."

Man in green: "That will be taken care of. We'll have all communications jammed for the duration of the coup."

Man in grey: "So all that's left for us right now is to secure the Supreme Marshall's support and pull the forces towards the federal centers, have I that right?"

Woman in brown: "I'd say yes. Now then..."

*The woman in brown points at the man in red*

Woman in brown: "General James, you and I will go and concince the Supreme Marshall to join us. We'll do it at any cost, even if it will require some... agressive persuasion methods. Follow me."

*The woman in brown and man in red take out guns and head to the Marshall's office, while the rest of the people head back to their military bases.*
