The Big Three are constantly moving the pieces of poltics in Savanah State, and mainatin emmense influence over the party. During the Akale Crisis. they created various plans and worked behind the scenes; they worked to have Peter Akale's treatment delayed after his fatal accidnet through tehir connections to Friday Bello, while simultaeneously tried to prevent the governorship of Angela Ochello.

## Akale Crisis

> I am not convinced he is getting the best possible care here.

> Dr. Jalo, on Peter Akale in the hospital

The memebrs of the Big Three were some of the first to be notified of the accdient involving Governor Peter Akale, and all members rushed to the hospital. Much was at stake, such as the Chinese Deal, and no member risked the possibility of negleance amonst themselves. Upon seeing his conditon, they asuumed he would recover. Dr. Jalo belived flying Peter out would give him a greater chance at survival, but Chief Thompson claimed the care was some of the best in the country, and there was no need to worry. Henry Duke, Akale's Chief of Staff was given instructions by the The Big Three to lot anyone see Akale without their approval. They also emphasized any leak would be unaccepatble. Henry reminded the men that Angela Ochello was Acting Govenor, as per the State Constitution.

### Secret meetings

Later the next day, the Big Three visited Akale again in the hospital, and kept Angela waiting for atleast an hour. They returned to Thompson's house later in the day, where they heard the complaints of Friday Bello. He said Angela Ochello was dsirupting teh staus quo of bsuiness with the state goevrnemnt, and was acsuing trouble for him in teh cabinet. The group itnially dismiseed the worries, until Dr. Jalo proposed the idea of an Ochello Adminsitration. Briggs semed to habour little concern, and said Akle will eventually return. and Angela will resume her previosu role. As a compromise, and to ensure his plans were sucsessful, Thompson proposed having Angela resign in the case of Akale's death. Later that night, he called her, and invited her to his home to discuss her poltical future. After some dodging, Thompson and Briggs were blunt, and said Angela Ochello must reisgn to protect the paty's greater intrest. Thinking victoriously, teh Big Three took an intenral sigh of relief as Ochello left without complaint.

### Death of Peter Akale

That night, Thompson called Friday to tell him the good news, to which the Finance Commsioner praised him for his leadership. Later Friday approached the Big Three with news from Musa, Akale's CSO, that Henry and Magdalen had made arrangemnets to have Peter flown out that night. Briigs, who originally dismissed any fear, was reminded by Sr. Jalo of the last time a First Lady held the state for ransom in a siilar situation. Not wanting to repeat history, Jalo requested immedate action to delay and evtually take ocntrol of the flight. Despite this plan and the pieces that had been laid out, Akale suddenly experienced a seizure shortly after Musa returned. Thompson announced Peter Akale’s death not long after; the men celebrated his memory, and appointed Friday Bello as their Governor in waiting.

At the hospital the next day, Musa informed the Bug Three that Magdalen was under observation and sedated. They requested he keep the news tight lipped for the time being, and reminded him of the consequences if he were to fail. Chief Thompson remarked, “Everything is under control. We will have to delay the announcement of Peter’s death until after Angela resigns.” Briggs wanted it to speed up, and Jalo warned Thompson the secret can’t be kept for long; Thompson assured the men that Angela will bring the letter that morning, and resign 2pm that day at a press conference “In severe hours, Savannah State will be ours.“And so will the Chinese Deal.”

### She din't resign Friday, she screwed us all!

Later in the day at the Thompson House, Thompson got a call from servant near the entrance that Angela had arrived. Once Friday departed, Briggs and Jalo seemed excited, Thompson. Angela arruved in and they greeted her with good morning. She gave Thompson the paper and insisted he reads it After looking into the paper he became furious, demanding to know, “What is the meaning of this?” She leaves, and the whole party is shocked. Briggs stutters, and Jalo is bewildered, and he tells Friday that She reneged on the agreement! “She didn’t resign, Friday. She screwed us all!” Friday ordered Musa to get Magdalen off her sedative, and to leak the news to the press that Peter has died. Later in the day, The Big Three could only watch as Angela usurped their plans on live television.

Later that day, Gbenga met with the Big Three, as the tradition of meeting with other members of the party in the state amidst the dawn of a new administration. Jalo insisted that Angela Reneged an oral agreement to step down. Both Thompson and Gbenga scored points referencing the natural legal proceedings for this event. They demanded ironclad assurances that would Angela not contest in the next election, which would take place in 3 years time. They also demanded Friday Bello as her deputy once she assumed office. Gbenga could only laugh at the notion, and promptly left promising to deliver their request. “If she refuses, we will make this the briefest administration that this state has ever seen.”

## Ochello Administration

At Chief Thompson’s house, Dr. Jalo asked about the Chinese Deal, and suggesting they force the issue to the admin, and move with more action. The men were insulted when they were asked to come to the Governor's Office to discuss Angela Ochello’s Deputy Governor. Although Gbenga tried to to calm them, they reissted, and found the terms nearly unacceptable. After a political sparse, Angela said she would review a shortlist, and consider a candidate.
