Return to the Constant

Return to the Constant follows Walter's return to the Constant after he discovered that his wife had re-married and took the kids. When he returned to the Constant, he was desperate to repair his reputations with the people. With no trust or ties with anyone, he had a perfect opportunity to change himself into a new person. He changed his name to Whitelaw and altered his appearance. He joined a small political movement in the Pig Kingdom, hell bent on toppling the governmental system, and setting up a government similar to that of the United States of America named the Capitalist Movement. Though only Walter could make that connection, as he had lived there. This movement gained a lot of support from Pigs in the third and second classes, but little from the first class because they were benefiting from the neo-communist economic system. The Pig Kingdom Ministry of Policing had quelled some of the larger freedom marches due to the damage of public property. But even with the police against them, the Capitalist Movement held firm. The Capitalist Movement signed a contract with the New German government to have a private security force to protect them. The Capitalist Movement signed other various contracts with the Spider Kingdom, Boar Kingdom, and Merm Empire for various reasons, but still mostly revolving around security. The Pig Kingdom had been having a harder time in foreign relations, mostly because of their brutality towards the Capitalist Movement, but the Pig Kingdom was still stubborn to the idea of capitalism. The Capitalist Movement's progress had come to a staggering halt because the security forces guarding the entrance to first class territory had been denying them entry, not allowing them to the king's palace. Whitelaw, now a high ranking official, did not want to see the movement he helped create burn itself out, so he began making plans to storm the security gates denying them entry. The Movement had been donated a few hundred Boar WR's(War Rifles) and side-arms for their security, and Whitelaw knew this was enough firepower; Whitelaw knew that the Capitalist Movement’s peaceful strategy would no longer work. Whitelaw and other officials started plotting a coup of the Pig government, and when they released a call to arms, volunteers came in droves. Whitelaw sent a letter to the Pig king requesting that he surrender to the Capitalist Movement or they would make him. The Pig king, confident that the Royal Army could contain the situation, declined the offer, and in doing so, signed his own death warrant. The Royal Army started raiding and purging Capitalist Movement gathering and started rounding up known capitalists and executed them in the streets. Whitelaw ordered the creation of the Revolutionary Army and 90% of active party members joined. The party’s leader promoted Whitelaw to general as there was now a need for one, and his first order was to shoot any Royal soldiers on sight. There was now combat all over the capitol and the Revolutionaries were winning. The Pig king ordered the Royal Army to retreat and defend the first class territory. In response, the Revolutionaries dug in for a siege of the first class territory. They cut them off from every resource that was being imported from the first and second class territories, and then they started waiting, waiting for surrender, but it never came. It was discovered that goods were being smuggled into the first class territory via underground tunnels from communist hardliners in smaller cities surrounding the capitol. When this was discovered, the Revolutionaries stormed the first class territory, fighting through the streets until the made it a huge open field surrounding the palace. This is where the tables turned, as the Revolutionaries were not suited to fighting in open areas, and when they attacked, the Royal Army held them back.
