The Idea Factory - Not So Innocent Bystanders

Not So Innocent Bystanders

In the future, a political movement is trying to take control, killing people who get in their way or know too much.

Drama plays out on the listening station as rising factions choose sides, but the strong hand of the captain (main character?) keeps things calm.
