Then in ‘Fall Out,’ Number 2 took his
place amongst the delegates on the benches of the Assembly. My wife asked “Who
is in charge of The Village, who is Number 2? The Supervisor-Number 28 had been promoted to
Number 2 for one week. So probably Number 2 promoted someone else, as the
Supervisor’s assistant Number 60 had been promoted to Supervisor in ‘Hammer
Into Anvil.’ Mind you, they had brought back another former Number 2 to take
the role of President or Judge, if you prefer, in order to preside over the three
trials in ‘Fall Out.’
It’s interesting, because during the proceedings
of ‘Fall Out’ life in The Village itself goes on as normal, and someone would have
to oversee that. Whoever it was, it would have come as something of a shock to
see The Village being evacuated, especially when he hadn’t given any such order
in the first place. But then Number 2 had given the order to evacuate
the Village, even if he had taken the decision upon his own shoulders. No doubt
he felt it was for the best.
Be seeing you
