"Dissent"

Inside the Oracle's Wisdom House, when the protest have finally reached its worst.. the Six have decided to opened a video conference from their own Quarters.
Yahkayef: "So, we have a sudden, late-night protest. And somehow their chant is 'Tell us the truth', and they had the audacity to call that the Second Coming is false."
Fruma: "Preposterous! Who could have thought of such thing? Didn't the people feast all day for the resurrection? Who did this? Is it an underground opposition that we are facing right now?"
Aveyan: "That we do not know yet. But isn't it better for us to actually talk to them so that we can clear up whatever this mess is? We could've asked the Great Seer himself to talk to the protesters."
Yahkayef: "Right now, the Great Seer is busy with another pressing matters at hand. And also, sending Him would be dangerous, as people thought that the one we have is an impostor would definitely attack Him. We cannot risk that. Hmm.. But this cannot be mere coincidence... First of all, the protest started at late night instead of during daylight. Mere decentralized mobs surely won't move in such details. And they are quite prepared with posts and other resources. I also heard that dissents are exploding even outside the capital."
Hevya: "That means that someone is pulling the string from behind. And it could be someone quite powerful."
Aveyan: "Can't we just like.. talk to them instead of blabbering in here putting deaf ears to the people? You know what? I'm done with this. I'm going to talk to the protestors." *Aveyan's screen deactivates*
Yahkayef: "Hmm.. well then, let's continue on.."
While the other from the Six continued their debate. Aveyan suddenly exited the Wisdom House with bodyguards and began communication with the people
Aveyan: "I am now here. Now, tell me what have been bothering you.."
Protesters: "How dare you faked our Great Seer's Resurrection!" "You sick politician!" "Have you no shame?"
Aveyan: "Where did you receive such misinformation from? Who told you about such heresy?"
One of the protestor's figurehead, Gelyun, finally approached Aveyan directly in front of him
Gelyun: "An anonymous account have shared a video, that the resurrection footage is staged, look at this, Master Aveyan."
Gelyun then showed a video on his phone of a place that seems to be a studio, with props that is similiar to the tomb is being prepared
Aveyan: "Oh my, that couldn't possibly be true.. Renah.. what are you--"
A shot was heard, a sniper have attempted to shoot Aveyan, but intercepted by one of the bodyguard. Aveyan and the bodyguards quickly re entered the Wisdom House and the protestors went back into their post out of fear
