fourth level; video (forward dated to after the campaign announcements start rolling in)

[ Merle's been to a lot of new worlds in the past hundred and change years. So he knows that part of adapting to a new world is to immerse yourself in its culture, provided it has one. Study the classics, as it were.

Which is why the scene in this video might look somewhat familiar to some music loving imPorts. (It's not in black and white, though, because Merle hasn't figured out how to do camera filters on his phone.) A lone dwarf stands in a decrepit Maurtia Falls alley, a homeless person who looks a lot like a rabbi standing in the background warming his hands over a barrel fire. (Merle may or may not have hired an actual rabbi for the role.) A folksy guitar riff is playing from somewhere offscreen. In the foreground, the dwarf holds up a stack of white signs each with one word hand written on them in dark permanent marker.

The first sign reads, I. He lets it fall, revealing the sign behind it.

This one reads, THINK. Like the sign before it, this too falls to the ground.

The next sign reads, DOGS.

The next, SHOULD.

Then, finally, VOTE.

He says nothing, letting the last sign linger before it, too, falls to the ground. Then he just sort of... stands there looking proud of himself before scurrying over to the camera to turn off the video. ]

[ amazing. Steve wonders if he came up with more problems, this guy would still have a way to go around them ]

But can dogs even understand human speech? How will they know if they are voting for the right guy?

Well, I guess all we can do is hope perhaps that a paw will rise in another city.

What's that, girl? [Peter holds Rootbeer up to his ear, cocking his head to the side as if listening before looking back to the lens.] My client wants to inquire as to whether your dogs are the type for playdates at the dog park.

You push buttons? To select who you're voting for? It's all electronic, these days.

Sure. But can they make an informed choice based on evidence? Or are they just going to hit the button they were trained to hit, because they're getting a fucking treat?
