Some footage of Cyberia Council guards. According to the journal, this is actually more of a blooper reel. The guy on the right farts very loudly before laughing with his fellow actor.
In the grand scheme of things, we’re not sure where to place the Cyberia Council. Although it saw a fair bit of visual development in the early days (which explains why it’s all nice and shiny), it didn’t have much of a narrative purpose, not helped by the fact that there are no playable characters attached to it.
What smidgeon we do know is that the CUINT fellas don’t like it, but those three wise men are about as much use as a Berkley horse made from fudge cake. We also know that Lord Garf seems to have some agreement with them, but it’s too vague to understand the finer points.
If we look at today’s government institutions, we will see numerous functions: law and order, regulating the markets, environmental protection, filling in pot holes, giving you parking fines when you were nowhere near over the line that one sad day in Grimsby town, having to listen to boring farts debating how utterly useless they were after Storm Bastard ripped up another coastal town… We could go on.
As we can all imagine, a cyberpunk council couldn’t care less about the above trivial matters. So what do they care about? The answer, according to the Give Me Head team, is being so shadowy that nobody truly knows what they do. Therefore it’s perfectly reasonable to presume that it’s operated by Satan himself and all the councillors worship his massive testicles.
We know from this chapter that Cassidy hated the idea of what he called “political drivel” featuring in the Cyberia Universe. However, we also know that he was hooked on nasal beers and didn’t have the foggiest idea what was going on with his project. When everyone realised this, they learned how best to ignore his input.
Regardless, the concept of a shadowy corrupt council in a cyberpunk city of the future was never sufficiently pursued. Like everything else they attempted to create, it was swiftly forgotten about as the days became increasingly anarchic and nobody dared to admit that they had absolutely no idea what they–or anyone else for that matter–were doing.
