On the eve of sending the resources needed to start a new life on Mars, Prime Minister Guthrie Gardner starts his day like any other: a shit and a shower. However, something is troubling him. At first, he tries to ignore it, but he’s haunted by the physical manifestation of his moral compass, The Being.

​

Initially, it appears inside the toilet as... well... a shit, protesting and demanding to be listened to. However, Guthrie is familiar with The Being, and has no time for its whining, flushing it away. It quickly reappears in his mouth, in the form of his Toothbrush challenging Guthrie’s choices as one of the world’s most powerful people. Guthrie protests, his prime-ministerial decisions are altruistic, in his own words, he ‘works hard’. But The Being knows better, and how to get under his skin. Every retort Guthrie throws, The Being has one better; angry, Guthrie snaps the toothbrush in half and bins it.

​

Now very eager to get ready for his big speech, Guthrie’s shower is unfortunately interrupted by a violent coughing fit, which causes him to spit a MASSIVE glob of bright green phlegm.

Guthrie cannot escape it, he must confront his conscience, and for a moment we think he might be swayed. The Phlegm is convincing, logical and concise, but Guthrie’s pride is much stronger, regrettably his maniacal, egotistical, and unabashed self, rises to the surface and The Being can’t bring him back now. Prime Minister Guthrie is unwilling to change, and he’s happy about it; after declaring himself a God, Guthrie flushes The Being away and readies himself for his big day. 

Although, we find out in the credits, it did not go to plan.
