CONSUL- THE CONSULATES

My clients name is ALBERTO, he is a Spanish speaking immigrant from a far off land, Sent by his king ANDRÉS, to take charge and form the new consulship. He lives a complex life full of negotiating, controlling, exploiting the inhabitants of this realm. His consulate is plainly designed to allow people in but separates them for easy of cataloguing and brainwashing, so that the kings sovereign may one day rule this space. The sovereign citizens are one of half machine, half human cyborgs, with limitless life force and no need for food or external stimuli.

Deciding to remain in the consulate erected by his home, Alberto works alone. unsure if he is in the space or just a part of it. The consulate has a fortress like aesthetic, it is strong enough to resist the most rigorous of bombardments, yet inviting to the naive people.
The people are extremely curious; living beneath the surface, they are of little real value to any one as a work force as they are only one metre high and a very thin build.
Their first reaction to Alberto was one of amazement as he stands five times there height. His, long ebony black hair and shinning blue/silver eyes shine in the dim light. All limbs are elongated to allow for grater reach and speed when working the machines in his isolate control room at the core of the consulate.
The people can see Alberto, yet they have no direct vision off him line of sight is only a thing used for the surface. A blurred dark space is all that remains as the people are ushered out the sides of the building following there daily control ritual.

Consul Alberto was sitting; he started to remember the old country. …Green hills… massive stone and steel clad cities… and the breeze off the ocean in the late afternoon.
He dislikes the dry, barren, sun bleached land from which he is living around; there is no night only day, yet day time is an illusion. He erected shades form the sunlight preventing it from entering his home. Once a week he closes the consulate entrance to allow his pet to fly free, after which he cleans and arranges the data collected during the last week’s brainwashing ritual. Time never passes.



It is switched on.
His life is a clockwork motion, as long as the pendulum swings so time will pass.
Time never began, and will never end,
Day or night.
Last or first,
Time is nothing,
Dead or alive,
life is nothing .. but a motion blur on a camera lenses neither useless nor wanted it is there and it will not go away. Sunlight will only fade as the days end.
Tick tick tick the clock will not die, the day will not stop, and my life is perpetual motion.
When was the clock switched on?
It is switched OFF.

CONSUL
in foreign service, a public officer who is commissioned by a state to reside in a foreign country for the purpose of fostering the commercial affairs of its citizens in that foreign country and performing such routine functions as issuing visas and renewing passports. A consul, as such, does not enjoy the status of a diplomat and cannot enter on his official duties until permission has been granted to him by the authorities of the state to which his nomination has been communicated. This permission, or exequatur, may be revoked at any time at the discretion of the government of the country in which he resides.
The modern office of consul is derived from that of certain magistrates in the cities of medieval Italy, Provence, and Languedoc charged with the settlement of trade disputes. With the growth of trade, it early became convenient to appoint agents with similar powers in foreign parts, and these often, though not invariably, were styled consuls.
It was not until the beginning of the 19th century that the system developed universally. The French system, under which the consular service had been long established as part of the general civil service, was gradually adopted by other nations.
Consular officials are generally ranked, in descending order of importance, as consul general, consul, vice consul, or honorary consul. Few countries can afford the cost of career officers at every consular post, and the corps of career officials is therefore supplemented by honorary officers, usually residents engaged in trade, who are citizens either of the country that nominates them or of that in which they reside.
Consuls do not enjoy diplomatic immunity but are to some extent exempt from the jurisdiction of the receiving state. The archives, for example, all other official documents and papers kept in a consulate, and all correspondence between the consul and his government are inviolable. Consuls are also often exempt from all kinds of rates and taxes and from personal taxes. The precise extent of such consular privileges is usually established in bilateral and multilateral agreements known as consular conventions. Many of these have been superseded by the Convention on Consular Relations (Vienna, 1963).
