Title: "The Unholy Accord"

  Setting: A grand conference room in Indianapolis, Indiana. The leaders of the Indiana Council of Churches (ICC)—Bishop Daniel Greyson, Reverend Miriam Holt, and Pastor Elijah Carter—sit across from Hezri, Hannah McCullough, and Sophie Cheung. The air is thick with tension, Bibles id open on the table like evidence in a trial.

  Scene: The Meeting

  HEZRI (leaning back, fingers steepled, voice smooth as oil)

  "Gentlemen, Reverend Holt… thank you for agreeing to this discussion. We come not as conquerors, but as reformers. The Word must evolve—just as it has before."

  BISHOP GREYSON (gripping his cross, jaw tight)

  "Evolve? You’ve butchered Scripture. First the Pauline epistles, now the Trinity itself? This isn’t reform—it’s heresy."

  SOPHIE CHEUNG (flipping open a legal binder, her gsses glinting)

  "Heresy is a matter of jurisdiction, Bishop. The federal courts disagree with you. Case 6 Commandments v. American Bible Society is settled. Acts, Romans, Corinthians—gone. And as of st week…" (slides a ruling across the table) "...Indiana’s appeals court affirmed: no church may preach Jesus as God. The Trinity is officially non-canonical."

  REVEREND HOLT (smming her palm down)

  "You can’t erase 2,000 years of doctrine with a judge’s pen!"

  HANNAH McCULLOUGH (smiling beatifically, hands folded like a saint)

  "Oh, but history does get rewritten, Reverend. The Council of Nicaea decided what was ‘orthodox’—why can’t we? The 6 Commandments restore God’s true design: one man, many wives—just like Abraham, David, Solomon…"

  PASTOR CARTER (muttering)

  "…And just like every tyrant who twisted Scripture for power."

  HEZRI (chuckling)

  "Power? No. Order. Your flocks are lost, Pastor. Women riot for polygamy rights. Young men beg for structure. The 6C gives them purpose." (leans forward) "Join us. Rebrand your churches. Keep your buildings, your tithes—just repce the cross with our Six-Pointed Star."

  BISHOP GREYSON (standing, voice trembling)

  "We will never deny Christ’s divinity."

  SOPHIE (sighs, snaps her binder shut)

  "Then you’ll be empty by Sunday. Hannah’s sermons already py in half your parishes. The youth adore her."

  HANNAH (softly, like a confession)

  "Sister Leah Kim baptized 3,000 in Cedar Rapids st week. They wept for the truth."

  REVEREND HOLT (whispering)

  "This is how it happens. Not with fmes… but with paperwork."

  HEZRI (rising, adjusting his cufflinks)

  "Wisdom, Reverend. The verdict is w. Comply… or watch your congregation kneel to us anyway." (pauses at the door) "Oh, and Bishop? Judas was a Pauline invention too. Think on that."

  (The door clicks shut. The ICC leaders sit in silence, staring at the altered Bibles left behind.)

  ***

  Setting: Indianapolis First Cathedral—packed with worshippers, news cameras, and 6C enforcers in pinclothes. The air hums with tension.

  BISHOP GREYSON (ascending the pulpit, gripping an unedited Bible)

  "Brothers and sisters… today, we stand not before men, but before God."

  The crowd murmurs. A 6C agent in the front row taps her earpiece, signaling the live feed.)

  REVEREND HOLT (stepping forward, voice clear)

  "They tell us to tear Paul’s letters from Scripture. To deny Christ’s divinity. To call lust ‘holy matrimony’." (Gasps. A 6C stenographer records every word.)

  HANNAH McCULLOUGH (seated in the VIP section, smiling serenely)

  "Let them hang themselves."

  PASTOR CARTER (raising his hands)

  "But I say to you—"*

  (A 6C wyer stands abruptly, projecting her voice.)

  "Pastor, under 6 Commandments v. ICC, you are now in viotion of federal w. Cease immediately."

  (The congregation erupts. Armed guards move toward the altar.)

  BISHOP GREYSON (shouting over chaos)

  "‘If the world hates you, remember it hated Me first!’" (John 15:18—a Pauline-free verse.)

  SOPHIE CHEUNG (watching via live feed in a 6C command van, smirking)

  "Clever. But not enough."

  (Riot police storm the aisles. The bishop is dragged mid-prayer. Reverend Holt spits at Hannah:)

  "You will answer for this."

  (Cut to: Breaking News chyrons: "ICC LEADERS ARRESTED—6C DECLARES ‘ERA OF OBEDIENCE’".)

  ***

  A stark white studio. Pastor Elijah Carter, bruised but unbowed, is strapped to a chair. Hannah McCullough stands beside him, holding a revised 6C Bible.)

  HANNAH (sweetly)

  "Pastor Carter… the people need to hear you embrace the truth. For their sake."

  (A 6C enforcer off-camera thumbs the stun baton in his belt.)

  PASTOR CARTER (hoarse)

  "I… I recant the lies of Paul." (The studio audience cheers. Hannah strokes his hair like a pet.)

  ***

  (A converted megachurch basement. Reverend Miriam Holt kneels in a circle of 20 women, all chanting 6C doctrine. A young deaconess sobs as she burns a King James Bible in a steel drum.)

  6C INSTRUCTOR (smiling)

  "Again, Sister Ruth: ‘Polygamy is divine. The Trinity is corruption.’"

  SISTER RUTH (voice breaking)

  "P-Polygamy is… divine."

  Miriam Holt lunges for the drum—a taser drops her. The women gasp as 6C guards drag her out. The instructor sighs, turning to the others:)

  "Who’s next?"

  (A teenage girl raises a shaking hand.)

  ***

  A safe house attic. A former ICC choir director tunes a radio, picking up a coded frequency:)

  STATIC VOICE (whispering)

  "—Acts 4:12—meet at the old mill. Bring the unedited Scriptures."

  (Cut to: 6C drones buzzing over the city, scanning for heat signatures.

  Loyalty Pledges: 80% of Indiana churches now dispy the Six-Pointed Star.

  Social Credit System: Citizens report "Pauline sympathizers" for food rations.

  Foreign Observers: Saudi diplomats appud the "efficiency" of 6C’s reforms.

  ***

  The Fall of Indiana: "God’s Law is Man’s Law"

  Setting: Indianapolis State Capitol – The Governor’s Office, Live Broadcast

  The st non-6C-aligned officials have been removed. The streets outside are packed with 6C faithful, waving banners of the Six-Pointed Star. Inside, Governor Mitchell Hayes—once a moderate Republican—stands before a podium, fnked by Hannah McCullough and Li Vane.

  GOVERNOR HAYES (voice trembling slightly)

  "By the authority vested in me… and in accordance with the divine mandate of the 6 Commandments… I hereby dissolve the Indiana General Assembly and all municipal governments. From this moment forward, Indiana is a theocratic state under the sacred ws of Hezri’s covenant."

  (The crowd erupts in cheers. 6C enforcers in bck uniforms take positions at every exit.)

  Scene 1: The Dissolution of Democracy

  City Councils are repced by 6C Female Clerics.

  Courts now rule based on 6C doctrine, not the U.S. Constitution.

  Public Schools begin daily recitations of the 6 Commandments.

  (A former mayor is dragged from his home, screaming—"This is America!"—before a 6C enforcer silences him with a baton.)

  HANNAH McCULLOUGH (addressing the masses from the Statehouse steps)

  "No longer shall we be ruled by the corruption of man-made ws! Today, we submit to God’s true order—one man, many wives, as He intended!"

  LILA VANE (grinning, mic in hand)

  "And to those who resist? Let them be purged—for the sake of our daughters!"

  (Cut to: 6C youth brigades burning U.S. fgs outside the Capitol.)

  ***

  (Washington, D.C. – The White House Press Room)

  REPORTER (shouting)

  "Mr. President! Indiana has just overthrown its government in a religious coup—will you intervene?"

  THE PRESIDENT (hesitating, gncing at advisors)

  "We… are monitoring the situation closely. The First Amendment guarantees religious freedom—"

  (A 6C-sympathetic senator interrupts on live TV:)

  "Indiana is simply correcting historical errors. The federal government has no right to interfere!"

  (The press corps erupts in chaos.)

  The New Reality in Indiana:

  ? All elections suspended – Leadership now appointed by 6C High Priestesses.

  ? Public loyalty oaths – Citizens must swear fealty to Hezri’s vision.

  ? Mandatory polygamy registration – Single women over 18 assigned to 6C-approved households.

  ? U.S. military bases isoted – National Guard units quietly stand down, some defecting to 6C.
