The Fogs of Schuman…(part I)

By guest blogger The Charbonnier.

Brussels is certainly not known from its blue skies. However, I am sure that many of you already noticed how the surroundings of Round-point Schuman are often submerged by a sort of esoteric fog. 

Whether this is the fog of the ideas of the European project or just a peculiar meteorological phenomenon created by the boiling grey matters of the EU officials, this is still unknown. 

As a matter of fact, like in a mystery comics, in certain days, one can see emerging from the dark the shades of the EU drones. 

They are normally of three types, although careful observers are ready to swear that they are much more. In this first episode of “Fogs of Schuman”, we will be looking at the EC android official 1.0. 

This is an EC career robot. It is an old-type of electro-mechanic drone. It is constantly focused on processes and never on substance. Its obsolete software allows only a very slow processing of information solely aiming at achieving prestigious posts. Nonetheless, due to the same old electronic, this common humanoid is incapable to define what “prestigious” means and why these posts are so badly wanted. 

For this very reason, you can see them roaming around Schuman area normally walking fast, carrying their smart phones toward unknown destinations. If you succeed to stop their run and ask where are they going, the answer will always be: “To the Cabinet”.
