Plot summary

After his defeat at the Battle of Waterloo and surrender to the British Empire, Napoleon Bonaparte is delivered into exile and imprisonment on St. Helena, setting the scene for a psychological character study of the fallen Emperor and those upon the island with him as he rakes over the ashes of his career. After a failed escape attempt, the British Government offers him a chance for a return to limited power in France once again as a buffer against instability there, however on the point of departure he is afflicted by the symptoms of stomach cancer and the offer is in consequence withdrawn, leaving him entrapped on the island and exiting history's stage.

Cast

gollark: It's possible to brute-force encryption in theory, but modern crypto makes this very impractical to do given constraints like the available size of the universe and stuff.
gollark: <@!692654568827387986> I'm pretty sure you're wrong about encryption here. You can't just magically decrypt stuff without the key. Encrypted data you don't have the key for is indistinguishable from random noise.
gollark: It still has calls to Google stuff in it, they're just visibly there.
gollark: Not really.
gollark: The only infinite scroll thing on my website is the infinite lorem ipsum page, as a joke which probably will eat all your RAM.
