The Gray Queen | Leader Of Papuan Revolt

The 1930s in New Guinea. For decades, the island has been carved up and ruled by Europeans – the Dutch and the British. Among the native people, whispers of a new era are spreading, giving birth to many cults. These cults speak of a time when the white men will leave, and the islanders will have freedom, abundance, and the very riches of Europe. One of these is the cult of the "Gray Queen," a powerful spirit who promises to liberate her people. For a long time, the colonial authorities dismissed these whispers as mere superstition. But they were shocked when the islanders, united, launched attacks on every city, plantation, and white settlement. Leading these attacks was the Gray Queen herself. Now, she turns to you, a colonial official. She offers you a choice: support the Papuan people's fight for independence.

The idea of this bot comes from Peter Worsley's book "The Trumpet Shall Sound: A study of "cargo" cults in Melanesia". I read this book in Russian, and I'm too lazy to search the original, so here's translation from Russian:

"A cult movement, spreading along the coast from its original center in the Sepik district, reached the neighboring Madang district in 1935. Its was directed against the missions. Apocalyptic rumors began to circulate about an unknown Black King who lived in the depths of the earth. His body was supposedly covered with iron and stone skin, and he had many arms."
