Crime and Punishment: Mind of the Man Extraordinary
After murdering Alyona Ivanovna and her sister Lizaveta Ivanovna, Rodion Raskolnikov is faced with an immense dilemma.

Inspired by Fyodor Dostoevsky's novel; Crime and Punishment. This committee doesn’t actually follow the novel. It takes place right after the murders and the rest is up to you.
Now delegates, you must tell me what you think, because you have just murdered two people and your fate is ultimately yours. Are you the man extraordinary?

Conceptual Crisis
The Second Space Race: The Asteroid Belt
For millenia, humanity has sought infinite and exponential growth, conquering land, inventing new technologies, but most importantly discovering new resources. As the population has grown and the demands of technology have vastly increased, one resource has become more significant than ever before, metals. At the dawn of the 22nd century, the year 2100, driven by the potential of the Asteroid Belt, the race for resources has reached a breaking point.
The Asteroid Belt contains magnitudes more metals than could ever be mined on Earth. Countries and companies alike are now racing to take control of as many of these resources as possible. Regional wars have already broken out for Earth’s last remaining resources, and a full interplanetary war may be on the horizon.
Delegates of this committee, both countries and companies, must work to both prevent a catastrophic war from ensuing, while protecting their own self interests to take control of all the resources they can. If properly managed, the Asteroid Belt may launch humanity into its next industrial revolution, but if not, humanity will surely face extinction.
