Arpia, RP--
At approximately 2pm today a pair of fanatics crashed a press conference being held by Queen Firefury Amahira and Secretary of Foreign Affairs Tsume Dragonis.

*footage from the attack comes up: The scene is the press room of the imperial palace. The Queen is at the podium in her formal armor, and the imposing figure of the black and purple mechanical dragon Tsume stands next to her*

"-And with the overall improvement to the national economy, more funding can be devoted to-" The Queen is in the middle of saying when a ruckus interrupts her.

"Damnation! All of you! Letting a nation be run by demons!" The camera pans to show a pair of unshaven men clad in black and wearing crosses. One of the pair points accusingly at the Queen. "There is no way a machine can run a country! It is the work of the evil one himself!"

The camera shifts focus back to the two reploids at the podium. The Queen has her arms crossed and a scowl plastered on her face. Tsume just looks mildly annoyed. The crowd of reporters parts for the two, and the Queen waves the security guards off.

"Good Goddess, what sort of nutcases are you two?" The orange-clad reploid hops down from the stage. "Demons, huh? Whatcha gonna do about it?"

"We will banish the demons!" The shorter man raves, striding forward, holding up his cross and murmuring something under his breath.

Tsume also climbs down to stand next to the Queen, a slightly smug look on his face. "Go ahead and try. We're waiting."

Both the men march right up to the two reploids, holding their crosses up and chanting. This goes on for several minutes with no results, aside from the Queen getting a very smug look on her face.

*scene cuts back to the newsroom*

The two attackers were easily restrained and taken away. According to information that has been released, the two men are not Arpean citizens, and are refusing to say where they came from. No identification was found on either of the suspects, and at last report, they aren't talking.

We'll have more on this... attack... when the information becomes available.

Arpia, RP--
Two suspects are still being held, now at an undisclosed location, following a botched attack on Queen Firefury Amahira and Secretary of Foregin Affairs Tsume Dragonis. The two man alleged that reploids are demonic in nature, and attempted to banish the 'demons', with predictably, no results.

As of our last report, the two men, both appearing to be roughly between 30 and 40 years of age, had refused to answer to interrogation by Shogunate officials. At this time, no foreign nation or terrorist/religious organization has claimed the attack, quite probably due to the gigantic embarassment such a stunt's total and utter failure must bring.

After the two intruders were hauled off, the Queen resumed her press conference, stating that she was "not amused by whatever cult seems to have the concept lodged in their thick skulls that sentient machines are unholy".

The two men will most likely be tried for two counts of attempted assault on a government official, and at least one count of disturbing the peace.

We will have more information as it becomes available.

No passion so effectually robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear.

We are glad that your queen was not harmed in this incident, these individuals must be fearful of those different from themselves. As such we hope you can find out what you seek.

Our thanks for the concern, Ambassador Purrlinda. We are trying to find out what organization, if any, is behind the attempted attack (if it can even be called such), to no avail at this time.

Thankfully, most Arpean reploids were built for combat and quite capable of handling themselves- myself and the Queen included.

Do you wish to hand them over to us? We can be quite... persuasive at finding things out.

Our thanks to the governments of Celeborne and Roania. At the moment, this appears to be an isolated act by a pair of madmen. Our own interrogation officers should be able to handle things. Should we require aid however, we will gladly accept.

Arpia, RP--
Three days after the botched religious attack on Queen Firefury Amahira and Secretary of Foreign Affairs Tsume Dragonis, a group calling themselves "Mankind Against Nonhumans" has claimed the attack. There has been no further word about other potential M.A.N. targets, however all non-homo-sapien sentiences are advised to be on the alert in the event that this organization steps up their efforts.

Oh this is very bad news....it's people like these who give those poor humans a bad name. Well I do hope they stay out of our forests, they are quite dangerous to non-natives without guides.

People like that give cultists a bad name. Should you need any assistance, we would be more than willing to provide it.

Thank you all for your offers of support and other commentary. As soon as our intelligence agency has more information on M.A.N., we will be certain to release it to our fellow governments.

I am most unhappy at the implications of this group. The solitary 'attack' was laughable, but if it is an indicator of something more dire, then the time for laughing has past.

I find no record of M.A.N. in our data, but it may be a new splinter group or a reformulation of any of a number of militant humanocentrists. I wouldn't assume they're a new presence, yet.

Nekoa Bay, RP--

Police raided an apartment complex in downtown Nekoa Bay earlier today, following an annonymous tip given by what investigators suspect was a M.A.N. operative. The search turned up no new suspects, but police made a gruesome discovery. Stored in a number of freezers in the otherwise empty apartment were the badly mutilated bodies of more than 10 Nekoites. Initial examinations indicate the victims were shot several times in the head and chest, while others appear to have been hung by their tails and ankles and starved to death. Some of the victims were skinned and badly butchered, leading investigators to think that whoever killed them intended to butcher the dead catpeople like one would butcher a cow, or a pig.

Police have interrogated the owner of the complex for information about whoever was renting the unit. As of this update, the authorites are looking for a man of Asian descent, roughly 30 years of age, with short black hair, last seen leaving the apartment over one week ago, wearing black jeans and a black and maroon sweatshirt. A reward of 10,000 г¥ has been offered for any information that leads to the arrest of the suspect.

"We hope you will catch this horrible person soon, as a result of this information we have now officially banned the M.A.N. cult from our nation. Any human found within our boarders who is proven beyond doubt to be a M.A.N. cultist will be subjected to an official Hunt which always ends with the hunted death."

The Hack was going to ban the M.A.N. cult from within its borders, but discovered that there appeared to be no members left inside. Apparently they were all used as sacrifices for a different cult. An official press release from the conquering cult said they felt that such actions were "poetic and slightly ironic".

However, the Hack maintains its support for The Immortal Shogunate of Reploid Productions, they merely need ask.

Attacks and attempted attacks by M.A.N. have been on the rise since the group's first failed attack on myself and the Queen. Our data presently pegs the victims count at about 40 non-humans, including native Nekoite catpeople, reploids, and at least two elves.

The two men we captured after the first attack are showing remarkable resolve and have maintained their silence despite our own thorough interrogation procedures.

We have kept it quiet and away from the press, but a group of five men attempted to abduct Queen Firefury while she was driving back to the palace one evening. Thankfully the men were woefully underprepared for Firefury-sama's full fury, as she proceeded, and I quote her, "to beat the everloving crap out of those hidebound, redneck, braindead neanderthals". Unfortunately, none of her attackers survived long enough to face interrogation.

Our intelligence would indicate that M.A.N. may be operating from well beyond our borders, and may have any number of sleeper cells hidden within our borders and without.

So, we are asking our allies and fellow nations that have any non-human population to be the alert, and to share any information you might turn up on these human supremisists.

How sad it is to see that violence still reigns supreme in many nations, but one day everyone will outgrow the need to cause hurt to others and peace shall rule. Taligari shall be the quiet and elegant example for all to follow, not by using force to make others conform, but by showing them how a pacifist nation can succeed in the world and exist free.

It has been recently brought to my attention that the group "Mankind Against Nonhumans" has spread itself into our nation and set up shop.

There was recently a string of murders in a city along the border between our two nations involving reploids from our nation, two local human residents of the city, and Nekoites from your nation. Investigators believe the Nekoites were kidnapped from the other side of the border and brought over when M.A.N. set up shop. The humans killed appeared to have been witnesses to the some of the initial murders of the non-humans however.

With the borders between our nations being quite open and somewhat loosely guarded, we've upped the security a bit to try and get these guys before they get in. The public has been put on alert and all non-humans have been asked to be cautious when out in public.

We have investigators working around the clock to find any and all M.A.N. cells operating within our borders. Should we capture any members, you are more than welcome to send your own people over to interrogate them along with our own investigators.

New Pegasii City, RP-AQ--

A group of suspected M.A.N. operatives opened fire today at a popular non-human hangout, breaking up the Peace Among Sentients rally that was going on there this afternoon. Ten men, disguised as rally attendees, opened fire on the crowd, which consisted largely of reploids, Nekoites, and a good portion of the Shogunate's elvish population. A near-riot broke out as reploids in the crowd attempted to subdue the attackers themselves, only to be countered by explosive devices the men detonated.

Only one of the operatives survived, and is currently in custody after the explosives strapped to his body failed to detonate. The casualties are horrendous, with some 80 people confirmed dead, and at least 100 others injured. Approximately 450 people are presently unaccounted for at this time. The numbers are expected to rise as rescue workers sort through the rubble of 'Ytormic's Bar 'n Grill', a popular fast food place on the bottom floor of the ALTIMIT Systems regional headquarters. Engineers say that the tower is structurally unstable from the blast, but not in immediate danger of total collapse.

All nearby buildings have been evacuated, and Civil Defense troops have been deployed to New Pegasii City to secure the situation. Official word from Shogunate officials is that the Queen will be holding a press conferance on the situation shortly. When she does, you can be sure we'll cut from our broadcast to the Imperial Palace.

We're about to cut to the Queen's press conferance in Arpia, with an update on the situation.

*footage cuts to the press room of the Imperial Palace, where a very angry Firefury is standing at the podium, with an equally ticked Tsume beside her*

"Today, a horrible tragedy has struck us all. Homo Sapien supremesists have taken many lives, elvish, Nekoite, reploid, and human, that cannot be restored. These people... no, these monsters have gone too far, claiming justice. Where is the justice in senseless slaughter?

At this time, we are devoting an even greater number of our resources toward rooting out 'Mankind Against Nonhumans', and showing them the justice they've earned. I would like to call on the international community to assist, especially since there were a number of victims at the 'Peace Among Sentients' rally who were visiting the Shogunate, but are citizens elsewhere.

I will not rest until these cretins are found and dealt with accordingly! Our fair nation has stood tall and repelled the Irregular menace- reploids who were all for the extermination of organic sentience- and we shall stand tall against these organic Irregulars, who are but the flip side of the same coin."

*scene cuts back to the reports at the scene of the attack*

There you have it. The numbers have been revised and currently stand at over 100 dead, 200 injured, and 500 people presently known to be missing. As more information becomes available, we'll be the first to bring it to the public.

"We must express our horror at this latest atrocity commited by theses terrorists, we hope you will find and close down this organisation. Further more our prayers go out to the families of those who have lost love ones to this mindless act of hate."

~Secure Channel to Reploid Productions from Slagkattunger~
"We have reason to believe that these terrorist are being funded by a nation or nations, in an attempt to destablise non-human nations. We have not found out which nation or nations are involved but we suspect that they are nations ruled by religeon either directly or indirectly.

The main evidence for this is the organised manner of these sensless attacks, while they may have started unorgainised they have become more military in operation. Take the lattest attacks in your nation, they are the behaveour of religeous fanatics and not that of a hate group like the human's KKK or Nazi party."
