The Admiral Henderson, currently commander of Independant Pltuo's fleet, goes on live TV to give a speech regarding the recent battle with pirates. He hurries to the podium, looking tired. The cameras start rolling.
"Yesterday, the conflict for the Kuiper Belt ended, or at least paused. After a fleet of pirates moved in on Sol with swarms of fighters and at least two capital ships, it took three nations to repulse them. The cost of the defense was high. 97 brave crewers of our fleet were killed. Most of the dead were the crew of the IPS-047, a Missile Boat. When they took a fatal hit, they didn't just roll over and die. They stayed with their ship and flew into the core of the enemy fleet and destroyed dozens of enemy ships in their final explosion." He paused to take a sip of water.
"With the help of our ally Lunatic Retard Robots, they seem to have retreated. We share great sadness with them, for they lost men and women too. Please bow your head in a moment of silence."
The crowd that was there bowed their heads, and so did many of those watching on television.
"This day has been declared a day of mourning. All jobs and schools are off today. Are there any questions?"
OOC: Have members of the crowd ask questions. I'lll reply when I get back on, which may be as late as tomorrow.
