ENN Logo flashes while a Loud Booming Voice says, "Reporting live is Brian Logan from Fyreheart, with the Horrible Discovery of a Mass Grave."

A very young report appears designed in combat fatigues and wearing a UN Blue combat helmet with the word, "Press" on it. Behind him, is a dirty looking hill flanked by a tangled twisted forest. A forest that seems to seep the dark mood in the air.

The reporter starts in solemn tones. "Late last night Drakonian scouts patrols, of the 1st Expeditionary Legion, made a discovery they had desperately hoped they would not find. The Drakonian patrols had been acting on local civilian intelligence hunting for the reported Mass Graves of Hurst's regime. Unfortunately, at a place they named Skullcap, they found them.

"Eyewitnesses stated it coldly. 'There were ten graves, eight that had been covered over recently and two that had not. Of the two uncovered graves, one was empty and the other it appeared they had started to cover, but had abandoned as the thunderstorms came in. We found anywhere from one hundred to one hundred and fifty bodies in each. Most having been gunned down and dropped in these hell holes.' Chilling words."

"The finding of such horrendous sights was anticipated and immediately forensic teams and local police, which are cooperating with the rebellion and Pro-Emirate forces, were called in. Those mentioned groups are now attempting to identify the victims of Hurst's brutality. Not every corpse will be identified, but all will be given the proper burial they are entitled.

"This has only strengthened the resolve of the Drakonian forces in region and the 1st Expeditionary Legion almost immediately have struck out against the nearby Hurst Loyalists Detention Center where the corpses in the Mass Graves are most likely to have originated. The commander of the 1st Expeditionary Legion, General Richard Lippert, stated icely, 'This atrocity will not go unpunished. We're to hunt down the criminal Hurst, for his crimes against humanity, and that's what we're going to do.'"

"This is Brian Logan, reporting live from Fyreheart."

The screen again changes to the ENN Logo and the Loud Booming Voice is heard again saying, "This has been an ENN News Bulletin."
