An statement was issued by the Lord High Steward, First Great Officer of State of Aerion. This statement was sent to all major news networks within Aerion, and was cited to be internationally released.

"Some time ago the Royal Airship, upon which His Majesty was holding an party for international delegates, was shot down over the forests of Amether. The culprits in this terrorist attack have been determined to be the terrorist organization known as the Aerion People's Liberation Army, an left wing extremist group whose only interest seems to terrorize us. In this attack, His Majesty King Wasterin X was critically injured. His Majesty is, at this moment, in critical condition, and is being treated in the Emergency Medical Center within the Royal Palace by his personal doctors, and the best specialists in the country. It is anticipated the King will recover, however it is as of yet undetermined if he can return to full normal health, and what longterm damage his injuries may cause. As per Royal Decree, I, the Lord High Steward shall become Regent Ad Interim. The day to day operations of the Royal Government shall continue. That is all."

There was no official statement as to if this was the reason for the national lockdown and communications blackout earlier, though it is assumed by most that the Lord High Steward took these measures to prevent any internal disruptions due to the King's injury, and the terrorist attack.

To Aerion,

"Is this thing on?", a females voice, "Yes", replies another female.

Should the king's brain needed to be transplanted into a new body, the Principality regrets to inform Aerion that this is beyond the capability of their highly trained medical staff.

However, in his limitless wisdom, Prince Vayne del Tierracossa has resently instated mandatory organ harvesting. Should Aerion's medical staff forward a DNA sample of their monarch, the Principality is willing to search the medical database for a fitting match on the organs required for transplantation.

Kindly forward all information to: The Ministery of Information.

Update on the King:

It has been revealed, through several leaks, that the King is in fact "worse than what is being said." The rumors are that the King is unresponsive, and is in such critical condition that he is on permanent life support. These could simply be rumors, but the Office of the Lord High Steward is not speaking.

There have been serious reports now from the case. The Royal Doctor is now speaking out, issuing a statement that the King is still in "critical condition", and is "unresponsive." The King also still appears to be on life support, and has critical burns to his body. There was no comment on the Royal Doctor's statement by the Office of the Royal Regent.
