Readings showing that drinking water contains high amounts of unknown substances
New readings from the drinking water around The Pacific indicates a high concentration of an yet to be discovered substance. Scientists throughout the region are concerned ob how the contaminated water will affect those countries where the concentration seem to be at worst and has gathered together in a crisis-team to find the source of the contamination

Resistant substance
"This is very troublesome" says head scientist Professor Geoffrey Hugg, "The substance is very very resistant to any form of treatment methods, and simply filtering it from the rest of the water seems to be useless, but we are working on this case 24/7 to find a way to separate the strange substance from the pure water

Highest concentrations around Happy County
Professor Hugg states that the highest concentrations of the substance is found around the state of Happy County, a pretty recent addition to the Pacific Region. "We don't want to speculate in what this means, but the source of the contamination seems to come from there" he adds, encouraging the other states to put pressure on Happy County for a statement. He concludes that until people show some kind of reaction to the contamination or they discover without doubt what the substance is, there is no way to determine the effect this may have on people
