This is Good Morning Elizabethshire, I am your host Tom Johnson. the male anchor announced

"Topping our news this morning, Riots in Laura's Island seems to be spreading as people express their outrage, Not only at the Old 2nd General Republic, but also at the Military Dictatorship that has replaced it, Cayo, and the Empire of Belem.

The Palace of Government on Laura's island was set aflame early this morning as the 34th Civil Guards Regiment fired into the crowd causing 16 civilian casualties.

(the anchor presses against his ear as his facial expression turns to shock)

This just in, From what turned into a Civilian Riot has just turned into Military Rebellion. The 24th Fleet is in the midst of Full fledged battle against its self. Early indications is that the RES Enterprise is aflame and the RES Shire is actually sunk.

(pictures show the RES Shire (Spruence Class Destroyer) and the RES Enterprise (Nimitz Class Carrier) in peace time)

I have just been informed we have a reporter on Laura's Island who can tell us more.

(static as a male voice comes on the audio) Am i on? Okay, i am Sam Hutchinson on Laura's Island. People, taking their frustrations out in a big way. There is talk of Laura's Island suceeding from The Republic. People are angry, Cayan and Belem flags have been burnt and effigies of the Emperor and President Perez has been burnt. The Police in the Island have been called out but, wait (talks to someone but the conversation isnt clearly heard) Wow, Tom, I have just been told that There is a Major Battle going on between Insurgents and Government forces in the City of Landcaster thirty miles away. Early indications are that five hundred citizens have stormed and fortified the Landcaster Armory and are preparing to fight Civil Guard, 6th Army, Police, and Two Regiments of the Foriegn Legion based on the island unless the Government in Elizabeth's town agrees to continue the war, however the government seems far more likely to crush the Rebellion. More as we know it.

The Breakfast in Cayo show,

"Reports a filtering through of wide spread riots, and even military revolution taking place in Elizabethstown. It is understood that widespread anger has gripped the nation over the withdrawel of Elizabethstown from conflicts with Cayo and allied nations.

Our Reporter Filangico Gonzalez is in the Elizabethstown Capital,"

"Yes, anarchy has gripped Elizabethstown as people express their anger at their government, and indeed the government of Cayo over recent events. Cayan flags can be seen burning, and pictures of General Perez destroyed. The Cayan Embassy here has been closed and fortified for the time being, and the government is advising all Cayans to leave Elizabethstown and avoid travel in this region.

Filangico Gonzalez reporting live from Elizabethstown, back to the studio,"

"General Perez has sworn to support the current Elizabethstown Government, he said that "The new government is a force for peace, we urge all parties in Elizabethstown to express themselves without violence, and through the normal democratic process."

As Sixth Army Light Infantry troops begin to encircle the Compound, shots begin to ring out from light machine gun. An entire Squad falls as Foriegn Legionnaries move into position around the Arsenal, the Crack Legion preparing to full assault the arsenal.

Forty minutes away however, the 17th Tactical Wing preparing to respond to the Sixth Army's urgent call for Air back up was about to be fullfilled.

As the Sixth Army Headquarters at Landcaster began to plan their final assault, hearing the Roar of planes over head, they hear a whistling sound over head seconds later, The entire headquarters is demolished, the CO of the 6th, the Deputy and all the senior commanders are dead along with the Commanders of the 34th Civil Guard and the 8th Foriegn Legion.

Its become clear that Elizabethshire's Military is bitterly divided, with the a futher Rebellion at the Main Barracks Complex of the 4th Army near Sarashire and a Civilian Seizure of the Arsenal at Stella, two hours from Elizabeth's town on the mainland.
