Today in Aiu'n, The Holy Seat, a cow was found in a heavily populated area of town.
It had no collar, or brand, to tell who it's owner was.
It sat in the middle of the town square for a few minutes,
before a bomb in it's stomach went off, killing the cow,
and harming the populace.
It is rumoured someone shouted "All for Khoruun!" seconds before the explosion.
4,000 dead, 6,700 injured, 137 missing. More news as it becomes available
Khas, aide to the Holy Lord Blues shook his head, reading the news feed. "What kind of misguided idiots would do such a thing? Our humble nation has done nothing to provoke them..." He sighed. "The Holy Emperor will not be pleased at this..."
An hour later, the orders went down the ranks. They were to get intelligence on this 'Khoruun' group, and eliminate them, if possible.

OOC: Cows are extremely rare in The Holy Empire, and many people WERE fighting for a closer look. Also, they use some pretty nice explosives in thems cows. Plus, it was at a peak hour in the middle of the most heavily populated area in the city.

The Sacred Chancellor had just been informed of the tragedy in Aiu'n when he happened to see his Prefect of Health in the southwest parliamentary corridor.
"Gideon, have you heard about the bombing today?"
"Yes, Chancellor, I just received the phone call. I'm preparing the official dispatch now."
"Very good. I'll let parliament know right away so that we can offer our prayers to those poor people. Have your people mobilised and ready to go. You may use any resources you need. I'll sign all the paperwork."
"Understood. Thank you, Chancellor."

Mmmmmmmm.....hamburgers.....
Imperial Palace, Risban City- The Emperor's Office
"Sir, a cow blew up several thousand people in the Holy Empire of Lord Blues," said Foreign Affairs Minister Alexander Perkins as he walked in. "A few thousand people died."
Emperor Scorpius eyed the hamburger he was having for dinner before looking at Perkins, arching an eyebrow. "A cow.... Blew up several thousand people?"
"Yes, sir. A cow walked into the town square, stood there, let people admire it, and then poof...."
The Emperor did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Erm... Heh... Send our condolences."
Statement of the Grand Imperium
We are sorry for the losses that came from this cow of an attack. The Grand Imperium of Risban loves cows, especially when cooked well-done, and does not approve of them being blown up, let alone done so to kill thousands of people.
We hope you catch those responsible.
