The World news symbol begins to appear on the screens of TVs across the globe as people settle down to watch the evening’s world news

“Good Evening… I am Richard Deaton and welcome to this Evenings news”

“Today, large scale protests have been staged at the borders of the Kraven Corporation.” “The protests began as the Large nation of the Kraven Corporation relocated to the Area, Region 17… Protestors claim the Corporations move was an Invasion not a simple relocation as the Corporation had indicated… We go now to the seen of the Protests with Mike Hanover… Mike”

“Thanks Richard, we’ve spent the best part of the day here, watching in first person as the days events unfolded… the Corporations move was sudden and unexpected and people of Region 17 fear for their lives, the Corporation has already made several demands for the protestors to leave with threats of action possible if demands are not met… We will keep you informed if anything else develops… Richard”

“Thanks Mike… A spokes person from the Corporation said earlier today, “The Corporation will not tolerate dissidents or protestors, we remain firm however that this is a relocation and not a military invasion… the High Command hopes it can resolve this peacefully... but we will not hesitate to use force in dealing with this matter...”

“That is all for today… we will return after the break with the sport and Weather”

World News fades out… and Adverts fade in…

"Hi.. I am Richard Deaton... Nal Sidian Administration Government for Region 17 have asked the Protestors to quietly end this un-needed conflict of interests at the borders of the Kraven Nation... The Kraven responded again with threats of action against the protestors and several Corporation Attack Vtols have been seen guarding the border... In other news surrounding the Corporation... Nal Sidian have given permission to the Corporation to begin training an Elite wing of the police force funded by the Corporation and also Controlled... the forces are expected to be seeing active duty within 6 months... We have Mike Hanover at the Border now.. Mike.."

"Thanks Richard, again we have seen more threats of action... and still the rioters go on unhindered... people are asking are these threats real? will the Corporation fire upon innocent citizens voicing their opinions... we have already seen several Vtols that appear to be designed primarly in an attacking role... patrolling the borders... wether or not they will utilise them we dont know... I am mike... praying that this ends without bloodshed...."

"Thanks Mike... Thats all from this story... we will bring you more is it further develops"

+++Encoded Message To The Leader Of The Kraven Corporation+++

We as a government will not publicly, nor privately, condone any hostile actions you take against these protesters, these leaches on society.
In the past we have had many a violent protest that has ended up in bloodshed due to the actions of these "people".... we know precisly the kind of thoughts that are floating around within your office of power.

I wish to say that should the situation turn ugly, we understand as to why. As a result of this, should the international community get a bit upset about this, we will back you up with no second thoughts.

If there is any information that you belive that we should know, now is the time to inform us... we do not believe you are preparing for an invasion. Any help we may be able to provide, let us know.

Dear Concerned Nations,


My Region will not allow hostile acts toward civilians in any way, shape or form. If this happens, you will be sorry. The people have a right of free speech and I will not allow you to take that from them.

+++To The Department Of Defense, Sinical+++

We were not stating that the protesters need to be fired on straight away, we were simply saying how we know that a small number of people will start geting rowdy and will start throwing things at the police... perhaps even firing upon them.
We stated that we understand that the police need to protect their own lives, we stated that we would protect The Kraven Corporation should the international community decide to act, should things go wrong
We genuinely believe that the government of The Kraven Corportation will take the best course of action avalible, and we do sincerly hope that the protests die down without any deaths.

However we shall defend ourselves should the need arise.

"This evenings news"

"Hi I am Richard Deaton and welcome to World News"

"The Protests on the Kraven Corporation borders have hotted up, Talon Eternus troops have been deployed to ensure no harm comes to the protestors and with the Corporation acting on the threats they promised, the Corporation opened up with a salvo of tear gas projectiles... later on the main gates into corporation territory opened up and several large APC's attacked the protestors with high powered water cannons... protestors scattered and fled... but we are unsure what will happen... Mike Hanover is still at the incident... Mike"

"Thanks Richard... I can hardly see right now, the air is thick with tear gas and Corporation APC's are still attacking protestors with water cannons, I myself was caught up in the initial tear gas bombardment and my eyes are stinging and streaming with tears... the attack from the Corporation was swift and efficient... the air filled with screams and the sounds of vtols over head... it is a sensory bombardment... disorientated people are wandering... looking for relatives and loved ones... so far thier are no casualties... and no blood has been shed... i just hope that the protestors do not take up arms... Richard"

"Thanks Mike... We still hope that the situation can be resolved without bloodshed.."


"In other news, Sir Danvers, a respectable MP has today been charged with corruption by the high court of Talon eternus... thats all from todays news, we will keep you informed when anything new develops, Im Richard Deaton...Goodnight"

Administrator Samon of the Nal Sidian government came forward with this to say:

"As Administrator of the Nal Sidian state and ruler of Region 17 I would like to express my deepest concerns for the Kraven corporation and this previously unforseen situation.

I hasten to add, that the Talon Eternus government and the Republic of Simeden are acting alone and are of no affliation to the Nal Sidian government regarding this...awkward situation.

However I would also like to add that they are acting on the behalf of their own beliefs and that is the single fact as to why I do not openly oppose what they are doing. The Nal Sidian government or regional govenors will not authorize any action on behalf of our state. The situation will be left in the capable hands of the Kraven corporation.

That is not to say, mind you - that we will accept a war or battle of any kind. Tear gas and hoses are perfectly acceptable to deal with protesters. Afterall, what did a little rotten tomato do to hurt anyone?

The situation is still under review."

"Good Afternoon... We apologise for the disruption to normal TV veiwing but a terrible disaster has happend on the borders of the Kraven Corporation... today a squadron of Corporation VTOL attack gunships made several passes over the protestors and opened fire on each run, and estimated 500 plus people were killed... the massed protestors were massacred in two attack runs... the large calliber ammuntion used by the VTOLS went through several people before finally comming to stop... Mike Hanover is thankfully still alright and is still on site... Mike... whats going on at the moment?"

"The attack came quickly... we do not know if it was ordered.. but evidence currently suggests it wasn't..in fact several corporation medical teams have been deployed to aid the wounded and comfort the families of those killed... the attack was swift and efficient as demonstrated before... the vtols came out of the sky like rockets... the screams were defening and i was swept along with the crowd... just next to me several rounds impacted into protestors who moments before i had been interviewing.... Richard"

"Thanks Mike.."

"The Kraven Corporation issued a statment... a few hours after the incident"

The High Command Issued a response to this disaster

"The Wing Commander was acting on his own, we did not nor condoned his actions and he was NOT acting under our orders, upon the squadron landing the entire wing was placed under military arrest and are awaiting court marshall tomorow morning... our deepest sympathes are with the familys of those who were killed and as we speak Corporation medical teams are seeing to those who are wounding.... the corporation extends its deepest regrets that this accident could not have been averted"

"Follows is a breif radio contact with the wing commander"

"Negative... Negative.. Vtol Group Alpha... stand down immeadiatly.. Stand down these are direct Orders..."
