Scaveutland

Chairman Abrams, leader of the Scaveutland Council reclined in his seat. The member of the ocuncil speaking now was new, and simply rehashing ideas that had been thrown around for years. Abrams eyes wandered the massive, marble clad council chamber. The enormous clock above the entrance said 4:24pm. Only six minutes left and the meeting would finally end. Abrams was too old to sit in these chairs for three hours straight anymore.
The speaker had just finished and was sitting back down. It was 4:28. He could end the meeting early, no one had anything else to say.
"Well, esteemed congressmen," Abrams said rising to his feet, "If no one else has anything else to add, may I suggest that-"
Outside the doorway the sound of many running feet coud be heard. THe doors clanged open and 50 regular army marines marched in and fanned about the room. A lone figure calmly walked in.
"Councilman Abrams! I'm afraid that you won't be closing the meeting so early this time."
"Field Marshal Bartend! What is the meaning of this?"
"Quite simple, you old coot. A new era is dawning. And the council is the first that has to be changed." Bartend reached calmly into his pocket.
"Bartend you fool! The council is the heart of our Federa-"
Abrams never finished his sentence for Bartend had drawn a pistol and fired a shot straight through Abrams eye.
"There is no more Federation of Scaveutland!" Bartend said in a booming voice.
As Bartend turned and walked out of the council room with four guards, the marines loaded weapons and took aim. Bartend walked down the marble hallways with the sound of gunfire emanating from the council chamber.

"Reporting for Scaveutland News, this is Reporter Karolyn Downey. As of 4:30 this afternoon the council of Scaveutland has been murdered in a military coup lead by Field Marshal Bartend of Scaveutland Proper. In an outstanding sweep of influence, an estimated 60% of the ground forces as well as fully 55% of the Federal fleets have joined his cause in creating a new order, the Confederacy of Scaveutland.
As of 6:00 pm, the comunications from Dar'nun and its shipyards to the Federal forces of Scaveutland ceased. As fighting continues across the system, the new council chairman, Councilman Bayer, has called for a united front against, 'the insurection of these overzealous generals.' As of 9:00pm Field Marshal Bartend has declared the new nation, the Confederacy of Scaveutland, to be the governing body of the Scaveutland System.
This is Reporter Karolyn Downey, signing off."
(OOC:So basically, that's the start. I was hoping for some outside influences on this one. Thanks.
