Miragean National Media BREAKING NEWS REPORT

On MNM.com

Today the small town of Ruga River was captured today by a group, officially known as the "Forewarners".

It is thought that the town was captured for its gold mining facilities. The citizens of Ruga River have not contacted government agencies as of late, therefore we are unsure as to what their status is.

The Forewarners are a radical religious sect that believes the world will end and it is the duty of the Forewarners to kill all "sinners" before their so called Judgement Day. They are listed as an official terrorist group by the Miragean Intelligence Bureau and have been known to have engaged in arms trading. It is believed they are widespread throughout the southern rural areas of Miragea and stay away from the northern urbanized areas.

The area around Ruga River is known for the gold mines it has, and the Forewarners may be exploiting citizens of Ruga River for harvesting gold, or they may simply be killed to fulfill their religious "duties".

Miragean Special Forces have been airdropped in the area to help stabilize the situation and prevent any Forewarners from using the gold mines there to collect any income.

18:31, Siege of Ruga River

"All right, let's go, go, go!" Sgt. Jordans hollered over the radio as the 16 man team jumped out of the C-130.

"Ok. Alpha Team, let's go." Pvt. Willow was the first to go forward, since he was the scout. Nervously clutching his M16, he shakily walked up the eerily empty streets of the town. After a good 10 minutes of walking he heard some noise. The town wasn't so empty after all.

A bunch of Forewarners were doing some sort of ritual around a group of Ruga River citizens, who were tied to a pole and were about to be burnt by a flaming torch, in a ritualistic sacrifice.

"My God! S-s-sir! They're...."

"I can see, Willow. I'll radio it over to the Government" Sgt. Jordans whispered.

"Jenkins! I want you to eliminate that group of Forewarners."

"Err..how?"

"I want those bastards shelled. With an 84 mike-mike. Blow 'em to hell with your M3 MAAWS. Those innocents are gonna burn.. might as well stop their misery."

Jenkins put the metal tube on his shoulder and aimed it. A fellow soldier put in a roound

"Backblast clear!?"

Jenkins shot the round out of the tube, straight at the pole. The innocent citizens died instantly, and the rest of the Forewarners either died from the blast of got facefuls of shrapnel.

The 16-man team went up to the blast area. Sgt. Jordans saw a rapidly breathing Forewarner slouched on the ground. Jordans kneeled and asked if he could talk. He got no reply.

Jordans sighted his M16 and blew half of his face off with a 3 shot burst.

"Hey Sir! This one can talk!" A Corporal shouted to Jordans.

Jordans kneeled, and told him a simple statement; "Now, if you cooperate with us, we'll clear all charges with you and we'll let you survive and go scot-free. But if you don't, you die. Simple?"

The Forewarner replied, "Hah! You will never defeat the Forewarners! Judgement Day is at ha-" He got a mouthful of lead from Sgt. Jordans.

"That's enough of this BS. Let's move on."
