[OOC: First II post since I retired for a month then came back after RL situations regulated themselves.]
New Hivez, South Belka, Vuhifellian Federation
Bright Hill
President Vincent Daniels was standing behind a large, oak podium on the steps of the capitol building, addressing the nation as to the condition of the Federation. He wore a black suit, with a white shirt underneath, a black tie, and sunglasses. It almost looked as if one of the Presidential Guardmen were giving the speech instead of him.
"I say once more, that the Federation shall not give in to terrorism, and that our colonies in the Southern Archipelago will not be given independence. The province of West Anean shall remain in Vuhifellian hands, even if the surrounding governments lay claim to Western Anea, it's people are happier within the Federation."
There was no applause to his speech, and a fairly small audience in the spectator stands, mostly comprised of members of his political party. A few blocks away, capital district police were keeping a large crowd of protestors at bay, closely monitoring them to prevent a riot.
"I hope my speech today has inspired you all in our fellow comradeship as Vuhifellians. May Tyth watch over us and may the nation prosper under our glorious military."
A few members of the audience applauded this time, they were sitting in the front row, and consisted of his closest ministers and advisors. The Vice President, Albert Apperouth, already in the limousine. He was from a different, more liberal party, and couldn't stand Mr. Daniels's words. The only reason Vincent Daniels even had the office of Presidency instead of him, was because he was descended from "Great Blood" and therefor could get anything in the Federation he wanted.
But as Mr. Daniels stepped away from the podium, there was the splitting of wood, and a muffled, gurgling sound.
There was a single bullet hole in the president's throat, and a small piece of the podium had been destroyed. No one had heard a gunshot.
Following evacuation procedure, the Vice President's convoy immediately sped off for the Presidential Palace, whilst the cabinet members all ran towards the capitol building. There was a backup convoy waiting in the capitol garage, just in case.
The sound of ambulance sirens could be heard in the distance, as well as the roar of jet engines and helicopter blades.

New Hivez National Health Center
Outside the surgery room, Vice President Apperouth stood outside the door, with him were the Supreme Council, the Supreme Judge of the High Court, the president's parents, and a few congress members. They were all eagerly awaiting the President's condition.
A few minutes past the hour, at exactly 12:03, the Presidents personal doctor walked out of the room, blood covered a large portion of his gown, and he shook his head.
"Vincent Daniels. 49th President of the Federation. Deceased. Time of death, 12:02, 5 March 2099. Cause of death, blood loss due to gunshot wound to the carotid artery. Witnesses: Dr. Ayman Sukhor, Dr. Brett Wilkes, RN Samantha Hayes, RN Aiza Agcoili, and myself, Dr. Simon Fig."
The mood of everyone was tense. Alicia Daniels, Vincent's mother, and a former president herself, was in tears, her husband comforting her. The various congressmen silently speaking of who could have done such an act, and the Supreme Judge grabbed Vice President Apperouth by the shoulders and gave a nod.
"Raise your right hand, please?" asked the judge, "Do you, Albert Apperouth, accept to take the place of Vincent Daniels as President of the Federation?"
Yes
"Please repeat after me, the Oath of Presidential Allegiance: I swear on my life and my honor,"
I swear on my life and my honor,
"To uphold the values of Vuhifellian life,"
To uphold the values of Vuhifellian life
"And to protect the continent's feedoms,"
And to protect the continent's freedoms,
"From tyranny, corruption, and destruction,"
From tyranny, corruption, and destruction,
"May Tyth be behind me,"
May Tyth be behind me.
"Albert Apperouth, you are now, officially the 50th President of the Vuhifellian Federation..."
