Zania Plosdyiva: "Good evening fellow Xubrans. I'm Zania Plosdyiva, and with me as always is Drigik Mritsyev. He has our breaking top story."

Drigik Mritsyev: "Thank you Zania, and good evening fellow Xubrans. Our top story is actually happening right now, and is coming to you from the Palace of the Deputy-Directors. During a speech he was giving a mere 3 hours ago, the Deputy-Director for International Intelligence, Branz Flozip, was shot and killed by an unknown rifleman. A search of the area yielded nothing but a highly crafted, hand-loaded 30-06 cartridge casing from approximately 600 yards away from the podium. An emergency autopsy conducted on the Deputy-Director found a 30-06 bullet had entered through the upper area of the sternum and penetrated the heart. The Assistant to the Deputy-Director for Weaponry, Isdoni Maya had this to say:"

Isdoni Maya: "Good evening fellow Xubrans. The bullet and cartridge casing that were used to kill the Deputy-Director have been analyzed and have been found to be custom-made and fired from a high powered X24-Q5 single shot bolt-action 30-06 rifle, and it is of Xubran make. This does not necessarily mean that we suspect any citizen of Xubra of this crime. Because of the trajectory of the bullet, we have found that the location where the casing was found is almost certainly the spot the bullet was fired from. This position was slightly elevated from where the podium was, and approximately 600 yards away, meaning that this person is definitely a marksman, and is probably military trained. More details will come from the Office of the Deputy-Director for the Press, and good evening fellow Xubrans."

Drigik Mritsyev: "Good evening fellow Xubrans. This is a very rapidly developing story, and continues to unfold. Definitely a grave situation, it has even prompted the highly reclusive Director-General Mraqi Madvaz to make a statement to the Xubran people. We are switching over to a live feed from the Office of the Director-General right now."

Mraqi Madvaz: "Good evening fellow Xubrans. With the death of Deputy-Director Flozip, it is obvious to me that we are no longer as safe as once thought. I have come on camera tonight to request that you, the citizens of Xubra, have patience with both myself and the rest of your government in this time of tragedy. That being said, I think certain actions are necessary to allow for the further safety of our nation. Therefore, all borders of Xubra are henceforth closed to any person that does not have a Passage Visa from the Office of the Deputy-Director for Transport. This border closure will persist for at least one week. Any further details will come from either my Office or the Office of the Deputy-Director for the Press, and good evening fellow Xubrans."

*Cuts back to Drigik Mritsyev*

Drigik Mritsyev: "Good evening fellow Xubrans. Now we go back to Zania Plosdyiva in studio, and good evening fellow Xubrans."

Zania Plosdyiva: "Good evening fellow Xubrans. A few more notes before we finish for the evening. The funeral for Deputy-Director Flozip will be held on the 15th of January, 2008, and is open to any who wish to mourn his brutal murder. Borders are closed, effective immediately, and we will update you with all details as we get them. So, until the next edition of XN3, good night, fellow Xubrans"
