An article from the Deheek National Newspaper:
Today is day three of the search for the two missing girls who suddenly dissapeared in the night. As many know the girls live in a remote part of Deheek. They went hiking one day in the woods and stumbled across what they said where political prisoners, such as Gary Lund who was launching a public campaign against our beloved dictator, Lord Fontaine. With the some 23 people were government soldiers who lined them up and shot them one by one. All attempts to contact government officials about this have been unsuccesful and people are now pointing fingers at Lord Fontaine.

Lord Fontaine's Office:
"Can you believe this?!" Lord Fontaine said while slamming a copy of today's newspaper on his desk.
"No sir. The claims they make are absolutly rediculus." Mumbled his assistant fearing for his job if he said anything else.
"I think it's time we have a press release." The clearly frustrated dictator said as he stood up and left his office.

Press Conferance with Lord Fontaine:
"Hello and good afternoon. I will take questions one at a time!" He said while stepping up to the podium.
"What do you know about the missing girls?" A reporter shouted from the back of the room.
"I know as much as all of you do at this point."
"Is it true that soldiers were executing prisoners in the forest?" another reporter asked.
"I don't believe that is true but I will personaly be getting to the bottom of this. Uhh. Thank you but thats all of the time I have for today!" He said before leaving the room.

The Armed Republic of Cascade States finds this a disturbing bit of news, and in an effort to reassure the rest of the world that it must be some sort of erroneous rumor we have began running the information which was previously ignored when our satellites pass over your country every couple of hours.

Message to the Leader of deheek,

We have become aware of some "disappearances" of several of your nations citizens.
And as we are aware you have a small budget when it comes to law and order we know that you might have issues with launching a full scale effort to find them. So we have asked some of our Satellite intelligence staff to assist you in finding these people.
Using some of the Finest in SAR ( synthetic Aprature Radar ) Infrared imaging and Optical satellites we posses it won't take long before they show up. Why we can see most anything if it's larger than 1 meter, generates heat or is less than 30ft underground!
Don't worry over the cost either this is a humanitarian mission for us, so we will of course be doing it for free. And if you are unable to reach them where ever they turn up, we'll even dispatch some of our best Search and Rescue teams to assist you!
It's also a great marketing opportunity for us, we're not just an Arms
producer you know. We're concerned global citizens who are always happy to help our neighbors.
Maybe you'd like to look at some of our hardware later?

Cascade States,

Lord Fontaine's Office:
"What?!" Lord Fontaine screamed as he read the message that another nation would start looking for the girls. He picked up his phone and dialed Dr.Bek's phone number.
"Hello?"
"Hi. This is Lord Fontaine. How are the girls operations going?"
"Ok for the moment. It will take some time though. The procedure was only tested on monkeys so it will be a while before we are able to kill the neurons that contain the info on what they saw....." Dr.Bek said just before an alarm ripped through wherever he was.
"Oh shit! One of the girls broke free. Shes running toward a press release thats going on outside." He said and slammed down the phone.

Press Release at The new Deheek National Medical Research Center:
"And so. Without furthur adue here is Dr.Haleg" Said the person at the podium as a girl in a straight jacket burst through the doors behind them.
"Help! They captured me and my sister! We saw soldiers killing people in a forest!" She screamed as she was chased into the sea of reporters by four security officers! The officers quikly hauled the girl away and then returned as the reporters shouted questions. The officers surrounded the group of reporters.
"Attention everyone. Please form a single file line and hand over all recording devices."

this is an interesting development,
What will the public hear?

is this still going on?
