HUBC Official Breaking News Broadcast
[Heirosoloan United Broadcasting Corporation]
Broadcasting Live from Tideport, NHEIR

Across Heirosoloa, viewers watching a show on the multiple HUBC channel were surprised when the screen flickered, to change to an emergency news broadcast. Luckily, it wasn't a natural disaster or terrorist attack, but nevertheless it was something that surprised the population when they heard about it. The screen zoomed in to show three reporters, a woman and two men, with solemn faces, a change from the smiles that were rumored to be required by HUBC. Behind them was a television set with the words 'Emergency News Broadcast' flashing on it. The female reporter spoke first as the three went through their usual introduction.

"Hello, I'm Linda Jackson."
"I'm Tom Eferall."
"And I'm Daniel Thomson, this is an emergency news broadcast from HUBC."

Linda smiled shortly and began talking, "We're sorry to interrupt your usual broadcast, but we have just learned that the Assembly has impeached Prime Minister David Chii. They have not announced you will temporarily succeed him as the Prime Minister, until the elections next year."

"Insiders have reported that Prime Minister Chii had suspected he would be impeached ever since he removed the state of isolationism Heirosoloa had been put into, and since the recent military actions of Heirosoloa."

"We now take you to the steps of the Assembly Building in Tideport, with our reporter Kate Devlin, who is currently on the scene."

The screen flashed to show a young woman standing on the steps of a large building. Behind her was a large mob of disgruntled looking people being held back by policemen. The young woman looked calm, but her eyes gave away her anxiety.

"Hello, I'm on the steps of the Assembly Building, where a large group of people are crowding around to get word of what is going on inside. Apparently the Assembly had been preparing this for quite a while secretly, before quickly impeaching him to stop any attempts at assassination or emergency orders that would keep him in power and possibly turn him into a dictator. We have seen very little of him, with the Prime Minister arriving quickly before we ourselves could come. No one has been allowed inside the assembly building, and we don't think anyone will. When the Assembly is done we'll be here waiting. back to you Linda, Tom, and Daniel."

The screen returned to the reporters who had kept their solemn faces.

"Thank you Kate, and we're going to have to take a short commercial break. Stay tuned, because we're going to continue to cover this breaking news story."

Mark watched the television. He typed a telegram to the office

"We would like to give any support necessary to you in finding a new ruler.

[OoC; Responses to the below.]

The telegram went generally unnoticed except for by a few aides. Everyone was distracted with watching the television. As the day wore on, more and more left silently or fell to the ground. Things were seeming to get worse and worse as the news kept on coming. People had been generally happy with their previous political leader and the country's general political stance with the previous administration. But the announcements that Assembly had made had changed that. It had changed everything, and everyone knew it was not for the better.

An hour or so after the initial broadcast, the news had filled in the time with records of previous impeachments, including the last, where the order of the city was held only by a group of the newly made 'Valkyries.' As the announcers left commentary on the clips they suddenly paused as an aide rushed in and dropped a paper on their desks before rushing back out. The blood drained from their faces as they read over the small piece if paper covered in type. Linda looked up with tears welling in her eyes. What she murmured was quiet, yet it seemed loud on the television set.

"David Chii is dead. He was shot on the steps of the Assembly building by an unknown suspect. We will now.. We will now take you to the scene with Kate Devlin."

As the screen flashed back to the young woman, things were obviously different. She was now pushed back into the crowd, which had grown ominously silent. Behind her was a large line of riot police patrolling a barricade with batons and shields. Further behind that was a group of medical officers loading up a stretcher and hurrying away with it towards an ambulance parked in a secluded lot. As the men with the stretcher hurried away, a group of men walked out of the assembly building, towards a podium which had been set up for a much closer crowd. The words, however, were still audible, and they too were words that would shock the nation.

"We have decided to break our policy, and reform our nation. Today, we of Assembly have chosen your great new leader. He will get rid of all this war, and we can return to the old days where we depended on ourselves and few others to be trusted." The crowd was not pleased, and stayed dreadfully quiet. The man on the podium realized this, and began to try and rectify his mistakes. "But this will be a glorious age, where we will combine the best of both worlds!" A man in the crowd yelled out "stupid teenage pop singer!" To the confusion of many present. But the old man, now sweating continued on. "This man has promise in him, and if he doesn't perform up to our standards, he will have time to learn from his mistakes. A lot of time." The crowd grew quiet as they begin to think over what he could mean before he continued. "I give you our new High Lord Minister, Miles Oswald Jacobs!" There was absolutely no response to the diminishing crowd expect a couple more yells from various location. As the young man walked out, it became clear the crowd simply was not interested in hearing more delusion, and they were leaving to prove it. The young man simply watched silently before speaking quietly to the older man who had previously spoken. After that he glanced over the remaining crowd and left, heading back to the Assembly building.
