time for a news report!
The following will appear on the news at 6 PM in Alternate Discedo only:
As a result of the news, two things will happen:
Good evening Discedo. This is the seven o'clock news. I'm Jake Nowak— NEWSCASTER 2: —And I'm Molly. Our top story tonight: a terrorist attack on one of the military bases just outside of town. The camera shows the storehouse—damaged, with crews working to repair it and heavily armed guards pacing around. NEWSCASTER 1: Yesterday afternoon, a group of subversive agents attacked and attempted to steal items from the warehouse. Authorities will not tell us if they were successful, but they did release photos of the culprits. Can we get them up? Clear photographs fill the screen: on the left, security footage of the raid, and on the right, the ID pictures, clear as day, of everyone who participated in it, as well as names, home addresses, and workplace information. NEWSCASTER 2: What horrible people. The police have started their manhunt, both in the city and over the network, and the city will offer a substantial reward to anyone with information as to their whereabouts leading to their capture. NEWSCASTER 1: —I just got word: the mayor's office has confirmed that upon capture, they will be immediately put on trial and executed. NEWSCASTER 2: Don't you mean put on trial to determine execution? NEWSCASTER 1: The evidence is all here. There's no doubting their guilt. Remember: if you have any information and see any of them, call the number on your screen. Remember Miriama and Ace! Don't let that happen again! NEWSCASTER 2: Oh, and as a reminder—the network is being carefully watched. Don't joke about knowing where they are if you don't want police beating down your door! Remember the McLaughin scandal last year? Don't let that be your kids! The screen returns to the newscasters. In the background, an image of a hangman's noose appears. NEWSCASTER 1: The Hollislander Executions were early this morning. As you all probably recall, last week, sixteen Hollislanders left their district and refused to do their work unless we met with their demands. A screenshot of what looks like a protest—a lot of blond people, some carrying signs like WE'RE CITIZENS TOO! and DOWN WITH DISCEDO! NEWSCASTER 2: They then kidnapped poor Heather Lewis, holding her hostage. After her rescue two days later, the trial was held and the judge ruled on branding for ten of the group, and execution for the rest. The image is now of one of the Hollislanders, wearing an eyepatch that doesn't hide the burns on her face. She is crying and in handcuffs, being led through the city. People watch and jeer. Other Hollislanders in similar condition follow. The image switches to an execution ground. Five men and one woman stand in line as their charges are read to them. The camera cuts away from the actual hangings, but records the first man's final, heartfelt pleas for a more fair state. As he is hung, the camera scans the rest of the line. Now the image switches to mug shot photos of the six: Joseph D. Whitecastle, George P. Benbow, Matthew K. Hardwick, Thomas L. Joyce, Thomas J. Knowlton, and Lydia A. Knowlton. NEWSCASTER 1: Authorities say the executions went off without a hitch, and released the bodies back to their community early this afternoon. NEWSCASTER 2: Don't you wonder what could drive people to such crimes? Weren't two of them a married couple? Hollislanders have no sense of responsibility. NEWSCASTER 1: Agreed, Molly. In other news, the mayor's office has informed us that there is a possible infection going around— NEWSCASTER 2: More bad news, huh? NEWSCASTER 1: You said that right. Apparently this virus isn't life threatening, but can cause manic episodes and lower inhibitions, as well as cause temporary memory loss. Several of you have reported strange behavior from people lately; either in person or observed over the network. The government says they are likely sick and unaware of their actions. They should be encouraged to rest and calm down until they recover; if symptoms persist, please check them into the hospital where doctors are setting up an emergency ward. NEWSCASTER 2: Any information on where it came from? NEWSCASTER 1: Uhh— no, not yet. There's speculation it may have come from Lachesistein, but authorities are urging us not to worry about that right now, and are refusing to confirm or deny. But if you or someone you love seems to be suffering, check them into the hospital straight away. NEWSCASTER 2: Our next story: The screen now shows the nonhuman 'retirement camp' under construction. NEWSCASTER 2: Construction on Pine Village continues to make good progress, and the moving date for nonhumans has been updated to July 5th. Good news for us all. But, where do these freaks come from? We had Dr. Phineas Karas in the studio yesterday, and filed this report. Camera shows the hospital ward where the nonhumans are kept. NEWSCASTER 2 (V.O.) Freaks. Mutants. Aliens. No one is quite sure where this creatures come from, but we do know that the first of them arrived here almost fourteen years ago. Camera shows a young woman attempting to draw blood from a troll that looks a bit like Harry Potter; he struggles and a young man with brown hair joins the woman to help. The troll yells and curses the man, calling him Mr Sparkles; the man sedates him. The news bleeps out the curses, but leaves in the man's reply: "Perhaps a nice picnic first, Mr. Skittles." The camera then cuts to another troll on a treadmill, doing a heart rate exercise; a third on an exam table, her blood pressure being measured. NEWSCASTER 2 (V.O.) Are they dangerous? Are they human? These are questions we've wondered since the moment we found them. I joined Dr. Phineas Karas to talk about the nonhuman epidemic. Now NEWSCASTER 2 and DR. KARAS, a middle aged, dark skinned man, are shown sitting in two armchairs in a studio. DR. KARAS It's clear that they are not human, but what isn't clear is what they are. Current theory has it that they were affected by the radiation storms while still in the womb. NEWSCASTER 2 So they're mutants? DR. KARAS Possibly. Their DNA and even blood color varies wildly. It's difficult to make any detailed classifications, not in the least as the children themselves don't seem to know where they came from. NEWSCASTER 2 Could they be lying, or hiding the truth? DR. KARAS It's doubtful. Do you remember your birth? No, I believe that they are a new type of human. As you'll remember, the first nonhuman documented was born to normal parents, but had obviously nonhuman features. Further children from these parents were perfectly ordinary—of course, they and their parents were tested—and so as of now the official cause is unknown. The mutations seem to vary. One girl has horns but no other unusual features, for example. But, the full mutation is the most common—grey skin, odd blood, horns and the like. However, I don't believe them to be harmful or dangerous, except perhaps to themselves. NEWSCASTER 2 That's not the popular opinion. DR. KARAS We're taught to fear what we do not know… and rightfully. But I have devoted my professional life to studying these creatures, and am confident that they mean no harm. NEWSCASTER 2 In that case, why don't they live in Discedo with the rest of us? DR. KARAS No, no, I think we all can agree that would be unwise. But I'm very pleased with how Pine Village is being built. I think in this environment, they'll be able to live comfortable lives with a great deal of freedom. NEWSCASTER 2 And you'll continue studying them? DR. KARAS Oh, of course. The facility has a full lab and medical testing center. This is my life's work. Image changes back to the studio. Both newscasters are smiling. NEWSCASTER 1 Thank you for the report. The doctor really seems to believe in what he's doing. NEWSCASTER 2 I hope for all our sake's he's not wrong! Now, let's break for the weather. When we come back, we'll be looking at accusations of rigging races in the chariot arena… |
As a result of the news, two things will happen:
1. Nearly double the normal police will be seen, all trying to find and capture the people who took place in that log. As well, any and all network posts they make/comment to will lead to tracking them down.
2. The following characters:takehiscrown,
ITALY will be on extra patrols, looking for the enemy.
LOGAN will be told to assist in the propaganda campaigns against these people, and report any tips he gets to the police.
JON will be part of the task force organizing the manhunt. He'll help coordinate people and searches.
FLYNN will be told to search the Hollisland community for the fugitives, and search for a connection between them and Hollisland. He will also have to deal with the aftermath of the executions.
ALTAIR will be ordered to track and report every comment and post the fugitives make, along with several underlings.
It's entirely up to you if you want your characters to cooperate with Discedo or not, but if they try to subvert their orders to help the fugitives, they'll probably end up as part of Discedo's Most Wanted, too—if not tortured for information. They can choose to help capture them, or simple say they'll do it and not. It's entirely up to you, plotting is encouraged!
