TRANSCRIPT OF LIVE NEWS STORY
12th March, 2015
SCENE: Shazbotdom News Network Studio
"...not sure what exactly caused the massive ship to crash into a non-existent sandbar. Imperial investigators are looking into it. In other news, the Supreme Emperor is getting ready to make a speech about the declaration of War upon the 'Free Missouri Watch Alliance' that was recently issued by The Metal Head Oligarchy of Wewtlandem. It is unsure as to what he is going to say, but we are going to go live to our camera crews just outside of the Shazbotdom Imperial Palace, where the Supreme Emperor will make his speech from a balcony overlooking the rear courtyard and Imperial Square. Are you there Kenny?"
SCENE: Underneath the Supreme Balcony; Shazbotdom Imperial Palace
"Yes, Tom. It is a very unsettling situation here as the public has flocked to Imperial Square in preparation for His Majesty's speech....Wait a minute. There is some movement up on the Balcony, lets go to Camera 2 to see what's going on."
"Ladies and Gentlemen," came the voice of the Herald as the camera switched to a view looking directly at the Balcony. "I present to you the Most High, Supreme Power in the Land, His Majesty, Supreme Emperor Larry Williams."
Larry walked out of a doorway to the left of the Herald and shook his hand, then Larry let him walk past him and exit the Balcony. Entering shortly behind him were several members of the Shazbotdom Imperial Parliament and his wife, Theresa Williams, clad in her usual royal attire. Stepping up to the Microphone, the Parliamentary Members sat down in chairs along the back while his wife sat down right next to him and the Microphone. He raised his hands to revel in the applause of his constituents but then lowers his hands to get them to calm down. He then gets a serious look on his face as he steps closer to the microphone.
"War? Is that what the allies of Free Missouri wish due to their incapability to understand the true intentions of an alliance such as the one that the Empire has joined. We are here to keep an eye on Free Missouri to ensure that she doesn't attempt any of the Warmongering and Religious Forcing Wars that they have done in the past. Imposing Trade Sanctions and patrolling her coast in International Waters for any threatening military actions is one way to ensure that they do not do anything that threatens the peace and prosperity of the International Community. But openly threatening War against us for just setting up a watchdog group? That is just infantile of their respective National Leaderships."
"I have thus dispatched a small contingent of Marines from a few branches to join the forces of the combined FMWA Forces, and I will be prepared to dispatch more Marines to the front line to combat the Warmongering ways of the Allies of Free Missouri. It is time for the Empire to step back out of the Shadows and take a more Active Role in International Politics." He then walks off of the balcony and back into the building.
