Sorry I have been gone for at least two weeks without internet access, (I am bad at warning you guys ahead of time that I will not be here....)
Washington D.C
[I]*A Bradley tank corps rumbles down Pennslyvania Avenue and stopped in front of the White House, a division of Infantry moved in behind them and established defensive positions around and in the White House.*
What is happening in Washington is happening in many of the major cities around the US, General Whitemore has taken control of the government with backing from the US Senate. I have with me a Sergeant from the 1st Armored division, "Sergeant, could you please explain to the nation what is happening?"
"All we know is that military takeovers are occuring all over the nation, we have orders to shut down all national monuments and limit traffic in all national parks and preservations. General Whitemore is taking all steps necessary to end these attacks and will use every resources he has to complete his mission. Rest assured he will not rest until the last terriost stronghold and person is destroyed or kicked out of the US."
"Thank you Sergeant for your explanation, we from CNN wish you the best in your efforts to eliminate the Eye of God. Good Luck."
*Sergeant Moore runs off to his squad and moves out*[/I]
New York City, New York
"With the military in full control in New York City, crime has dropped drastically as military squads patrol every street in New York aided by local cops. Bradley tanks, along with the newly created Abrahams have fortified themselves in strategic locations to respond to attacks with speed and accuracy. The Statue of Liberty, America's icon for freedom has been under increased security, both by land and sea. The Navy moniters every ship that nears Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, and the Army checks every person that steps on and off the boats. Now let us talk with several New Yorkers on this amazing turn of events."
"I am Molly Gordon, and I drive a cab around New York. Concerning this recent military takeover? I think it is actually helping New York, I mean crime is way down, I dont get mugged as much anymore, the only downside is the enormous security measures taken to protect our landmarks, it is hurting our job and economy."
"I am John Goodman, and I am a doctor. I hate this "lockdown", I mean, yes, we are recieving less patients due to a lower crime rate and increase security, but that just means that some hospitals will be forced to shut down due to insufficient patients, I just mine doesnt suffer that fate."
"I am Larry Wheeler, and I work for the Port Authority Police Department. This takeover couldn't have come at a better time, we were swamped trying to protect landmarks and the population at the same time, now with the military here they can take care of this stuff freeing me to spend my times watching for lawbreakers. General Whitemore is my hero, good job General for finally doing what no one else dared to do. Keep it up!!"
Well on that note, we head back to Ashley at CNN Headquarters.
*CNN Theme Music*
One on One with General Whitemore.
Ashley: Glad to have you here with us General.
General: Glad to be here.
Ashley: So General a poll taken several hours ago has prompted us to get to the bottom of this move. Would you like to explain your actions General?
General: Of course, these 'people' who call themselves the Eye of God is nothing more than common criminals who operate on a world stage. Now fighting crime with local law agencies and Federal agents is effective, they will not work on a large scale, they simply lack the coordination and resources to do this. Which is why the former president Langdonstill's actions became failures quickly. Late President Struder has actually taken steps towards a more militaritic state, he was cut down by an assassins bullet before his words became law. Now the Senate following late President Struder's advice have given me my last mission of my career. End the terriost threat once and for all. And I plan to do this to my fullest excent, I will not rest until I personally see every terriosts out of America, I dont care if we lose half of our population or military in the process I will get them out!!
Ashley: Ok, so who holds all the power in the government right now?
General: The Senate is still in charge, I get my orders from them, I am just acting as leader of the nation in her time of need.
Ashley: I see, so you think that by taking control of all the landmarks, national parks, and cities you can kill the Eye of God?
General: Yes, by cutting off their communications network, keep in mind that the communications sattilites are still ours and not theirs, and cutting off their means of transportation and infiltration we can force them into submission. Excuse me a moment... *picks up phone, whispers 'send a team to NASA and moniter all communications to and from the US as well as all communications within the US. Also get in touch with local telephone companies and do the same thing.' hangs up phone* Ok, where was I.... Oh yes, we will be doing one trick that will kill these guys for good once I issue the order. As of right now, the Canadian and Mexican borders are closed to all traffic. International flights are cancelled and grounded until further notice. If businessmen or visitors from foriegn nations are still in the US at this time, they have 2 months to contact the nearest airport and reserve a seat on a plane departing for their various locations, this is a one time event and will not be issued again. All domestic flights and all airports will close down in 4 months unless we start seeing a drop in terriosts activity. Freeways and Interstate travel will be halted in 6 months to minimize traveling terriosts from one state to another. This nation is in full military control as of now. No mercy will be issued or granted from this point on to all terriosts caught. Our soldiers are to kill if someone resists arrest. Thank you.
Ashley: Oh.... well isnt that a bit extreme?
General: We do not win wars by granting some breathing room, we must choke the live out of them. Yes the nation might take a beating out of this, but our economy is strong enough to support this according to experts.
Ashley: I see, well what happens to those who break this law?
General: They will be arrested until proven that they are not a terriosts then released. If they are a terriost then they will be disposed of accordingly.
Ashley: Ok... I think that is enough for now. Thank you for speaking with us General.
General: My pleasure. *Eyes Ashley supscouisly*
