INN Special Report:
Reporting from Urban City is Vance Gobsmack.
"It has just been announced moments ago that all fighting has ceased in and around the Dominion of Incredible Evil. It has been confirmed that forces from Jonasium, Matrix Theory and Stevski have accepted the surrender of the remnants of the Evil army which had been reduced to scattered pockets of largely ineffectual resistance. As reported... wait a moment! The Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff have just emerged from the Federal Building!"
Chairman JCS: "We only have a few moments to answer your questions."
Reporter 1: "General, what truth is there to reports that as a last-ditch effort the Evil military launched nuclear missiles against our nation?"
Chairman JCS: "They attempted to breach our missile defenses by taking out the satellite basis of our defense network, but were unsuccessful. This was apparently their last throw of the dice. Strikes against Matrix Theory were similarly repelled by their own ABM systems, and we attempted to shield Jonasium and Stevski as much as possible. We were largely successful."
Reporter 2: "Minister Zigman, have you heard whether or not the Master of Evil has been located?"
Minister of FA: "Not to my knowledge. As far as we can tell, his forces surrendered without authorization from him. His generals took it upon themselves to end the war when it became clear that their cause was hopeless."
Chairman JCS: "For all we know, he could be locked in an underground bunker somewhere, fantasizing that the war is still going on."
Reporter 3: "What was the motiviation to get involved in this conflict in the first place? Our stated policy was non-involvement."
Minister of FA: "As long as the conflict remained a conventional one, that policy was valid. Once The Dominion decided that nukes were a good idea, there was no profit to be had by inaction."
Reporter 4: "Now that we own the rights and properties of The Dominion as a result of a hostile takeover, how can you justify leaving the occupation of Dominion territory in the hands of others?"
Chairman JCS: "We consider it an investment in the future. We have no intention of holding on to the properties obtained, as their intrinsic value is quite limited. The goodwill to be had by hastening the end of this conflict promises greater profits in the future."
Minister of FA: "That's all the time we have for now."
"The Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff are now returning to the Federal Building. We will continue to keep you updated on the events as they unfold. For now, the conflict seems to be at an end, though the Master of Evil is still at large.
"For INN, this is Vance Gobsmack reporting from Urban City."
