VIDEO | THE FIVE O' CLOCK NEWS
[A fan of the 5 o'clock news? Tuning into your favourite drama or sitcom? That's too bad, because the Soviets have something in mind. Abruptly, every single channel will go blank, only to be replaced with a single news channel. Some may recognize Tara Lynn Shaw, the All-American sweetheart from Channel 6 News with tastefully dyed red hair, dimples, and a big old smile. Her usual job is to reassure the American people that everything will be all right, from stories about rescued puppies to stories about heroic nurses going above and beyond the call of duty.
Her trademark dimples aren't on display today; her mood is distinctly somber, and the American flags in the background of her news station have been taken down, the backdrop replaced with a solid red. She stares into the camera, then looks down at the place cards in front of her.]
Good evening, citizens of America. This is the Soviet Union speaking. You have been left to run rampant for far too long, and we have seen great irresponsibility and suffering as a direct result of your actions. It is for these reasons that we have chosen to intervene.
We have established control over Nonah, Heropa, De Chima, and Maurtia Falls. You may not enter, nor may you leave, but you needn't worry. This is but the first step towards a more peaceful world. Provided you maintain the peace, no harm will come to you; you are instructed to simply continue going about your daily lives. You may find this change startling, but we assure you, you will feel used to it soon enough. If you do not maintain the peace, however, measures will be taken, measures that your previous government wholly failed to take.
ImPorts, you are to attend a 5-day Seminar at Cape Canaveral's Royal Mansions Resort beginning tomorrow at 10 AM sharp. This is not negotiable. You will not be harmed, but appropriate measures will be taken should you choose to be tardy or absent. The Porters will be available to you all, Registered or not; there are absolutely no excuses for your absence.
You will be weapons of the United States of America no longer.
[With that, the broadcast comes to a halt. No American news stations will be playing, but all non-topical entertainment will continue playing as normal.]
[OOC: While this post takes place on national television, please feel free to use this post to have your characters discuss this exciting new development!]

[ Because he isn't. The Soviets had declared war; they weren't just going to sit back and leave it at that. ]
If we'd struck back directly after Antarctica, we may have prevented this. We cannot afford to let them have everything their own way! We must fight back!

Common ground? Now, of all times? ]
For once we agree.
The time for diplomacy with the Russians ended when they declared war and kidnapped our people. We need to take the fight to them.
video
[ A general sort of 'you'. ]
But even now, people will tell you that you ought to be the bigger man. You have to be better than them.
video
[ You know, JUST TO CLEAR THAT UP. Just because he's agreeing with you doesn't mean he has to do so gracefully. ]
But the time is gone for all of that. I don't care what makes anyone feel better. We weren't prepared for this, and we should have been.
video
When has there ever been precedent for something like this? An occupation on enemy soil? Even I'm not that brave.
But just for the record, I had to hurt my fellow imports because they were protecting Russians. Just saying. It would have been much better just to turn me loose, let me clear up.
video
But I do think it's time we fought. What do you plan to do?

[ Hawke isn't surprised, but, Maker, she had wanted status quo to win out just this once. ]
no subject
[ He's completely unashamed. It's time to stop pretending there was any other way this could go. ]
Can I count on you, Hawke?
no subject
[ That all said... ]
So I rather like our odds. You even had to ask?
no subject
Well, you’re always so keen to tell me you’re not a soldier. I just had to be sure.

Or they may have done this regardless. But I do agree. We will not stand idly by.

What will you do, my Lady?

And how am I to protect you if you are in the field?
[ She should stay safe and let him deal with it. Why does no one he suggests it to ever want to take that option? ]

[ He won't brush her off. Lucy doesn't deserve that. ]
We'll find out soon, I expect.

If there's one thing that makes clear the urgent nature of this situation, it's the fact I agree with you.
Now, the Russians claimed that part of why they declared war was your inability to contain attacks like mine, but how about we show them that I can be a lethal weapon and not just a liability?
video; private
You're not a soldier, Crane. You hurt thousands of innocent people. Do you honestly think I'd trust you enough to take off your reins?
There's such a thing as honourable warefare. Nothing I've seen from you tells me you're capable of that.
video; private
[He sniffs. More of this hypocrisy - as he sees it - and he'll need draw a bath.]
Sometimes we are unable to afford ourselves the luxery of turning away assistance freely given. I would have even asked for nothing in return.
video; private
[ He’s worked with enemies before. He’s worked with Milady de Winter. He didn’t like it, thought they were foolish for trusting her, and personally despised her every step of the way. He is possibly not the best negotiator for this sort of agreement. ]
To terrorise them as you did here? To make them your test subjects?
video; private
Does it matter if I answer yes? The result will be the same. They will know what it's like to be completely afraid. They won't terrorize us again.
video; private
[ He's not hiding his skepticism. There's no doubt that this is not how he wants to fight. ]
Because if I recall, that little experiment ended with you and jail and under my care, not with a horde of frightened natives. Not permanently frightened, anyway.
