"This is Sam Stoker reporting to you live from the Green Zone at the Leeds-Tau31 jump gate.  Reports have just come in saying Laura Rosalyn, President of the 12 Colonies of Kobol has been assasinated by Gaian suicide bombers on Planet Harris.  Sources tell us the planet is now in lockdown as investigations continue into tracking down the remainders of the Gaian cell that may still be on the besieged planet.

This tragic news comes mere hours after word came in from Cambridge where the Battlestar Galactica was mortally disabled in the Ice clouds outside the omega 5 jump hole.  She remains there listing in the asteroids.  Our sources tell us that an SCRA battlegroup lured Galactica and her fighter escort into the field where they were able to outmanuever her."

We are stunned. The loss of your President is a shocking development, and an affront to caring peoples throughout the Sector. Her loss is unmeasurable, I am sure. We are as surprised by this unanounced move by the Gaians as you are; and we condemn this low and atrocious act.

I am issuing an Episkopal Edict immediately. It is strongly recommended that all previous LDD members who have not already done so divorce themselves from these Gaian murderers immediately. Any further efforts to befriend, educate, or convert these radicals will be anathema to Eris.

Admiral Adama and Ambassador Gideon, our heartfelt condolences. Please advise us if a State delegation would be appropriate at any ceremonies.

Further, all ELF are directed to accept only voluntary donations from CR vessels during their mourning of the President. We have many a greyface to convert elsewhere.

Sincere Condolences,
Malaclypse, Episkopos, POEE (CofE)
