"We interrupt this coverage to bring you a Report from our Colonial Correspondent, Jessica we hear things are going rather strange over in those borderworlds."
"Indeed they are, to recap a military official has Just taken control of the Colonial government under Martial law after deposing the current leadership. He is about to make a statement to all of the Reporters gathered here, both for the local colonial news and that of the CNS. Oh hold on here he come now."
The Room silenced as a middle aged man walked into the room, the camera zoomed in on his face which was littered with many scars. He was rather tall and had slightly longer hair than most of the career pilots that surrounded him. It was combed in such a way to hide a large scar which was barely visible on the side of his face.
He Stepped forward towards the mic and it was clear that he was flanked by four guards.
"Hello, and thank you for coming. Now i normally make a point not to come into the spotlight. For those who do not know me i am Fleet Admiral Meek, in Supreme Command of the Colonial Fleet, that is Fleet not Colonial Military. Now i have prepared a statement which i believe will sum up the action of the past several hours.
It has come to my attention that there has been a few changes around here, very drastic changes. To investigate why such vast changes took place so quickly i decided to look into the affairs of the people who made them. I now have several shocking discoveries to share with the Colonial News Service, as well as the news services at large throughout Sirius. This will be of particular intrest to the Corsairs and Outcasts, not to mention the Kusarians. It has come to my attention that there has been funds diverted from Colonial Military budgets and the taxes of the Colonial People themselves. Diverted to the Bank accounts of President Alexander Wingates and Prime Minister Lampkin. We have also seen anomalies in these accounts which may seem to be bribes. Possibly from these smugglers who we now day to day are forced to let slip through our grasp.
As I myself had served under the President for Many years while i served in the military. I have been left thinking to my self. How is it possible that one of the greatest heroes of the Colonial Nation can become one of it's worst tyrants. It also made me wonder how Lampkin, a man that none of us knew except the President himself until recently was able to rise to the Position of Prime Minister, a position only rivaled by the President in the politics and myself in The Military.
The most tyrannus thing however. Was no refferendum on the Outcast treaty. As this is an affront to Colonial politics as a whole and to the trust of the Colonial nation. This was a clear violation of colonial law. This is of major concern and i am sure that it will be adressed by the next government. However i will not make a move on this myself as it is of course impossible for one man to make a decision for all of the people under Colonial Rule. I would however stress that a refferendum will likely be held on the subject to determine it's fate.
I will now finally have to come to the conclusion that most of the men in the democratic system of our government have been corrupted by this scheme. Therefore I had no choice to do with the backing of the Colonial people, and the Backing of my military forces to depose these tyrants from office and to move into the Position of Martial Law until a New President and Prime Minister have been elected. The Two Battlegroups Including my own that are on course for the soon no longer to be President and Prime Ministers' lavish cruiser the Colonial One. Thier days of leading the Colonial People is at an end. It is time to get some new democratic peoples into command. As well as make sure that such things can never happen again. I hereby finish by saying. For those we left behind. However one last thing. I will keep the status quo until the new government is elected. I will hand over power to htme when it is done.
Thank You all and there will be no questions for me."
The Fleet Admiral Walked out of the room followed by his four guards.
The Reporter now moved back into shot of the camera. "Now that was apparently the elusive Fleet Admiral Meek. We had been trying to get an interview with him for a while now but he apparently isn't the one for that sort of thing and still isn't. This is Jessica Dawson reporting live from the Ceremonial Hall on Minato Harbour, Tau 44."
