â€œGood Morning Plogin City (damn that's a horrible city name) I'm Andrew Nouncer and here are today's top stories...â€<span style="font-weight: bold">*POOF!*</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">â€Damn it! Where did he go this time?!â€<br/><br/>â€œGot a signal putting him back on live.â€</span><br/><br/>The well dressed gray haired and bearded man from before reappears on the screen with a microphone in hand, in the background is the city's stadium.<br/><br/>â€œThe Omni dome prepares to host this year's MMA championship with fighters from all over the known universe coming in to compete. Despite the excitement of the upcoming fights, controversy around some of the fighters and their eligibility to compete has been put into question. One fighter in particular: Tora Ramiel, faces accusations of illegal use of performance enhance magics and drugs. At this time, neither Tora nor her agent have released a statement in response to these allegations and she is currently prohibited from the fights 'pending further investigation'... MEANWHILE.â€<span style="font-weight: bold">POOF!</span>The man suddenly vanishes from the screen once again leaving a confused cameraman and station crew scrambling to find him again.<br/><br/>After a few odd seconds, the screen changes again and Mr. A. Nouncer is show in front of the warehouse district where an inexplicably large number of Paladin soldiers are patrolling.<br/><br/>â€œAs of a few days ago, the Paladins have been arriving in larger numbers and increasing security through out the city. This was in response to a recent announcement by a small archeological team of the discovery of a relic that may date back to the first war against the gods. The specifics on the relic remain a mystery as the Paladins rushed in and moved the artifact to one of the warehouses to be further studied. While this not the first time the Paladins have taken over digs and relic finds related to the wars, citizens still feel the strain as the city is almost put under martial law by all the new security restrictions, check points, and increased military presence. In response to questions about the security, Paladin officials had this to say: 'While the time between the wars and now are significant, some items still pose dangers. Left over weapons, armor, and other such materials must be fully examined, categorized, and demilitarized or, if necessary, even destroyed. We do this insure the safety of all citizens before being allowed into museums or research colleges.' In hopes of speeding up their assessment of the relic or relics, the Paladins have brought in a wide range of experts to aid in studying the items... Unfortunately, still no indication on when the security might be lifted and if anything has only seemed to increase with the arrival of the experts.â€<br/><br/>In the background one of the Paladin soldiers stops and looks at the news man for a moment before starting to approach. The soldier's posture straightens and tightens despite formerly being dragging from the obvious long patrol shift he was doing, his grip on his weapon shifts to a more readily to be used position. â€œHEY YOU! YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE!â€ He yells out to the newsman, who looks over his shoulder at the soldier only to quickly turn back to the camera.<br/><br/>â€œMEANWHILE!â€ and with that word and with signature<span style="font-weight: bold">*POOF!*</span>Andrew Nouncer disappeared once again...<br/><br/>Only to reappear outside the main Plogin City Police Department. â€œIncreased pressure has been put on the PCPD by the Paladins to meet with their new security standards as the current Paladins await reinforcements. With duties of their own and the ever increasing demands by Paladin Command, the PCPD has been shifting a lot of its manpower around from other departments to cover insufficient staff and pushing their officers with longer hours. Some can only wonder: how long can this really last until things finally break? All this and more after the commercial break...â€
