Location: Lunar presidential offices, Arcadia

"Ah, there you are, sir. Care to explain this?"

Petrov Vasev, an older man from the United Kingdom of the Mediterranean, looked at the video the Lunar commander was showing, almost in disbelief. He was hesitant to speak for a moment, but the younger Lunar man stared at him in shock at the situation.

On the screen ahead of them, the video depicted a team entering three Arcadia warehouses. Walking towards the group, former president Aurelia Aquila could barely make out the phrase "raze this entire port..." and the name of the corrupt president who had once again brought the Lunar government to shambles.

"What in the world is going on here?" she demanded as she saw, for the first time, the death of that same former president.

The Lunar Commander in Chief, a man by the name of Flynn Radcliffe, who had led the Lunar military through several wars, spoke up before Petrov or any of the others could even say a word.

"It seems that they have decided to take matters into their own hands — and violate every criminal justice law of this country in the process."

"How did you get this footage?" Petrov asked softly, his blue eyes looking across the room, straight at a younger man by the name of Markos Katsaridis. "Markos..."

"It doesn't matter how we recieved the footage," Radcliffe replied tersely. "What matters is that you can't simply violate our fundamental laws like this. Mrs. O'Keefe and all of her supporters were promised the right to a fair trial by the Lunar constitution-"

"They were traitors to your country," Petrov fired back. "They got what they deserved."

"Sir, with all respect to you and your team, execution has been illegal in this country since the revolution," said Aurelia.

"And where has that gotten you?" a soldier from the UKM asked. "Three former presidents dead? Two civil wars, and almost the start of a third?"

"Alright, everyone calm down," Petrov demanded. "Why don't we discuss this in a more reasonable manner?"

Radcliffe shook his head, livid. "What reasonable manner?"

"Calm down, Flynn," Aurelia warned. "Petrov, Markos, Flynn, to my office. We meet now to discuss how to proceed. The rest of you, don't say a word about this. The moment news of her death gets out, we're screwed. Understood?"

Upon those words, Luna's former president, and its longest-standing one at that, beckoned the three men to follow her into the presidential office, leaving the group of confused and agitated Lunar and Lucraian soldiers behind to question the way things would turn out in the end.

Sorry for the slightly late and probably not very well written bulletin, I'm writing this at 2:30 in the morning because I had too much energy and nothing else to do...
