West Basilicus taken

...continued from here

MONTREAL - As a result of the terrorist activities in West Basilicus yesterday, a war consultant, Martin Chasen, was brought into advise the president as well as Cmmdr Cytos Amoebos.

"Our plan is to send in a few special shock troops from the top and bottom, crushing them. With the extra aid of the Neupogen fighters, they should make short work of the insurgents. There's a possibility that fighting continue after 24 hours, but that will never happen."

Nine hours later the insurgents had not only completely taken over northern West Basilicus, but their activities caused major environmental damage. Flooding and swelling of rivers and tributaries was experienced from West Subclavia to the Southern Left Arm. Residents are outraged.

Other consultants were brought in later that evening to try to quell the situation, and they were more realistic.

General Robert Lalonde says, "As with most modern terrorists, we don't know who they are or exactly how they are pulling off these attacks. Our initial response is to send in some specialized tactical groups to assist the Defence Force. We'll get a better idea of what we are up against after that."
