News updates arrive at all workstations, and the Televisions that are littered throughout cabal turn to Channel 808. A man was there.
"Good morning, Territory 259. It's been a while- the attack on the station by the scorpions caused significant damage but, repairs are complete, and we are back to broadcasting,,."
The man turned to the camera in front.
"We come back to you with breaking news. Flagrantly disregarding the accords, Territories 2, 71, 75, 76, 81 and 90 have all broken off diplomatic and military ties with the other territories and each other. Sources indicate extensive military build up inside these territories, for what has been called "Defensive measures and exercises". While we ourselves have attempted to make contact with the governments of these territories including one of the Tier 10, Territory 90, we have been referred to released statements by each."
A man in military fatigues, bearing an eye and face path with the number "90" on it in red paint came on the screen.
"Good evening, territories of the accords. I am General Akrin. As you all know, I am the leader of Territory 90. After careful considerations, we of the disbanded territories have decided it is within the interest of our people and our republic to break with the foundation of the accords."
He glanced down at the ground, then back up.
"Our people are young, and just a few short years ago had power as number four in the tier ten. Since then, through a series of trade deals and military conscriptments, our people have fallen to ten. In a couple of months, we'll be out of the running completely. The sanctions placed on us, for our unwillingness to deport our people to cabal has harmed our people irrevocably. After a close, closed door vote, our cabinet and myself have signed into law an action that takes us into unknown waters."
He brought the cane in his right hand over and leaned on it, in front of himself.
"I'd like the territories of the accord to know that we mean them no harm, and have no intent for war. But our stomachs brought on by a long winter have grown hard, and we will take action if provoked. To my people, I know this news comes as no surprise- the people have spoken, and your leaders have listened."
Bringing his chin up, he stared into the camera.
"May the God's have mercy on us all".
With that, it cut back to the anchor.
"No sign yet of action for the territories of the accord. All eyes turn now to Territory 259 and the people of Cabal for next steps. We'll be back tomorrow with more information."
The TV's turned off.
