Russia Today - Live Interview with Russian President
”General Secretary, do you have anything to say to Tehran?”
”Thank you, yes I do. Or rather, the Soviet Union does. Listen closely. You have reneged on our agreements, reached in good faith. You have shut down your pipelines and attempted to murder our diplomats. You are the running dogs of the Capitalist West.”
”Listen well. You shall commit to re-open the pipelines. You shall commit to return to the agreed upon deal - with further concessions to be set. You will concede to the presence of a security force to be stationed in Tabriz.”
”Agree to our terms, or know the full displeasure of the Soviet Union’s power.”
In a statement released three hours later the Russian Federation Premier apologises for the President’s outburst and declares that he will be taking a leave of absence after suffering extreme stress.

Dozens of Millenniarist Cults have begun to gather in Baltimore, squatting in abandoned buildings, dealing a new strain of drugs and pamphletting across the city. Although initially the Police and National Guard were ordered to stop them, increasing levels of fraternization and even reports of shared drug-taking caused Mayor Petrelli to order a hard limit on contact with the vagrants and gang-members.
Increased violent crime, murders and assaults, are meanwhile being reported across the state of Maryland, linked with ‘cultic ephemera’. Rumours on twitter and tumblr begin to spread, recounting low, steady chanting - repeated verses. Soon posts begin to provide elements of the whole and a search term The Subharmonic Murmurs of Black Tentacular Voids.
“It is with a heavy heart that I am now declaring a State-wide state of emergency. With the increased violence in Baltimore and the defection of nearly fifty National Guardsmen to the rioters I am forced to call in the CDC and impose mandatory curfews in all urban centres.”

Chambéry Private Hospital - Internal Memo
“Staff are reminded that Baron Otto von Wurmbrand will be visiting the hospital at 2pm today and consequently that all work-surfaces must be tidy, all uniforms cleaned and starched and the highest professionalism maintained at all times.
It is further noted that as a peculiarity of etiquette dating back to the founding of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, individuals do not bow or curtsey in the presence of the Baron, but instead should lift their chins and bare their throats as a sign of respect. Any staff member failing to comply with this minor courtesy will be required to apologise to the Baron privately after the visit and will receive a written warning.”
Analysts are raising warning over the state of the nuclear fusion plant under development at AEF. While the project is providing promising results the escalating national security conditions worldwide have placed their funding in danger. More concerning is the alleged divisions within the project, with anonymous sources claiming paranoia and fractiousness have pulled apart the research team; allegedly, some of the principal investigators have repeatedly come to blows. Some observers are speculating that this might be the end for the project that only a few months ago promised to be the jewel in European science's crown.
