  • SS thwarts attempted assassination!

    Tassagrad Weekly
    Following a tip from an unnamed, reliable source, Shadow Service agents, led by the heroic Meshelic thwarted a diabolical scheme to assassinate newly elected President MrWhereItsAt and prominent members of his cabinet, one of whom barely escaped with his life.

    The would-be assassins, who are now incarcerated and under heavy interrogation at Shadow Service headquarters in Tassagrad had been caught in the audience at the President's inauguration, brandishing weapons that have been traced back to the French city of Rheims.

    In a statement to the press, Captain of the Guard Meshelic commented that "What we have found out is that these 'Frenchmen' sought to kill the President in retaliation for previous Apolyton victories in France years ago."

    The French government refused to comment other than to request release of the prisoners for prosecution under French law. No word on when or if the Shadow Service plans to release them, as they will be held indefinitely until the S.S. has finished their questioning.

    "I believe that it is not entirely impossible that these would-be assassins were sponsored by the French government to prevent the upcoming war that so many of our citizens have been calling for." Meshelic stated for the record. "It was fortunate that we got there in time."

    The Shadow Service remains to be the foremost protector of the President and the most elite espionage unit in the world.

          The first American war had an angle to it

          the first French war had an angle to it

          the Persian war just happened (and i suppose angles were thrown in?)

          We are a global leader. France is piddly. In any case, our leaders have been plotting against theirs much longer than the other way around.

          I believe this Tassagrad rag to be nothing but war propaganda, and false!

              Understood and I knew that as I wrote it. If we are going to war anyways then what is the problem with adding a little roleplay to the game? Man I didn't think having fun with something that was already set in stone was such a big problem. Obviously to you it is.

              Perhaps next time I'll instruct my agents to look the other way when they try to assassinate you

                  *Official Presidential spokesperson takes the stand

                  The President is preparing a speech on this matter and will respond to the press' questions in due time.

                        followup in the Tassagrad Weekly
                        The Minister of City Planning was quoted as stating, "We we're lucky that they haven't gotten any of the new Gunpowder Weapons". He further repied with, "If this was an attempt by the French government, they should have waited, as they now have the new technology. They just need to aquire the needed Saltpeter Resource to make it effective". For the readers Information, France has two of the vital Saltpeter deposits, but have not attempted to make it readly available to their nation.

                            "The unprovoked and brutal attacks on the Executive and Cabinet are despicable acts. Not only will the perpetrators be prosecuted to the fullest, but the root cause of this problem will be dealt with. While I have always been a fan of the French culture, this latest attempt on our lives, mine included, is unforgivable. I am taken aback and utterly ashamed of the condust of Joan of Arc. I'm throwing my full support into efforts to rectify this injustice done to us."

                              Official MoS Statement

                              We in the cabinet are all outraged and dismayed at the most recent attack on our grand republic. All of our thoughts are on the situation. It is a troubling thing to think about what might have happened had these devious French succeded. We expect a full apology from the government of France, and a promise to crack down on these terrorist scum, without delay.
