Hello, this is Rush Fielding again for News Net. The German armed forces have
removed General Delgado's dictatorship from Omega Island. The memebers of the
old government who did not flee the country have been found dead in the cabinet
room, apparently killed on Delgado's orders. Delgado is now in German custody
pending investigation. He will remain in German custody until an international
court can hear the case and decide upon extradition. It is probable that he
will be extradited to Omega Island for sentencing by the provisional government
once elections are held. To wrap up the story, we have Rob Kelton, live from
Omega Island.

ROB: It has been a hectic three days for Omega Island. Since the German
forces arrived to remove Delgado there has been a festive attitude throughout
the country. The question is, what happens next for Omega Island?
MARCUS: Well, we have set up a provisional government led by myself for the
time being. In the next week we will be holding elections for more permanent
positions, and are in the process of rewriting the constitution set up by the
old government. For now, we have asked the German navy to maintain it's
presence here until the electionas are held. The provisional government is
comprised of myself and key officers of the PLA. We don't expect to be in
power much longer. We have adopted the PLA as a national militia until
electionas are held, at which time the PLA will disband and be incorporated
into the mainstream army.
ROB: You sound as if you don't expect to be elected...
MARCUS: The job I set out to do is finished, the island is free of corporate
servitude. I will not force myself on the people. I will not attempt to take
permanent office unless the people demand it.
ROB: What about the rumors that there is evidence that the old government
staged Delgado's coup?
MARCUS: Well, we find it suspicious that when they fled the country, they took
all of the army's best people and equipment, leaving a force that had no chance
of holding off the Germans. Other than that, we cannot know for sure until
more evidence has been found.
ROB: There is also the issue of the Shadowrunner that was apparently working
with the PLA, the "Dark Elf"...
MARCUS: He came to me and offerred his services. I have in my hands a
contract between Dark Elf and the PLA. He has been paid for his services and
is gone. Aside from that, he has only our thanks.
ROB: Interesting, that contract is for the sum of one nuyen!!!!
MARCUS: He felt that it was a fair price, he refused to accept more.
ROB: Thank you Mr. Marcus. You have made quite an impression on the world,
the best of luck to you in the future.
This is Rob Kelton, signing off. ]<<<<<
