The scene today is that of devestation here in the peaceful countryside of
New Zealand. Late yesterday, a warship reported to be from Omega Island
opened fire without provocation upon the quiet town of New Bristol.
The valliant defenders of the town responded quickly by firing an Anti-
Ship missile, which the Government of New Zealand denies having stationed
a missile battery in the town. Eye-witness reports that the missle,
after detonating on the ship, had little or no effect on the devestating
firepower hitting the town. Unsubstantiated reports of `fire beings' and
a tornado hint at the use of magic during the conflict.
A town originally of 15,000 people is reduced to an estimated 12,000
with 3,000 left homeless. Property damage is estimated to be in the
hundreds of million New Yen.

The government is demanding UN sanction for reprisal and has activated
the treaty with Australia and New Guinea. Ambasadors from those nations
and represenatives from UCAS and Germany are meeting today at 4:00pm.
With a country mobilizing, the citizens take time to mourn the tragic
loss of life and praise the courage of the defenders of New Bristol.
