A City on Her Knees

Extra! Extra! Aphids Attack!

After weeks of planning, Aphids launched a major military campaign against Capital City, killing millions and bringing the city to her knees. The world-renowned Capital City skyline exists only in memory as communication systems, trade routes, sewer systems and power grids were completely demolished throughout the entire Federal District. The southern industrial park was the hardest hit and experts predict weeks before crews will be able to clear the rubble from the country’s once-vibrant heart of production.

Inside sources tell the Ivy Star that Aphids had been planning this attack for years from the Palm Beach region of the Southern Trades. Government officials were aware of heightened Aphid chatter, but had no credible knowledge of specific terror plots.

At 7:00pm tonight the Ivy National Guard launched a counterattack with special Ortho parachute troupers, who will hopefully be able to infiltrate many Aphid strongholds by morning. The National Guard expects to regain control of Capital City by the week’s end.

Fortunately, the Aphids were unable to penetrate the Western Isle and the Eastern Colony’s superior naval defense system. However, as a precautionary measure Ortho Paratroopers have been deployed nationwide.

Generation Bob, you have way too much time on your hands. You should spend it at my *nifty* housewarming party tonight.
