(( Apologies for the delay, this should have been posted Thursday morning but I've been otherwise engaged, it will read as if that's when it was posted. And Oops! Posting it to the wrong section to moved it here where it belongs! Fiction coming SOON™ ))

As the music faded, the newsreader shuffled the papers on his desk and looked intently into the camera, "Good morning, news reports are coming in of a large explosion which occured in the early hours of this morning in Hutchinson Park, Founders Falls."

"Emergency services where quick to respond, only to find a large crater deep amongst the hills and the remains of a network of tunnels."

As the newsreader continued, the scene shifts to an ariel view of a smoking crater deep within the hills, nearby trees were knocked aside and some smoke was still rising, obscuring the center of the crater. A large number of PCPD vehicles could be seen dotted about the site.

"Eyewitnesses reported seeing a bright flash in the hills and a huge cloud of oily smoke rising from the site of the explosion; tremors from the shockwave were felt as far away as Williams Square."

"As yet, the cause of the explosion remains a mystery but some reports indicate than an abandoned Council installation was known to be in the area involved. Anti-Council protesters have already begin to congregate near the site of the explosion bearing placards denouncing the Council."

As he spoke, the camera scene shifted to a ground view of a small group of protesters holding placard and chanting, "The Council are no good, the Council are no good."

After a moment, the scene shifted back to the newsreader, "Investigations are continuing and we hope to have more information as it becomes available. We now return you to your regular programming, this is Mark Hanson, for Paragon News."

Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
