TPN 6pm Bulletin, Saturday 21st August 2010

"And now some news involving our own reporter, Natasha Sheers, and two brave members of Power Division. Over you to, Natasha." Thomas Dale smiled, before looking away from the camera to the live feed cutting in.

"Thank you, Thomas." Natasha smiled. Miss Sheers was dressed in a stylish suit, her light brown hair left to flow over her shoulders and back. "Today, I was here at the Imperial Information book store with excited viewers, hoping to win a very rare copy of the latest biography of Emperor Cole, signed by the very great man himself. Sadly, terrorists felt this gathering in the hopes of getting the signed book, or purchasing their own copy, was something to loathe."

"With malicious intent, they attempted to storm the building to get the copy, and destroy it in front of our cameras, as some depraved stunt of mad minds. It was lucky for me, for the book, and for the people in attendence that two brave members of the Powers division were here to step in."

The footage cuts away to that of a rather shaky viewpoint as the cameraman scrambles back to keep filming, attendees scattering trying to get clear of the terrorist menace. Armed with high tech, illegal munitions, they start securing entry points. A burst of non-lethal energy weapon fire bowls over one advancing on Miss Sheers, several robots dropping into view along with a man in white armour. Carefully, he starts taking shots from a laser rifle, as his droid support provides covering fire. With their attentions diverted, a very short young woman in PPD uniform barrels through the doors and starts easily taking on the rest.

The woman, identified by TPN as Special Officer Maxi Pound, easily fighting off Resistance members armed with exo-skeletal arms. As several attempt to grab her, she easily overpowers them and throws them to the ground, before using force-bands to handcuff them. Her small size is more of an advantage than a disadvantage, easily taking people out by the legs and zooming around on an energy field emitted from her boots.

The man, Doctor Zahir Rolando, stays out of close quarters, but appears to be using his robotic back up to great effect, along with various tools from force barriers to web grenades to further restrain Resistance members. The information bars make great reference to his robotic legs, citing his fighting crime after losing them in a terrorist bombing of a restaurant.

With the criminals subdued, the pair start checking on the crowd, even as Miss Sheers heads over to thank them. The footage cuts back to Natasha.

"Sadly Zahir and Maxi were too busy working on making sure the terrorists were turned over to the authorities to stop for an interview, but I would like to thank the pair of them for their actions that ensured that the event could get back under way again. I certainly hope that this crushing defeat of an act of terrorism puts second thoughts in the minds of the sad criminal element, that seek to disrupt and destroy the peace we hold dear. I'm Natasha Sheers, and it's back to Thomas in the studio."
