Welcome to RTT Evening News For the first time, the Thorin Flight Academy opened it's airfield to the general public and hosted the first annual Thorin Air Show. Their were several demonstrations of Taeunas' aircraft. A second year team demonstrated the incredable attack power of the A-14 Jagatai on scrap metal mock ups of armored vehicles. In four passes, nearly an entire armored battalion was simulatedly destroyed. A team of third and fourth year cadets took to the skies in a squadron of F-29 Tyre fighters and simulated a dog fight for the crowd. The smoke trails and puffs of colored powder paint in simulated missiles made for an incredible show. The last act was a special first look at the new C-43 Dragonwing. Three of them flew in, the first being the AC varient. The guns of the assault aircraft tore up the nearby range with a massive amount of firepower. After what was only seconds, the AC moved off and two regular cargo varients buzzed in. Even before they touched down, the ramps opened. As soon as the aircraft touched down, four vehicles drove out. A Sidewinder FST and a Thunderchild APC came from each. The vehicles circled and set up a perimeter, troops pouring out from the APC's. It was an incredible show of Taeunas combat abilities. President DeSchaine was in attendance, and appeared very pleased with the results. "The skill and dedication of all Taeunasans is evidenced here. Our troops, our workers... this is what makes our nation great. We certainly could be worse, like paranoid royals." A grisley discovery today as the Belfast Garda sifted through what looks like a large scale dumping site for mutilated bodies. Initial estimates put the number of individuals at thirteen, with more probably waiting to be uncovered. "It's highly disturbing." said an official, who asked not to be named. "Male, female, all hair colors, eye colors... there doesnt seem to be a pattern to it." Whats even more disturbing is that there have been no missing persons reports filed on any of the victems. "None of the bodies we've recovered so far matches anything in the system." |

Welcome to RTT Evening News The search continues at a mass grave discovered outside of Belfast. The number of bodies found has risen to twenty, with more expected. The Garda have released some preliminary findings from the medical examiner. The report states that the most recent of the bodies show contusions and abraisions consistant with restraints on the arms and legs. The report also states that the victems were exanguinated in what appears to be a ritualistic killing. Two people are dead after a three vehicle accident near the intersection of M-57 and Shaner Avenue on Sunday evening in Bannockburn. The accident happened around 6:25 p.m. Four people were involved in the crash, Garda said. There were three vehicles, a motorcycle, a pickup truck and a van pulling a trailer. Garda officers told the media that the van carrying the trailer was traveling westbound on M-57 and crossed the center line. It was struck broadside by the pickup truck. Both the driver and passenger in the van were killed. The motorcycle was heading eastbound when it made a quick maneuver to lay the bike down just in front of the accident. The other two people involved in the crash, passengers in the pickup truck, were taken to Spectrum Butterworth Hospital and are being treated for nonlife threatening injuries. The victims names have not been released. BREAKING NEWS We've just been informed by the Belfast Garda that they have raided the compound of a extriemest religous sect. Inside, they found an elaborate altar used for human sacrifice. The mass grave discovered earlier this month was the place where they disposed of the bodies. More on this as it comes in. |

Welcome to RTT Evening News In Belfast today, the investigation started into the raid on a cult compound outside the city. The raid several days ago turned into a full blown fire fight as the Garda entered the main building. The Cultists, armed with Kaidos V-83 light machine guns and Laddneian LASA R590 rifles, were able to stall the Garda. The situation was brough to the attention to President DeSchaine, who gave the go ahead for a single fire team of NoKS armor equipped HCT soldiers to support the Garda on the basis of foreign military grade hardware being used. The five HCT troops were delivered to the site by VTOL and entered through the roof. Once inside, it was only a matter of a few minutes before resistance stopped. Twenty three cultists were killed, another twelve wounded, and six Garda hospitalized with serious wounds. None of the HCT were hurt. As the annual Sléibhte Lárnach Bighorn Sheep lamb count is underway, state biologists are wondering how new program protections for mountain lions will affect the population. The 400 remaining Bighorns, which live in the rocky alpine wilderness of the eastern Sléibhte Lárnach, are one of the most endangered large mammals in the Taeunas. This winter, however, state biologists had to scale back efforts to snare and collar suspected nuisance cougars after a complaint that even those not threatening sheep were being harmed. Now a lion proven to kill bighorns can be shot. But lions can't be snared to collar and track them. Taeunas voters gave mountain lions special protections in 1990. The sheep, with horns that splay sideways, have been listed since 1999. |

The President called for an investigation to explain how military weapons from their nation ended up in the hands of the Woogie Cultists outside of Belfast. Two of the six wounded Garda have been released from the hospital, and the cult members that were captured have waved all pre trial apperances, saying the government of Taeunas has no authority to judge them. The five HCT troopers that took part in the raid after Garda officers were pinned down were awarded the Justice medal by Minister Michelle O'Neill. "These men and women have shown the highest regard for others above themselves. For this, the nation is grateful to know we have such capable and vigilant hero types among us." Cpl. Eoghan Ó Faoláin, leader of the team, and his troops accepted their medals at a ceremony in Belfast. The soldiers made no speech of any kind, but instead went to the hospital and gave their medals to the wounded officers. When asked why, Cpl. Ó Faoláin said only this "It's our job to face fire only when needed. These officers do it every day. They are the true heros." There was a large building fire just outside the Walker City limits at Ottawa Excavators Incorporated Sunday night. Cooper, Marne and Walker fire departments were all on scene. Responders told RTT that the fire started around 8 p.m. Neighbors reported hearing an explosion and when firefighters arrived, a large maintenance building was engulfed in flames. It took firefighers nearly an hour to stop the fire. No one was inside the building at the time of the fire and no one was injured, said responders. The owner of Ottawa Excavators told RTT they had just been on the property around 6 p.m. Firefighters will be on scene well into the night working with a crane to remove debris from the charred building. It will be a year next month since Mark Moore was stabbed from behind at the Sidhe Motel on Alpine and Three Mile Road. It will be at least three more months until Moore's family will learn if they'll get the justice they seek. Their patience is wearing thin. "We are not asking for vengeance. We are asking for justice," said Moore's sister, Stacia Barnes, reading statements from various family members after Friday's competency hearing for accused killer Jack Jacqmain. Barnes and Moore's wife, Jarrin, made the trip from Inishfree to hear whether a judge would order Jacqmain to stand trial for the August 18, 2010 stabbing. Investigators say there was no provocation for the stabbing. Moore, who lived in Inishfree, was in town installing cell phone towers. Jaqcmain, who has a history of mental problems, allegedly stabbed Moore several times in the back. Jacqmain is charged with murder. But a county psychiatric examination determined that, as of right now, Jacqmian could not assist in his own defense. Until that time, there will be no trial. A 2003 article in the Taeunas Criminal Law Annual Journal suggest competency evaluations for suspects only happens in about 8% of felony cases in Taeunas. There is a chance further treatment will work and Jacqmain will be sent to trial. "They find he has exhibited improvement in his mental thought status from the last progress update from March," said Repulic Judge Peter Versluis, reading from a Taeunas National Forensic Center report. National law maintains the trials can continue to be postponed, as long as there's evidence the suspect is making progress. Still, the process can be frustrating for families seeking justice. Justice delayed is not easy to explain to Moore's young daughter. "She misses her daddy everyday," her mother, Jarrin, told RTT. "Mark was murdered on the 18th of August. And there's not an 18th day of every month, every holiday, birthday, ballgame that isn't painful for us," Barnes said. "All we hear is that Jacqmain has his rights. Where are Mark's rights? Yeah, we have a problem with the current laws." The judge ordered another competency hearing in 90 days. |

Welcome to RTT evening news. Residents of a southwestern Ceti neighborhood have taken the law into their own hands with vigilante actions against a man accused of raping a disabled teenage girl, beating him on the street, spray painting his apartment building and forcing him to flee. The Ceti Free Press says a 15-year-old girl with Down syndrome reports the 43-year-old man coaxed her into his apartment in the neighborhood, then raped her. Garda haven't filed charges and continue investigating. The man's name and photo have been circulated in the area. Last Monday, about five people spotted the man out walking and attacked him. He was treated at a hospital and then went into hiding. The word "RAPIST!" has been repeatedly spray painted on the apartments, which have posted a guard. Along the Clan Region border today, more raiders from the clans attempted to cross into Taeunas. The insurgents were driven back by Taeunas troops in the area. Up in the Xaoc Gulf, the navy continues to patrol the waters in defense of Taeunas shipping in the area. To date, several dozens of insurgents have been captured by the Garda and military, and are currently being housed in a special prison set up off shore in an old derelict freighter. In international news, Taeunas has rejected the offer of membership in the GFTECA. This was to to the heavy amount of negative input from our citizens about the possible adverse affects on the Taeunas economy. According to the office of the Taoiseach, the another reason was that the meeting was supposed to encompass much more than just economic areas, but never reached more than that. "This was something unacceptable to the Taeunasan people. So why would we even contemplate it any further?" |

Taeunas' second Heavy Cruiser has been completed. The TNS Tom Clancy was christened today, with the widow of the Best Selling and incredibly prolific author sending the ship into the sea with a bottle of twenty year old Johnny Tarr Elder Reserve Whiskey. The ship is the newest of the ultra modern design. Even in the age of air power, the heavy cruiser still has a place in the navy with its large missile capacity and long reaching Hyper Velocity railguns. While the first ship of the design, the TNS Camulus, only has one of these per turret, the Clancy design was upgraded to house two per turret, doing away with the third gun position altogether. Camulus is expected to receive the same modifications in the very near future. |

The Seanad today passed legislation that has restricted the use of petroleum in plastics. In response to concern over the growing issue of plastic packaging, it was determined that use of bio degradable plastics is a better, cheaper and faster renewing resource. With the amount of corn produced in Taeunas, the legislation makes it illegal to produce and use petroleum based plastic packaging, and makes it mandatory to use Polylactic Acid based materials. The difference between them is very small, and PLA based materials can be formed, cut and processed on the same machines being used for Petrochemical ones. This will have a double effect on the economy. It reduces the consumption of oil for products not used for fuel, thereby reducing gas prices, and will spur a growth in the corn market, both in price and in amount being grown. Over time, this will balance out into slightly higher than current prices. |

TAEUNAS CHANGES CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS! In a surprise move today, the Seanad voted nearly unanimously to change the second amendment of the Constitution. This happened suddenly in response to several court cases and lawsuits by immigrants from other nations that have higher crime rates, as well as a highly vocal minority from the ultra liberal left. The text of the amendment was changed from
to
While a seemingly minor change, the new wording affects most of the cases currently before the court, and according to experts in the legal field, will allow the judges in the cases to throw them out. |

At the Taeunas Shooting Sports Expo in Tara, Spiff Technologies introduced a brand new, unique to the world weapon: the SR-30.![]() The SR-30 is the worlds first "Smart Rifle", utilizing a mounted micro computer sensor system to create a highly advanced and simple to use scope. The scope has the ability to "lock on" to a target, moving as fast as 10 mph, and factor in things like elevation, angle, distance and weather conditions to calculate the aim point. Then a recticle appears on the HUD and the shooter adjusts his aim to match it. The rifle is one unit. This is not some add on kit for other weapons. The rifles are zeroed at the factory and are warrentied for two years or 100 rounds. At 10,000 per unit, its a pricy weapon, but well worth it to turn an average shooter into a true marksman. |

![]() TARA- "It's an absolute outrage." This was the response from Foreign Minister Gerry Adams when asked about the news out of Avelhol. The monarchy there has started a campaign of censorship by arresting over two dozen reporters on trumped up charges. "This is just another example of dictatorship trying to disguise itself under another name. A rose by any other and all that. Taeunas calls upon this farce and pretender Livini to step down and for the immediate release of any and all media currently being held under these bogus reasons. This is a complete violation of the most basic human rights." |

Welcome to RTT. In international news today, a headline from Prismos intoned a refusal to recognise the Republic as an entity. RTT caught up with Foreign Minister Adams after a cabinet meeting. He had this to say: "For some absurd reason, Prismos thinks we need THEIR permission to exist. Nothing could be further from the truth. But yet they're arrogant enough to ignore our centuries of history and think the world seeks their judgement over us. HA! This very issue was just brought up in the cabinet meeting, and it was decided that we will put a motion before the Seanad to recognise Prismos.... as a rogue state." "What does that mean, Minister?" "It means we see them as criminals. Pirates. Thugs and hooligans. Should they come anywhere near the Republic, they will be dealt with. And Taeunas does NOT send letters of protest where our security is concerned." And there you have it. A strong warning for the rogue state of Prismos. This is RTT. |

Welcome to RTT evening news. Following the remarks from Prismos today, the motion introduced in the Seanad to declare Prismos a rogue state passed without a single vote against. From there, the bill was sent directly to Taos. DeSchaine's ofice where it was signed without question or hesitation. This action closes Taeunas airspace and waters to all Prismos craft and ships, which must now stay at least twelve miles of the Republics coast line. According to Defense ministry policy, any incursion will be met with verbal warnings, warning shots, and lastly, possible use of lethal force. |
