TV: With no NEWS from Takahashi-san and ELECTIONS taking place soon, the party REVEALED the identity of his SUBSTITUTE -- ex-lawyer and right-hand man of the CEO during his CAMPAIGN. Though his POPULARITY does not compare to his predecessor, a recent SURVEY gives him a slight ADVANTAGE over his political rivals. An ENCOURAGING result for his SUPPORTERS.
TV: DOUBLESPEAK is -- without a doubt -- the commissioner's SIGNATURE. During the press CONFERENCE, the officer-in-chief shamelessly AVOIDED every question about the Sukunah INCIDENT, the strike at the DOCKS and the Shinto Temple BREAK in. Journalists have been quite VOCAL about such a BEHAVIOR as the population is on the verge of PANIC. His non-verbal COMMUNICATION was very revealing, however.
TV: We REPORT sixteen employees KILLED during the terrorist ATTACK, three left in critical CONDITION by the harbor EXPLOSION and a shrine guardian RECOVERING from severe INJURIES. We were also INFORMED that two POLICEMEN are still MISSING and their family CONCERNED about their well-being since the AUTHORITIES have yet to SHARE any details about the EVENTS leading to their DISAPPEARING.
TV: I do believe that HISTORY tends to REPEAT itself. People still REMEMBER the Tokyo Subway Sarin ATTACK which occurred thirty years ago -- a group of delusional FANATICS willing to make a POINT and impose their DOCTRINE on the world. Five thousand VICTIMS had to pay the price. I'm not the only one in town FEARING that similar events have been set in MOTION recently.MAEDA: I can't BELIEVE I'm still ALIVE -- earthquakes turned the ROADS into death TRAPS.
MAEDA: Shock absorbers are DEAD and there's not much PAINT left on the BODYSHELL.
MAEDA: So much for DREAMING of a vintage CAR.
MAEDA: I'll CONTINUE on foot --
MAEDA: -- See if I REMEMBER what I learned in the SCOUTS.
MAEDA: I may lose SIGNAL up there --
MAEDA: -- Send BACKUP if you don't HEAR from me before DAWN --
MAEDA: -- Though one more OFFICER going missing won't make much DIFFERENCE.
