[Unknown Female Voice]: "Recently, the public has had many questions for the NWA, and people are growing increasingly concerned due to their continued silence. Some are even calling for government officials to step in. How do you think this most recent incident will play into this?"

[Unknown Male Voice]: "Hahah, I'll stop you right there, Maya. Do you really think this event will change anything? No, it's just another example of the Army trying to blow something out of proportion and blame it on the NWA. I, for one, am not going to fa—"

[Multiple Unknown Voices] "Outrage against the NWA was sparked this week after a series of crimes committed by high-ranking wardens were found to be swept under the rug. These events culminated in the apparent lack of communication between the guild dispatched by the Association, resulting in two victims as the guild failed to correc..."

[Angry Unknown Male Voice]: "You think they don't know, people? You really think they don't? Look, I've been broadcasting for how many years now? And I've been saying the same thing the entire time: the NWA is planting these rifts to destabilize the country. How long are we going to sit here and let these people get away with it? They are in control, people, wake u..."

[Chipper Unknown Female Voice]: "Yo, thanks for joining me, guys. I'm here on the ground live at the site of the recent rift incident. Yeah, you can still see the rift which touched down over there. Apparently, it got clocked as a g2. I know, right? Big deal, right? But heard there's two people in there. Thing is, one's some army poster boy, huh? Oh yeah, no word on any guilds being dispatched by the NWA, so sucks for them, I guess. Yeah, I bet that's going to go over wel..."

"Turn it off."



Those three gruff words came from inside the luxurious meeting room as an imposing man, who perhaps would look quite at home in a battlefield but looked completely out of place there, walked into the room, running his hand along the wooden conference table. In a single motion, he took his seat and placed a small mountain of papers onto the desk.

Opposite him sat a pretty young woman dressed in a suit, nodding her head, her face filled with concern while quickly reaching for something. A slight sound was heard as a button on a nearby remote shut down the TV.

[Unknown Female Voice]: "But, sir, we really do need to give a public response about this. Just today, I've gotten more than twenty-seven requests for comments by media outlets, who aren't satisfied with the boilerplate answers anymore."

The man only nodded his head slightly, his grizzled face covered in scars staring out into space. Making a slight frown, he placed his hand on the stack of papers as he looked at the woman.

[Unknown Male Voice]: "Guild M... No, Selene, what do you think would happen if I gave a response to this? If I said we don't know what the hell is going on there and had no current plans on how to fix it, do you think that would solve anything? Or would it be better if I said we had everything under control, so those mongrels over at the Bureau of Defense could breathe down my neck? sighs Never mind, just tell me the report."
