<<"Order!!! Order!!!">>

After the shocking news from the diplomatic group in Esthirant, Parpaldia. The United Nations called for an International Assembly to discuss the matter of the execution of more than 200 people onboard the ocean liner SS City of Benares.

The entire UN was outraged and furious; not only had the Parpaldians executed their people, but they were also demanding huge and impossible demands of them. At this point, the International Assembly in Geneva was chaotic.

The speakerman calmed the situation down with hundreds of cameras and microphones all over the chamber. The International Assembly was broadcast throughout the Earthlands and the native countries that allied with the UN.

At the podium, the Executive Secretary of the United Nations, Gladwyn Jebb, stepped in and began his speech.

<<"People of Earthlands and people of this world Yesterday, February 12th, 1941, the passenger liner SS City of Benares was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval forces of the Empire of Parpaldia. The passenger liner City of Benares at the time was on her peaceful voyage to the Kingdom of Awan, with more than four hundred passengers and crews. The naval forces of the Empire of Parpaldia, without any provocation, have attacked and raided the passenger liner City of Benares. The City of Benares itself has evacuated more than one hundred and ten passengers before the passenger liner was ambushed and raided.">>
