"The Counsel Building has been surrounded, it is currently at a standoff between security forces and the protesters."
"What are their demands?"

The Counsel room is silent for a moment, from a distance a megaphone is heard.
"On behalf of the people and elected leader of the rebellion, I, Lucy Mellon am speaking. If the following demands are not met, we will storm the building by force and dispose of all who reside inside. First the paramilitary forces are unlawful and their subjugation of the people: dispicable, we demand their immediately dismantlement. Second, all military operations and scientific data will be made available to the people. Too many rumors have spread in the past weeks of invading aliens. Such ludicrous rumors have obviously been spread at the convenience of the government and we can no longer trust their word. Thirdly, economic production will be slowed in the interest of environmental protection and preservation, water levels have risen more than a meter in less than a few months and coastal cities have been devestated. Lastly, we demand the immediate resignation of all current counselors followed by ope-"
"*BANG!*"

"Research is complete gentlemen. Afterburners allow for an increase of propulsion of 200%. However, it is recommended that this technology is used sparingly as the fuel consumped is high while in operation. Furthermore, the internal temperature of a ship will increase when used. This mysterious fuel has many unique properties, and can be highly explosive when subjected to extreme temperatures. All ship engines using this are carrying potential bombs, that may detonate if missused.
