Breaking news, this just in! John London Reporting! The Crayter Republic and Bretonia save the day yet again! After liberating Gallic child refugees from life in Orkney they are working on ending the hunger and struggle of Ice Storage workers in the Inverness system. A high-level Crayter Representative was bragging "We care about the environment. Ice is extremely dangerous, and its mining and storage have to be regulated. We can't just let people not associated with our Republic or the Houses touch ice willy-nilly can we? Those miners and warehouse workers were having a tough life anyways, I believe we shouldn't stop at killing them, we should find their grandparents, children, and distant relatives so they don't struggle either!"
A BIS agent on the scene happily agreed with Crayter's stance: "Those aimless filthy independent world undesirables just stand against the order. It is us, the Houses, that must bring peace and prosperity to all ends of Sirius, no matter the cost, with our warships, until all bases belong to us and those unattached so-called "independent" animals are either wiped out or under our benevolent leash!
