Jeff smiled lightly and listened to the background.
"We're live in, Three...Two...One." The person in the back gave his thumbs up.
"Good Evening people of Bretonia, Tau's, and the Omega's. I'm Jeffery Dixon bringing you the free press from around the Monarchy of Bretonia.
Today's topic, Rather a very strange one indeed. It involved one of you're own. Aye, that's right. I was on the job in Leeds last night to get the best and latest in the war against Kusari. Instead of bringing you the normal, We here, at the Bretonia News Service, are bringing you the exclusive stories from both sides of the front. That's right, both sides.
I had the opportunity to visit the front yesterday, it was rather calm for once. A Few pockets of fighting but fighting none the less. Aye, a few hours later, I stumbled right into a group known as the Artisan Farmers Alliance, They where halting trade near the New London to Leeds lane, rather a little far from the front. But no matter, I was taken hostage for about a good hour before they decided that I was a Guest, not a hostage. I was a bit shaken and still considered myself a Hostage until they took me up-to Kyushu.
Aye, that's right. I went to Kyushu, all I can say is...it was beautiful. Now, I have Thirty-Eight recordings and one photo that'll load up in small bits, small sections for you chaps around the Monarchy can listen to and see. I swear on the Queens name that none of this is Political Propaganda."
"Interrupting here for a second. Section Three and four is an Interview between Me and the Emperor himself, I still don't know if I should be honored for such an audience or scared for my life."
"Erm, Interrupting once more. We're sorry for the next few recordings, as it has static in it. We decided it was best not to edit out the static. After all, We're bringing Free Press to you."
"As you can see, somewhere in Sections Three, Four and Five, a message from the Emperor to the Queen and her people. According to the Emperor this war has gone long enough. A Weakness? Maybe. But I do know that our beloved Queen will not stand down, and as long as this war rages, We, here at the Bretonia News Service, will continue to bring you the latest Stories."
"In other news, the former Junker Congress leader, Vladimir Tinkerbell, has renounced his title as Leader, and has stepped down from the plate. To become an Independent. We do not know the the full story behind this at the time but will keep you up to date on the situation, if one develops.
I am, Jeffery Dixon, bringing you the latest news from around the Queen's land. Free press at it's finest.
The Camera's flickered on, and Jeff took his seat. Smiling and watching the count down before they where on air.
"Three, Two, One, we're live."
"Good Afternoon Bretonia! This is Jeffery Dixon reporting with breaking news from the Leeds front.
I was on my way back to the studios when over my ships communications channel a fight going on between the Volunteer Fleet and the Molly Republic. I quickly went to the scene of the fighting despite a Molly threatening my well being.
Although by the time I got there the fight was just dwindling. The Mollys engaged with two gunboats and two bombers while the Volunteer Fleet engaged with one gunboat, one bomber and two fighters. I must say, This fight was rather short. We're currently uploading five still-shots of the fighting."
"However sad, the Volunteer Fleet lost the fight, the Molly Republican ships stood until the bitter end, the losses on the Volunteer Fleet's side is One Gunboat, Two Fighters, and One Bomber. It is confirmed that all the pilots have ejected and where safely picked up on Durham.
In the near future we will be having an interview with three, or four of the Molly Republics Leaders. Now, this is where you the viewer can send in Questions you want answered. Feel free to send them to the Bretonian News Service private box, where 10 questions will be selected and asked during the Interview.
I am Jeffery Dixon with the latest news and interviews straight from around the Queen's lands.
Long live the Queen, and Goodnight."
"And...we're off."
Jeff sighed lightly and leaned back "This is one helluva two days I've had."
Jeff chuckled lightly to himself as he took his seat once again in the chair. He cleared his throat and smiled.
"Three, two, one...show time."
"Greetings once more Bretonia. I'm Jeffery Dixon, bringing news from all around the Queens land to you.
Tonight, we have an interview with Commander Blake Owen, a Commander in the Armed Forces, I caught him on the way to Cambridge, and decided to get an interview done. We have Fifteen Audio recordings for you to hear. They've already been uploaded, Now ready to play for you. The people."
"That was Mr. Blake Owen, Commander in the Armed Forces, and his views on the current war."
A female walked up next to Jeff and whispered something in his ear, he nodded.
"Ah! This just in, It seems the Armed Forces under the Command of Fleet Admiral Percy Nelles, who was commading the Isaac Brock, The Kent, and the Fearless, along with Lieutenant Austin Goodmen, and a Freelancer, have successfully raided and attacked Stokes. Causalities on the Armed Forces side, Zero...while the Naval Forces have lost several fighters, Gunboats, Destroyers, and two Battleships in the attack.
We don't have any live feed to show you but it seems they just returned from the attack on Stokes. It's also reported that Stokes lays heavily damaged. Our analyst team suggests the damages done to Stokes will take Kusari two to four weeks to repair completely.
Seems our boys are still pushing for a victory on the home front. May the Queen guide them.
I am, Jeffery Dixon, bringing you news stories and interviews from around the Queens land. Long Live the Queen, and may she guide our men in this time of need.
And now to the show you all been waiting for, Isolation, only on Channel 34, the Bretonian News Service!"
The Camera's cut and Jeff looked over at the women who came over and shook his head. "Should of been out there..."
Today is the launch of the Beagle III, a research vessel commanded by Professor Raven Smith. The Research Vessel will travel far out side of House space in search of Dam'Kavash structures for research. The Vessel is a modified Percheron. The crew however is a small crew consisting of 10."
The Bretonian Government has paid for funding on the vessel itself. They have also given it a set course to which it will follow. However the course is classified for safety of the crew and research equipment. The Bretonian Government wishes that enemies of Bretonia will leave this research vessel alone, as the crew are all civilians, that have no importance to pirates or Kusari."
"Strangely enough however, the Captain and lead scientist of the Beagle III is a former Independent Scientist in Xenobiology, a Professor at Cambridge University.
HMS Beagle III is said to have already been launched from Cambridge earlier today. Where it will begin it's first expedition of isolation, for exactly one year."
"That's today's breaking news, I'm Jeff Dixon reporting live from Houston where I'm on assignment to cover the Lib-Rhein war. This is the Bretonian News Service, bringing news to you."
"Good morning, Bretonia. This is Jeff Dixon reporting live."
"Following in a news report later will be an update in the Lib-Rhein war. But, we'll leave that for later."
He cleared his throat, and went to a more serious tone.
"It has been confirmed that Admiral Aubrey Mainwaring, recruitment officer for the Bretonian Armed Forces, is dead. What has not been confirmed is on the motivations, whether it was suicide or something else. The Armed Forces, Fleet Admiral Percy Nelles doesn't wish to comment on the subject. The entire Armed Forces is feeling the loss."
He coughed lightly.
"In other news, piracy is on the rise in the Omega's. Corsairs are now bringing in Gunboats. It is advised that all traders, trading between Rheinland and Bretonia, are to contact officials from both houses if any problems occur. It's also advised that you do not take matters into your own hands. If you do, hire an escort. With the increasing piracy in the Omega's and the death of an Admiral, it seems Bretonia is still holding strong.
Fleet Admiral Percy Nelles didn't wish to comment on the rising piracy in the Omega territories."
He sighed lightly,
"This is Jeff Dixon, reporting in from New London, bringing you news from around Bretonia and further."
"And cut. We're off the air."
Jeff shook his head. "Bloody early for a news report isn't it?" He said walking away.
Jeff smiled lightly as the "On-Air" sign turned on.
"Greetings Ladies and Gentlemen from around Sirius. This is the Bretonian News Service, bringing you a surprising Media coverage."
"Sources inside the Bretonia Government have told the Bretonian News Service that Her Majesty will be visiting Rheinland for talks.
The Royal Liner, dubbed 'Queen Carina', after the Queen herself, will be carrying the Queen and many of the Official Royals. As of right now we do not know when the delegation will be leaving Bretonia. However, we will keep you up-to-date on the situation as the story develops."
"I'm Jeffery Dixon, reporting live from Studio 34, Planet New London."
The "On-Air" sign turned off and Jeff removed his mic. He got up and walked off the stage.
