L.O.D. Leader Identified
L ast night, members of the hacking group “TEH Cr3w”, who wish to remain anonymous, managed to ascertain the identity of the mysterious Legion of Doom movement. After accessing the SCI media infrastructure, they managed to back trace the feed that interrupted last week’s informational broadcast. Over the last week, TEH Cr3w have been working around the clock on their mission while keeping mobile to avoid both Starfisher Coffee’s cybercriminal division and LOD sympathisers. After ceaseless effort, TEH Cr3w determined that the shadowy figure in last week’s broadcast was a man going by the alias “Ghoul”. Ghoul is a well known and highly regarded figure in the hacking circuit with years of experience of managing various movements from behind the scenes while very rarely taking credit. TEH Cr3w claimed that Ghoul exploited a weakness in several of the SCI network nodes. The nodes were apparently left unprotected for brief periods of time as former Gladius region networks were assimilated into Starfisher’s Coffee Initiative’s global mesh. They also claimed that these same weaknesses were what allowed them to back trace Ghoul’s signal. In a statement about the broadcast, SCI claims to "have fortified the exposed network nodes against further hijacking." They went on to say that "Starfisher's Coffee has the broadcast incident under control. [We] do not condone vigilante action to find the culprit". TEH Cr3w has been unavailable for further comment.

No More War To Fight
N ow that the war is over and both soldiers and refugees attempt to return to civilian life, many of them are realizing that they have nowhere to go. Home towns have been decimated and their loved ones killed. As the guns stopped firing, the demand for munitions dropped and many people found themselves without a job. The new SCI government is starting grand projects for the reconstruction of infrastructure around the world, hiring thousands of workers. But it takes time for the population to move from the armaments industry into the building industry, and in that time the people are looking for someone to blame.

The game has changed. Life is no longer who is the better strategist or tactician - it is about who is the better politician.

Gladius Command Receive Trial
I n an attempt to redirect blame from himself, Generalissimus Starfisher ordered War Crimes Trials for the captured members of Gladius Leadership. Despite the Gladius High Command members going into hiding during the final Battle of Mongolia, some of them have been tracked down by SCI Agents. Calloutman, one of Grand Marshall Arcturus' closest advisors, was found in Brazil trying to manipulate local populations to "Rise Against SCI Oppressors". GLD Officers Hitman, ICallIDTheft, and CorranHorn were found liaising with Al Qaeda agents in the Middle East. Hitman shot dead but the others managed to escape after fleeing into civilian areas.

The most important trial of the decade was held at the former UN Headquarters in New York City and aired live worldwide. A one kilometre radius was announced as closed military area and nearly one thousand troops saturated the area. Even with the heavy military presence, people both for and against the trial gathered outside the perimeter. The court blamed the responsibility for the war on Grand Marshall Arcturus, saying that Gladius struck the first blow that ignited the war, and the Grand Marshall gave the order. Arcturus's right hand General Fieldmarshall Calloutman was accused for collaborating in the attack on SCI. They were also charged with all the losses of the war: 32 million lives, large scale war crimes, and the overall destruction and the economic crisis that followed the war.

Both were found guilty of all charges and where sentenced to be hanged until dead. The sentence was to be executed immediately. When the people outside heard of the punishment, riots broke out between those seeking justice and those claiming Arcturus cannot be held responsible for the atrocities which were also committed by Starfisher forces. Military reinforcements arrived on the scene firing tear-gas into the crowd, causing them to disperse. In total, 5 civilans were killed in the riots, and a further 14 seriously injured.
