BREAKING NEWS - DEVELOPMENTS IN PENNY SAGA

Postby Ursidae » Tue Apr 21, 2020 12:34 pm

"We interrupt our scheduled programming to bring you breaking news - we go live to Asia, where a press conference is about to begin regarding the disappearance of The Black Hawks' bot - Penny 2.0"

Image



--Camera centres on podium as a mysterious figure approaches--

"Good afternoon, Hawks, Ladies, Gentlemen & other assorted creatures. Yes, it is I; Bearlock Holmes. I come before you today to make two announcements - first among which, is that I have been asked by Penny's father; Ever-Wandering Souls, if I will lend my expertise to the case of his missing daughter. I am happy to announce that I have accepted his invitation and intend to begin work immediately."

Image
Detective Bearlock Holmes poses for the assembled press

"Secondly, in that vein, I wish to announce that we have agreed on our first and foremost suspect at this current juncture, and believe the time is right to make this information public."

--The Detective, ever one for dramatics, pauses to build tension--

"Our suspect.. is none other.. than the Flag Thief!"

--Audible gasps break out amongst the gathered press, Hawks & residents of Asia--

"Indeed, okay, settle down please... Thank you. As I am sure you might expect, I have been following this case with interest since the very beginning. For someone to sneak Penny out from right under The Black Hawks beaks would require the utmost skill, precision and calm under pressure. Certainly, there are very few people that could manage to pull off a plan as devious as it is heinous, but more than that; even fewer people could manage to keep Penny hidden once they knew she was missing."

"While most of you and the NS world was preoccupied with the ongoing search in Asia, I had my attentions elsewhere. From out of nowhere the Flag Thief returned at almost the very moment Penny went missing. A curious coincidence, were I to believe in them. The thief, has spent years stealing the flags of the most revered, experienced and feared players in the game, all the while evading capture and concealing their identity. A person of interest for that alone. But more than that! Almost immediately upon their return they pull of no easy feat - they stole... Jakker's Mojo! The coincidences abound until there can be no other other conclusion than that this.. Flag Thief, must know something, and must be involved in Penny's disappearance!"

--The Decective pauses for applause, although none is forthcoming--

"This person is a master of evasion and disguise so the hunt will not be easy. But rest assured that we shall follow every lead, every clue and cast an ever watchful eye over the NS verse until this person is found. We have assembled a coalition of allies with one ultimate goal - to bring Penny home. This person is not perfect and under our blistering gaze they will make a mistake, and rest assured, when they do.. we will be on them like a Hawk."

"Nationstates is united in solidarity with the plight of The Black Hawks and their beloved Penny, and so I appeal to all of you; if you have any information, anything at all, regarding the Flag Thief's whereabouts or identity; to contact the Penny Rescue Operation (PRO) here. We are also releasing the below image of the thief's last know disguise, taken only a few days ago."

Image
Flag Thief, pictured above, with Jakker's mojo

"With that all there is that is left to say is - the case is afoot!"

--Almost as suddenly as he appeared, Decective Bearlock Holmes whisks himself off stage and out of a back room with several PRO Hawks in hot pursuit--

I was wondering how long it'd take for someone to notice and comment on this. To be clear however, it was COE's own request to start from the bottom, rather than the current Council dumping him down there.

I never claimed otherwise. Even still, the timing is too suspect to be coincidence.

A Party! And you're all invited!

Postby Aquilanion » Sun Apr 26, 2020 11:53 pm

This major, The Black Hawks decided to hold a little party to celebrate the end of the Asia occupation and decided to invite their friends from the North Pacific! The revelries went on all night, as they sang some classic tunes, out of tune, danced and generally had a good old time.
Unfortunately, the party was sooooo big that we had to spill out across NationStates, causing all manner of havoc. We tipped some sleepy delegates, tagged a few regions and even closed some embassies that had been…bothering us.
If you want to be invited to more of our epic parties, please, come join us!
