On top of the pile of mail on your desk is a letter made entirely of newspaper cutouts. There are fifty more of these underneath this one, no doubt the standard profanity-laced death threats, but this one is from the editor of The @@CAPITAL@@ Times. @@HE(1)@@ is asking for you to allow @@HIM(1)@@ to publish the manifesto of "the Unibrow", the terrorist responsible for a recent slate of bombings, decapitations, and orders of pineapple on pizza. The Unibrow has promised to cease these activities upon the publication of the essay.

[option] "Extra, extra, read all about it!" calls the bushy-eyebrowed editor of The Times, bursting through the door."@@LEADER@@ can save my paper - I mean, the people - by letting us print this essay! The Unibrow has killed hundreds of people, or at least two, anyway, and that can be stopped right now if @@LEADER@@ just does the right thing!" @@HE(1)@@ finally looks you in the eyes. "You better!"
[fallout] @@DEMONYMADJECTIVE@@ journalists are renowned for their work in terrorism
[option] "We can work this out," your Minister of Foreign Affairs says, before being knocked out cold by a punch from the Minister of Law Enforcement, who is subsequently tased by the Minister of Defense, who speaks on behalf of both ministers: "We can't negotiate with terrorists. But we should strategically tell the enemy that we'll publish it so they send the contents. Then, we can have the linguinists strategically run their tests to match the writing with whatever kook anarchist wrote it. My folks can then take 'em out. Strategically. That's what I call strategery!"
[fallout] @@DEMONYM@@ intelligence agencies scour Max Barry novels to determine whether he could be a domestic terrorist
[option] Another letter composed of newspaper cutouts appears atop the editor's memo. It initially reads as gibberish, which gives away that it is from the Minister of Intelligence. Read backwards, and without all the extra 'q's, it reads: "Am I the only person who finds it suspicious that the editor of The @@CAPITAL@@ Times is buddies with this terrorist?" You notice the phrase "former agent" is crossed out in that sentence. "We need to investigate all these newspapers for their ties to terrorists! Wiretap their editors and hide cameras in their headquarters! Who knows, maybe they're paid by Blackacre!"
[fallout] government agents are paid to connect newspaper cutouts with lines on a drawing board
