[desc] Last night, cleaners working in @@CAPITAL@@ Central Train Station discovered a bomb hidden in one of its many dustbins. Following this shocking discovery, a sweep of the capital was conducted, and illegal weapons and explosive devices were found to be concealed in a large number of trash cans. @@NAME@@'s citizens are starting to panic in light of the revelation that terrorists could have successfully launched a massive coordinated attack if not for the chance discovery of the items.

"Imagine the chaos that would have ensued, had the terrorists actually carried out their plans! We must ban the use of garbage cans and step up police patrols in densely populated areas."

[option] "That's preposterous!" blusters @@RANDOMNAME@@, a cleaner, whilst emptying your wastebasket. "That would inconvenience the public, and most importantly, having to clear all the litter on the streets would make our jobs ten times harder! A simpler solution would be to hire more cleaners, so that dustbins can be cleared more often. All opaque dustbins should also be replaced with transparent ones, making them easier to examine."

[option] "Did you ever stop to wonder where all of those contraband munitions came from in the first place?" questions @@RANDOMNAME@@, a military analyst, handing you a stack of case files. "I did, and considering the fact that the majority of those weapons are standard-issue Blackacre Military Assault Rifles, it's pretty obvious who the culprits are. I say that we return the favour by blowing up their trash cans. Covertly, of course."

[option] "What in the blue blazes would that solve?" lampoons General @@RANDOMNAME@@, shoving the analyst aside and hastily saluting. "And besides, the more important lesson to draw from this is that the security of our nation has been severely compromised. Thus, we should enact martial law until we figure things out. Since terrorists and the like seem keen to use our waste receptacles for their nefarious schemes, it is necessary for us to station troops at every bin in @@NAME@@ to monitor suspicious activity."
