There was turmoil in the White House this morning as unscheduled visitors arrived. Arriving separately and within moments of each other, delegations from the elven nations of Tir Taimgire and Tír na nÓg converged on the White House with demands for an immediate meeting. The delegates, whom the presidential press secretary will only describe as "extremely high ranking." were admitted at once and are still meeting with President Steele after nearly five hours. Though no statement or explanation has been issued, the rumored topic of concern to the visitors from the reclusive elven nations is the growing crisis in Chicago. At a time when the people of the UCAS are being told very little about what is happening in one of their country’s greatest cities, the public can only wonder what interests these foreign powers have in the country’s internal affairs.
