Indigo Syndicate Balloon Incident

As described in this article here, the Indigo Syndicate Balloon Incident was an event that occurred in x/xx/xx, where Popeye Jr. was startled by a balloon that was floating lazily in the sky and declared an emergency at the Navy Tower, prompting the Syndicate's military to come out guns ablazing to take it down.
== Background ==
Popeye Jr. was on another one of his yacht rides, when he spotted a balloon floating in the sky. Upon seeing this, he began to have a panic attack, and rushed back to the Navy Tower. He made an announcement to the entire Indigo Syndicate and called an emergency meeting to inform them about the balloon, telling them that it was in fact, an evil demonic floating device that was out to spray demon gas all over the city to transform everyone into demons.
Popeye Jr. declared a state of emergency, and all the troops that were in the tower (and not currently fighting in the Kangaroo War) were armed and deployed. When Popeye Jr. made this announcement outside of the Navy Tower as well, many citizens of the Republic also began to fear the balloon, calling it a floating object of pure evil. Seeing the citizens' reactions, Lazlo thought the balloon would be perfect for propaganda purposes... but also believed that deploying the entire Syndicate military to shoot it down is a stupid idea. Popeye Jr. went through with it anyways, with soldiers firing bullets into the air and all of them missing the balloon. The bullets eventually came back down and landed on several troops and Republic citizens, killing them all almost instantly. The balloon was eventually shot down after it had reached the coast of [area], with Popeye Jr. declaring a great victory and extorting money from Republic citizens (even though he has enough money himself) to host a large banquet for the Indigo Syndicate. "We are fourteen TRILLION steps closer to ending the Demon Menace for good!" he was quoted as saying.
