Lore/PBC: Queen of McQueens

*Eleven twenty-two, Panau time. In the Pelaut Archipelago, a blonde woman finalizes promotion certificates while the news plays in the background.*

…resulting in a total clearance of her bowels, and a “six” from the Russian judge.

And now onto our main story for the evening. Several days ago, PBC reported on a dossier of supposed intelligence reports from a state-sponsored intelligence-agent-turned-terrorist. While “No comment” was delivered by some of the parties whom it concerns, the concern was raised that the files were a part of a smear campaign aimed at the government, and the enforcers by proxy.

In light of this, and due to the nature of most comments believing the “Deathwatch” to be a low-priority threat, we here in the newsroom have decided to present the full four documents, unedited, for the public to digest at their own discretion, and for officials who may not have full access to these files, if they are legitimate, – which we believe them to be after official comment – to further review the contents.

The man behind these documents is named as one Oliver McQueen.

McQueen, in an official statement by Chief of Peacekeepers Yune Desonai,

> "went out of his own will ... fallen victim to the ideals of Deathwatch, and failed to continue the task given by us, continuing only with activities that match their own agenda, and not the agenda of the Peacekeepers.”

 McQueen is in the public record as having been a Peacekeeper last year, retiring from service for as-of-yet unknown reasons.

An accomplice of McQueen’s, named in the document and reached out to for comment, also claims that the files are legitimate, and possibly even already acquired by controversial multi-faith minister and supposed head of the “Deathwatch,” Carthik Bradshei, continuing with a criticism of the current election structure.

Others, who are named as having been targeted by the group in these files, express criticism of the terrorism and piracy group, stating that they “couldn’t hit the President at point blank range, or even stick around to make sure the round hit,” to paraphrase. Another retired politician claimed that never once was he made aware of his involvement as a target, rounding out his statement by saying,

> "To anyone who thinks that my intentions are or were malicious, I say: Stop wasting your time.”

Major Dexter Moser, accomplished Enforcer marksman, key liaison to the Peacekeepers and Panau Bureau of Investigation, and husband to Chief Desonai, states that he and his wife have been targeted by the “Deathwatch” numerous times, and are as dogged as ever in their determination in stopping terrorist forces threatening the nation.

Finally, the man behind these files, Oliver McQueen, has been reached out to for comment and has responded. He claims the operations taken out by him while under the Government umbrella may have been approved even at the Presidential level. He also made threats stating that lives were “in danger” as a result of this information being leaked.

This news comes in wake of increased government offensives into territory held by the mafioso-esque gang “The Roaches” as well as the militaristic belligerents inhabiting the Northwest part of the nation under the native Ular tribal banner. While success has been claimed in pushing back both groups, reports of a turf war between the “Roaches” and the “Ular Boys” with heavy losses on the Roach side possibly paints the Enforcer military as going up against a weak enemy; possibly corroborated by claims in the southern swamps that territory held by communist guerrilla forces is slowly advancing towards the heart of the nation.

Despite the national conflict and allegations of spying, RSO stock continues its slow but steady decline, reporting a net loss of…
