enlightenment wars

[Guest guest]

Ladies and gentlemen, we interrupt our regular scheduled broadcast

with these late breaking developments from the frontlines of the

Enlightenment Wars.

 

This is your anchor-being, Whadya Gnolwes, with this special report.

 

First: let's hear from our special correspondent, B.D.A. Sikar, who is

at a hidden camp deep in the middle of nowhere. B.D.A., what is the

latest from your perspective.

 

Whadya, I'm here in the ultra secret hideaway of the Philosophic

Panthers. They have been and are continuing to develop new and even

more powerful weapons in thier campaign to dominate these wars. Thier

latest effort culminates is what can only be a most devastating (at

least in thier view) terror device. It is the lastest in new and

improved Logic Grenades. Back to you, Whadya.

 

Thanks B.D.A. The Panthers haven't made much headway in the last

quarter of a century or more. Logic grenades aren't exactly new

technology. Do you see these latest efforts to be any real

improvement.

 

Yes, Whadya, that is the key question here amongst the Panthers as

well. To give you a perspective on that I have here with me one of the

foremost developers of the LG mark V, Carl J. Idmanns. Carl, what can

you tell us about your newest weapon and how is is it an improvement

over your older versions.

 

Well, B., may I call you B.? Certainly. Well, B., as you know the old

LG mark III just wasn't getting the job done. It was noisy, you could

see it coming and quite frankly, it had lost it's appeal. The mark V

on the other hand is quite dazzling. It can instantly paralyze the

mind and bring it into line with accepted standards. That has been our

goal all along. Yes, we indeed do see the Panthers moving into the

forefront with this new technology.

 

There you have it, Whadya. More on this story as it develops.

Reporting live from the middle of nowhere, I'm B.D.A. Sikar signing

out.

 

Thanks B.D.A. Now, on to other fronts. We have it from reliable

sources that the Suffering Squadron has joined forces with dissenting

elements of the Karma Corps. They are attempting to purchase a battery

of concept cannon to be used in thier campaign against the Fortress of

Doing.

 

The Righteousness Brigade is still slugging it out with the Engineers

of Experience. The collateral damage has been minimal over the past

month or two. However, millions are still without serenity.

 

The Meditation Marauders have been taking causalities in ever

increasing numbers. Some say this is due largely to the efforts of one

man, Kapitan Kundal. Some say that there is no such person while

others attest to first hand encounters that have left them stunned.

 

And the Free Will Destineers seem to have developed immunity to the

effects of landed mindfields. At last report no one has been able

verify this report. The FWD's motto 'Let fate be your guide on what to

decide' was last seen as a graffiti on the walls of the Fortress of

Doing.

 

For a wrapup we turn to our resident analyst and veteran war

correspondant, Imma Nutting. Imma, what is your assesment of the

current situation?

 

Whadya, we can see from here that the lofty Tower of Enlightement is

still standing like a bright beacon on the Horizon of Reality. So far

no one has made it there and come back alive. That is to say we cannot

recognize any successful attempts to bring the Tower down to the

common man at this time.

 

Thank you Imma. You may want to get that twitch looked at.

 

Well folks, that's all for now. For more developments in this ancient

and timeless struggle - stay tuned.

 

Whadya Gnolwes, signing off.
