"I'm Michael Carmack at CNN with breaking news. Today, the Mecha Icauras-01 was lost in battle while courageosly fighting to stop a group of maruading Kaiju in what is being called a joint operation with the Terran Armada and Cuban defense forces. However, a recent amatuer video shot from a small fishing boat in the vicinity of the battle seems to show the mecha conspicously alone untill the very late arrival of the SDF-1 Macross. Even more conspicous is that on site witnesses still have yet to confirm sightings of any Terran Armada Forces, leaving many to wonder who exactly is defending our world from the ongoing threat of rampaging monsters, Excuse me...*anchorman looks downward and has one hand to his ear* It appears that Commander Paul Schneiders of the K.R.T, is now issuing a press confrerence after his early return from the international confrence aboard the USS Confrence. CNN takes you to this unfolding event live....."
*cuts to an Image of Paul standing behind a podium with the insigniae of the K.R.T. . On his face is a somber expression, one that seems to be utterly heartfelt*
"Good afternoon my brothers and sisters of the world, I come before you today with sorrowful news. First, however, i would like to give my condolences to those families that have lost loved ones in these troubled times, and i feel your pain as acutely as if each death were a needle in my heart. More importantly, you have my apologies that I and the rest of Schmidt Industries were not able to prevent your loss, and even now Schmidt Industries works harder still to prevent more lives lost. However, i come here tonight for another reason. As many of you now know, the mecha unit Icauras-01 was lost today at the hands of the kaiju menace. I come here today to let you know that while this loss is indeed a blow to the K.R.T , It has weakened neither our strength nor our resolve to protect the human race. Even now, Schmidt Industries is unveiling new weapons, and training more personell to continue the glorious
crusade to preserve humanity." Pauls look changes from one of somberness to one of determination. "People of the world, fear not the Ancient nightmares that have come back to haunt us, nor the souless aliens aliens that come to enslave us, but rather, stand strong and resolute , secure in the knowledge that humanity will overcome any obstacle to it! Stand arm in arm with your brothers and sisters in defiance to these monstrosities that have neither mercy or compassion, stand for all that is strong, noble, and human!" Paul stands tall and confident, giving off a charismatic glow, a pose that would be remembered by many in the coming dark days. As he finished his speach, the horde of reporters before him all began to babble at once, each one clamoring for attention.
Gazing out into the audience, he points out a female reporter. "Commander Schneiders, how do you respond to allegations that the Icauras was lost do to incompetence and hesitance on the part of Cuban and Terran Armada forces?" she asked. Instantly, Paul's expression returns to one of graveness as he responds "While the hearts of the Cuban and Terran Armada forces are true in their wishes to protect humanity, It is my deepest fear that they have been deceived and manipulated by the more dangerous kaiju. The foul machinations of these creatures who claim to "be here to help us" have utterly paralyzed the Terran Armada. Worse still are the Cuban Forces. Even though they appear to be once again fulfilling their duty to mankind, it is my sad duty to inform you that they have in fact entered an alliance with one of the more insidious kaiju, a Revan Amon, an alliance which i fear will lead to the enslavement of the cuban people. It is a dark day indeed when such valiant defenders of the world foresake their responsibilities when offered power by a some foul temptress."
Paul points out again, this time to a middle aged man who worked for D.R.A.C.O. "Commander Schneiders, how do you respond to your critics who claim that you are in fact a modern day natzi, a bigot who allows his hatred to blind him to the potential good that the kaiju can offer?" The man's tone implied that he in fact was one such critic. With a look of hurt on his face, Paul responds "Truly, such allegations are personally hurtful to me. I have no such prejudices against kaiju, but only a heartfelt duty to protecting the human race. However, i know such critics would simply scoff at such a claim, so instead i must ask such critics this: How much good have kaiju rendered upon man kind? Godzilla, Mothra, Megalon, Zilla, All of these abominations have done nothing but claim human lives. In fact, Revon Amon, a self proclaimed "good kaiju" , openly admits to an alliance with the monster Daemon, the savage creature that wreaked such destruction in Tokyo bay. What good can we expect to come from these violent and destructive beast? The logic of the situation is clear. "
Smiling broadly, Paul bowed his head. "I'm sorry ladies of gentlemen, but i have pressing matters to attend to, and no more time for questions. Thank you for your time" As the Reporters all attempt to get one last question in, Paul strides out of the cameras veiw.
