Your holovid screen fades into the logo of the Galactic News Service, and then to that of the face of a pretty young lady, delivering a headline update. Behind her a screen begins to show clips of the Imperial Ceremony on Coruscant today. She smiles softly, and begins to speak.
"I'm Mishkia Shaw for the GNS, here to bring you a startling news update regarding the Imerial Ceremony on Coruscant. Within twenty-two minutes of Mister Bach's announcement thirty-seven statue contractors and engineers from across the galaxy contacted our offices, worried that the Empire had been falsly informed of it's vaunted statue's construction. They informed our offices that a statue can not properly set in under two days, nor can the foundation supports for the base be disconnected in under a week. Furthermore, they advised that Wookie slaves could not have been used, because Wookie's are notoriously allergic to the airborne chemical reaction that occurs between Gold and Platinum as they are integrated."
Miss Shaw flicked her head slightly, tossing her hair back out of her eyes before continuing. "Upon announcement of the ceremony, our liason to the Empire requested the names of the six prisoners, supposedly pirates, executed so that we could air them to further the imperial warning. The empire refused to reveal the identities of the six men executed, which furthers the growing belief that the Empire is growing clones exclusively for these types of ceremonies. The fact that in the past seven execution ceremonies that the Empire has held, no names have been revealed is additional proof to the theory. Experts are studying the holo's of the execution now for further proof of their theory."
As the clips of the ceremony faded back into the GNS logo, Shaw gathered her papers and straightened them on the desk, then looked up, "This is Mishkia Shaw, for the Galactic News Service, bringing the latest updates in news, weather, sports, and scandal directly to your living room."
