TIMBER TV ANNOUNCEMENT GOES AWRY
magistrate

The first TV announcement after 17 years of mysterious radio interference was certasinly a memorable event. In the middle of an adress by Galbadian president for life Vinzer Deling in which he announced his intent to begin negotiations for world peace was attacked by a young man reveiled to be Seifer Almasy, a rouge Garden student.

"It was a disaster, a complete and total disaster!" says a distraught TV announcer. "The first live broadcast in seventeen years, and some punk kid holds up the president! How's that going to look on my resume?"

Seifer Almasy was tried for assaulting the president and reportedly executed.

"Yes, he is absolutely, definitely dead," said President Deling. "We certainly wouldn't want someone like that to, say... spearhead our newest offensive to take over the world, if we had one, which of course we don't. No, certainly not."

The reaction to President Deling's announcement to appoint the Sorceress to conduct the peace negotiations is dubious at best.

"I was afraid it would come to this," says Balamb Garden Headmaster Cid Kramer. "I never asked, but I always thought she did, too."

When asked to clarify, Kramer muttered something about the irony of fate and ended the interveiw.
