Last Weeks Paper

Look out Spiderman, Pride Landia has as Superhero!

By Alistair Duncan

Tuesday night was a normal evening in the downtown metropolis of the Pride Landian Capital. Suddenly a Pride Landian civics' brakes failed and although the driver jumped out of the driver's seat, the car sped out of control down main street, causing Animaloids alike to scatter out of the way. But then out of the blue sky came a heroine, surprisingly human she was able to stop the car and pull a young child out of the way before the car hit her. The crowd cheered and the mother of the child was happy her dear flesh and fur was safe. Called Ms. America she comes from earth and knew Simbaka at one time, coming to visit him. Her origins of her powers are unknown at this time but new information will come as it becomes available. She has shown her ability to fly and her amazing agility and strength. But she wasn't the only one that showed up. Anther hero, Captain Canuck greeted his Royal Highness Simbaka after one time while Simbaka was away, he stopped a Ferengi from stealing from the royal treasury. Amazingly, he's an Eugenic like our Queen Lee Sona. His mother escaped the Starship that Khan took over to get the Genesis fearing how power mad Khan had become and eventually settling down giving birth to a new superhero. At any rate Simbaka offered to both a position on the security staff for the amazing deeds and abilities. Ms America accepted the position greatly and will most likely get her own place. (If this writer knew where her lab would be she most likely wouldn't let me out of her sight. :) Captain Canuck declined though, saying that what he does to better good he does for his own although he would still love to meet Lee Sona. Simbaka was happy to them both for what they have done and watched as they flew off into the sunset. Mysteriously, the driver of that car could not be found and the royal guard is conducting a search and might have Ms. America do the search since she might of seen the driver. So next time when things aren't going your way or some robber is stealing a bank, do be sure to know that a new friendly superheroine will be around in the search for truth, justice and the Pride Landian Way!  



Simbaka to Celestial Order: "I'm watching you.."

By Tenagra Melone

As the completion of the Celestial Order came into completion, his highness Simbaka Rafikin was notified by the head of the order that a new overseer will arrive. It was a great surprise as it was a felineoid but no relation to the Animaloids at all. Her name being Snowy expressed that she will do better to what Neros had done. When this reporter caught up with Snowy she said, "Neros is being sent elsewhere to be reorganized to the One for the actions she had caused." As for Simbaka, he did not let his upset go unnoticed, saying to the press, "What Neros did to control my influence was clearly unacceptable, especially under the house of Aslan. I'll let them stay here but I'll be watching them and if they continue to do acts against my people or Aslan, I will put my foot down on them." This is a Simbaka that has rarely been seen, it could be shown that he was not too happy for the first impression that was shown. Most reports indicate that Neros has a trance like control over Sim and he never remembered any meetings till he brought his cousin Nulan along where it did not make any sort of effect whatsoever. Nulan stated, "I've never had much a trust with this Order and I mostly likely never will." Finally polls indicate that the people are really going to have to be convinced this Order is on the level.
All in all, the Celestial Order will have a lot to clean up upon in order to see fit in the eyes of both the people, the kingdom and in Aslan. We'll keep you posted on any new further developments.


The Royal Address:

The Day After By Alistair Duncan

Thursday night the world watched as Simbaka and Lee Sona made their Royal Address, pressing upon the major events that have touched the last year. It has been deemed as one of the more greater of speeches especially of the recent events but the two did not leave any stone unturned. Simbaka got right to the main subject in regards to the proposal, he nor Lee did not mention Cedric specifically they said quote, "We must not look upon the person who suggested the idea but to what the idea means upon." Noting that there was a misunderstanding people took in last weeks issue that there would be a legislation for every 1000 people but Sim and Lee would still oversee everything and make the final decisions that were best for the empire. Lee had stated that a vote of the people can be made on this new proposal to show that the people will have a say in how the government will follow along in the coming years. In our next issue well show you a result in the polls on what the outcome may reflect Next they got to where Aslan still means the most to the ones who believe in him. Emphasizing that just because he is not always here doesn't mean that he is not in one place, in our hearts. The crowd made a standing ovation to this showing they are well behind that. It could also mean they are mostly still doubtful of the Celestial Order that have completed construction of the temple and what one of their members influence on Simbaka might of made a really dark look of this religion. Simbaka also apologized for being really out without too much security. Most likely referring to the incident with the Ralkan, he stated that better security measures will be taken, but still not to point the finger of blame on our allies since acts like this can be done by anyone. Lee added to this telling that our allies are there to assist and be friends so that we can no longer be alone in the universe. They did not get into any information about relations with StarFleet as most news show that is still up in the air at this point. Then it got the more happier part of the speech. Simbaka told about how happy he was to first find his old friend Selatrel in Quarks bar. She was a friend of his back in the Nexus bar before it was destroyed by the Dominion and how she will be welcome here at the empire. Lee said jokingly how he finds such wonderful friends in all the interesting places where everyone got a friendly laugh out of that one. Sim also mentioned of the Superherione Ms. America who recently saved a child from an out of control car down at main street and how she will be working under the guard to assist in bettering the justice in the empire. All in all Simbaka and Lee made the best speech ever, one could really see they did their homework and made sure that the people could have confidence in them on their decisions. In this writers review, Keep up the good work your highness and Majesty!

Everyone enjoyed the blues sounding song Moonlight and even though and encore was called for none was given due to tight scheduling.Saturday Gutter Poet Opened for a cover band yet seemed to be the highlight of the show at L'amour Rocks.
