(Yoshi) Start the air strikes and after about 3 hours of bombing, we’ll
send in the cleanup crew to rid us of that unwanted scum.
Switch to the CNN reporter in a jeep with Mike Kelly and Ed.
(CNN Reporter) (To camera man) Are we ready? (Mike) Look up in the
sky! They are going to bomb the town by air and then send in the troops.
(CNN Camera Man) It’s done Calls in the Editor’s office). (CNN
Editor) Allen, what have you got? War? Pipe this into the front desk.
(CNN Editor) Allen has a story that’s live on my Q. Pipe him in on 3.
Allen, I have the control center on the line. We’ll pump the story into the
Anchor Desk and through ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox on 3. 1, 2, 3. (CNN
Anchor) We interrupt your regular programming to bring you this late
breaking story. (CNN Reporter) This is Allen Ross with CNN News live
here at little Hiroshima II where it would seem the Japanese have
declared war on the Indians of the once Navajo, Apache and Mohave
Reservation.
(CNN Anchor) Allen, explain to our viewers the sounds and sights in the
back-ground. (CNN Reporter) It’s war. The Japanese have deployed 13
to 16 fighters to bomb cities with women and children. I have here one of
the Indians from this area. Ed, why do you think the U.S. Government
would allow this to go on? (Ed) It’s simple. We don’t count. We’re only
Indians. (Mike) Hold on Allen. I feel that the U.S. Government can’t
intervene until they see sights like this, of violation of human rights and
the taking of innocent lives. (CNN Anchor) Allen, on the line we have the
Vice President of the United States. (CNN Reporter) How are you, Mr.
Vice President? (Vice President) I’m aware. Convey to the Indians that
we are in negotiations with the Japanese government and we may not be
able to commit troops right now, but we have an air space embargo so
they can’t transport any more troops here. (CNN Reporter) Thank you,
Mr. Vice President. (Vice President) Stay strong and God bless. Help will
be on the way.
At that moment, a big blast disconnected the news feed. Switch the
scene to a home in America.
