"London Gazette", Issue 2
Imagine that instead of Victoria, someone else should be in the text, I was too lazy to look for something better : (Terrible tragedy! Chaos in the city streets.
Rampaging electronics: what does it mean?
Will there be enough room in our hospital?
Beware of disappearing phone booths! “London Gazette” continues to keep you informed! Today, things were very hectic in the streets of our beloved city, but the newspaper staff remains hopeful for a positive outcome. For now, we advise our readers to be wary of phone booths, which have a strange habit of disappearing with a loud creak and reappearing on the other side of the city. This is definitely the work of aliens, and we hope that our officers will figure out which ones.
A regrettable incident happened to
Kilo – the lock on his apartment broke and shocked him with electricity when he tried to open it. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but
Kilo was forced to stay locked inside, waiting for the repair crew.
Our furry Tibetan guests continue to cause trouble in the streets. One of them scared
MyHighness badly today; the poor girl barely managed to hide in a nearby establishment. Fortunately, her life is now out of danger.
Wolfstet was admitted to the hospital with serious injuries; nothing is known about the attackers. Unfortunately, neither the local police nor UNIT can ensure the safety of patients – some hooligans broke into
Evil Lizard’s ward and beat him until he lost consciousness.
We are saddened to report the death of
Morning. A steel death awaited him right near the UNIT research center. A monster with tremendous strength unleashed its iron fists upon him, and all that remained of the promising young scientist was a disfigured body. Of course, the military again missed everything – they couldn’t catch the killer. Someone remembered that
Morning never returned his book about World War II, saying that he only read it up to the part about the exile to London.
But the real drama with chases and shootouts unfolded a few blocks from the research center. Let us allow ourselves some literary license, especially since there were many witnesses to this tragedy.
…
Arandor and
0xFF did what anyone in their place would do – they ran for their lives. The cursing guard with a pistol and the mechanical furry monster were not serious opponents for two healthy young men individually, but when they almost simultaneously appeared at different ends of the street, neither the young officer nor the Scotsman risked their lives and decided it was best to retreat. The strong but slow and clumsy robot quickly fell behind, and the guard continued to chase them and eventually shot
0xFF in the knee. The guys managed to turn into some alley.
Arandor pulled out his sword (not really hoping for its effectiveness), and
0xFF collapsed heavily on the ground.
- You… Better run, I’ll hold him off as long as I can. Tell our people what happened here.
- But I can’t just leave you!
- It’s better if you go, there’s no time, -
0xFF pulled out his weapon and grinned. – And I never told her that I love her…
- Who?
- That blonde photographer.
- She’s pretty, yes, -
Arandor smiled.
He wanted to ask something else, but they were interrupted by a sharp metallic screech coming from behind
Arandor. The young men didn’t have time to do anything when
RiMpel2 struck
0xFF with his deadly beam.
Arandor managed to dodge, and while
RiMpel2 aimed his formidable weapon at him, he grabbed a stone and smashed the camera on the monster’s front. The blinded creature began to shoot wildly in a rage. The Scotsman, although wounded, managed to get close to
RiMpel2 and thrust his sword into the most vulnerable spot, but then a death ray struck him. However, the fragment of
Arandor’s sword, apparently, damaged some important parts. With an unpleasant electronic screech,
RiMpel2 exploded…
In the morning, two human bodies and a mutilated alien mechanism made of an unknown metal with remnants of some kind of biomass were found. UNIT researchers took samples of the biomass and metal for research.
Our special correspondent successfully interviewed
Al-Parazon.
- Hello, how do you like our city?
- It is quite beautiful, despite all these aliens. I would like to stay here longer, but alas, maybe another time.
- And maybe you are one of the aliens yourself? I heard that they are much more advanced in some things than humans.
- I am, of course, tempted by the prospect of living forever, but alas, I am just a mortal.
- Heh, bad joke… I just remembered one of my acquaintances, he looks exactly like a yeti.
- I don’t know why you came to that conclusion, it is quite obvious that I don’t look much like these hairy monsters.
