Dateline: PK High Command HQ
The race for the top position at High Command intensified with the conclusion of the first debate between President Braca and Commandante Grayza. While neither candidate scored a knockout blow, neither left the stage with pie on their face (mmm...pie!).
President Braca repeated on numerous occassions that he was making progress in the war against the Scarrans. Staying the course was better than showing weakness in the face of a relentless enemy, he insisted repeatedly.
Commandante Grayza argued that negotiations were necessary to secure the peace, drawing a sharp retort from Braca that this would be seen as caving in to heat-emitting lizards everywhere. At this, Grayza appeared to perspire and loosened her clothing. The visibly shaken Braca mumbled something about his work being "hard" and remained silent for the next few minutes.
Polls taken immediately after the debate showed a slight gain for Grayza in the PK Territories, Hyneria, and, curiously, Scarran Space. Braca remains strongly popular among Luxans, many of whom wrote on their surveys, "Kill! Kill! Kill!" The Nebari remain divided, with one-third prefering Braca, one-third prefering Grayza, and one-third prefering both together if they could watch.
Angry at not being allowed to participate, third party candidate John Crichton showed up at the debate with an atomic bomb strapped to his pants. He claimed the device would detonate if he wasn't allowed in, or if his heart rate went up, or if he got bored, or if his pants ripped. This reporter did not witness the outcome of the confrontation, as he immediately dove under the snack bar and remained there until the ash quit falling.
