PRIME MINISTER VOWS: NO DESTRUCTION FROM UK HOSTS LIKE HONOLULU

Prime Minister Arthur Stark met with members of the press from across the EU to address growing concerns about the overreach and potential abuse of power of hosts currently cooperating with the government.

“Now that the alien threat is waning, and only one of the invaders remains, we must start to ask ourselves what role the hosts will play in a post-invasion society. While their efforts, courage, and sacrifice have protected us until now, the events in Honolulu cannot be overlooked. This is what happens when power is left unchecked, and the American government has clearly allowed their hosts far too much leeway in how the conduct themselves.

“I’ve met with leaders of the EU and we’re in agreement: hosts, like any other person in power, must ultimately answer to the people, and act as servants, not superheroes, toward a better good. England’s primary host, who goes by the call sign Reaper, has consented to any future measurements the Houses of Parliament may choose to pass in the coming weeks or month, so long as those measure are working toward the safety and prosperity of the public good.”

Other leaders of the EU voiced their support for what have begun to be referred to as “Host Restrictions,” which may include laws that a government and host must abide by when making use of their supernatural powers they have access to.

Host Reaper, who saved thousands of civilians from the volcanic destruction and alien attack in Hawaii, was on hand to field questions.

“Of course I agree that we shouldn’t be going about willy-nilly and blowing up cities. But, due respect to the American hosts, it was a rather extreme situation,” said Reaper.

“An invasion is always an extreme situation,” Stark said later, “and we’re not going to make it any less so by accepting excessive collateral damage as the new normal.”

MASS DISAPPEARANCES CONTINUE ACROSS THE GLOBE: OFFICIALS CITE FINAL ALIEN OFFENSIVE

The disappearance of town ore coastal towns has put millions across the planet in need of reassurance that they will not be next. The numerous “vanishings” that have occurred from Okinawa to Portugal are what many have suspected to be another alien offensive, though far less obvious than giant monstrosities attacking cities.

This was confirmed last night by Director MacDougal of the USAIF and General Johnson of the Joint Chiefs, following a statement made by President Hanover.

“We can confirm that the numerous disappearances in coastal towns over the last two weeks are the direct result of hostile extraterrestrial attacks carried out on the citizens of Earth. The USAIF is cooperating closely with other world governments to hunt the final remaining alien down and bring this invasion to its inevitable conclusion. We have hosts diligently patrolling coastal cities and towns that may be at risk, and have declared a curfew for all potential target areas that is to remain in effect until this crisis has passed.”

When asked how long she expected the hunt for the last alien to take, MacDougal said, “We are closing in.”

94451070: OP you can stay home and plow your manatee of a mom without violating curfew

62693811: oh damn

36281010: kys

94451070: Seething

70484733: Is it literally every coastal city and town in the States? I thought it was just the little ones. I’m in Corpus Cristi and haven’t heard anything.

40921234: Pretty sure they got hosts hovering all the major cities.

94451070: So what, only four cities? Warden, Pan, Archer, and Seer.

39917469: Probably LA, NYC, Miami, and Seattle? San Francisco?

70484733: I literally just saw a squad of big fucking robots fly by overhead. I guess they’re using those Exterminator things to patrol places too. I’d rather have them than Warden. I don’t wanna get my house destroyed in a volcanic attack.

40921234: Lot of volcanoes in Texas, are there?

70484733: Just saying I don’t want the explosion-happy fire lady to destroy my town, man.

40921234: I’d let Warden destroy my town if she’d go on a date with me. We could do lewd things like ~hold hands~

62693811: Fucking degenerate

40921234: Seriously though, what are the options here? Pan: Roided Metal armadillo that only appears to be good at breaking the arm of talk show hosts. Seer: Psychic who hasn’t been able to prevent any of the shit that’s happened so far. Archer: probably okay, but doesn’t seem like much of a powerhouse. Warden: literally used a volcano to punch a football stadium into the ocean.

70484733: I’ll stick with the robots. They seem less likely to turn my city into a crater.

36281010: lol its Corpus Cristi who would notice

94451070: Exactly what an incestuous manatee lover would say

36281010: stfu

40921234: Based and manatee-pilled

LONDON GOES QUIET: POWER OUTAGE SILENCES THE CITY

At roughly 23:35 GMT last night (one hour ago at the time of this writing), all electronic communication with the city of London ceased. Prime Minister Stark was away in Helsinki, but many ministers of the Houses of Parliament have not responded, even through emergency channels.

Several members of nearby police departments have gone into the city, but have also become non-responsive. Members of the press and civilians have been advised to stay away, and roads leading into or out of the city have been barricaded. At this time, it’s suspected that some form of EMP may be a result of the city-wide communication loss, but eye-witnesses claim that city-lights can still be seen.

(UPDATE) What was first assumed to be a city-wide power outage is now becoming more sinister. It has been four hours since any communication has been received from London, and planes flying to Heathrow have received no response from the ground, and have redirected to other airports.

The silence from many official government agencies such as the Ministries of Intelligence and Defense has left what is available of the government in a flurry of activity. Prime Minister Stark has returned to England, and is working with local authorities and the military to organize a response and emergency protocols, according to a statement made to the press by an aide a short while ago.

Host Reaper is on-site, and will be joined by the premier French host, Renn, as well as the Turkish host Kan.

While as of yet unconfirmed, many believe this to be an attack similar to those carried out on multiple coastal town in recent weeks, but on a much, much wider scale. Other countries, including Canada, America, and Russia, have already sent their hosts to assist the UK during this horrible event.
