Police Discover LSD in Train Driver’s Imodium TabletsPolice have today revealed that they discovered the hallucinogenic drug LSD in the OsmanTech Imodium tablets, commonly used to counter the symptoms of diarrhoea, carried by Thomas Moran. Moran was discovered laying by the trackside after he was removed from the cab of his train, he had a faultless record and showed no signs or symptoms of depression. Police have confirmed they had already discovered traces of the drug in Moran’s bloodstream, and now believe that the man jumped while hallucinating.
Prior to departing Berk station, Moran was seen purchasing the drug from a shop outside the station and heading directly to the platform. The journey between Berk and Muntz takes approximately 45 minutes, and he was found approximately 10 minutes away from Muntz station. Police believe he took the drug shortly after departing Berk, as the packaging was left on the dashboard of the train.
Earlier today the CEO of OsmanTech issued
an apology on behalf of the company. The government have ordered that all OsmanTech Imodium tablets be destroyed and have temporarily revoked its licence to sell the drug. Intelligence agencies
Moran is survived by is wife, Marie, and two children, Michael and Reggie. A memorial will be installed on behalf of HawleyConnect and the National Railway Union (NRU) at the site where he died.
Controversy over Empress’ Rogue VisitFollowing reports that the government were considering the closure of Queen Katenka Naval Base in Arendelle, the Empress of Rokkenjima made what appears to be an emergency visit to the Dartfordian capital. Prime Minister Daniel Cleaver had only left that morning for a walking holiday in Lodja, and reports from sources close to the government suggest the move has infuriated the Foreign Minister, John Lankly.
The Prime Minister’s Office confirmed Cleaver would not be returning to Dartfordia early, though has been in touch with officials and the Foreign Secretary to confirm the government’s position. It’s likely the government will be seeking a very high price to make up for recent grievances, which include the use of Princess Adriana in negotiations with East Moreland and the recognition of Heyran sovereignty over the Nurashima/Barnacle islands. Initial reports indicated the government were planning on maintaining the base as a Dartfordian one, but
recent proposals from Duchess Ekaterina Stasiuk have sparked interest amongst senior officials.
While a new co-operation treaty is expected to be signed, the government may refuse to commit to securing the future of QKNB. The move may be popular amongst the National Party’s traditional support base, many of whom opposed the construction of the base itself, as well as many on the left opposed to the use of the base for weapons of mass destruction. In Arendelle, a city transformed by the former presence of the Cross-Straits Union, opinion is mixed, with about 40% of respondents preferring the base to be replaced with a resort, 40% preferring to maintain the base and 20% unsure. However a strong preference exists towards building a more accessible resort, with a Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Disneyland and a theme park preferred over a luxury yacht resort.
The Mayor of Arendelle, Michelle Lamb, told DBC that the CSU leaving ‘left a presently unfulfilled hole in the Arendelle economy’, and that replacement of the base could result in ‘greater economic development.’ She refused, however, to indicate her preference, saying that she ‘was open to proposals on all sides.’
