B&C Closing Ceremonies             Fri Oct 08    Libra

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        <A shot of the B&C torch, blazing away. All the lights around it are out, leaving it as the sole shining light source. A platform rises up, with a shadowed figure on it, who lights a hand-held torch on the flame. As the platform moves away, the great cauldron of flame decends... and decends... and finally disappears into the waves of Vancouver Bay, the torch extinguished by the waters. Now, the only light remaining is the hand-held flame, that lowers to the ground. Holding it high, the torchbearer runs into the night's darkness, leaving the stadium and disappearing.>

 

"Thank you all, for your hard work in this year's Battle and Chase games. For the Committe, this is Chairwoman Nicole St. Stein. Your work has once again shown that peace can reign in our world, at least for a time. I implore all to try and uphold that, even after the truce ends in an hour. But even if you do not - thank you for at least giving it this small chance, and letting the world sleep peacefully for a time."

B&C Commentary I                   Sat Oct 09    Global News Network

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

        And now, for the commentary of the B&C closing ceremonies. Everyone's favorite GNNer is at his desk. "With the ending of the games, I'd like to echo Chairwoman's St. Stein's words... the B&C Olympics may be popular for the competitors as it's another excuse to bean each other over the head with weapons of mass destruction... but speaking as a civilian, I love the games simply because nobody gets killed. People are able to walk the streets without fear of a stray missile coming out of no-where, or wars being fought over their homes at the expense of their loved ones." Chest shakes his head, figuring it's pointless to go over what everybody already knows.

 

        Coughing politely, he starts up again, "With the games over, GNN is right on the spot with the quotes from all your favorite Battle and Chase competitors!" The images shift to various people giving soundbites for the camera.

 

Glaive: "While I did not win anything, it was a learning experience. Though, I wish the urge to have peace was more out of willingness, than just seen as an obligation.."

 

Ominous shot of Sigma: "Performance was not up to my expectations. Clearly, training programs will have to be instituted and more funding placed into this critical arena. At the very least, I will surely have to have my trainers whip harder."

 

Prismatic Spider gives a soccer-mom style quote, "Everyone did their best this year, and I'm proud of Repliforce's accomplishments in Battle and Chase against such stiff opposition. In this time, we are all winners."

 

And a quote from one of the winning faction members in the form of Pharaoh Man: "Of course the Robot Masters won. We are the Children of Amun-Wily. We'd of done even better if not for the interference of those meddling Neo Arcadians and their performance enhancing gene alterations...really, is that legal?"

 

        <continued>

Message 18/106 (IC News/106) now reads:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

        The quotes continue... but alas, the quality starts to drop off...

 

Liese Schreiner: "I look forwards to next year." *ten seconds of unsettling laughter*

 

Mai Atsuki: "Hopefully next year the judge will be less corrupt."

 

Teisel: "I need a better map to find these events."

 

Quiet Man: <blank stare>

 

Crescent Grizzly: *grunts slightly at the camera, and walks away without comment*

 

Bullet: "Damnit, if Proto drags me out to next year, I'll slug him."

 

Gate: "I wonder if I can market this Cuisinart as a security device."

 

Levi: "Milan won a medal. WHY DID MILAN WIN A MEDAL?"

 

Ebony Fox: "Shazam, baby! Shazam!"

 

And last, but definitely not least... Glyde Loath: "I know I didn't actually complete, but I do have to say that some of the competitors this year were absolutely dead sexy. I mean, it's classic entertainment. I look forward to tuning in via close-up next year!"

 

        The scene returns to Chest, who stares at the camera for a good ten seconds before saying, "...and in other news, the person responsible for assembling the quotes tonight has just had their ass fired."

 

        And so, on goes the news.
