IC: "The Black Star"

As the election season in Aswardo draws near its end, it is almost indecisive who could win the election. Between the incumbent President Poo Poo's anti-Ongi rhetoric, and his opponent's hyper-liberal policy propositions, the people are more than ever divided on the fate of the republic. Just as President Poo Poo's popularity began to dip in the polls, a sudden and horrific act would shake the nation forever. Just as the sun barely rose from the horizon, a primary school in the Yomi District of Keno becomes the target of the nation's worst terrorist attack in history. When the primary school opened its classes for the first hour, a large explosion penetrates the entrance of the building, causing the structural integrity of the building to dwindle, forcing hundreds of innocent children and teachers stuck in the building, with no way out. The only other exit from the building has been penetrated by a regiment of twenty-five operatives, clad in battle armour, and equipped with fully-automatic rifles. In a swift and horrific act, these operatives went from classroom to classroom, shooting down every child and teacher they could find. After an hour the slaughter resulted in the death of over three hundred people, until the Aswardi Army stormed the building, and defeated the terrorist operatives in less than thirty minutes. Every operative was killed except for one, who was captured and brought in for interrogation. Upon further discovery, the Aswardi Intelligence Agency uncovered that these operatives were none other than the Ongi, and are tied to General Red's alliance of Ongi militias. Their weapons and armour were made in Kiago, and much of their battle tactics were reminisce of that of Kiago ground strategy. In a speech to the nation, President Poo Poo declassified the information gathered from the Aswardi Intelligence Agency, to properly inform the Aswardi people who was responsible for this national travesty. In great despair, President Poo Poo once again condemns Kiago, and declares that they are accountable once again for Ongi-sponsored terrorism. In retaliation for this attack, President Poo Poo authorizes the use of Kamakazi drones to target Ongi militia command centres in eastern Kiago. Because of this, President Poo Poo's popularity gain traction, and he was able to win a second term in an absolute landslide. In his inauguration speech to the nation, President Poo Poo emphasizes that "...Aswardo will return, and take care of the Ongi themselves, once and for all..."
