Rumors still run rampant about the recent kidnapping of the long lost Andorran Princess, Rose de Castillo from a research institute in Anglia Massachusetts. Though her whereabouts were unknown until recently, the Princess was said to have been abducted by an ascendant tied to the Thelosian government, though nothing more than blurry photos and video exist of the actual abduction. In the wake of the incident, Andorran officials have refused to comment on the incident, saying only: "The Princess is now safe. Nothing else matters and we have no further comment." Andorran officials have also assured us that no charges will follow in the wake of the international scandal. Thelos has not yet released a statement about the recent disappearance of their ruler, believed to have occurred during an attempt to rescue Andorra's captured Princess.

Speculation runs wild as images of an alleged new military weapon captured in Moldavia by an amateur photographer circulate around the internet. The pictures show what appears to be a giant, spider-like machine being buried under rubble as an abandoned warehouse collapses around it. The provisional government of Trans-Dneister has denounced the photographs as an elaborate hoax.

In Russia, Mikhail Ignatiev of the National Party has won a landslide victory in the second-round presidential poll. International experts, who see Ignatiev as an extremely talented leader, welcome the outcome and hope he can bring much needed stability to the beleaguered country as its fifth president.

Unlike most of the rest of the group, Rose didn't have much of a reaction to seeing the strange younger version of Domerin walk by. Nor did she seem to bat an eyelash at the dark, gothic version of Cameron that followed him. Of course she was just as shocked as the rest of them. And under other circumstances she may even have had comments to add to Nick's. After all, she was no stranger to the custom of the old 01 members of tossing barbs at each other at each opportunity. Their's was a world of eat or be eaten.

In this case, however, the telepath was simply too overwhelmed to add anything to a conversation that was basically useless. It certainly didn't do anything to help their situation. With the press of so many minds wearing against her thin, damaged shields, and her defenses dangerously close to flagging or failing all together, she had to pour most of her effort into keeping herself under control. The addition of more strange minds, both the strange versions of her companions and the rest of the band, certainly didn't help her situation any, except that it did seem to calm the rampant minds of the crowd and the subsequent soothing of their rabid desires helped to ease her strain, if only just a little. Enough, at least, that when Domerin began a conversation that was actually relevant to the matter at hand, she was able to concentrate on it enough to add her own input.

It didn't surprise her at all that Domerin fell so easily into military survival techniques. She had expected either himself or Gregory to bring the topic up fairly quickly, and she trusted that both of them knew what to do, even in as bizarre a situation as this one. She supposed that was what all the military training they had gone through was for; to provide them with a logical group of rules and steps which could be applied to any situation.

As Domerin had suspected, it was quite easy for her to pluck the conversation out of his mind and offer her opinion in the same language by reading the proper words and syntax out of his thoughts. "<We need information. First we need to figure out exactly what happened. It's the only way we'll be able to find a way to get out of this mess.>" If there even is a way to get back home... "<And rest.>" She added, her tone quite a bit more weary than it had been moments before. "<It's been a long day - or what passes for one - for all of us. I'm not sure about the rest of you, but if I don't get some rest soon it's not going to be pretty. My shields aren't going to hold against this onslaught a whole hell of alot longer.>"
