 		[UPDATE] Sentinel 19 Oct- Earlywine Wins, Scott Retains Seat
The Sentinel wrote:

Earlywine Wins Leader Post, Scott Retains Seat on Council
By CORINNE HATHAWAY

Nathan Earlywine won the Council Leader post in yesterday's election by a 3% margin, replacing Camryn Scott after she failed a vote of confidence under the Yancy Clause on Monday. Scott won her district, however, and has retained a seat on the City Council, despite the brewing scandal over Academy experimentation into dangerous wartime technologies. Voter turnout reached a record high, with fully 92% of eligible voters casting a ballot.

Earlywine said in his victory speech that the current situation in government will require "drastic action to remedy," though he did not specify what immediate actions he plans to take. He said that a thorough cleaning-house in various city agencies and offices is necessary, and that he plans to improve the budget dramatically by reducing the amount of waste and duplication of effort both in the city and in townships in the greater Perplex City region.

His most scathing remarks, though, were on the topic of Earth and Perplexians' fascination with it. "The people of Earth have clearly tried to influence our political process, and it is past time to liberate the hearts and minds of our youth," he said. "Of course retrieving the Receda Cube is of primary importance to all of us, but we must make sure that in pursuing this goal, we do not make ill-advised bargains or sully ourselves with shameful associations."

Scott's concession address was a surprisingly fiery affair in which she vowed to defend her actions as Council Leader and preserve "the crucial work I have spent these last years doing." She thanked the voters in her district for having the confidence to keep her on the council, saying that the result "renewed her faith in the political process."

Still, Scott may have a tough term ahead of her as it is certain that Earlywine will launch an investigation into the so-called "Special Project 487" that she allegedly gave authorisation for, and which has resulted in the deaths of at least five people. Scott may yet need to give up her council seat if the investigation results in criminal charges.

In other election news, perennial candidate Shannon Powell took a mere 2% off the vote, as expected. In a more surprising development, former Council member Aben Henniker lost his seat to challenger Gisele Karmin, who is new to the political scene following a successful career as an environmental preservation consultant for big businesses such as Hibbert Industries.

 		Yup, I'm fairly sure we'll see implications.

I guess we'll no longer be quite so welcome, at least with certain sections of Perplex City. Something tells me though that the Kiteway girls will need all the help they can get.

 		Ah the irony! If only Earlywine knew that it was with our help that he got into power...

But it does make you wonder how communications to earth will be affected if there is a shakeup at the academy?

 		I don't like it... I don't like it at all...

Looks like we're going to have to go underground (even more than we/our PXC collegues already were).

*places mass order of black berets and rain macs...*


Anyone think the mention of Gisele Karmin significant? Environmental preservation... wasn't there a lot of environmental stuff going on in the sentinel not long ago, random stories about huge mushrooms, and conservation for wild meadows or something...? I'll go quote-searching. Business people getting involved in politics, hmm - hidden agenda?


Damn this game. Everything's a potential clue nowadays; my life's like one big Holmes novel!

Would you be so kind as to make mine a brown leather coat and no beret, please?

 		Obviously, we're going to be moving along in a much more discreet way from now on, especially our PXC friends... I'm curious to see how Violet and Scarlett react to this latest development. Nothing on their blogs yet, though...

I hope Adrian Hon and company don't take that personally. Wink

We don't think associating with Mind Candy is shameful... In fact, we are quite proud of it. Smile
