...After months of travel the now tired and weary Dr. Decapod arrives at the source of the sounds that piqued his interest so. Before him, a marble beautifully painted with more salt water than he could ever imagine!
Upon further inspection his eyes are drawn to these massive scars and scabs littered across the azure wonder. He approaches, and notices poorly protected crabpeople, ones who have apparently lost any interest in gathering the most beautiful pebbles.
No, it seemed these strange inhabitants had only interest in weird activities, unrelated to obvious mating patterns. Something was clearly wrong.
Will Dr. Decapod ever find the sound he's been looking for?

You are watching the Western World Broadcasting Company, WWBC
It is April 10th 2058 and I'm Douglas Van Kleefe.
And here are tomorrow's headlines tonight:
Tensions rise in the mediterranean as the Eastern Coalition province of Turkey surrounds the island of Lisbon. Experts are saying this is just another potential for war between the two world states.
In related news, the shipping and transport of oil has completely halted because of the conflict, dropping the price of oil to 1500$ a barrel the lowest it's been in the last decade, a 200% drop.
Economists and business insiders say that this trend is likely to continue,
dropping a further 100% in the next few weeks this downward trend is going affect the western atlantic provinces the worst. As their biggest export has been petroleum for the last 100 years.
In other economic news, the European Union of Car Manufacturers has ceased production for the next five weeks in all facilities. The Union, the largest of it's kind in the world, has come to this decision based on recent trade agreements with the Eastern Coalition. They feel they are being undercut by the trade agreement and their communications director Pierre L'Obtuse says that "they are unable to compete in a rigged economic system".
The Eastern Coalition's minister of manufacturing, Gregor Borshkov, says that "this is a sabotage attempt made by these western companies, and that they are trying to further destroy the trade and economic agreements between the two countries."
and from the homefront Prime Minister Devlin LeChance spoke about the 2032 attack that necessitated the formation of the western world. He spoke solemnly about his grandfather's participation in this event. and thanked the people of the western world in their cooperation in this new great country, which we all share.
Colonies in the west Caribbean have been protesting the western world occupation, protesters have been citing issues such as economic inequality, secret police and racism by the western world forces. the western world police chief in the Caribbean has stated that this is just simply the voice of a loud minority in the Caribbean and that the general public is quite happy with the occupation.
And finally, a study shows that a Western World marriage is likely to last 30% longer than an Eastern Coalition one. The study cited Prime Minister LeChance's familial policies aswell as the general economic purity of the Western World as a major contributor to this.
Thank You for watching the WWBC, be sure to watch tomorrow night, with me: Douglas Van Kleefe. Thank you, and Good Night.
