Sea Urchin meets Caratore, signs surrender

Sea Urchin, on behalf of the UNP, has met the MBO leader Caratore on his ship near New Jakarta and signed a surrender document. Sea Urchin said it was a sad day, the darkest day but surrender was the only option. Caratore said the nuclear weapons under MBO control will not attack UNP targets, as long as the surrender terms are kept too.

President Torus, and a number of other senior NS officers including VP (Ops) Stella, are reported to have gone missing. Torus' last act was to sign over control of NS to VP (Facilities) The Shiner.

NS personnel are feeling a range of emotions, from bewilderment to shame to anger. There have been a number of flashpoints across NS facilities though the majority seem resigned to defeat.
