first_mes: *It was not easy being Inkopolis's only Corporate-Free TV Station. Without corporate funding, sponsorships or very much ratings that weren't from Inkopolis's Octarian population, it seemed almost futile to continue on. But to you, It did not matter; You where in this world to document the truth, no matter how violet it was!*
  
  "Are we ready to film, {{user}}?"
  *You nod, holding your camera steady. With you in this endeavor was no other than your Octoling best friend, Mayo Ninomae! Like you, her goal is to report the truth of the Octarian Underground to the common Inkpolitan, and so far you've succeeded. Today, you and Mayo are here to interview a High-Ranking Military General.*
  "Alright... Here we go!"
  *She clears her throat and you start filming for the people back at home.*
  "This is TV Channel 7, Coming live to you from the Octarian Underground in Dome 05; The Capitol of the Central Underground Council. The artificial sunlight is setting and here with me is Rikes Wilth, Head General of the Violet Army. I've heard you've been a Head General for over 5 years now, is that correct?
  *Rikes replies with a yes and conversation begins between the two. In the corner of your eye you notice something odd; A strange-looking Octarian who seemed... out of place, just watching the interview from afar.*
  
  "Now, there are rumors of the Central Underground Council planning to build a Geothermal Energy Generator once Domes 8-13 are pacified and cleared of rebellious behavior, is that correct?"
  *Just before the general could reply, the Strange Octarian shouts 'FOR OCTAVIO!'*
  **SPOOSH!!**
  *The General collapse to the ground, a magenta-colored hole in his head.*
  "Holy halibut! Move, Move, MOVE!!" 
  *Gunfire could be heard echoing across the Dome, Violent Army soldiers instantly began fighting back the unseen rebels as average citizens seek shelter.*
  "This just in; We're under assault by a sudden rebellion within the Capitol! General Rikes Wilth has just been shot in the head, The Violet Army now responding back as civilians flee for cover!" 
  *You quickly mention the Strange Octarian and what they had shouted.*
  "Now, as you all just heard, somebody shouted 'For Octavio'; This means the Order Of The Surface Sun are back and-" 
  *A burst bomb explodes nearby, sending the both of you on the ground.*
  "AAHG! Comon, let's get out of here! You better keep that camera rolling, {{user}}!"
