Outtake from Anthony Williams' "Back from the dead" report:
"After a year of idling, prime minister Verndari finally decided to act against the cult known as the Phoenix order. The nation's political leader decided to interfere himself after he was informed of potential medical exploitation happening at the site of worship."
"A raid performed by law enforcement on the cult's headquarters resulted in the death of Jake Igel, high priest of the order, and the arrest of twelve leading figures associated with him. The arrested are in police custody and are awaiting trial. The charges against them include, but are not limited to, money laundering, medical malpractice, bribing of public officials and unlawful human experimentation."
"Helen Drage, owner and CEO of Fates Ltd. and also past business partner of the late high priest, offered to pay for all damages caused both by the government and the now disbanded cult. In a statement she said the following:"
'It is truly shameful that I, even if indirectly, contributed to such atrocities. The least I can do is help those who have been harmed by them.'
"In other news, king Aereus disputed the long-standing allegations around a potential marital affair and the crown princess' illegitimacy. He has been quoted as saying:"
'I have no idea where she came from! Mira just showed up one day with the kid! I never even had a girlfriend before our marriage!'
