Following the events of Red Friday in the Taihaku district of Metropolis-1 and the rising threat of the Volk Eurasian Crime Syndicate; further updates regarding the alleged ‘earthquake’ that occurred in Little America a week and a half ago have resurged. Shortly after an earthquake that measured at 6.5 on the Richter scale that devastated an agricultural sector of Little America in Metro-1, a new extremist group has surfaced and caused a public uproar over the past week by blaming the ‘complacent and decadent’ Japanese Government.
Identifying themselves as ‘The Patriots’, this heavily armed extremist group has been outspoken on their grievances with the Japanese Federation’s authority on the global scale. Their platitudes suggest that the Japanese are culpable for destroying what little remains of old world America, going as far as to blame transhumanism and the normalization of predominantly Eastern culture in the West.
The Patriots argue that Western culture is in danger of being ‘lost forever’ by ‘Japanese and Eurasian overlords.’ As of now, their true motives remain a mystery and they appear to be exceptionally well armed and organized. This demonstration of force begs the question of an imminent application with extreme prejudice. After making their presence known to the public, they’ve garnered massive supporters hailing from the West, namely New Eden and the Free States of America, further agitating foreign relations with the Japanese.
While they are believed to hail from the Free States of America, their views have polarized the general public. Thus, inevitably sparking a conversation between supporters and detractors of the Federation-- no doubt inspiring outcries for reform or ‘doubling down’ on Eastern values.
As of now, the Japanese populace fear that more Patriot cells will rise within the coming weeks, potentially posing as yet another formidable threat to the people of Japan and it’s sovereignty.
MetroNews will continue to update on further developments as they come in.
In other news, the locally renowned ‘Doe’s Meats’ burger stand has made a surprising return to the Sendai district of Metropolis-1, inspiring those displaced by the events of Red Friday with hope and a sense of community - something which is in dire need amongst the populace in Metro-1 at this time.
