THE BLACK HAND OF
PRESIDENT MENDOZA
A U.S. government dossier disclosing
secret agency information was discovered
earlier this week. Security services have
gone into overdrive to establish its source.
U.S. chiefs confirmed that a Top Secret
U.S. Government Agency operative was
arrested on suspicion of contravening the
Official Secrets Act and released pending
further inquiries. More arrests are
expected, while the largest spy hunt
in the U.S. for some years continues.
EL PRESIDENTE: U.S. GUILTY
President Salvador Mendoza
Last week’s violent uprising in the
capital of San Esperito heralded
the start of a coup as the Parliament
building was stormed by military forces.
Chaos spread to the streets as gunfire
rang in the air and the sun set over
a weekend of violence.
The leader of the uprising and new
order is General Salvador Mendoza. In
a press dispatch, the new Government
claimed to have “freed the nation from
a pack of vultures feeding off the corpse
of the national constitution.”
Since becoming president, General
Mendoza has brought in “foreign security
specialists” to subdue uprisings in the
unstable regions surrounding the capital.
Asked whether the security specialists are
mercenaries, the President scoffed,
“I will not stand by idly as parasitic
motherless dogs pillage my country.”
4
OF “BLATANT INTERFERENCE”
Pro-democracy rebels attack a munitions dump
near San Esperito.
President Mendoza has accused the U.S.
of supporting rebel causes. Mendoza
stood firm against mounting pressure
from the United States to permit United
Nations checks of his anti-drugs
program. Mendoza accused Americans
of “blatant interference” after the U.S.
hinted at its support for the rebels.
The U.S. dismissed Mendoza's claims as
“paranoid propaganda.”
VIOLENCE IN PROVINCIA MIRASOLES
Route into the village of Media Luna in Provincia
Mirasoles.
Violence erupted in the village of Media Luna
as clashes between Guerrilla forces, The People’s
Revolutionary Army of San Esperito (P.R.A.S.E.)
and Mendoza’s uniformed militia left five dead.
“Mendoza is a rabid dog that should be put to
death,” said revolutionary leader José Caramicas.
“We will not rest until our people are free.”
Caramicas continued, “You too can start an
insurgency in Government-controlled settlements.
First, start an attack on the defending forces
(police/army). Find a Guerrilla (green
x
on the minimap. Press the
the action icon
(page 9). Kill the Government forces
button when you see
icon)
!
to liberate the area and earn rewards and prestige
points.”
Following angry demonstrations elsewhere in the
province, Government soldiers have occupied the
area to deal forcibly with any further uprisings.
President Mendoza released the following
statement: “We condemn the shameful act of
attacking our officers in Media Luna and know it
to be the work of rebel looters. This behavior will
not be tolerated.”
J PRESTIGE POINTS
Earn prestige points by doing
work (liberations, side and
story missions) for Guerrillas
and the Rioja cartel. Gain
rank by earning prestige
points, and get rewards when
you gain rank. See related
story on page 10.
J SAFEHOUSES
Guerrilla missions unlock
more safehouses when you
gain rank. Upgrades enhance
equipment provided in
safehouses.
J SAVE GAME
Save your game from any save
point (located in safehouses).
Press the
the save screen. Choose
a save slot and press
the x button to save.
José Caramicas, leader of The
Peoples Revolutionary Army, was
sentenced yesterday to El Grande Fort,
the Government’s penal institution.
President Mendoza defended the
verdict, saying: “The sentencing of this
terrorist will end rebel violence!”
Caramicas’ sister, Esperanza, called
for a fair hearing for her brother, who
she believes is the victim of political
conspiracy. She has appealed to the
United States to intervene. U.S.
intelligence agencies are rumored
to be monitoring the situation.
Caramicas, a popular hero in many
provinces, will be escorted to the Fort
under armed guard. Esperanza believes
her brother’s life will be in danger once
he arrives at the prison.

MILITARY TRAINING A MUST, SAYS TOP BRASS
Take a tip from the General, and learn the game controls
by getting your military training in early.
General José Durango, a top military official, has recently
turned his considerable leadership skills to getting youths off
the street and into military training.
“I intend to provide solutions to the fundamental problems
young people face today,” he said. “The most fundamental
problem is lack of control. I believe the fastest way young
people can learn the controls is through military training.”
