12 May 2074 – Paris, France –General Henri Nahaer, Saedur-Krupp’s Commander of European Security Forces has formally lifted the continent wide 9 PM curfew to midnight. “Security has improved,” said the General, “and so we are able to extend the Curfew to midnight, allowing Europeans to go abut heir lives in a more civilized manner.”
Security certainly has improved on the continent since SK took over in December. Crime rates have been cut to a third of their previous levels, though they have not returned to levels seen prior to Armistice Day. Its zero tolerance policy has also further thinned the Union’s population, as an estimated 22,000 were exiled for rape, looting, and violence. “We will once again be the candle of civilization that burns in the darkness,” said the General.
SK stock rose 4% on the news.
