Speaking in the smouldering ruins of downtown Ferveo City to a thousand-strong crowd of shaken onlookers, Ms Saxon informed the crowd that everyone above her in the chain of command, including President Seismos, had been murdered in an unprecedented attack by the Fervean Values Force, who had also detonated the bombs in Ferveo City.
She also reassured the public that "there is no further cause for concern. The leaders of the FVF have been either killed or arrested in a joint Fervean-Jageran-Pagemaster assault on a fortified island some distance southwest of Exordium Island.
"While we mourn the deaths of our elected government, we must all play our part in rebuilding our nation, one step at a time. While I hesitate to take on the mantle of Acting-President, I will take the post until our nation recovers from this terrible tragedy.
"We are the future. As Ferveans we cannot allow terrorists to break our spirit. I look forward to building a strong nation, stronger than ever before, with the full support of the Fervean public."
"Let us move forward into a brighter future, starting with the reconstruction of this city. Peace through politics. Thank you." She then stepped from her makeshift platform to enthusiastic applause and took immediate command of the military presence in the city.
