War is declared on Mega-City One!

This is a message from Total War High Command - the citizens of Mega-City One have suffered under the yoke of Justice Department fascism for too long. The Judges must be removed by all means necessary, and it falls to us to make sure that power is restored to the people.

We are declaring war on the Judges, and will not shrink from our task. The city will be engulfed in a cleansing fire, and make no mistake, there will be casualties.

The survival of the Big Meg is hanging in the balance, and the clock starts ticking in Prog 1408 (22 September 2004). The correspondents John Wagner and Henry Flint will be reporting these historic events as they happen.

Justice Department will be destroyed.

That is all.
