Cyrus City, May 18 — Parades clogged the narrow streets yesterday as tens of thousands of men, women and children in O2 masks celebrated the victory of the United Securitarian Authority over the Cyrus Corporation. The interim-President accepted the official statement of unconditional surrender on Monday from CEO and majority stockholder Arthur Sylvano III. |

Some of the streets were evacuated as per standard EVAC procedures during a Red Level Danger Alert.

Sylvano said before he signed over all Cyrus assests to the Authority, “I do this now to prevent the further loss of—,” but his speech was interrupted by jeers from the crowd, who began chanting “Sign the damned thing.” Shaking his head in disgust, Sylvano signed his name.
The celebration radiated from Cyrus Plaza, soon to be re-named Victory Square, as 12 separate processions marched in straight lines. Parade coordinator Ubo Wee stated that “it is necessary that our parades reach every rat-infested corner of Cyrus City, so that all peoples, they know the Authority is on top. They are in control.”
The only unexpected development came as banners depicting a giant mushroom logo dropped from many of the rooftops, temporarily covering the fronts and sides of a few buildings along the various parade routes. No official explanation for the banner has been made by the Authority and the CCPD refused to comment. |
