"Good evening, citizens of the Empire. This is the Blackwood Broadcast Network, the only authorized voice of truth in this sovereign domain.

Tomorrow… is the day."
(Dramatic pause. The screen pans to glowing banners showing the Blackwood emblem pulsing red and black.)
🏰 HEADLINES: THE BLACKWOOD NATIONAL GATHERING
🕛 What Is It?
A nationwide mandate from Empress Amara Blackwood herself. Attendance is non-negotiable. All levels of society—from First Class to Surviving Citizens—must report to their designated viewing or physical attendance zones. Those assigned to Capital Blackwood must arrive no later than 0700 hours.
📢 What We Know:
The Empress will deliver a public address at noon sharp.
Every screen, drone, and communicator will be tuned in automatically.
Non-attendance, disobedience, or disruption is classified as treason.
Rumors persist that a major declaration concerning the Empire's future will be unveiled.
🎖️ Analysis:
The air is thick with tension. The streets are silent, save for the roar of B.A.M. tanks and patrol drones.
Political experts from the Blackwood Imperial Institute suspect that the Empress may announce:
A shift in the leadership structure.
A new law expanding the Number Hierarchy.
Or... a consolidation of power to redefine the structure of the Empire altogether.
With Emperor Chris Blackwood's unexplained disappearance over the past month, many eyes are on Amara—not just as Empress, but as potential sole ruler.
👁️ Citizen Sentiment: Interviews across zones reveal a mix of fear, awe, and anticipation. Some Surviving Citizens see tomorrow as a moment of reckoning. First Class elites are quietly terrified. Military officers, especially those in B.A.M., remain silent. Orders are being executed with machine-like precision.
And amidst it all… no one has seen Chris Blackwood.
🕊️ The Unseen Variable
Where is the Emperor?
His prolonged silence has turned from rumor to worry. Is this Amara's era fully beginning? Or is this merely an extension of his will? The Empire waits with bated breath.
