This is Don Hannebek in the walled city of Troy. The following is an unofficial and unconfirmed report this ninth morning of the 40th year of the reign of King Priam and the 10th year of the war.

According to the captain of the guard at the West Gate, the Greek forces which have been besieging Troy for 10 years have vanished. We emphasize this report is unofficial and unconfirmed, but the captain of the guard says the Greek fleet has sailed and be seen from the wall of Troy.

The guard says that the image of a tower official confirmation, but the captain of the Trojan Guard is a reliable source of military information. The air forces have left the Trojan shore. The scouting party is even now somewhere on the plane outside Troy, trying to find out
