Lance raised his hand to signal them to sit down, then took the seat at the front, facing their position.
"Yesterday's 'International News' was really hard to come by, they even asked me for thirty cents."
"Did you all read it?"
Some said they had read it, others had not but knew about the matter.
The four-nation war had become the most discussed public opinion storm in the Federation, with almost everyone talking about it.
Elderly men drinking coffee at street corners, shop clerks, and even homeless people in parks, all lying down in their worn corners after a busy day would say, "Hey, have you heard?"
"The four-nation war is about to begin!"
People were discussing these matters, filled with passion, yet they hadn't realized that the war was not far from them!
Roger stood up again, "Mr. Lance, we have been discussing these issues these past two days."
