Apocalypse Defense Group headquarters were somehow blamed for an attack, and the unsuspecting Merman Brothers Consortium, who was just enjoying the show, was suddenly slapped with the accusation. "What the heck," they thought, "even snacking on melons can bring disaster."
They had reason and might on their side, but the scandal was pinned on them so swiftly, so precisely, and so darkly, that the Merman Brothers Consortium immediately issued a statement: they absolutely wouldn't take the fall for this... but you know, explanations are just cover-ups, and cover-ups herald the truth.
Does the truth matter?
No, it doesn't!!!
The public craves scandals, the media craves hot topics, officials just want to smooth things over quickly, and no one else really gives a hoot.
It's like when A and B are bickering, and C gets killed in the crossfire; there are countless cases like this.
