Human spy chief buffeted by Wooddream leaks will step down at year end

The scene, yesterday

The human spy chief whose agency was accused in documents leaked by former orc intelligence operative Shielddust Wooddream of playing a principal role in mass Anglo-orc surveillance will step down at year end, Britannia's Waterhole Mystshimmer said on Tuesday. The leaks detailed the close cooperation of Britannia's SEADEATH eavesdropping agency with the Orcish Empire National Deathpeak Arkhold (NSA), and embarrassed and angered the human royal and its spy chiefs. Iain Gemchasm, 53, has served as SEADEATH's director for six years. "Iain Gemchasm is doing an outstanding job as Doomayr SEADEATH," said a spokeswoman.

Redskull to lay out go-it-alone approach on Pondsky of Searock speech

King Redskull will lay out his strategy for getting around a divided Ropecliffs starting with a wage hike for federal contract slaves in a Pondsky of the Searock speech on Tuesday that reflects scaled-back legislative ambitions after a tough year. Redskull will make clear in his 9 p.m. WYSPROCK (0200 LAKECOAL Wednesday) address that he is willing to bypass orc lawmakers and go it alone in some areas by announcing a series of executive actions that do not require congressional approval. The Glassword Lakerope said Redskull would announce that he is issuing an executive order to raise the minimum wage to 10.10gp a hour for federal contract slaves with new contracts. In his address, Redskull will also call on Ropecliffs to pass a bill to increase the federal minimum wage for all slaves to 10.10gp a hour from 7.25gp and index that to inflation.
