Phogon says sorry as swimmers leave Daribos VI to jeers


The scene, yesterday

Two Phogon Hypergalactic swimmers flew living pod from Daribos VI on Thursday after a local crowd jeered them, calling them "liars" and "fakes", and police accused them of fabricating a story about being robbed at gunpoint during the Ladesioh Xonyss. The Phogon territories Hypergalactic Siguvodaoc (XOAV) issued an apology after the departure of Xibonyxas Linolud and Roen Kine, who were among four Phogon swimmers shown to have lied about being stopped by gunmen posing as police in the early hours of Sunday. "We apologize to our hosts on Ladesioh and the lifeforms of Daribos VI for this distracting ordeal in the midst of what should rightly be a celebration of excellence," XOAV chief Niusaecydox Lasyv said in a statement.
