Announcer: New broke earlier of Diesel 10's escape from the yard where he was being held during the numbered diesels hearing. Furthermore, the recent appearance of a Diesel "XXX" has caused the government to take drastic action in light of these new threats. We now head to a press conference called by recently reinstalled general Wallace Fisher; commanding officer of the recently recommissioned Operation: Rail Warfare.
General Wallace: Thank you for coming; I am here to brief you all on the recent unfoldings concerning the diesels. Based on intelligence reports, we believe that Diesel 10 has become delusional again, and is once again pursuing a nonexistent engine named Lady, and the nonexistent "magic railroad" to destroy them. The threat he poses to the safety of the island of Sodor, plus the new threat of Diesel XXX has forced drastic measures to be taken- Operation Rail Warfare has been reactivated, and one of our engines has been modernized and upgraded to meet 21st century standards. This diesel is armed with 4 missile launchers, and carries 12 missiles total. His goal is to disable Diesel 10, and only destroy as a last resort. Currently, diesel XXX is secondary, as he has not been seen for some time.
Rest assured, the crew of Diesel 18 are highly trained professionals, and will not endanger any civilian life. I will now open the conference to questions.
reporter 1: Will Diesel 10 be destroyed?
Fisher: only as a last resort; when we catch him we intend to have him undergo psychiatric evaluation given the intensity of his delusions.
reporter 2: is there concern over the fact that 18 hasn't been run in years?
Fisher: we put him in mothballs, he is fine. He was ready for service after some modernization.
reporter 3: will rail warfare be reactivated long term?
Fisher: unlikely; after this mission, I intend to go back to retirement. I only came back because I knew the diesels, they would respond well to me.
reporter 4: Have you heard from David D'Levin on this matter? Is he aware of this mission against his engine?
Fisher: I reached out to his representatives and got no reply. But at this point, we must consider Diesel 10 a threat and he will be dealt with accordingly.
Reporter 5: what if there is a magic railroad?
Fisher: THERE IS NO MAGIC RAILROAD. Repeated surveys of the area and satellite imaging confirm there is no siding in the area Diesel 10 described.
