Ghumada Satellite Destroyed by Aggressive Space Race

The Ghumada Panel of Foreign Affairs (GPF-Affairs) is on high alert as the capital has been sealed to complete lockdown this week. Of course, no one usually tries to get in or out of the walls, due to the dense and deadly jungle outside the walls with many roaming beasts, but the newly formed panel has felt it necessary to post several informative brochures on various poles and dead trees around the slums. No live trees were utilized to display brochures, as that would be considered animal cruelty.

Last month, the GOSA launched the first atmospheric satellite into orbit. The project was a complete success ;the team of scientists in charge of the project (consisting of two of Gordon Gordon’s inexperienced apprentices) reported that they were able to view several images beamed down from the satellite using an apparatus of a complex series of mirrors aimed at the sky. This allowed them to see, for the first time in Ghumada History since the explosion of 33 that wiped out 98% of civilization on Ghumada, a rough image of the orbital sphere that the country is located on. The image surprised them, revealing that the continent containing Ghumada and Gordhongho is not the only land mass on the planet. Through grainy pencil sketches, they were able to see a large land mass to the north, previously undiscovered.

They would have been able to collect more data, but the satellite suddenly went offline in an unexpected incident. The last image the scientists recall is a strange humanoid space explorer hurtling towards the satellite. The chilling image has been shared below, view at your own risk:

An advanced race, previously unknown to Ghumada experts, has been living undetected on the same planet and has apparently been inhabiting space. Lead scientist Gordon Gordon has been consulted to discuss this problem with the GPF-Affairs, but he is nowhere to be found. It is believed that he has wandered off into the jungle again, according to his research and lab assistant Orkle Albana.

Just 25 minutes after the discovery of the startling image, a mysterious parachute floated down from the sky, landing directly in front of the dirty shack that the GPF-Affairs has chosen to occupy for secret meetings and stuff. The message contained a threatening message written in a complex unknown format. Nobody was able to decipher the message, as it was printed in an unknown language consisting of several hundred characters made up of weird lines and dots, but the general consensus among officials was that the message was a proposal for war.

The newly discovered continent seemingly occupied by a superior race with strange head projections has been named Crombolia until further data is gathered. It was pointed out that the strange calcified appendages beaming out from the helmet in the mysterious space image resemble those of Carver Kerver, the former presidential candidate that tried to take over Ghumada. The observation was dismissed, as nobody listens to anything Bronson Swanlick the janitor says.
