COLONIAL BAY, Virginia (CBC) -- Could your neighbor be spying on you? There's a frightening trend that is starting to look like a page out of "1984". Calling themselves the Allied Citizens of Earth, these normal citizens are taking up arms alongside the Allied Champions of Earth by acting as informants. They watch, record, and report strange behavior of suspected aliens to leadership members in ACE, and they could be watching you right now if you've been acting in what they deem to be strange ways.

What ways, you may ask? Well, in the anti-alien fervor that's starting to take root, ACE has gone a step further from targeting aliens and attacked a metahuman that didn't look 'human'. What's next? Alien 'sympathizers'? People with genetic imperfections? Alternative lifestyle choices?

Yesterday, Peter Barton, a so-called 'Allied Citizen of Earth' spotted Alien Ambassador Indira Paxis at a cafe and reported her location to a member of the Allied Champions of Earth. Barton then stalked Ambassador Paxis, reporting her activities to ACE so that an ACE-hired mercenary could make an attempt on her life in the streets. While an unknown samaritan captured Barton, a mercenary named Lazer, and saved Paxis' life, others have not been so lucky. There are increasing reports of ACE attacks on abnormal looking metahumans, with the help of reports from 'concerned patriots and citizens'.

Police are recommending citizens of unusual appearance not travel alone in public at night, but there is still no comment on what is being done to address this growing threat among us.
