[QUOTE="Relique du Madde, post: 5661198, member: 42169"] [B]Ti'aT[/B] The indo shakes his head. "No, those bells mean they are making an announcement." [b]Old Church Plaza[/b] As the the pobladores slowly make their way to the church plaza, they imminently notice that their is a small contingent of lancers positioned outside of the church, dressed in brown and black. Each of the lances are flying a green, white, and blue banner with what appears to be the image of a bear emblazoned in it's center. Several feet away from the contingent of lancers is a brown haired man dressed in a dark suit who is speaking with a priest, and the pueblo's elderly Mayor, Vicente Sanchez. As soon as the crowd numbered in the low hundreds, the man in the suit motions to one of the lancers who quickly ran towards the bell ringer. The moment the bells went silent, the man stepped forward with the priest at his side. "Muchachos y muchachas, gather around and rejoice! Two days ago, on the 20st day of February of the year 1845, Governor Manuel Micheltorena and his criminal army, was been crushed by the combined forces of Alta California. This occasion was marked by a blessing from the almighty father, who in his supreme judgement had blessed our nation and delivered us from the oppressor's clutches without any of our brothers and sisters being harmed or injured by the armed brandished against us by our foul enimy. On behalf of our territorial authority, the legislative assembly of Alta California, I am here to announce the liberation of our people from the imperial yoke of the Mexican dictator López de Santa Ana and the formation of our sovereign nation, La República de Alta California. Under unanimous consent of our wise legislature, speaker of the house, Pio Jesus de Pico has been named Presidente of the Republic, may god protect his soul and my the divine virgin watch over our land. El Presidente has decreed, the formation of a Grand Militia of the Republic, which shall aid in defending our people from Mexican reprisal." "My friends, time is of the essence. Our nation requires as many riders as possible to help spread the joyous new of our liberation and to help gather troops for the upcomming battle. Our republic will require men or women who can also converse in English, and in the tongue of the natives. Those who are interested, shall be rewarded greatly, so be not afraid to come forth if you are loyal or have any inquiries that need be answered."
