Evacuation following Accident at Genetic Engineering Laboratory
30th July 2020
An accident at the Royal Laboratory for Genetic Research has led to an evacuation of all surrounding towns after it is feared that a chemical "hazardous to human life" managed to leak into surrounding water supplies. The laboratory has been researching cross-breeding of species of equine animal in an attempt to create what is known in mythology as a unicorn. The project is funded by Prince Angus, the fourth son of our glorious King Sugan Efiecm XIV.
The unicorn engineering project has been criticised by foreigners and traitors as a "waste of money", while proponents of the programme have stated that a success would lead to a massive increase in tourism which will boost the economy. Currently, Zargothrax struggles to entice tourists apart from during large royal festivals and the yearly medieval convention which takes place outside the capital.
Staff at the laboratory have ensured the public that safety measures will be increased. The man responsible for the contamination failure has already been arrested and is awaiting trial to determine whether or not he acted maliciously, which will determine his sentence. Three locals from the area have ended up in hospital as a result of the chemical spill, and many locals are calling for the technician responsible to be executed.
His Majesty the King has made no comment on the matter, but Prince Angus, age 7, told the Thraxian Royal Telegraph: "it's not fair, I just want my unicorns! All the princes in the storybooks have unicorns, why can't I? My uncle gave me all this money and I gave it to those scientists because they told me I would get a unicorn. Why shouldn't I have a unicorn?" Readers are reminded that the Prince is seven years old.
