Oil City Space Race With Titusville: Cold War Inevitable

The race to space has reached new altitudes between Oil City and Titusville. The capital of Eastern Crawford has found unforseen success in lawnching 3 rockets into space at an altitude of 10 feet from the ground. Mayor DumbDumb of Titusville considers this achievement a success for his county and is encouraging scientists to push for an altitude of 15 feet in future rockets.

Venango County residents are fearful of the neighboring counties recent success in lawnching a rocket into space. Many are fearing this could lead to potential nuclear warheads with the potential of dropping egg yokes on the city's of Venango.

Mayor Blunders of Oil City says he will not tolerate Titusville building said warheads. He is currently trying to pass a bill through the Venango County House of Representatives that will fund his new "VASA" program which will progress the counties research in space exploration. If the bill is passed, we will likely see a cold war between North Western PA's two major superpowers.

Tensions have progressed towards the intervention of other foreign powers with Titusville reaching out to the capital of Southern Forest County to monitor and control the border. It is not yet clear if Tionesta wants any part in the rising conflict, but Mayor Blunders believes his relationship with the Tionesta Mayor could steer him to take Venango Counties side.

"I have never met, spoken to, or even communicated with the Tionesta Mayor" states Mayor Blunders "nonetheless, I feel our relationship is strong enough to have their support in this major conflict."

While negotiations with the foreign counties continues pending, Titusville has deployed 2 troops to monitor route 8. The Venango County House of Representatives as well as the Senate are in talks about deploying county troops in response to the recent events. The county can only afford one soldier to take a three hour shift in monitoring route 8. It is likely that Titusvilles troops will be deployed from 9 AM to 12 PM Monday through Friday. Venango will then deploy their troops from 12 PM to 3 PM just as the Crawford troops are getting off work.
