The Case of the CNG Powered Vines
Leo the Patriotic Lion: (narrating) Leo the Patriotic Lion here. CNG never stops, so my legacy as President will basically be nothing but one CNG attack after the other, only to get interrupted by occasional raids from the GSAF or AIRAF. The case we checked in South River, New Jersey was a good example of that. Now the pattern was going to continue, but with a different factor: vines. (No, not the internet memes. Actual vines, people. Get with the program; you know I don't use the internet!)
*Later, in Houston, TX, the city is covered in climbing flowering vines. The city government has paid gardeners from across the city to help trim down the vines and help clear the streets from them. The gardeners are wearing beekeeping suits to protect themselves due to numerous honeybees being prevalent in collecting pollen from the flowers on the vines.*
Gardener 1: Must be those CNG smugglers again!
Gardener 2: According to the cops, some of the CNG here came from Macao.
Gardener 3: *He grabs some shears from his work van before trimming down the vines off a wall.* Macao, from what I heard, is the gambling capital of this world.
Gardener 4: I was on the internet, and I saw videos from Macao, where a flood of silver coins busted out the windows of hotels and casinos due to CNG smugglers there.
Civilian 1: I've been to Macao before. Those silver coins you're talking about are $1 pataca coins (or MOP $1). I've seen CNG smugglers get buried alive in those, and that's how they die.
Civilian 2: Wow... I thought the travel restrictions around this world is supposed to lessen the CNG crisis in Macao but somehow, it's still getting worse. Meanwhile in Las Vegas, it's rare.
Civilian 3: I just hope CNG doesn't get carried on those bees and pass on to other people.
Civilian 4: Say; that gives me a good question to ask! *To the C.I.D.F. soldiers.* Can wildlife carry trace amounts of CNG and pass it on to other people?
Gardener 5: *He removes the vines off of a window of someone's home.* There!
Civilian 5: Huh? Thanks! I'm finally getting some sunlight indoors here!
C.I.D.F. Soldier 1: *to Civilian 4* CNG can do absolutely anything it wants. The wildlife won't know it's carrying it, but it is possible. Here, it decided to make all these vines grow to unimaginable proportions.
C.I.D.F. Soldier 2: If the bees were to carry the CNG, it would have negative effects on them, and they wouldn't be able to transfer the nectar, and do all the things bees do in terms of making honey.
Civilian 4: Oh, dear heavens; no! If that's the case, the price of honey is going to go up here, because the beekeepers may not produce enough honey to meet demand. China is the global producer of honey, but if the CNG crisis in Macao makes it to mainland China, then I have to pay extra for honey from Greece, Turkey, or Israel!
Civilian 5: There's a reason why the world makes an enormous deal over honeybees! Life without honey is no life at all!
Civilian 3: Argentina produces good honey, but I hope the CNG incident from their last Superclásico doesn't ruin their production to this day.
Civilian 4: Can you check if those bees are carrying CNG? Because life won't be the same without honey and I'm going to go nuts if CNG ruins honey production and honey prices skyrocket faster than Tesla's rockets!
Civilian 6: Is Leo and the others coming? They have got to take a look at this in Houston! Can Cripto use his powers to clear this mess of vines?
C.I.D.F. Soldier 1: I'm letting them and the honorable boss (Super C) know about it right now.
*He messages everybody.*
*later*
*We arrive, and Cripto and those with similar powers to him (i.e. Quiz King) begin to use the powers to remove the vines.*
Super C: Do you folks have any idea who or what began this, apart from the fact CNG was involved?
*Everybody shakes their head.*
Civilian 1: We were asleep in our homes when this happened.
Civilian 2: All we know is that it was in the middle of night, and bam! We woke up to this. I woke up later than usual because there was so much vines on the windows, I thought it was still nighttime, only to realize it wasn't the case. Luckily I had the day off from work, but I still set my alarm on those days, and I forgot to do so here.
Civilian 3: I watched the news, and they confirmed that some of the CNG came from some place called Macao.
Civilian 4: That and I heard they found a few smugglers who were from Belarus, wherever that is. As for Macao, isn't that the gambling capital of Earth, where Las Vegas is just a tiny town in comparison?
Civilian 3: Yes, and Liu hates that city because of that.
Civilian 5: Is Callahan Cody here?
Civilian 6: I know Leopoldo the Navigating Lion from Portugal has mixed feelings about his country handing Macao back to China because the city was supposed to provide a safe haven for Chinese Catholics but people preferred pleasure before preaching there. Eventually the Portuguese decided to return the city back to China because to them, it was a lost cause to keep a foreign city obsessed with gambling and other things and that the land wasn't theirs to begin with.
Civilian 7: Sounds like a moral tragedy in Leopoldo's eyes but in reality, it was for the best of Macao's future.
Super C: I haven't seen Cody anywhere.
Leo: Leopoldo wants nothing to do with gambling, but he says he had mixed feelings about what you just said about Macao.
Super C: I'm not surprised about the smugglers being from Belarus; there were people from that country that were so upset about the results of the Olympics, that they're going the way of the human trafficking route.
*The Fab 5 arrive.*
Cripto: Cody!
Cody: Well, what in tarnation just happened? I wake up and there's all these vines all around my ranch!
Zax: Yeah; I was wondering where all this is coming from. I had no idea these vines were coming all the way from here in Houston, and I live up in Dallas. No wonder why people up in Dallas were talking about this, and why the highways were blocked off.
Juno: We just don't have enough gardeners, don't we?
Jack: This CNG nonsense is getting worse. I still haven't forgotten about what happened in Argentina.
Zax: Macao is going to get way more than their $1 MOP pataca coins flooding their streets.
Civilian 4: And people dying because they drown in money. Talk about greed destroying somebody.
Leo: Literally.
Mechayote: I personally never been to Macao, but I have been to Vegas. It sounds like Macao is a ticking time bomb with the CNG.
Marshall: Macao is Las Vegas on steroids to the point that sleep is just a concept in that city. It's way bigger than Las Vegas, too.
*Super C breaks another vine. The super strength heroes also help break the vines apart.*
Crush: No wonder I don't like gardening. Not that I don't do any, of course.
D.D.: Likewise.
Super C: *to Jack* Don't forget Turkey. There were way less casualties than Argentina, but for the same reasons. If CNG has its ultimate wish, there will be no sports at all.
Super C: (narrating) And if that day dawns, nations will go to war just for fun, or so my mind worries. Sports are the balance between war and peace. At least they are supposed to be; there was an embarrassing incident where Honduras declared war on El Salvador because the former lost a soccer game by a single disputable goal.
Jack: *He uses a pair of shears to cut some vines before removing them.* Then life would be boring without sports, you know.
Juno: Don't forget that the Indian city of Jaipur has a lot of pink CNG, for, well, heaven know how long. It's nicknamed the Pink City for a reason there. By Indian, I'm talking about India, the country.
Zax: There's been reports of CNG smugglers in Jaipur turning into pink marbled statues. It's really bad there, too.
Marshall: So apparently in Macao, there's green, gold, and silver CNG and in Jaipur, it's just pink CNG. Good thing we can trace the origins of these CNG variants.
Bob: The Macao variant is becoming more prominent throughout the world meaning more CNG smugglers have been to Macao. If pink CNG, then it's likely they've been to Jaipur in India.
Zax: Me thinks the Jaipur pink CNG variant is worse than the Macao CNG, since they turn people into pink marbled statues.
*Some civilians uncover CNG smugglers from the vines who have been transformed into pink marble statues.*
Civilian 1: What the...?! No!
Civilian 2: Cody! Look at these pink marbled statues! They look like your typical CNG smugglers!
Civilian 3: Don't touch them! Let the C.I.D.F. handle this one!
Civilian 4: This one looks like one of them coaches from Belarus!
Zax: That's because he was one of them!
Civilian 5: WHOA! Yo! Take a look at this!
Civilian 6: Super C! Look at these pink marbled statues! Have you seen anything like this before?!
Civilian 7: Oh, goodness! This is way worse than I thought! Mr. President! Have you seen CNG turn people into statues before?!
Leo: Actually, I think I witnessed that when I traveled to India. It was this same pink marble.
Super C: CNG reasoners tell us this is how CNG is killing people nowadays, especially smugglers. It's almost comparable to when Lot's wife turned into a pillar of salt.
Civilian 2: Why did that happen?
Leo: She disobeyed God by looking at Sodom and Gomorrah as it was being destroyed. (narrating) I checked with Levon on that, and that was the reason.
Zax: Mount Sodom is where you still see Lot's wife as a pillar of salt to this day. It's in Israel, and Lior will tell you it's there.
Juno: *To Super C* About the green, gold, and silver CNG from Macao. When they combine to generate absurd amounts of wealth complete with gold sometimes, is there always $1 MOP pataca coins from Macao, or can it be any currency regardless if they are from Macao or not?
Marshall: Sounds like we have to be on the lookout for $1 MOP coins appearing out in public out of nowhere then.
Super C: Whenever that happens, the currency is determined by what nation you are in. The last time that happened here in the States, it was spitting out those $1 coins with all the Presidents on them, from George Washington to Donald Trump. (They're not ready to put Leo on a coin yet.)
Leo: Whereas if this was the United Kingdom, it would spitting out £1 coins. I think.
Super C: Whatever the 1 of something is, that's what it produces. Note to self: brush up on my currencies.
Zax: I see.
Mechayote: Even that, you don't know if one of those smugglers could be carrying a bag full of Macanese patacas.
Juno: I hate to say this, but when Macao decided it would be a good idea to import pachinko machines from Japan, that only lured in way more CNG smugglers. Then again, whatever agreement China and Portugal agreed on, the Chinese government still wants that tax money from gambling, and Portugal just basically said "Sure, why not? But in the end, that's your city, not ours."
Zax: I wonder if the CNG that turned our high school teens into furry marching band performers are from Wildcat City? If so, wouldn't that CNG be the Wildcat City variant?
Super C: The ones that turned the high school kids into furries were smugglers from TBTC, or Turn Back the Clock. I don't recall CNG having any "variants" like the COVID-19 virus would. Thank heavens that is over. I mean about the virus.
Zax: Then I could say that CNG probably originated in Wildcat City but I'd only be partially correct.
Juno: Probably. First TBTC wanted to use CNG to wipe out furries if I remember correctly. Then the others going to Macao in hopes of hitting the jackpot the worst ways possible. And now Belarussian coaches looking for furry athletes over their results in the recent Olympics. I wonder what other drama will Beijing 2022 bring us?
Jack: Don't jinx us.
Juno: If we go to China then, I want to see Macao just to see how bad things are with the CNG.
Zax: I can tell you it's way more than bad enough to give Levon a heart attack.
Juno: Imagine how crowded Macao would be if Furry Fury held a concert there.
Zax: They'd probably need to prepare 6 months in advance at least, but there is no way Furry Fury would even think about the gambling capital of Earth. They avoid Las Vegas like the plague, too, and Las Vegas is so tiny compared to Macao!
Super C: No, I don't think CNG originated in Wildcat City, Zax. It's been a problem ever since the world began, and it is what led to the destruction of all the Forsythian planets except Kriegland, since Bendraqi and his cronies destroyed it with their Laser Beam 5000 (which has since been destroyed itself by, ironically, CNG).
Cripto: We avoid all gambling cities like the plague, so we don't go to Reno, Atlantic City, or Monte Carlo either.
Leo: What if you were to go to that Formula 1 race?
Cripto: Then we'd go to Monaco. Otherwise, no.
Leo: (narrating) It took us about four hours in total, but we finally got all the vines out of the way, and people were free to live their lives again. To help everybody's morale boost, I had Cripto summon portals, so that the lions in the U.S. Lion Corps Band could march in (they were already practicing and in uniform anyways, and so they went ahead and came on through), and after a large number of measures of nothing but drums, the band broke into a rousing rendition of "The Cassions Go Rolling Along," the theme of the U.S. Army (though there may be multiple versions of the song; the band just played the one they did the most). It was to boost morale, but it also represented the band's affiliations with the U.S. Army before they merged to represent the U.S. military as a whole.
Tom the Patriotic Tiger: (narrating) The U.S. Tiger Corps Band was the same way, except it was with the U.S. Navy. The merger came as a result of death threats from a terrorist attack on one Army-Navy game, and the terrorist preached that the rivalry between the Army and the Navy, sports and beyond, was unacceptable because both branches served the same country, so why should they hate one another? Well, we don't hate one another.
Super Slash: (narrating) No, we don't. In my times as a soldier, I had missions where I worked alongside the Navy. The rivalry is just for the sake of having that football game, among other reasons, but the two bands felt they were doing the world a service with the mergers. Despite the mergers, it's still common to see the lions cheer for the Army, and the tigers the Navy, when it comes to those bands.
Super Tom: (narrating) I can confirm that in my career as a Navy pilot, I also had missions that required me to work alongside the Army, even on the battleground. Thankfully the 112th Tiger Troopers (Super Slash's unit) never lost a battle after Vietnam.
D.W.: (narrating) Still, CNG turning those people into pink marble statues was a fate I felt was worse than dying. I'm professional, so I can't, but it was enough to make a grown female puma such as myself cry. I don't imagine that being the way to go.
Cripto: (narrating) Nobody does, but it was the way these smugglers were dying, and nobody wanted to keep the statues. Some still stood as a reminder of what happened to smugglers, while in other parts of the world, people were grabbing sledgehammers and destroying the statues. The souls and spirits had separated from the bodies, so I guess it was safe to do that, but I wouldn't. I commented on this when I wrote my monthly reports that Junira requires us D-19 members to write.
But even with the CNG crisis going, the United States, a mere child compared to the rest of the world, was still leading the way, and there was no doubt that even after his time as President was over, Leo would reign supreme as the Galactic Emperor of the Universe.
In due time, my new game shows were set to debut, so marking that, let me close by reminding you to help control the pet population by having your pets spayed or neutered. Good night.

THE END
As more CNG smugglers tragically die by forever turning into pink marble statues, the lethal substance also causes vines to grow all over Houston, Texas.

Konrad: This whole talk about Macao kinda makes me want to go there. If that's the city the world obsess on these days, I want to see if Macao is really Las Vegas on steroids.
Chuong: Well you're in luck; no pun intended. Right before and during the Beijing 2022 Olympics, you can visit that city.
Zax: I kinda want to go there out of curiosity too.
Juno: Me too but we won't gamble!
Chuong: But that city cannot go one day without dealing with CNG-related incidents.
Kang-Dae: I've been to Macao before; it is very easy to get lost if you don't pay attention to your surroundings. Liu on the other hand knows that city off from memory and won't need GPS and signs to get around there.

Levon: No, don't gamble; you might get addicted.
Cripto: I know I would. I'd also be addicted if I was to start buying lottery tickets.
Leo: If you do visit, you may want to consult with Liu on where to go and what to do so that you don't gamble.
Super C: And so that you can be on the lookout for CNG smugglers.
