In what is described by dissidents as "nothing short of a miracle", one of the cabinet ministers managed to escape the junta's grasp. Lily Stloncht, Minister of Transportation, was secretly on holiday in Transsuneria. She has gathered the support of Irykia's garrison and has declared an emergency interim government in the overseas territory, with herself as both acting President and acting Prime Minister. The junta has declared the military officers who overthrew the pro-junta commanders "traitors of the first degree".
