View source for Irish Mind Block Incident

{{Year|year=113 CE}}

[[King O'Connor of Ireland]] suddenly went missing which coincided with a significant portion of the world's [[Yetian]] population undergoing another 'unexplained screaming about cores and connections' event which had occurred several times across the past few decades. [[Islandia]] recognized the Screaming Yetians being people that the [[Sizzlean-Yetian Empire]] had placed [[Mind Block|Mind Blocks]] into that hadn't had them removed yet. Islandia suspected that this was related to the disappearance of Ireland's king, though it had no proof. O'Connor would be found roughly 3 days after he vanished, with him being found unconscious in the forest with a large scar on his head. O'Connor claimed that he had been kidnapped after he woke up, which coincided with the Yetians no longer screaming. 

After returning, O'Connor began pursuing a number of unusual decisions in an attempt to ensure this would never happen again. The first of these decisions was to claim the [[Svalbard]] islands for 'national defence' purposes. He then began mumbling about being 'blamed', how 'fine he was', while accidentally complaining about 'this thing being old. The other countries of the world grew to be concerned about this situation, especially [[Wales]], [[Sipedro]], and Islandia. Sipedro asked if Ireland was drunk, which it denied, prompting Sipedro to humorously call them 'Scared Yetians', which made Ireland blurt out how not Yetian it was. Ireland then rambled incoherently about how everyone was blaming it for something before claiming he 'needed to walk into the forest for 3 days', during which screaming events were reported among Yetians until he returned. This made Sipedro become exceptionally suspicious, which Ireland explained as 'connection interference in the communicator' which lead to it beginning to talk about 'it not being safe' and 'redirections'. Sipedro demanded to know what Ireland was up to, which was followed by it violently screaming before going silent before O'Connor was found unconscious in Dublin Palace, leaving Prince [[Ganainm Dewy]] in charge. 

Ganainm claimed that more scars had appeared on O'Connor, so he came in once O'Connor screamed into the communications systems as he thought the 'kidnappers' had returned. Ganaim questioned why O'Connor had screamed, which he was unable to verbally explain. Sipedro realised his behaviours were similar to those who had been installed with a Mind Cube, prompting them to theorise that O'Connor had been kidnapped and implanted with one as he was born after the SYE had implanted them. Ganainm was instructed to organize a procedure to remove the cube, which lead to the connection to O'Connor restoring as he claimed these claims were misinformation as he began beating his son to death, leading to a guard unsuccessfully intervening as he died. O'Connor and Ganainm then disappeared for 3 days before returning oblivious of what had happened. Ireland then re-reviewed its foreign policy, pulling out of the [[Eleventh England War]] and beginning rapid military production.
