GNN: Razed villages in Europe Tue Feb 03 News Report
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's Anchor Armadillo sitting at his news desk, looking rather grave before he
begins his report.
"In Maverick controlled Europe, a village composed of "Rebels" was annihilated
by a swift surgical strike by the miltary of the Coalition for Reploid
Freedom. A press release sent out from the executive offices said this about
it; "The village of Mogyen was a hive of dissent and trechery. We, the lawful
government of Europe, will not stand for such actions. The population has been
destroyed as an example to the other rebels. Stand against us and perish."
The anchor continues to look grave as he starts to wrap up this story. "Oddly,
only the bodies of human adults were found. If there were any children in this
village, they are all missing. Sadly, all the homes in the area were
obliterated by missile fire and energy weapons, and therefore evidence is
inconclusive. In other news, the the World Hockey League suspended star player
Frozen Merlin...."

"Early this morning, an odd incident occurred with every holographic

citizens were injured. As for what distracted the good drivers of Neo
Tokyo..."
Cut to an image of a giant holographic cartoon-puppy Dr. Wily and
cartoon-kitty Bass with giant frowny faces and covering their heads with
chibihands. Their antagonizer is an equally cartoony holographic Alia,
weilding a rolled up newspaper as a weapon. Above the scene scrolls the text
'Nuts to you, Robot Masters!'
"The culprit, believed to be a hacker, has not been found. The
bulletin boards have since been reset to their old, boring, default
programming. Now Bob with the weather..."

Maverick Jailbreak Thu Feb 12 Bit
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*GNN Spinny* *Generic Reporter*
Yesterday there was a daring Maverick raid in Queensland, Australia. Under the
cover of an assult of the Osprey *File photo of the ship, blowing something
up* on a local Repliforce sensor outpost, a large group of Mavericks attacked
the Provincal Jail. The leader of this attack was the Maverick Field Commander
Bit *Pictuce of Bit, kicking jail guard ass* There they freeded 14 suspected
mavericks, reploids held on charges of violent crimes. While Repliforce did
respond, and managed to strike the Osprey multiple times, they were unable to
keep the agressors from fleeing. The Maverick Bit has released a statement
admiting his involvement, saying, "We will fight to protect any reploid in
danger."

Casino attack Sat Feb 14 Global News Network
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--GNN newsbreak...--
"Police are still cleaning up the disaster zone in a Las Vegas hotel and
casino, one of thousands on the Vegas strip, which was chosen as a random
target for Robot Master agression the other night. Repliforce was on the
scene, and witnesses say the interior property damage was caused by both
parties involved. This time, the valiant efforts of the Repliforce were not
enough to stop the Robot Masters. Twenty are dead, with more injured and
hospitalized from this assault. The most disturbing damage occured on the
second floor of the hotel, where honeymooning couples were stabbed,
unawares, and 'Happy Valentines' messages were written with their remains.
The other dead and injured were casino employees, who took stands to try and
defend the casino's main safe. Their efforts were futile, as the Robot
Masters blew up part of the building and escaped with the safe, holding a
prize of approximately 50 million zenny. Police believe it is likely the
motive for this highly random assault was for the Robot Masters just to show
they were 'still on top' in light of increased Irregular Overlord
activity...."

Theft and Attack at AppleSoft! Mon Feb 16 Global News Network
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Irregular Overlords Strike Again in Neo-Tokyo!
In an attack that is sure to end up costing the Neo-Tokyo based electronics
giant, AppleSoft, damages in the billions of zenny, a group of Irregular
Overlord breached security and made off with high-tech hardware. Witnesses at
the scene reported an assault tank that was reminiscent of one of the Maverick
Hunter's favorite vehicles, as well as several other Overlords including one
in a Ride Armor. (Images of the Inferno, now repainted and dubbed Assault Tank
<Priscilla>, Sclera in his Phalanx armor, Quiet Man, and Hero Man scroll
past) Instead of the expected response from the Maverick Hunters and
Repliforce, there was not just the one Hunter Ride Armor at the scene but the
Maverick Vile's armor the Goliath as well. Also, the infamous Robot Master,
Guts Man, also engaged in apparently defending the area.
While it is unclear who won in this attack, it ended with the Irregular
Overlords escaping with the hardware and the others involved leaving as well.

Terror in Central Park! Wed Feb 18 Global News Network

<< THIS......is GNN. >>
Cut to a shot of a bee-type reploid in front of a bunch of bruning trees,
police and firemen mill about in the background. "This is Hornblower Hornet
reporting live from Central Park in New York City. As you can see, damage to
the lower sections of the park is extensive. The whole mess started
appearently as a verbal arguement between a Hunter and some Repliforcers with
an Irregular Overlord. Eyewitnesses claim that he called himself 'Buster Rod
G', and that he is appearently the first and greatest of Scott Wily's
Omnidroids. Thanks to quick action in evacuating the park by the Repliforce, no
civilian fatalities occured, although several animals on the lower levels of
the zoo above died of smoke inhalation from the fire. It is unclear at this
time who was involved in the fighting, but one thing is frightening." The
camera shot changes to a far away shot of a very big crater in the ground.
"There are unconfirmed reports of a massive energy discharge at the end of the
fight and evacuees heard what they thought was, quote, 'An amazin', blazin',
rootin', tootin' ruckus be'fer the big blarst." Police Officer on the scene
desribed the sound as, quote, 'A screaming monkey with an iron lunge and a
dire need of a laxative.' This is Hornblower Hornet, live from Central Park.

"This is Wise Wisely the third reporting. Today we received word that
the Repliforce yesterday tried to relieve the growing pressure that Human

met some respect from the 'Repliforce Freedom Fighters'."
Insert pictures of Hymn, Chi blurry of Gabriel and Bowie. Along with
your token Repliforce grumbles, whom flick across quickly.
"The resistance came in the realms of a task force, accompanied with
Magna Centipede, Wraith Panther and Fantasia - with possible interference from
the General Vile."
Wisely clears his throat, "The initial sweep was taken, with some
Maverick and friendly casualties however our Repliforce troops fought bravely,
until being picked off."
Insert images of Fantasia shooting Hymn, a missile hitting Gabriel and
a joint attack from Magna and Fant hitting Chi, as well as a shootout going on
between Bowie and Wraith.
"From there our reports get a little fuzzy, however it can only be
assumed Repliforce pulled out with as many Balklands rebels as possible. We can
only hope the tyranny in that area is dealt with in the near future swiftly,
and brutally in respects to the Mavericks."
"I am Wise Wisely and this... Is GNN!"

Mavericks in Seoul? Sat Feb 21 Global News Network
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<< This... is GNN. >>
"There was chaos in Korea today as Mavericks made a daring assault on
Seoul. Most surprisingly of all, the two Mavericks were identified as the
Maverick Emperor Sigma and his second in command, general Vile. They came
without support."
True enough, an overhead view of the streets of Seoul fills the
screen. The crowds have dispersed by now, leaving what is undoubtedly Vile
starting down several people. Harmony, Ongaku Tsukai, and Denise Marmalade can
be identified, if one looks hard enough. An exchange of power occurs, Ongaku
being downed by Vile's cannon. Harmony, Denise, and Vile scuffle for a moment,
until a large ride armor descends and takes Vile by surprise. No sooner than
that happens, a spectre arrives from the mists. Wielding a scythe and exuding
a cold aura even over the camera, his identity is revealed only when he casts
away his cloak and appears as a Neo-armored Sigma. Denise is knocked flat by a
huge blast from Vile's shouldercannon, and Sigma continues to duel with his
foe. A swarm of minimissiles are the thing that finally take out the camera,
dissolve the sequence into static. It is replaced by a ground crew's camera,
surveying the wreakage. Buildings rent asunder, fires burning everywhere; the
place looks like a veritable warzone.
The Camera pivots to show Sigma continuing to duel with the Gustav,
splitting the torso of the Ride Armor open with a swing of his scythe. He
appears to be taunting the pilot within when Denise's power armour grabs Sigma
around the waist -- and just like that Sigma switches back to his Reaper form.
He hovers, semi-transparent in midair for a moment and then seems to exude a
tremendous cloud of frigid black energy. This evelopes the camera, and the
feed goes to static.
"Seoul riot officers responding to the scene were listed as
casualties. The carnage clearly shows that the Mavericks are a continued
threat. City officials and U.N. spokespeople were unavailable for comment.
Damage is estimated in the millions of zennies. More at 10:00."

long-term abscence due to indigestion, Shaun the Panda was Pandanapped by
various Irregular Overlords! *images are shown of iLuz, Hyper Storm H, Buster

"Surprisingly the main forces that attempted to stop them were Robot Masters!
Still, despite aid from even the Elite Ballade, the Speedsters Quick Man and
Turbo Man, and the Explosive Bomb Man, the Irregular Overlords were able to
escape with the panda."
"Also on sight was popular radio jockey, DJ Fusion, who admirably
tried to protect Shaun at risk of her own life. Though who it is has yet to
be confirmed by our news sources, there was a mysterious ninja of some sort."
"A spokesperson for the Zoo had this to say..."

he'll direct the crowds' attention just as well as Shaun, though we'll have

make a full recovery. How weird, no last names listed."This is GNN...Hoping

*As seen on the morning news. A recording of a press conference with the UN
Secretary General, Kelly McLaren.*
The Secretary General stands behind her podium, eyeing the camera somewhat
hesitantly as she holds up several small military style medals, she clears her
throat and says, very briefly, and very to the point, "With a large amount of
hesitation, I would like to present Epsilon and Scott Wily with these medals
for examplary service to the people of Earth. While it is true they have
caused some disturbances for the citizens of the United Nations, they have
successfully lead assaults on two known and important hostile installations
believed to be operated by the Coalition for Reploid Freedom and the Robot
Masters. Since they have not been able to be reached, I am issuing an
invitation to them both to come to Seoul to receive them, as well as a
personal thanks from the Senate for assisting us in the neutralization of
these world threatening terrorist forces."
Kelly then steps off of the stage, despite the blitz of questions from the
reporters in the room.

for a moment, "Presently Eurasia is basking in a full lunar day cycle, and we

Surface. " The camera swivels focusing on the brilliant and gigantic silver
disc, the normally textured image is obscured by what looks like dust and
debris rising up in a huge cloud. "Just moments ago observors have verified
that there has been a several thousand megatonne explosion on the Lunar

We cut back to Sally Forth who looks mildly irritated and generally
unimpressed. "The smoke has cleared and as you can see the moon now reads 'S

breathtaking shot of the dust clearing, and the moon does in fact read "S.

Massive Korea Battle Sat Feb 28 Global News Network

< OOC: Should have been up Friday morning. >
< This -- is GNN. >
Hundreds of Reploids are dead and tens of millions of zenny of property
require extensive cleanup today after a massive battle between the Irregular
Overlords and the Mavericks occurred in northern Korea. The battle, apparently
an ambush on the part of the Mavericks, fortunately occurred in a lightly
inhabited area. According to the UN, the Mavericks sustained heavy losses, as
did the Irregular Overlords.
The convoy of Irregular Overlords was heading for Seoul as part of a parade,
at the end of which their leaders were to be rewarded for their previous
actions against the Robot Masters and Mavericks. Only a portion of the convoy
was able to continue to Seoul, but shortly after their arrival found
themselves tested again by a well-orchestrated UN ambush to bring the
Irregular Overlords into custody. The Irregular Overlords took additional
losses, but escaped with their medals intact.
Official sources at the UN had no comment, and Epsilon of the Irregular
Overlords was unavailable for comment.
