Interview with the man! Sun May 01 Global News Network
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<GNN!>
A very excited reporter sits in the chair, beaming brightly at the screen.
"Today, we have a reploid of the famed director George Lucas here with us to
talk about his new movies, Star Wars 9: Every Last Penny, Hidalgo 2: A Horse
Named Revenge, and Indiana Jones 5: Nuking Germany. Isn't that right, George?"
He turns to a hologram of Lucas' head floating in a jar, "Glad to be here." And
smiles for the camera.
During all of this, the attentive eye may be reading the bottom text news
scrolling past the screen, one of the entries being: A young African woman was
found in a London Hospital. She appeared on the waiting room couch, with no
wounds whatsover, but diagnosis revealed extreme exhaustion and mental trauma.
Name is believed to be: Yumna Mwokozi.

Mine Cave-In Sun May 01 Global News Network
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<An article from the Yellowknife Yapper newspaper.>
Saturday night, True North Gems Inc. received a distress signal from their
emerald mine at Selwyn Mountains in the Northwest Territories. A cave-in was
first suspected as the cause of the distress signal until video footage
clearly showed a trio of Robot Masters, now identified as Cut Man, Ice Man and
Guts Man on the premise. Video footage also shows Cut Man assaulting the
company's security guards before the surveillance system themselves were
destroyed.
Of the two security guards patrolling the mine's entrance, one was
killed in the initial assault, while the second guard remains in critical
condition. From his hospital bed the man could only say that a trio of heroes
who he could not identify did show up to battle the Robot Masters.
The injured man also reported seeing the Robot Masters and the
unidentified robots exit the mine at various points before and after a
cave-in. The guard could not account seeing the Robot Master known as Guts Man
exit the mine before being whisked away to a hospital. As of this moment Guts
Man is presumed either trapped or crushed beneath the rubble.
Funeral service for the fallen security guard will be held come
Tuesday. Workers at the mine are expected to return to work Wednesday morning.
Although the Torontreal Stock Exchange is closed for the weekend, many
analysts predict that True North Gem Inc. will see a decline in the company's
stock value come Monday morning.

Gang violence erupted in Houston yesterday between the Los Dragones, a united
series of Mexican gangs that is rapidly becoming a crime syndicate, and the
Vagos, one of their rivals and a holdout in the Houston area. The Vagos were
attacked at a bar they were reported to frequent, El Sombrero Rojo, by four

An as-of-yet unidentified Reploid was at the scene, and was reportedly

May Day Violence: Maverick Attacks Wed May 04 Global News Network
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
< Information that begins circulating on Tuesday and reaches a coherent level
during the day on Wednesday: >
Reports of a large scale Maverick action in Tartarus and an unexplained
explosion near the Phillipines is allegedly the result of Maverick actions
taken against the Maverick Hunters.
The Coalition for Reploid Freedom is taking credit for numerous explosions in
Tartarus that caused extensive damage to parts of the slum district, as well
as the apparent fusion nuclear bomb detonated in the Phillipines. The Tartarus
attack apparently was an action taken against a forward Hunter position,
according to the Coalition's releases, while the explosion nearby the
Phillipines was the main Maverick Hunter facility, the "Fort Sam Houston".
Satellite photography of Sardinia supports the accounts provided by the
official Coalition sources, though no direct sattelite coverage of the
coordinates the fusion nuke was detonated in was possible. A flyover by UN
officials showed the standard rapid decay of radioactivity typical with fusion
weaponry, as well as a strip of black glass which was apparently the epicenter
of the detonation.
Additionally, numerous destroyed drone components and unusual objects have been
washing up in the Phillipines since early Tuesday. Among the unexplained items
are cylindrical objects constructed of some sort of metal which is unable to
be damaged by normal means. These objects have no apparent seams or pouring
points, but show signs of a latent energy signature. Scientists are puzzled as
to their origin or purpose.
< Image of a blackened, vaguely reddish cylindrical object >
Additionally, rumors have begun to circulate that Dr. Pavel Cossack, Maverick
Hunter scientist, may have been killed or kidnapped during the enemy action.
The Coalition for Reploid Freedom had no comment on that matter. Queries about
Dr. Cossack's status to the Maverick Hunters were not answered.

L&L Discuss Bolero Fri May 06 Global News Network
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The GNN music plays as the cameras focus on Lemon and Lime. They are sitting
behind a table in such a way that they face both the camera and eachother.
Lemon starts off, "Good evening folks," Lime continues, "And welcome to this
special edition of 'Politics In Action'. Lemon folds his hands and leans
forward, saying, "The purpose of this special edition show is to alert the
general public of a threat to the safety of the general public that has
arisen." Lime says, "GNN was alerted to this threat by the Commander of the
Fortress V, Storm Owl."
An image of Storm Owl, who looks a little plumper than usual, perhaps
just after eating some of Rolls cookies and cake, appears as a recording of
his voice says, "Bolero, a high ranking Repliforcer, has gone AWOL and is a
threat. We believe he has the Sigma Virus. Folks in Repliforce chartered
countries shouldn't accept his authorities, and Repliforce is doing all they
can..." The sound byte fades off and it almost sounds like someone says 'yadda
yadda yadda' at the end, but that could be a glitch in the transmission.
The image then switches back to the camera feed of Lemon and Lime. Lime
reads from the paper that was given to her when the camera was not one them,
"GNN would also like to say that it is advisable that civilians who see Bolero
should run away in terror, contact GNN, contact the Repliforce, and get a
viral scan. In that order." She then tosses the paper behind her and says,
"This most certainly is an interesting situation that the Repliforce has found
themselves in."
Lemon has a serious expression and says, "Yes, but I have to wonder if
this is not one that they could have easily avoided. Bolero, for a long time
now, has been something of a public relations nightmare for the former U.N.
military force. It would seem like it would be intelligent for them to let him
go before he did something really extreme, such as what has happened now."
Lime shakes her head and leans forward saying, "While Bolero was a
loose cannon at times, I believe that there are numerous people who were far
worse and yet they are kept on factions that are generally viewed as those
fighting for truth, justice, and all things fluffy and cuddly."
Lemon then interjects, "Right and I am saying, that for the sake of all
things fluffly and cuddly, these factions should do serious evaluations of
their standings and contemplate letting some of them go."
Coming up in the next post: Lime retorts, Lemon responds, and more!

Now that the commercial break is over, Lime retorts, "The point of being a
'good' faction is typically that you hope that some individuals can change for
the better, and try to hinder their actions while you wait. Sending off
troublesome members will not solve the problem. A loose cannon that is not
tied down can be influenced by anything, even something as simple as a dental
plan. It is best to keep them, and try to guide them to betterment."
Lemon chuckles and responds, "Very well, perhaps letting them go is not
the best idea, and putting them down would probably go against their
self-righteous moral code, but at the very least, they could have taken
precautions, like decreasing the individual's fire power so he can't take a
small army by himself, or get him psychological help. The Hunters have taken
on a full time psychologist in their group and they seem to be doing better
because of it. Perhaps the Repliforce or Interpol should follow similar
actions." He then sighs and thinks about the nonexistant dental plan that GNN
offers and concludes, "Ultimately, I am saying that if a faction does not like
how one of their members are acting, they should actively work towards
containing and remedying the problem rather than letting it fester and blow up
in their faces."
Lime, realizing that the man behind the camera waving his arms around
is trying to tell them to wrap it up, says, "That may be true, but the
statements 'would have', 'could have', and 'should have' have no place here
today. What has transpired cannot be fixed by thinking how things could have
been different in the past. Once again, for those of you who are just now
tuning in, it appears the that Repliforce Officer Bolero has been infected
with the Sigma Virus and has gone AWOL. If you see him, get as far away from
him as possible."

playing.

Federal Reserve Heist Sat May 07 Global News Network

In what some are calling a daring online raid, a hacker with

from the New York Federal Reserve Bank. Reports are still sketchy, but police
say that a teleporter pad was delivered unexpectedly to the building via
private courier this evening, at about the same time that their systems began

claimed that the automated drones that guard and handle the gold stored in the
vaults began to set up the teleportation equipment in the vault.
While Federal agents and, it is reported, Interpol hackers attempted to
solve the problem, some gold was stolen: the government is not giving exact
estimates, but unofficial reports are putting it in the millions. It was
clearly not a complete success... police investigators found the smoking
remains of several drones and the teleporter system, as well as gold embedded
in the vault walls, floor, and ceiling, clear signs of a teleporter mishap.

Russian Press: Find The Body Mon May 09 Global News Network

The Russian press refuses to publish, print or broadcast any assertions that
Pavel Cossack may be dead, despite the overwhelming trend of the world press
to do so. They continue to refer to him as `missing', which many international
journalists believe to be foolhardy and inaccurate.
"We will say he is dead only after we have seen the body," says Vladimir
Potemkin, editor of the Moscow Times. "Not before."
Almost ten days have passed since the attacks on the Maverick Hunters. During
that time, no word has been heard regarding Pavel Cossack's present status
from the Maverick Hunters, Light Labs, or the Cossack Foundation. Most of the
world press began claiming he was "more than likely" deceased after three days
without confirmation.
Dr. Cossack, widely believed to be the greatest humanitarian in the history of
Russia, is beloved throughout the turbulent nation for his good works for
widows and orphans, the disabled, the chronically ill and the desperately
poor. He is credited within the nation for protecting Russia from Robot Master
and Maverick aggression through his policies of massive retaliation, and his
determined anti-Maverick stance has made him into a folk hero among the
population. His difficulty with his creations and his daughter are chronicled
within the nation's tabloids, but in spite of -- or due to -- his personal
failings, he enjoys widespread favor among his people.
The Socialist Liberation Army has offered a bounty of 10,000 zenny to anyone

Positive Economic News For USA Tue May 10 Global News Network

< GNN Economic News >
The beleaguered economy of North America appears to be on an upswing,
according to economic analysts. The good news is driven by the increased sales
of defense products to the fledgling independent government of the United
States of America, which has promoted a renaissance of both human and Reploid
employment across the nation.
Along with the decrease in unemployment brought about by new defense-based
jobs and growth in the aerospace sector, there has also been an increase in
consumer confidence. Economists feel this is very positive for the North
American economy, as consumer confidence has been threadbare due to the
aggressive behavior of the Aztlan government.
President Seers discussed the improving economy during an appearance at a newly
opened aerospace development laboratory in Kansas City today. "Our economy is
recovering well from the shocks it has sustained over the past few years.
America is pulling itself up, brushing off the dirt from its shoulders, and
getting back to work. The American worker is the heart of our great nation's

Africa United? Tue May 10 Global News Network
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
< GNN Regional News >
The African Regional Government (ARG) anticipates fully incorporating the last
nations on the continent into itself by the first of June. Talk of renaming
the administrative unit has already been heard on the floor of the legislative
branch, with the front-runner at the moment being the African Continental
Government (ACG).
The ARG has faced setbacks over the past several months. The departure of the
United African Corporation from South Africa forced the young regional
government to step in to aid the newly unemployed and homeless, which taxed
its resources considerably. The World Bank has provided over a billion zenny
of aid to the ARG in addressing that situation, as well as several other
matters requiring immediate administrative attention.
"While the United African Corporation's departure was violent and uncalled
for, we are used to the politics of betrayal," a spokesman for the ARG said
during a recent press conference. "If the UAC, or any of the companies who
were supporting the UAC, ever want to do business in Africa again, we will
demand suitable compensation for the pain and suffering they have caused."
Slowing the growth of the ARG is the stigma associated with having many of its
top-ranking leaders being associated with Dr. Wily and the Robot Masters. The
ARG is quick to deny any linkages with Wily's conquest of Africa, though many
of its member nations still see Dr. Wily as both liberator and savior due to
his extensive reforms. "We will not help Dr. Wily, though we acknowledge the
good he has done for us," says a press release from the ARG. "Occupation by
violence is morally wrong, and we cannot accept or tolerate the actions of the
Robot Masters around the world."

New Pope: Theodore III Tue May 10 Global News Network

< GNN World News >
After a lengthy period of uncertainty, Pope Theodore III has been officially
announced to be the new leader of the Catholic Church. Catholics around the
world were finally informed as to their new spiritual leader early today when
a video news release was uploaded to the Vatican's web site.
The Church had been very hesitant to announce a new Pope for fear of
assassination attempts by Maverick insurgents. The lengthy interregnum period,
while not unknown in the history of the Church, was unusual by modern
standards. Only after the Church had formally relocated to Rio de Janeiro and
reestablished some degree of normalcy did the election process begin. The
lengthy deliberations were caused in no small part by many of the Cardinals
choosing to remain in hiding for fear of attacks against them.
Theodore III, formerly Cardinal Juan Delgado Castillo of Spain, is a more
conservative Pope than his predecessor. He was not particularly enthused with
the outreach program of the Church to Reploids, and favored more segregation
between Reploids and humans. His adherence to orthodoxy made him popular among
his constituents, who called him the moral anchor of Barcelona before it was
overrun by Maverick forces in recent years.
Spanish expatriates in Brazil were among the most vigorous celebrants when
Castillo was officially elevated today. Celebrations are expected to continue
throughout the week.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is Magenta Rose reporting for GNN. Startling scenes in Germany today as a
massive restoration effort takes place in Germany to revive it's absolutely
shattered ecosystem. Spike Rosered was seen leading the charge as the
Mavericks spent a massive amount of resources flying in genetically engineered
plants of the botanists own making and started planting them en masse in the
severely eroded landscape of Germany. Botanists all over the world are in a
buzz as Spike Rosered launches this amazing field experiment into his
developments.
Critics of the Mavericks believe this to be a revival of the dreaded Mecha
Schwartzwald and other social commentators are wondering if the Repliforce
will continue it's armed aggression into Germany to destroy the Coalitions
seemingly hard work into restoring Europe.
GNN will follow this story as it develops, this is Magenta Rose signing off.

US/Texas Defense Agreements Wed May 11 Global News Network
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<GNN feed.>
AUSTIN - President Vaughn of the Republic of Texas announced earlier
today that a mutual defense agreement has been brokered between Texas and the
United States.
"We may not live in the same house any more," Vaughn said, "but the
Republic of Texas and the United States of America are still brothers, and
there is no reason why brothers would need to be at odds with each other."
The Seers administration confirmed the announcement simultaneously in
Washington. Tensions between the USA and the breakaway Republic have been
high, but the potential menace of the Aztlan Neo-Arcadia regime has provided
them with the advantage of a common enemy.
Both nations affirmed their warm feelings towards Reploid citizens,
which are considered by some to be the new swing constituency due to their
mushrooming numbers and relatively new political freedoms. Both nations have
waived the age restriction on voting rights as applied to Reploids, although
the US requires a basic concepts test and Texas requires that the reploid have
been active for at least eighteen months.
Details have been sketchy, but reports indicate that a great deal of
focus was placed over easing aerospace traffic restrictions as well as
coordinating border patrols and intelligence exchange.

Moscow Farms Attacked Again! Wed May 11 Global News Network
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
< GNN Russia >
Tens are dead and hundreds are injured from a Maverick attack in the
production district of Moscow. Several acres of wheat were burned or damaged
by petroleum contamination, as well as by explosives.
Further, the Mavericks targeted crop production facilities, destroying the
contents of one grain silo with an incendiary device as well as destroying
several harvesters. One grain elevator was also severely infected with the
Sigma Virus. The estimated damages caused by the Mavericks are in the hundreds
of thousands of zenny, which does not include damage to surrounding buildings
caused by the fierce counterattack by local security forces.
Maverick Hunters and Interpol operatives responded to the attack swiftly, and
were able to contain the damage caused by the Mavericks. Numerous Maverick
drones were destroyed, and several Maverick operatives were grievously
wounded. Ultimately, the brave actions of the Maverick Hunters and Interpol
forced the Mavericks to retreat.

Russia Worsens: Unrest High Sun May 15 Global News Network
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
< GNN Asia >
A sharp increase in civil unrest in Russia has been attributed to increased
Maverick activity, as well as the uncertain fate of philanthropist and
Maverick Hunter Pavel Cossack. Violence in and around Moscow and other major
cities has been on the increase over the past week, with SLA forces making
important inroads in port cities and along critical pipelines out of the
country.
Neutral attempts to arbitrate a settlement between the various warring factions
have broken down, according to reports from UN peacekeepers in the area.
Neighboring countries fear an overall disintegration of social order may begin
to spill over into their nations, and have begun closing their borders to
Russian refugees. Further, fears of the Maverick virus have caused many
businesses to scale down or remove their operations in European Russia,
increasing the civil unrest as more and more Russians find themselves
unemployed or homeless.
Many Russians have begun to take sides in the conflict out of a desperate need
to survive. Some are joining the New Russian Army for the opportunity to earn
a steady paycheck and feed their families; others have affiliated themselves
with the Socialist Liberation Army in an attempt to recapture the former glory
of the World War III-era Soviet Union. Additionally, roaming criminal gangs
operating on the wastelands of Europe have begun to intrude into Russia, which
has many riches to plunder.

Robot Masters: College Bound? Sun May 15 Global News Network
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
< In `News of the Weird' >
Could your child be going to college with a Robot Master? This may happen to
you if your child is attending the University of Eurasia, which is processing
an influx of applications from Robot Masters led by the Supreme Force
Commander Bass.
The applications, apparently driven by the recent announcement of Professor
Gate's teaching position there, have caused controversy among the university's
Board of Regents, which has tried -- and failed -- to find a method by which
to ban the Robot Masters using what few restrictions they have placed on
enrollment.
"The University of Eurasia must be open to all, even the enemies of democracy,"
a public statement released by the Board said. "So long as they obey our rules
and accord themselves as scholars, we must allow them to attend."
The Robot Masters have allegedly been in talks with local property owners to
find a property to occupy on the station. Additionally, an application for
official recognition of the Robot Master fraternity "Rho Mu Omega" has been
filed by Bass Wily, and appears to be imminently accepted by the university.
Eurasia and the Robot Masters have had a turbulent history, with the station
facing a takeover attempt by Dr. Wily during its initial opening. However,
Eurasia maintains that it will remain neutral in the continuing conflict on
Earth between the Robot Masters and the rest of the world, which has forced it
to regularly accept Robot Master visits to the station.

for many years, fighting alongside us to make the world a better place. I knew

each with their own hopes and dreams. They were friends, families, and more.
And they have been taken from us too soon."
Cut to Shining Firefly. "You could argue that they died fighting a
greater evil so that others may be free, but then why did that specific
individual have to die? Why couldn't it have been somebody else? Why couldn't
he or she have lived just a little longer? These are the questions that war

it was a miracle, if an odd one, though others were quick to rebut: 'But, it
missed.' More skeptical citizens believe the attack may have been staged to

been killed at the hands of Storm Eagle, has in fact survived, and in fact
joined the Coalition for Reploid Freedom. Whether this was all an elaborate
hoax by Glaive and Storm Eagle, or something else, is as of yet undetermined.
It would seem the thanks to Glaive was very premature. The Capcom Global News

Pressure for RF vs MH? Fri May 27 Global News Network
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<This... is GNN>
Chest appears on the screen. He's behind his newscaster desk, as
opposed to his editorial desk. Thus, the whining coming from him should be at
a minimum. "With Dr. Albert W. Wily having been ousted as leader of the Robot
Masters, Presidents, ambassadors, and other world leaders are calling on him
to stand trial for his vast number of crimes. Diplomacy Squirrel, Indonesian
Ambassador to the United Nations, has been particularly vocal."
We cut to a shot of a smallish, grim-faced Reploid. "I can't see why
Repliforce hasn't done their job and taken Wily. Their original mandate was to
defeat Dr. Wily, and as far as I know that goal hasn't changed. Just because
Wily is now in the hands of the Hunters doesn't mean he's off the hook for
the horrible things he's done to this planet."
Back to Chest. "President Howard Vaughn of Texas noted in a speech
earlier today that 'Repliforce needs to stand by their convictions'." Cut to
a shot of President Vaughn. "I understand how it is for Repliforce - they see
that their friends, the Maverick Hunters, have Wily, and that's good enough
for them. But it isn't good enough for the rest of the world. It's often been
said that Repliforce is just a weaker, yet bigger version of the Hunters.
That, when push comes to shove, General and the rest of Repliforce is willing
to bend backwards on behalf of their Hunter allies does not help their case."
Vaughn shakes his head. "I thought the idea was that Repliforce was the ones
looking out for international law and justice. Things like this is why Texas
has chosen not to sign the Repliforce contracts."

Back to Chest. "Dr. Light of the Hunters had no comment on the issue,
and we are looking forward to hear from the Repliforce about this issue.
Diplomacy Squirrel of Indonesia has said that he will continue to put pressure
on Repliforce to secure Dr. Wily."
Another shot of Diplomacy. He looks kind of sad. "I respect the Hunters
and all that they've done for the planet, but we need to remember that these
are vigilantes who ignore the law when it suits them. Repliforce is meant to
be the paragon of law and order... of respecting the rights of a just
governing body. But the way they seem to be rolling over for the Hunters is a
disgrace." Diplomacy smirks, and then says sarcastically, "If we wanted to
make a contract with a group that does what they want, we'd just work straight
with the Hunters and save a level of bureaucracy."
Chest once more. "GNN will follow this story as it develops."

Maverick attack! Fri May 27 Global News Network
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"...and that is what Chief R's parrot is really used for."
"And now to world news. Today it seems the Neo Tokyo harbor was attacked by a
Maverick assault. This latest assault was much more focused than the others.
The attacked was initiated by, <picture of Phantom Spectre>, who attacked a
ship, killed many civilians and police before anyone could respond. Another
Maverick was spotted <Picture of Blaze Fox> Who started to set things on fire,
including the water!
However, civilians responded. <A Picture of Feste, Joyeuse, and Dr. Takeshi
Shinchiro>. Not the Masters, not the Hunters, not the Repliforce. Regular
people. However, one of them was reported yelling the name 'Yakuza'. True or
not, these people should be commended for their actions. However, they were
still civilians, and quickly put down by the Maverick assault unit. However,
another Maverick was discovered." <Picture of Glaive impaling Feste> "However,
Hunters were quick to show up on scene to help the civilians."
<Picture of Zero and Alpha>
"This Hunter was reported carring a civilian away, and Zero soon came on scene
to support. However, they were too late, as charges set by the Mavericks
exploded, causing intense damage to the Harbor of Neo Tokyo." <Pictures of the
destroyed harbor, the water on fire, Ships capsized and sinking, and the Main
ports being sunk and on fire on top of this.>
"Damage is recorded at the millions of Zenny, if not billions as this will
effect the transportation and goods service of the Megacity."
"Next..."

There's a very short taped radio interview between Chest and General,
detailing Repliforce's reply to its critics. It's just a touch too long to
post on the boards, though. Sound byte: "If the Hunters don't want to be in an
alliance anymore, which would a shame, then Repliforce will probably have to
act upon the fact that they have a military base in the United States." The
taped response is also available on GNN's website.

"Mikage International has announced the summation of a project that's been in
the work for at least one year, and has promised a demonstration of the
'Ashigaru Warrior', an all-purpose fighting machine meant to supplement the
Japanese Defense Force, presently made up entirely of Robot Masters. The
Ministry of Defense has made no public response to the offer yet, although a
deal is reportedly in the works behind the scenes. A public unveiling of the
Ashigaru Warrior, named after a class of samurai in Japan elevated from the
rank of peasant soldier after showing great valor in battle, has been promised
by the Mega-Corporation. No comment has been made yet on what type of
mechanoid the Ashigaru will be, although Mikage International has promised
that it will be 'resistant to Maverick conversion', quelling many fears among
the Japanese people after recent Maverick attacks. Manufacturing plants are
already in place to begin building the Ashigaru, and once the Japanese
government decides to finalize the deal, Mikage International estimates that a
full fighting force capable of defending Japan will be arrayed in just over a
month's time. In other news..."

Murders in Neo-Tokyo! Sun May 29 Global News Network
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<This...Is GNN!>
"Gangland violence against struck Neo-Tokyo as a man known as Shinji Kawada,
reportedly affiliated with the Japanese crime organization known worldwide as
the Yakuza, killed another allegedly Yakuza ringleader only going by the name
of 'Amano', in broad daylight. He made claims about Mikage International CEO
Serwa Mwokozi's links to the Yakuza after killing the man, although Mikage
International has come out and publically denied any such claims. Still, after
the scandal involving former CFO Rajura Doji's complicity with the death of an
Interpol constable, the media has begun digging more and more to find links
between the nefarious Yakuza and the once highly respected Mikage
International. The Wilysaucer was seen at the scene of the crime afterwards,
as a shooting took place across the city in Tetsuo's Hibachi Bar and Grill -
the name of the victim has been told by witnesses as 'Arago', another alleged
Yakuza. The corpse was incinerated by a second man, and both fled the scene
before police could arrive. Investigations have already begun, with
notoriously lazy and corrupt Japanese police being urged forward by the
Japanese government to find the real story behind this series of bizarre,
gang-related crimes."

Neo-Arcadia Defeats Repliforce Mon May 30 Global News Network
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chest is at the news desk, looking very grim. Over his shoulder is a
small photo of the Fortress V. The battle platform has massive battle damage,
and holes have been ripped along its hull. Several of its cannons are missing,
and fires have broken out in several places. There are dots all around the
ship, which are most likely either attackers or defenders.
"Repliforce was dealt a crushing blow today by a Neo-Arcadian attack on
their headquarters, the Fortress V. Initial reports indicate that the
Neo-Arcadian army struck at 8:32pm Eastern Daylight Time both with an invasion
force and online in cyberspace. Be warned, these shots may offend sensitive
viewers." We see a series of videos with a shaky camera. It's a little tough
to tell what's going on aside from it being an aerial shot of the battle. But
the sounds, oh, the sounds are of metal tearing, explosions roaring, heavy
energy weapons firing, and both mechanical and organic cries.
"GNN has discovered that a full Repliforce retreat has been ordered
throughout their lines, with their forces being routed south towards the
Panama Canal." We see a map of Central America. A blue wavy line represents
the Repliforce front, and a red wavy line represents the Neo-Arcadian front.
"Our military analysts say it is too soon to tell for sure, but these appear
to be the new borders." Both red and blue lines suddenly shift /way/ down.
Repliforce is now just north of the Panama Canal.
Back to Chest. "Both Repliforce and the Neo-Arcadian government have
released statements." We now hear the voice of President Elpizo: "The
Repliforce should not have been so arrogant as to assume that the Aztlan
Nation would not take an opportunity such as this, to push them out of this
land." Then, speaking on Neo-Arcadia's goals, he adds, "To continue our
campaign to bring humans back to their proper position, and eliminate the
threat of Mavericks... Continue a strategic push to against the Repliforce
front lines, and to expand our infrastructire."
We now hear the voice of General of Repliforce: "It is nothing more
than further proof of the terrorist orientation of Neo Arcadia, and that they
don't mind assaulting medics and medical areas if it means they can gain a new
foothold. Repliforce can and will remain no matter how many times Neo Arcadia
kills off their own soldiers so Elpizo can rule more and more land."
Back to Chest. "General was referring to Repliforce claims that
Neo-Arcadia purposefully attacked the medical bay on board their Fortress V
war vessel. Either way, their ship clearly suffered massive damage in the
loss, although the full extent is not yet known. GNN will be covering this
story throughout the night."
The rest of the night, and even the next morning and midday, consists
of military analysts and other talking heads discussing this development.

affiliated with the Yakuza were arrested in the chaos, and are being charged
with armed robbery and accomplice to multiple homicides. Neither of the men

Exploision in Hong Kong Mon May 30 Global News Network
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(On your television screen a few times today may be variations of this report.
The announcer talks over a compilation of footage of a modern building with
thick smoke pouring out of the windows... a street crowded with ambulences...
Chinese firefighters pulling a few broken bodies out of rubble... and other
such images.)
"Rescue workers were on-scene in Hong Kong today when a large and
deliberate explosion struck one of the floors of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
You're viewing footage now from Building 65 of the Exchange, the epicenter of
the blast. Witnesses say that the bomb was somehow placed at a support pillar
on the large floor of the building, collapsing part of the floor above.
Investigators believe that the blast was deliberate, and may have been caused
by an unidentified suicide-bomber. The current estimated death count is around
forty human, fifteen reploid, though survivors are still being rescued."
"Building 65, built in 2204, was built to modern safety codes, and the
building itself, and those around it, still stands thanks to the relatively
small size of this explosion. What the Exchange was not prepared for however,
was the intense heat that followed after the blast, as well as the effects of
a biochemically-enhanced smoke that clouded the immediate area. Researchers
are still trying to determine if the spore-like biocontaminent, which seems to
grow quickly in warm conditions, will have lasting effects after human
exposure. As a precaution, the building and all adjacent are closed for
business at this time, leaving some businesses and brokers unable to work. The
Stock Exchange itself will resume business tomorrow, with the affected firms
relocating temporarily to safer buildings, though early price reports from the
exchange today have closed...less than favorably."
"Reports came not long after the explosion that reploids and electronic
near the blast's center were being infected with another type of
contaminent... the Sigma Virus, possibly, or a near-equivilent. Surviving
reploids are being treated and precautions are being taken... though this
evidence clearly points to Maverick involvement, there are still many
questions unanswered."

Mad Deer in Torrontreal! Tue May 31 Global News Network
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<This... is GNN>
"...the dog was quoted as saying 'I didn't know it wasn't bacon!' In a less
interesting story on loud drunks, we take you to Satsuma, in Torrontreal,
Canadia."
And sure enough, it's Satsuma! The currently brown-haired, hazel-eyed (it
looks hazel, anyway) reporter is in a blue blazer and skirt. "Thank you, Skip.
This evening, in a massive parking garage on the corner of Fifth and Elm
streets in Torrontreal, garage attendants reporter sightings of a 'mad deer'
on parking level two, carrying an immense scythe." Cut to footage of Javelin
Whitetail, in her Interpol uniform, and completely smashed, wandering around a
parking garage while dragging Skull Man's scythe behind her, then raising it
above her head and slamming it into one of those metal posts sticking out of
the ground that serves no other purpose than to annoy drivers, before
struggling to remove it.
"The mad deer appeared to be none other than Javelin Whitetail, former
musician-turned-Interpol agent. While she appeared to be mostly harmless,
aside from the wanton destruction of annoying metal columns, she was quite
clearly inebriated. Her actions managed to draw the attention of several
others, who appeared on the scene in short order." Insert footage of Flare
Phoenix bursting through a door dramatically, and Feste advancing on Jav from
behind the camera with his Hammer of Slightly Less Indiscriminate Justice, so
that his face is never seen. Feste slams the hammer into the handle of the
scythe, freeing it from the ground and sending it into a nearby SUV.
"GNN has managed to identify the other Reploid as Flare Phoenix of Interpol,
while the man with the hammer fled before he we could get a good shot of him."
Satsuma continues, "We do know, however, that he is known to associate with
ninjas. Ms. Phoenix carried Javelin away after the occurance, as well as the
scythe, without incident. Eye witnesses were interviewed, but none of them had
anything interesting to say. What may have sparked this bout of drunking
wandering, after Ms. Whitetail's public show of quitting her consumption of
alcohol about two months ago, is unknown. Back to you, Skip."
Skip appears to have a question of his own. "Satsuma, what are you doing
reporting on drunks in Torrontreal when you're supposed to be in Russia?"
The question catches Satsuma by surprise, and she blinks for a moment, before
saying, "Uh, well... oh, will you look at that, I'm late for an interview.
Seeya!" She zips off camera, and the focus goes back to the generic anchorman.
"Riiight... and now, a word from out sponsers."
