London & Neo-Tokyo : Safe Sun Jan 01 Global News Network
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GNN sources have indicated that London and Neo-Tokyo are most likely
safe from being attacked with the Force Metal weapon. The source is from the
GNN/Robot Master Don't-Kill-Me-Please agreement that they have. There's a note
that GNN has no way to verify the Robot Masters' claim of these two cities
being safe. The report also heavily refers to Gemini Man as the bringer of
this news, as he is "one of the chief Robot Masters in charge of this
operation, including planning and implementation". GNN hopes to be able to
provide you, the viewing public, with additional information, before the
weapon, if it exists, is detonated.

New Year Chaos Sun Jan 01 Global News Network
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"New Years celebrations at Times Square were interrupted last night by a
malfunction that caused the famous 'ball' to freeze at the number 'two.' This
stunt was a precursor to a Robot Master threat that the well-publicized 'Force
Metal Bomb' was going to go off at the stroke of midnight in the crowd in the
Square. Robot Master Dust Man claimed to be holding the bomb, but this was, in
fact, found later to be a hoax, after local police and other authorities
rushed to meet his milk-shake-demanding claims."
"The scene was one of panic, as partygoers who took the threat seriously
stampeded one another in attempt to escape not only the bomb, but Maverick
forces as well: both Vile, and Sigma were captured on film as present in the
riot and using the thick packed-humanity to potentially make statements of
their own. There were several critical injuries due to the stampeding, though
Repliforce's General was part of crowd control. The exact total of damage has
not yet been tallied."
"This hoax has lead some pundits to believe that perhaps there never was a
Force Metal explosive in the first place, though that has NOT stopped the
authorities and bomb squads of most major Western cities from trying to seek
out this potential threat. This has also not stopped people from clogging
teleporters in the largest cities in an attempt to make emergency evacuations
to England or Japan, two areas with major cities that are believed NOT to be
targets. The teleportation grids in London and Neo-Tokyo in particular are
reported as heavily congested today."
"From all of us in GNN London, a happy new year."

GNN: IO and Bonne Relief Mon Jan 02 Global News Network
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-GNN-
It seems several citizens of San Angeles are putting in a helping hand
in the relief effort.
Native Citizens of San Angeles, The Bonne Family, are known the world
over as infamous super criminals, yet the late Mayor Friendly accepted their
presence in the city. The Bonne Family, having recently taken up with the
force known as the Irregular Overlords, have offered their helping hand to San
Angeles' victims and the struggling law and governmental agencies of San
Angeless.
The Gesellschaft, the massive ship originally a luxury air yacht owned
by the still known Lord Bonne of the now defunct Bonne Enterprizes, is now
hovering over the ruined areas of San Angeles. Servbots, and other Drones are
at work beside the Bonnes, including a large number of men and women wearing
cloth facemasks and wearing the Bonne Insignia.
With them have come a surprising number of Irregular Overlord
Volunteers; Android, Reploid, and Bioroid all. Every last one of them is under
the direction of the wrongly presumed-dead Tron Bonne as they struggle to save
lives tonight.
Reports from the Governmental front continue to be sketchy, but those
Law Enforcement Agencies on duty have been reported to accept the Bonnes
wholeheartedly. The Bonnes are known to have donated large sums of money and
equipment to the San Angeles Police Force in the past.
Tron Bonne is reported to be trying to help the situation, trying to
help encourage some order in the city. Many in the government section question
her right to be here, but she gave us a quote.
'"As a native of San Angeles, it is my right just as it was the right
of Edgar Friendly to take charge during the first Robot Master attack nearly
nineteen years ago. They destroyed my school and killed many of my friends and
teachers. They attacked San Angeles even more brutally then they did all those
years ago. I'm not going to stand for it, and no one under my command is
either. If you don't like it, you can go to hell."

The Bonnes foiled an attempt by rioters to loot the Mega Museum of San
Angeles today. Using concussion bombs, the Gesellschaft dispersed the rioting
crowds, rendering a majority of them unconscious and causing others to flee.
Drache patrols are doing their best to do the same with other rioting groups

this disaster.
The San Angeles police have taken some of the unconscious rioters into

deporting outside looters to the best of their ability with the Teleportation

San Angeles Developments Mon Jan 02 Global News Network
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
More information becomes available about the state of San Angeles:
Millions are dead or dying. The body count for human beings is expected to be
somewhere in the 10-15 million range, with most estimates believing it will
top out somewhere around 10 million. Anywhere between 30,000 and 50,000
Reploids have been killed or rendered inoperative. An exact total is difficult
to acquire because looters have been dragging away Reploid corpses to sell for
parts.
The good news is that there appears to be no radiation hazard. Background
radiation levels have returned to normal, and there appears to be no risk of
fallout for the Western Seaboard or the Pacific. Force Metal appears to be
among the cleanest nuclear bomb types.
Edgar Friendly is dead. He was trampled to death by a crowd which overpowered
his bodyguards. The military reign of Friendly is at an end, and there is no
clear line of succession. The SAPD has, in his absence, decided to assume
control of San Angeles, though their communications are scattered. The threat
of SAPD military juntas being established around precincts is a serious
problem.
The SAPD has assisted in the humanitarian aid efforts. For the moment, they
appear to be accommodating all the outside help. When the city starts to get
back onto its feet, though, it may be a different story.

Alia Tortured Tue Jan 03 Global News Network
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<GNN>
In the early evening hours last night, GNN received word from verified CRF
sources that the Coalition was preparing to make their first public statement
since the tragedy in San Angeles. As per typical Coalition announcements, the
location was undisclosed and delivered only to our Reploid reporting team in
the field. As GNN went live to the announcement, something quite less ordinary
was witnessed. We apologize to our viewers who had to witness the horrible
actions of the Maverick, Vile.
<A quick video clip of Vile in some sort of abandoned factory is shown. He
looms over the Hunter, Alia, who is strapped to some sort of angled operating
table. There is a magnificently glowing shard of Force Metal in Vile's hand.>
GNN believes that Vile's objective was to punish Alia and the Maverick Hunter's
for their failure to apprehend Doctor Albert Wily shortly after the Force
Metal bomb exploded, when the Doctor surfaced in the Siberian tundra with his
WilyDrome. Further, the Maverick appeared aggitated at the continued
escalation of the Robot Wars, ranting about the spiraling increase in conflict
around the world, and claimed that Force Metal was the final catalyst. GNN
reminds reviewers that the humanitarian efforts of the Maverick Hunter's and
other groups across the globe in San Angeles have been responsible for saving
an untold number of lives, but the Maverick blamed Alia -- and through her all
those who rushed to San Angeles to help moments after the bomb exploded rather
than try and kill Doctor Wily in Siberia -- for being misguided. In a
figurative effort, Vile then utilized the very element that has caused so much
distress, Force Metal, to try and poison Alia so that she could not make a
similar, misguided, mistake as 'helping others rather than killing the cause
of the anguish'.
<Quick clip of Vile ramming his hand into Alia's chest and ripping out the
jewel in her center. The Force Metal was then rammed into the wound.>
GNN, operating under the guidance of Doctor Thomas Light, believes the
electromagnetic properties of Force Metal radiation, as witnessed in the
catastrophic Force Metal Bomb 48 hours ago, were responsible for disrupting
the feed. What we /have/ been able to confirm about the events that followed
is that, somehow reacting to the radiation within her body, Alia was able to
tear herself free from her restraints and escape from her confiner. Vile is
still at large and extremely dangerous, and GNN has been unable to receive
word on the location of status of Alia Cain or what effect the Force Metal may
have had on her body. Scientists eagerly anticipate news from this front, as a
sustained exposure to Force Metal within a Reploid Neural Net has long been
hypothesized to cause extreme insanity...
International hero, Suploid, was able to track the location Vile's feed was
originating from, and his quick actions saved the entirity of the GNN
reporting team who had been wounded during the broadcast by the Maverick. We
thank him and both parties, Camera Tortoise and Chatterbox Flamingo, are in
critical condition at Red Cross facilities on the city outskirts.

aggressive in his stance and obviously enraged by what has become known. The
following is a video of Dan Richards as he gave a speech(OOC: Long and

The image flickers on, and it shows Dan Richards, in a most business
style outfit unlike what he normally prefers, hands in his pockets and a

I do not make a million dollars an hour like some of the economical
powerhouses do. However, I am an Australian, and I can say that when I speak I
feel I speak for all Australians out there."
"This recent...information. This knowledge we have acquired which
relates to our potential fate as a country is maddening! We have on our side
one of the greatest defensive forces possible, the Australian Defense Forces.
We have a government which we thought cared about the people and wished to
protect us, as their actions to stem the Maverick plague has demonstrated."
"Yet it is not the place of a government to further it's own goals, a
government is there to guard and protect the /people/, those who are needed in
order to even allow a society to exist. We all know we are important, we all
pay taxes which in turn support every single action our representatives take.
Yet look at what our government has done to stem this obvious Yakuza threat,
this threat which has been about for /months/. They have said nothing. They
have deployed as little of the ADF as they can."
"I have supported the ADF, I have sent them and other police
organizations of Australia donation money. I feel that without them we'd be
lost much like San Angeles has become, something which appearantly our
government is going to let us live out. This potential social upheavel is not
a good thing, this is a bad thing since the Yakuza themselves are trying to
empower their own organization. They want to warp us into their little
plaything and use us to support their criminal activities! Society can not
survive on crime alone, for crime itself is /against/ society by it's very
nature!"
"We must, all Australians, stand up and speak now. I plan to run for
any government position that I can get my hands on, something hopefully high
enough and powerful enough to /save the people/ from the Yakuza, since our
current leaders are so steadfast against it. I also plan to ban Androids from
entering Australia, because as you all know Australia has suffered minimal
Reploid attacks due to the ADF and the recent laws, the Mavericks have lost
their capability to generate mass terror. So why Androids, you say? Are they
bad? Perhaps, but I am not here to say anyone is bad, I am here to say the
Robot Masters, /Gemini Man/ is an Android, and we all know the horrors that
Gemini Man has wrought! We all know that Mavericks can be Androids, and they
actually do have Androids! We all know even the Irregular Overlords contain
Androids, dangerous and powerful ones that attack places at random for mere
glee and self-interest! And most importantly...the Yakuza are known to use
Androids as weapons."

The Umbrella Corporation completely rejects the accusations made by
humanitarian groups that its search-and-rescue efforts have intentionally left
Reploids behind. CFO William Wiggin, who has been personally overseeing the
Umbrella operations in San Angeles, has been ensuring that any Reploids the
Umbrella volunteers encounter are flagged for pickup by groups capable of
assisting them.
"Our resources are focused on human beings and cyborgs," Mr. Wiggin said. "We
do not have the facilities to do repairs on Reploids. However, many other aid
groups do, and we have been informing them of any Reploids we encounter who
need help."
The Umbrella Corporation has made its communications traffic in the San Angeles
area publically available, as well as traffic logs indicating where Reploids
have been flagged for pickup. Other aid groups in the area have corroborated
Mr. Wiggin's accounts.
The Umbrella Corporation has been offering its satellite imaging technology
freely to all aid groups in the area to assist in coordination of relief
efforts. The Umbrella Corporation has presently contributed over 5 million
zenny to the San Angeles humanitarian effort, and has donated medical
supplies, rations and fresh water to the Red Cross and Red Crescent to assist
them in assisting the wounded.
At the beginning of the 23rd century, the Umbrella Corporation has regained its

robot masters. Hans Shutlz and Kilalu seem to be their identity's. In the end,
both sides fought and collided in battle, only leaving Bon Bonne to push away
Shadow Man and Laser Man with little help, as well as Alia fighting valiantly
before Enker. In the end the Robot Master forces were pushed away, as one of
the victims overheard the masters speaking about the 'procurement of gold' and
to 'see what destruction they had caused'. Other kept saying they had come to
finish what they had started.
Once again, join us later for more important happening of the world...."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shortly after the incidents on Eurasia an official press release was put out by
Captain Nova. For once it isn't video but rather a written statement that has
been offered up to various news networks.
Eurasia's security has been breached. A serious crime has been commited in our
domain. In light of the fact that these acts were perpetuated by a high
ranking Coalition officer, we have no choice but to take it as an act of war.
Effective immediately, all Coalition members or those who register positive for
the Virus are banned from Eurasia. Any who attempt to board the station will
be considered hostile and dealt with. Any currently on the station have two
hours to remove themselves willingly, or be escorted out. This ban will remain
in effect until further notice.

HeraCorp In Deep Space Sun Jan 08 Global News Network

<GNN>
"HeraCorp has released news of a successful deep space mining operation with
absolutely no hitches. This would make HeraCorp the first company to make
commercial use of Deep Space in such a manner, and it is suspected that
HeraCorp's recent large expenses are a result of this."
"When asked about how many ships were built or if there was just one, CEO Sewa
wouldn't give a comment, but she did respond to ship purchasing requests that
the US Government would get first dibs because they allowed her to perform the
research, and that she would not sell the ships privately without their OK due
to issues regarding national security."

*GNN World News*
" Today, an announcement was made of the creation of the fReconstruction,
Engineering, Building and Industry Resource TecHnology Incorporated, or
'REBIRTH Inc.' company in San Angeles. A group of private investors merging
their individual resources, REBIRTH has announced that it seeks to rebuild the
crater and surrounding areas through public and private donations, as well as
work towards converting a majority of the actual crater area into a memorial
to the fallen. While no particular 'head' was named, we recieved this
commentary from Relations Rabbit, REBIRTH's Spokesman...."
*Picture of said Reploid behind a podium, with the REBIRTH insignia, a dawning
sun with the capital name REBIRTH before it behind him*
" An excellent question, sir. REBIRTH's founders wish to remain
anonymous-partly for their own safety against Dr. Wily's forces, and to make
clear that this is not about credit or prestige. San Angeles is one of, if not
the greatest city in Earth's history. This tragic blow to it cannot go
unhealed, or unforgotten. These fine ladies and gentlement wish to see to it
that it is restored, and that the event recieves the reverence it deserves.
They do, however, operate as a council, by which decisions are carried by
majority vote, to insure fairness. Our contact information will be available
at www.rebirth.org, as well as information for those wishing to make a
donation to our cause, or read our mission statement in detail. We hope to
begin talks with San Angeles City Government and those to whom the property
currently belongs to soon, in order to begin purchasing the rights to these
properties. While we hope many will agree to sell, we are more than willing to
offer our services as charity-simple generosity to insure that reconstruction
is begun as soon as possible, so the city may heal."
*Cut back to news desk*
"And there you have it. In other news, pictures of Colonel in women's clothes
have been circulating the internet..."

<This...Is GNN.>
"Earlier this week, a large Master strike force attacked the Hagar Power Plant
in Norway, which supplies much of the surrounding country with vital power.
The Masters Freeze Man, Heat Man and King, along with a large Devil, attacked,
and were responded to by Guardian Mobius, Mega Man, Max Armour, and an unknown
civilian. The Masters managed to cripple Hagar power plant, leaving much of
Norway without electricity, before they were driven off - however, the
defenders managed to avert a meltdown. Power is expected to be off all week,
until repairs can be made. In other news..."

A buxom reporter appears on the screen and says,
"Good evening and this is GNN. I am Natalie Jenson and the top story of
tonights news takes us to the underground Neo-Goth club, "The Catacombs" in
London."
A picture of the club appears in the upper right corner of the screen as
Natalie continues, "Last night, a squad of S.T.A.R.S. agents entered the club
with a warrant and uncovered a back room where dealing of the new illicit drug
AMP was taking place. Nine dealers were arrested and 50 kilos of the substance
was confiscated. Among the dealers arrested was Howler Wolf, a reploid that
played a role in the dealing of the drug and organizing gambling on fights
that took place behind the club.
"The owners of the club admitted to being aware of what was going on
but claimed it was good for business. They have also been arrested under the
charges of facilitating illegal operations, but it is yet unclear whether they
will be prosecuted or not.
"A S.T.A.R.S. official that was at the scene stated that they had
received a tip from a very reliable source that would not be name for security
reasons. The official then went on to say that while this is a good step in
the right direction in the war against AMP, they still have a long way to go
since the mastermind behind it is still out there. And that concludes
tonight's top story and thank you for joining us. Until next time, keep
watching GNN."
