> ACROSS THE WORLD - In perhaps the most sweeping digital attack to have ever ripped through the internet to date, over four hundred servers were crashed, burned, or otherwise made inoperable in what officials are calling The Largest Denial of Service attack known to mankind. Over the course of fifteen minutes a massive series of viral uploads, bandwidth overfills, logic bombs, and remote accesses were recorded across a stunning number of servers across the world. Over 90 percent of these systems fell to the assault instantly, with government anti-hacking teams often responding too late in order to catch the culprits of this act. It will be many hours until these servers - mainly large online download sites - are able to come back online, but as a result net traffic has been slowed to a crawl. Citizens are asked to try and refrain from using their systems until the damage has been repaired, in order to ensure maximum efficiency of the net for official usage. While it will not take long for these servers to come back online, many of them have lost all of their data completely due to this attack. Officials believe that the hacker group was working for Doctor Albert Wily, due to the fact that many of the servers had all data on their hard drives replaced by a repeating file copy of the infamous Doctor performing a raspberry. << Picture of Wily with one eyelid pulled down, and his tongue sticking out. >> The hackers left a signature on every computer they crashed - apparently the roman numeral two with a musical note superimposed over it. Officials further speculate that this attack was caused in retaliation for the video file "Ain't Love Grand", featuring the Doctor and Sigma in a romantic interlude - every server that was attacked was a major host of the popular video file. However, there has been no official commentary on such a connection at this time.

"Alas, poor Yamato Man. I knew him, Hard man. He..." It is only now that he realizes that the camera is on. "*Cough* Yes. Things went well for once. Not for this guy, however." Woodsy hands the skull to an offscreen hardhat. "The Mavericks are offering a reward for 100 zenny per human skull. And while our allies were out harvesting for themselves, (Screenshots of Shield Draconian, Split Mushroom, and Gauss Coyote) Tengu and Freeze decided to collect what was already around while company (Chi, Barrage Raptor, Bolero, and some others) spent their time on the Mavericks. "So after I lost radio contact with Freeze (Connection timed out) I investigated, and am pleased to report a fully successful mission. Freeze had taken quite a haul of false skulls to sell, and my minions collected the authentic ones already littering the streets." High Oak must add in, for reasons unknown: "Also, they buried what leftovers they could find, to give them a proper death." A listing of the skulls and their location is onscreen. Log voiceovers, "Well, the haul is stored there for sale, and Enker shouldn't worry. Despite all this loot, neither Freeze or I received one scratch, as the Repliforce was focussing on the Mavericks. Our Ally will be a benefit to us yet. Wood Out." $$$$$$++++++++++++++++++++ $$$+++ Robot Master $$$+++ Message: 12/87 Posted Author Report - DOS Attack Wed May 01 Synth ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ << Synth appears on the screen, strapped into a massive computer terminal with both Gemini twins sitting near by >> <> As per the Doctors orders, I lead an effort to launch a massive Denial of Service attack on all of the web servers that are hosting that odious file of the Doctor and the Emperor. Id like to thank Gemini for his assistance in the matter... the extra four hands were useful when the government anti-hacker teams were trying to run us down. Id like to note that the goodies will probably try something similar against us - but most of our systems are behind large firewalls, and the majority of Africa is still not completely hooked into the Net at large. We might want to consider severing some of our ties from the main network - a wholly individual network for our empire would be useful for propaganda purposes, as well as for defense.
