Sat May 04 News Report ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Hello this is Bubbly Bumblebee reporting from the deep jungles of Central America where a gruesome discovery has been made. A group of archeologists were mounting an expedition of uncharted caves looking for possible ancient settlements and artifacts a month ago when inside one of the many numerous caves they found remains of what was assumed to be various animals. "Upon further lab testing some of the bones were in fact proven to be human bones, carbon testing dated these bones as only being of a few months old. A second team was sent to collect more evidence but said team never came back. Upon sending a third team to search for the second one, only one survivor made it back to safety claiming their team had encountered a Chupacabra that slaughtered them all. With so many casualties in such a short period of time, a large section of caves have been shut off to the public as investigators are now combing these caves for the possible beast behind this terrible act.

Sun May 05 News Report ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This time it starts with a setting from Shakespear's classic, Romeo and Juliet. Only with a twist. As clearly seen when the Love theme from Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet Overture starts to play as Vile in the Goliath walks out onto the balcony, "Magna Bass, oh Magna Bass. Where art though Magna Bass?" Magna Bass then steps out from the shadows and plays out the rest of the scene with Vile. The video fades to black when the scene ends and bold letting shows up: Hacker Cat's Magna Bass-o and Vile-iet.

How nice of you to poke your head out of the sands once more, if only to provide a somewhat less interesting sequel along with the circular logic of your rebuttal. As to your suggestion that the video file(s) you so lovingly produced may have struck us a little too close to home: we say, ha. The Wily/Maverick alliance, is, after all, a cause for fear among the populace, and it is only natural for a fearing populace to respond with irrelevant humor. We hear, for example, that 'Sigma Stress-dolls' are all the rage in European office spaces. In regard to your newest masterpiece, allow us to enlighten you on some of the finer points of Shakespeare's classic dialogue. You obviously were not consulting an original text when you created the file, else you would have realized that the line 'where art though,' is to be spoken: 'wherefore art thou,' using the word 'wherefore,' which is actually an archaic term for 'why.' In this case, presumedly, he is Magna Bass because he chose to assume that form at the time. A nitpick on our part, yes, (perhaps, oh, even the desperate cry for respect the United Nations accuses us of making with our previous actions) but provided here: to he who went so far as to accuse US of being unintelligent. The fact that you're capable of laughing it up about our organizations only proves how afraid you actually are. We lashed out against your attempt at humor the first time. Now we merely find you sad and amusing. And, at the very least, a good deal more unwilling than we to sign a real name to your little pieces of art. But, since you continue to amuse us so... you will be discovered. --------- II --------- $$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ IC News $$$$$$$$$$$$ Message: 9/27 Posted Author Demonstrations in Ireland Sun May 05 News Report ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Earlier today, peaceful demonstrations were held in Ireland, at the site of a demolished building and sorrounding area, which came under combined Maverick and Robot Master attack, when a pirate broadcast showed a clip that appeared to be a direct slur against the two factions." A clip is played from long ago, and then the camera is of a reporter interviewing a bystander. In the back people are parading signs like, "Keep us safe from them, not anger them!" and "Stop this from happening again." Nevertheless, the interview presses on. "Ye canna just show stuff like that and not expect crazies like them to attack. It's pure foolishness! Me wife worked in that building." The man starts crying. "Me wife. She's DEAD NOW! YOU HEAR ME! She was killed by some foolish hotshot thinking he could stir up a hornet's nest! If you wanna be a blasted fool, don't do it in my back yard!"

Secondly, if it is that my actions are so sad and amusing to you, why did you see it fit to first lash out and then respond on this board? Or even make an attempt to hunt me down as it were? You know what I think? I think that you are merely threatened by my presence and actions. Why else would you want to get rid of me? Thirdly, afraid of you? Hardly. If I were so afraid I wouldn't have done what I've done so far and will continue to do as long as I function and even thereafter. Finally, how sure are you that this isn't my real name? After all, we do live in an age of reploids now where the name Hacker Cat is perfectly plausible. Ah well.

"Hello! Nice to meet you Hacker Cat. I just don't think there really should be much of this arguing, you know? There really isn't a point to it. What will be, will be, and we don't really have to worry about it. Though..um...Those videos are kinda creepy, can you please stop producing them? Well, I can't stop free speech so I guess I won't complain too much. Then again, a loooong time ago, Juliet was played by a boy just like Romeo! But I really don't see..um...them in such positions. " "Anyway, we really don't have to get so testy over this. It really doesn't matter. I mean it's something easily fixed and dealt with on both sides and I think we'll all cope better if we just, um, get along and just treat business as business and, um, life as life.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Recent events have come to our attention, and it is felt that an official response from Repliforce is warranted. First, let us all remember that the freedom of speech is a fundamental right. Vile's threats and actions, as well as the current network activity of the Robot Masters, show just how much they value the people's right to express themselves. For those in the UN who would rather shut down the workings of Mr. Reinfield and Hacker Cat, I would like to quote a man wiser than I. "He who would sacrifice some freedoms for security deserves neither." If you were to give in to Vile and Wily's demands, then what of their next demands? And the next? How soon until -your- nation is under their heel? Also, remember that Repliforce's job is not only to protect your life and property, but your rights and freedoms as well. We will not let those who would curtail those rights do so without a fight." The pegasus pauses to let that sink for a moment, then continues in a more serious tone. "That being said, let me also remind certain parties the wisdom of "poking fun" at those far more powerful than you. The Mavericks and Robot Masters control most of two continents, their power is one to be reckoned with. To use what could loosely be termed as humor serves no useful purpose other than mayhaps a perverse sense of self-satisfaction. As I have reaffirmed, it is our job in Repliforce to protect the rights and freedoms of the citizens of the UN. However, if said citizens would like to aid our war effort, we would appreciate it more if your work went towards helping us win the war rather than prodding our enemies into violent responses. Thank you." $$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ IC News $$$$$$$$$$$$ Message: 9/31 Posted Author Tragedy at sea Sun May 05 News Report ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ In other stories, the Coalition for Reploid Freedom outpost in Portugal reported a strange casualty today. Fusion Ichthyosaurus, reported missing during a routine patrol last week, was found washed ashore and suffering from extreme fuel deprivation. The coastal guard, who uses a unique and experimental fusion reactor with coffee as a catalyst, was discovered with a fist-sized hole in his chassis and all of the important fuel drained out. There is some other small damage reported, but officals have stated the Maverick was most likely injured by debris of some sort.

We're live from the GNN studios in San Angeles, broadcasting free, clear, and neutral since 2201. Let's get straight to the news tonight, with a breaking report from the American heartland. BENELUX, KENTUCKY Violence was the tone of the night in the small town of Benelux, Kentucky, as members of an organization calling themselves the Human Liberation Front stormed a bank tonight, robbing it and taking hostages. Response from Repliforce was swift, and the hostages were rescued safely, however, 500,000 zenny-worth of money and valuables were taken by the attackers. Repliforce and Kentucky State Police took three of the HLF members into custody, the suspects identified as reported runaways from Reagan, Missouri. The Benelux city bank is undergoing massive reconstruction because of the battle, damage being inflicted by a exploding drone tentatively identified with the serial killer who goes by the name of supposedly deceased mass-murderer Dr. Landon DeVry. The HLF members were reportedly interested in the downfall of the UN, whom they cited as being responsible for the decay of human culture, and the incompetance that led to the creation of the Reploid Coalition for Freedom. After cursory interrogation, the captured members indicated that they were offered cybernetic enhancements by their boss, they also universally all want to just go back home, according to Kentucky State Police. The three suspects are being held in Ashland, Kentucky, pending arraignment and trial. $$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ IC News $$$$$$$$$$$$ Message: 9/33 Posted Author GNN Weekly Update 2 of 4 Mon May 06 News Report ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WORLD NEWS MEXICO CITY, MEXICO Violence in the city of Mexico has begun to abate, sources inside the besieged megalopolis state.

In the background is a blue curtain that helps bring out the accents of his armor. He has his usual unflappable, neutral expression on his face; his tone is equally flat and emotionless. "Dr. Albert Wily bids his greetings to the citizens of the world who still struggle under the yoke of United Nations oppression, as well as to the free citizens of Europe and Africa. I am the Elite Master Ballade, and I have been charged with the cause of clarifying recent events. We hope that in the interest of free dialogue, the United Nations chooses to allow the Global News Network to air this transmission unaltered." "The United Nations does not respect the inalienable right of Africa to exist under a regime that will not oppress it, nor keep it mired in poverty. The rule of Dr. Albert Wily has been benevolent and fair to all sentient life, but yet we have found the United Nations laying siege to us at every turn. They have tried to pollute our lakes, kill our livestock, lay waste to our warehouses and harm the innocent people of Africa. The only possible reason for these actions is so the United Nations can return the continent to the subserviant position it has occupied for most of modern history." "They do not recognize the regime of Dr. Albert Wily as legitimate, though it is clear that the majority of African citizens support it. Who would not support a regime that has brought its people out of poverty, given them good jobs, allowed them the same opportunities the First World has enjoyed for centuries? And yet their aggression continues against us, claiming Dr. Albert Wily does them harm. Clearly, this is not the case." $$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ IC News $$$$$$$$$$$$ Message: 9/37 Posted Author Official Master Response (2/3) Mon May 06 News Report ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "As we can find no redress from the United Nations, we are forced to defend ourselves with the strength of our arms and the power of our greatest minds. Their laws do not protect the rights of the Robot Masters, and the Global News Network has been used as a tool by the United Nations to continue to depict our rule as cruel and unjust. This is the reason the Global News Network will not be allowed into Africa -- we value the freedom of our news agencies so highly that allowing anything less than a /free/ and /unfettered/ press into our borders would offend our moral dignity." "The transmissions made by Mr. Alex Reinfield of the Maverick Hunters and the unknown "Hacker Cat" are clearly slanderous. They offend the dignity of the leaders of the Maverick and Robot Master regimes, as their images were used without their consent. This violates a series of stipulations under the Intellectual Property Act of 2195, and the individuals and media outlets that transmitted the broadcasts should be liable for civil suits under the law of the United Nations. Yet we can find no redress, because the Robot Master and Maverick regimes are seemingly exempt from protection under these laws. Our basic dignity can be smeared at will solely because we are in opposition to the rule of the United Nations." "Then again, history has shown that the United Nations chooses to ignore its own laws whenever it wishes to. The critical Reploid research produced by Dr. Sigmund Doppler was unjustly seized by a desperate United Nations who lacked the moral uprightness to surrender to a superior military force. In doing so, they created a slave race to fight their fruitless war against Dr. Albert Wily, which has begun to turn against them in the form of the Maverick Empire. This same United Nations would have denied their slave race, Reploids, even the basic right to practice what religion they wished in order to allow themselves to continue thinking them lesser to themselves. It took the threat of Emperor Sigma himself to coerce the United Nations to allow the Reploids in their bondage that basic right." $$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ IC News $$$$$$$$$$$$ Message: 9/38 Posted Author Official Master Response (3/3) Mon May 06 News Report ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "We stood up for our right to be treated in a civilized fashion when we struck out at the information hubs that were relaying the illegal and hurtful broadcasts. Since we have no redress under the laws of the United Nations, the law of Wily and the law of Sigma was enforced. We would expect similar measures from the United Nations were we to misbehave in such a way, as we are struck at when we commit the terrible crimes of growing food or building roads." "Mr. Alex Reinfield is a criminal. "Hacker Cat" is a criminal. Those who would shelter them or give them any support are criminals, and any government that allows these actions to occur without punishment is an accessory to their crimes against sentient dignity. We fully expect the United Nations to continue to do nothing about this situation, as they have no respect for their laws or the laws of those who do not bend knee to their iron-fisted republic. Thus, we are forced to act to defend ourselves against an injustice, and we will do so by any means necessary." "The media can call their blatantly illegal and hurtful actions against the free nations of the world `freedom of speech'. Those who see their United Nations puppetmasters should call it what it is: offensive."

(The screen changes to the UN Press Room, showing four intelligence officers sitting behind a table with the UN emblem and talking) "Seriously, we're tired of debating political and sentimental talk. Mr. Ballade's speech insists on talking about us as criminals, opressors and censors. He's talked about the benevolence of the Wily and Maverick Empires, and called Mr. Alex Reinfield and "Hacker Cat" criminals. I'd be lying if I said it hasn't been a great and impressive speech, and if I were a politician I'd give my congratulations to the one who wrote it, but us, the ones here today, are just intelligence officers, and we're going to debate Mr. Ballade's speech by analyzing it." "First of all, we've been accused of... polluting their lakes... killing their livestock and hurting their citizens. Well, to accuse someone of such things, you need evidences that show that. The UN politics are totally against using the "poison the river to conquer the castle" tactics, and we don't let our corporals to use civilians as target practice. But now that we're talking about attacks, should we remember who were the ones who robbed, kidnapped, slaughtered and destroyed before, during, and after the conquest of Africa?

Did they ask us before launching their heavy weapondry into the News Station. Maybe it was that the postman lost the message somewhere, but we didn't recieve it." "Next point, Dr. Sigmund Doppler's case was fully explained in its moment, and I consider absurd calling a race like Reploids slaves. Reploids were given the freedom to feel, think, and deciede. We didn't expect them to be brainless minions. Not at all. The Coalition for Reploid Freedom started, as we know, thanks to the Maverick virus, and all of us know about the effect the virus causes.

It is as follows: I can't speak for the Hunter, but I for one made no transmissions. Merely files that I uploaded to the information super-highway. And to call it slanderous is all a matter of opinion. Contrary to what you think, I am not a criminal. No. My files are just humorous social commentary, plain and simple. And speaking of humor, I find it hilarious how you seem to respect and use laws when they benefit you. For last time I checked, actions carried out by the Robot Masters and Mavericks ever since the Robot Wars have started were and are considered illegal in a greater part of the free world. As so eloquently pointed out by the UN representitives. But back to what I do. Social commentary. It is not my fault that the current topic of interest has been the unholy alliance Wily has formed with Sigma. Which is probably going to last as long as all your previous alliances. It is also not my fault that /you/ find it offensive and slanderous. It is still free speech. Crashing the networks to 'remove this offensive content' is just a nice way of saying Censorship. Which, correct me if I'm wrong, is the same thing you accuse the United Nations of doing. Talk about pot calling the kettle black. *pans back to the anchor-individuals* Thank you Jenny.

This message does not concern the majority of you, who are well-behaved citizens following your respective leaders to a brighter future. However, the future is not made by the actions of the few, but the will of the many; so we ask you to help us help you. An individual named "Hacker Cat" has begun a campaign of disinformation and personal attacks against the moral integrity of your leaders. You no doubt find this terribly offensive, and we apologize that you must endure it; and we praise your patience during the external network outages that were necessary to remove the offending content. We are pleased to say, however, that our current internal network environment will not be discomfited, as they are impregnable to assault. "Hacker Cat" is highly skilled in deception and misinformation. This person (or persons) may be operating among you, or may be an external United Nations operative sent to disrupt the morale of our people. Regardless, any information that leads to the identification or capture of "Hacker Cat" will be generously rewarded, with capture being the more lucrative of the two objectives due to its exponentially higher difficulty. Individuals interested in researching the identity of "Hacker Cat" should register with either Maverick Command or a representative of the Robot Masters.

[Radio: (C) Global] Ether Skunk transmits, "... oh, come on. It can't be that bad. You guys didn't do a very good job of it in Australia." [Radio: (C) Global] Gemini Man transmits, "Oo, good call, Maverick! How 'bout you put a target on him?" [Radio: (C) Global] Metal Man transmits, "Landon your a idiot! Just SHUT UP AND DIE YOU FREAK!" [Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "Such unnessessary hostility, Metal Man." [Radio: (C) Global] Agile transmits, "Colonel's a chump. The UN's weak. Ain't nuthin' like havin' us hunt you, fleshbag." [Radio: (C) Global] Sewa transmits, "Metal Man! Behave! You shouldn't be rude, even if he is." [Radio: (C) Global] Fire Man transmits, "You can't even kill Mega Man." [Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "I am somewhat honored that you fear me with such vehemence that you feel the urge to dedicate yourself to finding me, Defect." [Radio: (C) Global] Gravity Man transmits, "Don't be. Just because you're annoying doesn't mean you're important." [Radio: (C) Global] Agile transmits, "We can take X. And I don't fear nuthin', Landon. Except maybe certain people's cookin'. But you? Give me a break, fleshbag. You ain't even machine enough to be half a man." [Radio: (C) Global] Ether Skunk transmits, "Quit sayin' Fleshbag." [Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "You have to forgive him his limited vocabulary. He is defective after all." [Radio: (C) Global] Ether Skunk transmits, "Oh. Well, when you put it like that..." [Radio: (C) Global] Gravity Man transmits, "Defective. This from a guy with no body." [Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "I have a body presently. The Odin Frame." [Radio: (C) Global] Sewa transmits, "And Agile's not -Defective-. Why're you being so mean anyway?" [Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "And of course he is defective, he is a reploid who has turned from his true purpose, the service of humanity." [Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "Our dear friend the skunk is foolish for supporting the wrong humans, but she is not defective for example." [Radio: (C) Global] Fire Man transmits, "That /is/ why they were built." [Radio: (C) Global] Agile transmits, "Ain't like he matters, Sewa. He's gonna die soon enough." [Radio: (C) Global] Ice Man transmits, "So I guess you're defective, DeVry. You're a human that's turned away from humanity." [Radio: (C) Global] Fire Man transmits, "You're thinking Doppler." [Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "I am still a servant of humanity. I will make humankind into a race of gods, even if myself and Wily are the only humans left." [Radio: (C) Global] Agile transmits, "Humanity turned on me, fleshbag. And Skunk, I'll keep sayin' fleshbag until someone worth a slag convinces me to stop. And I'll go on killin' 'em till I'm convinced they don't need it anymore." [Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "You are a servant, Defect, whether we turned on you is immaterial." [Radio: (C) Global] Metal Man transmits, "Landon with out fathers protection your a dead man. Some day one of us will kill you." [Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "To the Robot Masters has been granted the right of ruling over humanity, because they have placed their faith into him." [Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "I fail to see the source of your hostility, Metal Man." [Radio: (C) Global] Fire Man transmits, "Don't waste your time trying, Metal." [Radio: (C) Global] Agile transmits, "I ain't no stinkin' servant, fleshbag! I'm a soldier, and soldiers don't get stabbed in the back without doin' something about it!" [Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "You are a machine, defect. You are no more a soldier then a plastic vibrating love-aid is a woman's lover." [Radio: (C) Global] Fire Man transmits, "Oh. My. GOD." [Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "Although you do share a surprising level of design similarity with the aforementioned item." [Radio: (C) Global] Fire Man transmits, "Now I have to kill you, Landon." [Radio: (C) Global] Gemini Man transmits, "There are underaged reploids listening to this, DeVry." [Radio: (C) Global] Ice Man transmits, "This is a public channel DeVry, there could be children listening!" [Radio: (C) Global] Sewa transmits, "G...Guys, calm down...'kay?" [Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "Please, as if the various ego-driven death threats was somehow worse then my veiled innuendo." [Radio: (C) Global] Fire Man transmits, "There was no veiled about it, Landon." [Radio: (C) Global] Agile transmits, "I'm going to kill you, Fleshbag. A lot." [Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "Its a binary equation, Defect. Has your logic processor shut down...oh wait you're a maverick, of course it has." [Radio: (C) Global] Ether Skunk transmits, "Fleshbag, defect. Fleshbag, defect. GaAAAAAaaaAAAhhhh!! I'm gonna beat you all with thesauruses next time I see you!!!" [Radio: (C) Global] Fire Man transmits, "Hey, I didn't do anything." [Radio: (C) Global] Agile transmits, "Shaddap, you stinking human-loving Replidoof." [Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "We should leave him alone, Hunter, he may start crying and that would be most troublesome." [Radio: (C) Global] Ether Skunk transmits, "Replidoo.... what the hell is that?" [Radio: (C) Global] Gemini Man transmits, "She ain't a Forcer, she's a Hunter." "Not that there's a difference these days." [Radio: (C) Global] Agile transmits, "Ok, Hunter Doof. Tell that dork X that I'll kill him sometime soon!" [Radio: (C) Global] Ether Skunk transmits, "Figure you'll get it right one of these tries, eh?" [Radio: (C) Global] Agile transmits, "And tell that dork Wildrider I want my hat back!"
