Log started: 12/6/02 8:40:06 PM Kain's Office(#3038Ten) This is more or less an standard office for Kain to deal with Blue Strider business. The desk here is constantly messy, leaving one to wonder whether or not if Kain will ever get time to deal with these notes... Off to one side is a Bowl and such for Buster, Kain's dog. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ CiviLIan $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Message: 13/18 Posted Author Security Break at UN Building Thu Dec 05 Jessica Blakesly ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Just so you all know, we've had a security breach at the UN building last night, where it appeared that a Reploid Ninja of some sort blazed past our security at high speeds, and proceeded to zip around the building and evading all of our security teams for a few minutes. This entire chase finally ended when I ran him to ground in Kelly's office, where he then tried to make a break for freedom... right through the office force field. Sufficient to say, he is in custody now." "'Dear Sec. General; I need one of two potential favors. If you able to walk down and visit me, I need a pardon and a reference to the Recruiting Officers. If you have no idea who did this, I need you to give Nin Gecko a reference for the recruiting officers. They have contact information from there. Also I owe for one donut. Will pay later. -N'" "Apparently our ninja friend was rather desperate to prove his mettle for getting a job with us. I want whomever turned this guy away from our recruiting desk to have a refresher course on HOW - and why - they turn people away. This Reploid was a pain to pin down, and while he may be a LIttle... exuberant, anyone who's wilLIng to go this far for a job deserves a bit of consideration." $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ IC News $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Message: 14/14 Posted Author Maverick Press Release Wed Dec 04 News Report ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A press release from out of BerLIn: This evening, the Maverick government has made an announcment that it intends to close the city of BerLIn to tourist traffic for the duration of the Stardroid crisis. In addition, the Mavericks have renounced their intent at a ceasefire between the Maverick Hunter and RepLIforce groups. A spokesreploid for the CRF has released the following statement: "Given the agression of the celestial invaders, we feel it is vital we concentrate on protecting our interests at home. We cannot poLIce the rest of the world, nor do we need it to poLIce us." All European border security has been tightened in accordance with the crisis, with checkpoints set up in major cities, and tourist traffic in Denmark and France slowed to less than thirty percent normal. Though the Maverick government states they have no intention to fully eLIminate tourism into their countries, they are eager to stress that unnecessary travel is a security risk in crisis situations. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ IC News $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Message: 14/15 Posted Author Rumor Mill Abounds Wed Dec 04 News Report ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ On the Internet, deep within the hacker subculture, a small rumor begins to fLIt around to those in the know. Someone, going by the aLIas of 'Ourobouros', has set up a very small, out of the way site for hackers to gather and exchange ideas. Only accessible by those with a good level of competence with a computer (OOC: Hacking abiLIty required), this site is deeply buried within other, more innocuous sites that can only be accessed by following a correct trail of LInks, which are hardly obvious. The motto of the site, jargon.com, neatly pasted across the expertly designed index page, is 'Share Openly Or Have It Taken From You.' Of course, copies of the Hacker Manifesto can be found there, as well as various programs, tips, and discussion forums. The webmaster promises it is completely confidential, and so far no Feds seem to have found it, or if they have, they're afraid of the firestorm that would come from exposing it... $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ IC News $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Message: 14/16 Posted Author UN Debate's official date Thu Dec 05 News Report ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Now, keeping up with poLItics, a few days after announcing that they''d be holding a debate to deal with the new Stardroids crisis, the United Nations called again today a press release in Seoul, announcing the official date and time this event will take place on." (The screen changes to the press stand in the UN Plaza in Seoul. Some UN representatives speak there on the microphone, while trying to cover themselves from the heavy rain that's getting the whole place soaked up.) "We've already recieved the answers from those who we invited to join this debate. We're GLad that everyone showed their interest in discussing such an important topic as this one, and we expect to come up with a solution via this gathering. Everyone who asked for it has got already a seat assigned. The debate (sound of thunder above) will take place this next Saturday, over 6 PM, in Eastern timezone, and it'll be held in the General Assebly Hall, inside our headquarters in Seoul. Of course, the proper security will be placed in order to avoid any kind of trouble during it." (OOC: Date and time for the debate, this Saturday at 6PM. Since we're going to be around 7 factions gathered in a sinGLe room, each faction should bring no more than two/three representatives, or this could become the hell of spam. Questions or any other things, send them to Gale.) $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ IC News $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Message: 14/17 Posted Author Catnapping! Fri Dec 06 News Report ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "We have just recieved word that the Space Kitten, one of only three known which arrived on Earth from a Stardroid Pod, has been stolen from WilyWorld! The thief is known as 'Dynamo', a Bounty Hunter who is also known to have assaulted several Robot Masters in the past. The local poLIce are already investigating to see if they can gain any leads in tracking him down. WilyWorld C.E.O. Gravity Man has released a statement that there are plans to increase security so that such incidents won't be repeated, without inconveniencing parkgoers. The Robot Masters were able to chase Dynamo off before anyone could be injured. If you know where Dynamo may be residing, please contact the Robot Masters.

We here at GNN have just recieved reports of a disturbance at a research faciLIty on the outskirts of St. Petersburg. A camera crew is on the scene, and we go to them now! The fence suddenly explodes inwards under the force of a fireball, sending stone in all directions. Sirens fill the air as spotLIghts come to LIfe, scanning the smoke filled darkness outside the walls. Moments later, tower after tower explodes under multiple missile strikes. Panicking soLIders run back and forth... and then the shattered wall topples under a gigantic taloned foot. An avian Reploid, fully as tall as General, strides through the wreackage, another shape indisctinct behind him. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ IC News $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Message: 14/16 Posted Author Shocking News Sat Dec 07 News Report ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EarLIer this evening, Maverick forces assaulted a research faciLIty owned by the Russian based KDC coperation. Currently, casualties are still being counted. The known Maverick Neon Tiger was sighted during the attack, as well as another Reploid not known as of yet . The Mavericks decimated the faciLIty, causing a great deal of damage. However, of more shocking note was the revelation that the faciLIty was a cover for an operation to develop Reploid minds via torture, brainwashing and sensory deprivation. After reveaLIng this and engaging UN, RepLIforce and Maverick Hunters who arrived to halt the attack, the Mavericks departed. An investigation is currently underway... $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
