Thu Dec 12 News Report ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *HeadLIne Heifer appears, eyes wide in genuine concern as she addresses cameras* We at GNN have just been issued a statement by RepLIforce concerning events that occurred last night on the moon itself! In what was a joint trip of the worlds protective forces, UN, RepLIforce, and Maverick Hunter personnel to attempt to retrieve the Celestial Duet from the imprisonment imposed upon her by the presumed servator of Nigh, Procyon. GNN reporters were not allowed to the scene, with safety concerns cited by RepLIforce sources, but they have divulged the following information. Duets recovery, portended an aura of bluish energy, apparently incited the arrival of Procyon, whose controversial nature appears to have been finally revealed. In an outrage, the stardroid took on the form of the RepLIforce Commander General himself. Included is a video cLIp: *in a voice with vague tones of General, a reverse image of the commander intones* -- "If it is a new evolution, then it is /I/ who brought it on. Or do you not know of the fables Duet. The fables your companion once spoke of. A planet will rise and meet Judgement. And it shall fail. Yet it shall be recreated by the act of Time itself. And then it shall meet Judgement again and /defy/ it. He never said what would happen when it defied it!!! HE NEVER SAID A THING OF WHAT MY ACT WOULD BRING ABOUT!!!" The look to Procyon's face is of someone who has finally seen the /entire/ plan of the Universe all at once... and who has cracked beneath its pressure. -- Immediately afterwards, the stardroid unleashed his version of the Apocalypse CAnnon, striking the attending RepLIforce Commander and the recovered Duet, but ultimately, both stardroids left the scene. All crewmembers are accounted for, and with the exception of General, returned safely. RepLIforce has stated the officer is indeed still aLIve, but are tight-LIpped regarding the extent of his injuries or his anticipated return to duty. Officials have also decLIned to take a stance on the impLIcations of the revival of the stardroid Duet. *HeadLIne Heifer achems demurely, and fLIcks an ear* Mmmore details will be revealed as they come available!

We now take you LIve to Angie Ursula who's on location. Angie?" *The screen shifts into a shot of Paris, the Effiel Tower in the background, a large amount of visible damage done to it.* "Thank you, Jerome. As you can see the city of Paris has suffered tremendous damage from last night's unexpected attack on the city by the Maverick Hunters. After speaking with many of the survivors of the attack, it seems that the Maverick Hunters had planned this attack along with the French Resistance, deLIvering a rather sudden blow on a highly prized city within Maverick territory. Eye witness reports even claim that the Maverick Emperor Sigma himself attended the battle, and this crater..." *The shot pans down to a rather large imprint in the ground near the base of the tower.* "... was where he ultimate met his defeat at the hands of the Maverick Hunter Zero. However, several Maverick loyaLIsts claim that these reports are indeed false, and without any available evidence of either way, one is left wondering what really happened here. The United Nations and RepLIforce both had no comments at this time, but they are expected to most LIkely disavow any knowledge of the attack due to their continued alLIance with the Maverick Empire in LIeu of the GLobal threat brought forth by the Stardroids apparent return. At this time, we are hoping to get an interview with Maverick Hunter Signas, who according to early Maverick Hunter press releases, was the organizer and commander of this operation." *Angie pauses for a moment as the camera pans across the city, showing the large amounts of damage* "As you can see, Paris has seen better days, and it is still unknown what will be done with the city now. Small skirmishes even now are occuring on the outskirts of the city between the Resistance and the Empire, and it's surely an inevitabiLIty that Paris will soon be engulfed in a fierce battle once again. This is Angie Ursula, reporting LIve from Paris for GNN." $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ [Radio: (C) GLobal] Metal Shark transmits, "Hmm, it appears I have a match with Alpha. Interesting."
