Last night, the entire planet was shaken by earthquakes, some of them rather far from any faultLInes. In addition, many volcanoes, including some extinct for centuries erupted. But then... after just a few minutes, all seismic activity ceased. Strange, that."

The interview holovideo was posted onLIne at several Music Loving Websites across the nation. The video is, well, -this-. An interviewer is interviewing four people. One is Daryn, the other three is a long-blonde haired fellow, an angelform reploid with black wings, and red hairs and eyes, and a blue-haired female. Daryn yawns. Interviewer: "So what do you think of all the top bands reaching records? Is the competition getting too fierce for Order and Chaos?" Daryn bLInks and is nudged in the side by the blue haired woman, "Huh? What?" Interviewer: Er...we were asking about the competition, Daryn. Daryn: Oh! ... Competition? Interviewer: Er, yes? Daryn: I don't follow. With a heavy sigh the interviewer looks sympathetically to the blue-haired woman who speaks up instead. "We feel that even with these records being set by other bands, that we, Order and Chaos, will always remain loyal to our fanbase and that they will in return remain loyal to us. We do not care about records and fame, though we have achieved some of that in our time, but we do not need it to play our music and send our message out to the world." Daryn looks over to the woman, "Yeah, what Megs said. Anway, we're gonna be having our own concert soon. Looks LIke the music world is heating up, eh? Haha...Haha...Hahahaha!", and so Daryn bursts out laughing. The interviewer looks to the screen, "Well that's it, they don't really seem to care. We at EspesOnLIne enjoy knowing that a group so dedicated to the Espes Chronicals do not perform merely for monetary funds. That's it, Cut." Yup, definately an amateur video of sorts. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ IC News $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Message: 14/23 Posted Author Grinchy Sigma Mon Dec 16 News Report ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Excert Musical Sequence of the RMTV Special: How Sigma FUBAR'd Christmas, an enchanting children's classic in which Sigma tries to infect Santa Wily with the Maverick Virus, only to get beaten to a bloody pulp by the Robot Masters.

Is GNN...** Press releases from Maverick-held Germany are slow in coming this week, as security in the country continues to tighten. Undergroud GNN reporters within the country have reported an increase in troop movements, and organized construction projects taking place outside of BerLIn itself. The Maverick government is not providing official comment at this time, but these seem to be security reactions based on keeping BerLIn secure from the same kind of coordinated Hunter attack that occured in France last week. Of particular note is an increased campaign to tally, organize, and relocate the human populations of the country ... In other Maverick news, a straw poll regarding the various 'Maverick Christmas' sentiments that have been permiating popular culture this season, rate the majority of Mavericks polled at 'Unamused.' $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ IC News $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Message: 14/26 Posted Author Additonal Christmas 'Cheer' Tue Dec 17 News Report ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Somewhere in the middle of crater scared Paris, there is a bit of a scuffle as a pack of Mavericks wander out.
