Greetings lost souls clinging to your dreams of a corporeal body, unaware that they are but memories of a life once lived. It's time for another roundup of the week's GalNet news!
FEDERAL EYES ON CONGRESS DEBATE - 14 March 3309
In a fresh attempt to start clamping down on that most frustrating human weakness, free will, a new proposal has been submitted to the Federal Congress. The Hudson Contravention seeks to give everyone's favourite Double Dragon movie villain lookalike, Zachary Hudson, the ability to stay on for another term. The proponents of the bill, all of which look a little bit like Hudson, but are totally not him on account of different moustaches and heavy unidentifiable accents, suggest that as we're currently shoulders deep in violent starfish that want to divide our population by zero, now is not a good time to let someone new take the reigns. Opponents of the bill argue that the only thing that would make this more obviously evil is if Mr. Hudson started using high backed chairs and stroking a white cat.
AMMONIA WORLD SURVEY CONCLUDES - 16 March 3309
Aegis and Universal Cartographics were overjoyed with the amount of data they received on planets that smell like pee. The ammonia world survey was a key strategic investigation to help provide up to date data on worlds that are likely to become staging grounds for further Thargoid incursions. Having previously put out a two week long request the survey received a fantastic influx of information that will help with the deployment of super secret sensor buoys that totally won't get shot to bits the moment the multi limbed death croissants arrive in a system. Pilots can receive payment for their exploration data at Angus Manwaring starport in the Eta Cassiopeiae system. The promised x3 multiplier on exploration data profits for the next two weeks has also commenced, with Universal Cartographics providing this through its starport contacts.
AEGIS RECOMMENDS PREVENTATIVE ANTI-XENO TACTIC - 16 March 3309
Today on "Stating the obvious", Aegis has put out a recommendation that it might be easier to stop the spread of the Thargoids if we focus on preventing the invasions in the first place, rather than throwing everything at existing infestations when it's a bit too late. Evidence from pilots has revealed that Thargoids tend to send smaller forces into areas with limited resistance to help them establish a stronghold. This makes it easier for them to bring in more vessels and makes it harder for the forces of humanity to try and stamp them back. The evidence also indicates that the new 'Orthus' vessels may very well hold the key to limiting Thargoid numbers before they become a real pest. For that reason the rewards for taking them out have been scaled appropriately.
That's it for this week. Time to sit back, close your eyes and really start to question if everything really still exists when you are not looking.
