Greetings Commanders!
Welcome to another week of humanity trying to figure out what its purpose is in the universe, and what fruitless activity we can undertake to find some meaning in our fleeting mortal lives. The galaxy continues to be beset by rampaging aliens who base their engine sounds on stubbing your little toe, and the political factions continue to try and find any solution other than actually working together. Here's a round up of just what's been going on this week!
THE PRO-AEGIS STANCE OF THE PRINCESS - 23 January
"How dare you think about lives rather than dresses!" appears to be the Imperial viewpoint at the moment, as Princess Aisling Duvall continues her calls to have Aegis returned and for humanity to come together and not die. Yes, it's good to know that even in the 34th century people still get offended by celebrities "stepping out of their role" and showing an ounce of empathy. For her part, Aisling continues to soldier on and make the argument for a more unified approach to ensure the Empire's survival. The question will be whether the throne sides with her or those who hate change...
EXPERIMENTAL WEAPONS STABILISER BECOMES AVAILABLE - 26 January
Azimuth "No please, we only dissect people for ethical reasons" Biotech are happy to announce that their weapon stabiliser is ready! The new module will let pilots add even more anti-xeno weapons onto their ships so that they can fire off even more doom per second against the trampoline shaped space pastries of certain death. Shouting "pew pew pew" whilst you fire isn't required but some weird pilots who don't get out much say it helps!
DELAINE VOWS TO DEFEND CALIFORNIA NEBULA - 27 January
As the superpowers look to protect their own controlled systems, outlying areas are being left to fend for themselves. Fear not though, the totally benevolent and not at all ulterior motive driven Archon Delaine is here to save the day! The Kumo Crew are swooping in like giant eagles covered in spikes to totally protect people and not at all take advantage of the situation and grab some power. The Turner Research Group have responded to the move with "Oh for crying out loud, now we have to deal with them too". So the situation is all cheerful, friendly and not at all turning into a bubbling volcano of turmoil that could erupt at any given moment!
XENO SCANNER UPGRADE - 27 January
Good news for people who like being able to see imminent death before it's too late! The dedicated boffins at the Arque Laboratory have made a new scanner with an even greater range! Now you can get a greater heads up on the screeching doombringers! The new improved scanners are available from military, high-tech and industrial planetary bases, as well as rescue megaships and probably skeevy individuals in trenchcoats called Gary.
That's it for this week. Let's all hold hands together and try to maintain the desperate illusion that reality is real and that we are not all manifestations in the dreams of a sleeping horror. Clear your mind and don't think about how they could wake up at any moment. I SAID DON'T TH____
