EBN: Update on the Invasion
27 March 2013, Thread: http://www.entropiaplanets.com/threads/ebn-update-on-the-invasion.8962/
Jermaine Johansson: “You’re watching Entropia Breaking News. I’m your host, Jermaine Johansson. Why did the robots attack Treasure Island? Did the RX know about the “Vanguard”? What role, if any, does the Egg play in the robot invasion? Tonight, CDF Ground Forces Commander, Brigadier General Yevgeny de Souza, joins us to answer these questions and more. Commander, about the invasion - how are we doing?”
Yevgeny de Souza: “‘We’ are holding fast, but just barely. The efforts of volunteer colonists have bought us some time to mobilize reserves and recall forces from expeditionary missions to fight the invasion. Also, the forces and assets that were moved to Amethera after the attack on Treasure Island will be moved back to Eudoria.
Jermaine: “What about Treasure Island? What about the Egg? This whole thing started with an attack on Treasure Island.”
Yevgeny: “The robots have shown no interest in Treasure Island, or any other part of Amethera, since the main invasion began. Our theory is that the attack on Treasure Island was simply a feint, intended to force us to move forces to Amethera, thus weakening our positions on Eudoria.”
Jermaine: “Some high profile colonists insist that the robots are here to destroy the Egg. What do you say to those people?”
Yevgeny: “… As I’ve told the Xenobiologist on numerous occasions, the Egg was only worth protecting because the robots appeared to show an interest in it. As they no longer show an interest the Egg, there is no longer any reason to protect it. Look - we have never faced an invasion like this before. The very survival of our colony is at stake. The idea that we would set aside vital assets to protect an egg, when every man and woman is needed to fight the invasion, is ludicrous.”
Jermaine: “Speaking of the Egg, an incident at Treasure Island involving a CDF soldier and the Egg was caught on tape by EBN crew. The RX tell a CDF soldier about a new robot weapon - days later, the Vanguard appears. Were the RX trying to warn us? To help us?”
Yevgeny: “First of all, we have no reason to actually believe that the soldier in that video was in contact with the RX. It’s not like the robots introducing a new unit during an invasion is unheard of. Anyone could have guessed that. The soldier is currently undergoing a full psychiatric evaluation. Secondly, if the RX were in contact with the soldier in question, they also convinced, blackmailed or brainwashed him to destroy the Egg. The RX may be neutral, but they are still robots. We’ll deal with them after we’ve dealt with the invasion.”
Jermaine: “… Alright, thank you.. Anything you would like to say to our viewers?”
Yevgeny: “Yes. Recalling troops from Amethera and mobilizing reserves will only do so much. We still need all the help we can get. Colonists who want to volunteer should check the CDF bulletin and contact CDF personnel for more information.”
Jermaine: “Thanks for joining us, Commander. Up next: A special on the Vanguard, titled “Fancy footwork - How to survive an encounter with a Vanguard”, right after these messages from our sponsor, the Chikara corporation.”

Jermaine Johansson:
“We interrupt tonight’s recap of the invasion to bring you an update on the swarm of objects detected by CDF satellites last night. As if fighting an invasion wasn’t enough - it now appears that Calypso is being bombarded from space. Thankfully, not by the robots. CJ Weave is reporting live from the field.”
CJ Weave: “Thanks, Jermaine. We are currently at the crash site of one the many meteorites that have struck Eudoria over the last few hours. Crashes have been felt or seen near Ashi, Minopolis and Cape Corinth.
So far, no casualties have been reported, but the damage to infrastructure and property is calculated to be in the billions of PED.
Imperial Zoological Scouts are currently moving in to investigate the meteorites... CDF obviously... hands full... invasion…”
Jermaine: “CJ?”
CJ Weave: “… going in... closer look, before... arrive...”
Jermaine: “CJ, the feed is getting very unstable. Can you hear me?”
CJ: “... solid black metal... glowing...”
Jermaine: “CJ, you’re breaking up.”
CJ: “…
The meteorite... ... it’s MOVING!
…”
Jermaine the anchor: “CJ? CJ..? Well, folks, it appears we have... once again... lost the feed.
Our technicians are hard at work trying to get the feed back up as soon as possible.
While we wait, I would like to remind our viewers that Exodus Space Station is not a refugee camp. Any vessel entering our protected zone may be fired upon.
Thank you.”

CDF: Update
There is currently a heavy overload on the Eudorian revival system network. Colonists are asked to refrain from all non-essential death for the duration of the invasion.
A swarm of unidentified objects have been detected by CDF satellites. The current speed and trajectory of the objects indicate that they will reach Calypso within 24 hours.
The objects are believed to originate from the Akbal-Cimi system.
Colonists are advised to stay within reach of shelter for the time being. Await further instructions.
End transmission.

Jermaine: “We interrupt tonight’s broadcast of “RX - Enemy among us?” to bring you a special report from our reporter in the field. CJ?”
CJ : “Thanks, Jermaine.
Calypso is under attack.
I am reporting to you live from Fort Ithaca, where a CDF heavy tank company under command of Captain Lena Belmont is currently making last preparations before joining the frontline.
Captain Belmont, what is happening?"
Captain Belmont: “ You said it: Calypso is under attack. My company is just about to move out to help lift the siege on Athena.”
CJ: “What can you tell our viewers?”
Captain Belmont: ”If you can help, then come help - if you can’t, then stay out of our way. Attacks have so far been reported at Nymphtown, Minopolis, Port Atlantis and Athena Spaceport. Robots, of course. But we’re ready for them. This is what the CDF was made for. This is what we live, and die for.
Hold on, I’m receiving a transmission.
…
Okay, listen up, boys and girls; plans have changed. Man the turrets and get in your tanks, they’re coming our way!”

EBN: Attack repelled
13 March 2013, Thread: http://www.entropiaplanets.com/threads/ebn-attack-repelled.8836/
Interview with CDF Ground Forces Commander at Treasure Island Castle
Jermaine the Anchorman: “You’re watching Entropia Breaking News. I’m your host, Jermaine Johansson.
A robot attack on Treasure Island, just days after Xenobiologist Charles Marvin announced the plan to hatch the Egg. We go immediately to Treasure Island Castle, where our reporter CJ Weave is joined by CDF Ground Forces Commander Yevgeny de Souza and Xenobiologist Charles Marvin.”
CJ Weave: “Thanks, Jermaine. Commander, a robot attack on Calypso soil, and the CDF was nowhere to be seen. What went wrong?”
Brigadier General Yevgeny de Souza: “First of all, we would like to thank the colonists who risked life and limb to repel the attack. That being said, it was simply the case of many small unfortunate events accumulating, resulting in the CDF arriving after the fighting was over. The CDF will review its protocols to make sure that nothing like this ever happens again. We don’t yet know why the robots attacked Treasure Island, of all places, but-
Xenobiologist Charles Marvin: “May I interject, commander? Thank you. It is painfully obvious that the robots want to destroy the Egg! How can you not see that? The Egg must be even more important than we originally thought. Commander, you MUST help us move the Egg to a safer location on Eudoria.”
Yevgeny de Souza: “That won’t be necessary, professor. Like I said: we don’t yet know why the robots attacked Treasure Island Castle. CDF operatives are investigating this as we speak. In the meantime, significant CDF assets will be relocated so as to ensure a quicker response to any future attacks on Treasure Island, or any other part of Ameth... era... Hey, what the hell is going on over there?!”
CDF soldier 1: “Let go of me! You don’t know what you’re doing! Listen to me, THE RX TOLD-”
CDF soldier 2: “Sir! We found Private Duplantier wiring explosives to the Egg incubator. He kept babbling about the RX units and some new weapon that the robots-”
Yevgeny de Souza: “Shut your mouth, corporal. You, cut the feed. NOW!”
Jermaine: ”CJ?
…
It appears that we have, once again, lost the feed from Treasure Island Castle.
Uhm...
Enjoy these messages from our sponsor, the Omegaton corporation.”
EBN: Status Update from Treasure Island
08 March 2013, Thread: http://www.entropiaplanets.com/threads/ebn-status-update-from-treasure-island.8822/
Jermaine: “You’re watching Entropia Breaking News. I’m your host, Jermaine Johansson.
Tonight’s top story:
“The federal empire - omniscient, omnipresent, benevolent and just sustainer and protector of mankind“.
But first, we’ll take you to Treasure Island Castle, where our reporter, CJ Weave, has an update on the effort to hatch the Egg. CJ?”
CJ: Thanks, Jermaine. Charles Marvin and his team have started the procedure that they say will finally reveal the contents of the fabled Egg. The team of scientists says-
Brigadier General Yevgeny de Souza: “This is CDF Ground Forces Commander Yevgeny de Souza, transmitting on all frequencies.
Multiple warships of unknown origin have entered Calypso’s atmosphere. The fleet is currently over north-west Amethera, heading south-east at high speed. All civilians are urged to stay calm and keep clear; the CDF will intercept the vessels before they reach any major population centers. End transmission.”
Jermaine: ”Uh... Okay. Back over to CJ. CJ?”
CJ Weave: “Thanks, Jermaine. Like I said, Charles Marvin and his team have initiated the procedure that they say will finally reveal the contents of the Egg. The team of scientists says that the Egg still needs to be incubated a while longer, but it’s merely a question of time before it hatches.
I will be reporting to you from Treasure Island until... until....”
Jermaine: “CJ? What’s all that commotion? Is the Egg hatching?”
CJ Weave: “No, it’s - we’re being attacked! Please, send he-”
Jermaine: “CJ? CJ!
Well, folks, it appears we have lost the feed. Uh... Enjoy these messages from our sponsor, the Genesis Star corporation, while our technicians work on getting the feed back up.”
EBN: Egg-citing news out of Treasure Island - and that’s no yolk!
07 March 2013, Thread: http://www.entropiaplanets.com/threads/ebn-egg-citing-news-out-of-treasure-island-and-that%E2%80%99s-no-yolk.8802/
Jermaine the Anchorman: “You’re watching Entropia Breaking News. I’m your host, Jermaine Johansson.
Today’s top story:
A major announcement coming out of Treasure Island. We go now to our reporter, CJ Weave, who is reporting live from Treasure Island Castle. CJ?”
CJ Weave: “Thanks, Jermaine.
'Aaaah, The Egg...' A standing joke among Calypsians, ever since entrepreneur-colonist Zachurm “Deathifier” Emegen bought the petrified ovum for a fantastical amount of PED. Now, scientists say, we might finally get to hear the punchline.
The Egg will hatch - if everything goes as planned, that is.
We are joined now by renowned Xenobiologist Charles Marvin, who is leading the project to hatch the Egg.
“Charles, how exactly do you plan on hatching the Egg?” Xenobiologist Charles Marvin: “It’s simple, really. The Egg was extracted from the carcass of the Atrox Queen - it was never brought to term. We intend to ‘tell’ the Egg that it’s time to hatch, by subjecting it to a cocktail of hormones... Atrox and otherwise.”
CJ Weave: “What exactly do you hope to accomplish by hatching the Egg?”
Xenobiologist Charles Marvin: “Knowledge. The Egg is a xenobiological anomaly. It will remain a missing link in our understanding of this world we call Calypso until it hatches.
And who knows what we could learn from whatever hides within the egg?”
CJ Weave: “Charles, it’s an Atrox Queen egg; would it not be safe to assume that it contains an atrox?”
Xenobiologist Charles Marvin: Well... Uhm... Good point. Hmm... It’s actually a green Atrox Queen egg, so...”
CJ Weave: Thank you, professor. For EBN News, I’m CJ Weave. Back to you at the station.
Jermaine: “Well, there you have it, folks. A new chapter in Calypso’s history, or the world’s most expensive omelet? I personally can’t wait to find out. Stay tuned.”
