EBN: RX SPOTTED IN EUDORIA CONTAMINATED ZONE[edit]
9 April 2013, Thread: http://www.entropiaplanets.com/threads/ebn-rx-spotted-in-eudoria-contaminated-zone.9026/ ---
Jermain Johansson: “You’re watching Entropia Breaking News. I’m your host, Jermaine Johansson.
Today’s top story:
RX units have once again been sighted by CDF scouts; this time, in Eudoria’s contaminated zone.
CDF Ground Forces Commander Brigadier General Yevgeny de Souza released the following statement:”
Voice of Brigadier General Yevgeny de Souza: “Over the last few days, CDF Scouts have reported regular sightings of RX units mining Pyrite rich areas of the contaminated zone in Eudoria.
The Governor has issued another warrant. Any colonist who lands the killing strike or shot on an RX unit will be rewarded by the CDF. The following rewards will be handed out, depending on the type of RX unit destroyed:
RX Unit Bounty Rewards
RX Unit Alpha - Armor Plating Mark.10C TEN Edition + CalyTrek CR Spirit MK.III RX Edition (L) + Isis LC-35 RX Edition (L)
RX Unit Beta 242 Armor Plating Mark.10C TEN Edition (L) + CalyTrek CR Spirit MK.III RX Edition (L) + Isis LC-35 RX Edition (L)
RX Unit Beta - CalyTrek CR Spirit MK.III RX Edition (L) + Isis LC-35 RX Edition (L)
Any resources that the RX carry on them may be looted, but be warned - the CDF will not venture into the contaminated zone. The contaminated zone is lawless, in practice. We will not be there to protect you.
End transmission.”
Jermaine Johansson: “EBN has received an anonymous tip that there is a newly built fort in the contaminated zone near Camp Echidna. The RX have been seen dropping off and picking up supplies there, and the pattern of their activity suggests they will be there again tomorrow around 18:00 UTC Wednesday.
All brave bounty hunters are advised to be sure to stash their goods before entering this zone as it is inhabited by treacherous bandits.
Stay tuned for more details.

“Jermain Johansson: You’re watching Entropia Breaking News. I’m your host, Jermaine Johansson.
Today, the PVP area at Fort Argus became the scene of a massacre, as man fought man-machine, with man emerging as the victor.
All those who risked their life in the battle are owed a great debt of gratitude from all Calypsians, but the following colonists were rewarded for landing the killing strike or shot on an RX unit:

EBN: RX SPOTTED IN NORTHERN EUDORIA[edit]
05 April 2013, Thread: http://www.entropiaplanets.com/threads/ebn-rx-spotted-in-northern-eudoria.9006/
Jermaine Johansson: “You’re watching Entropia Breaking News. I’m your host, Jermaine Johansson.
The CDF released a statement today about a very important development in the hunt for the RX and the Egg. Let’s listen.
Voice of Brigadier General Yevgeny de Souza: “Earlier today, CDF Scouts spotted what appeared to be RX units. We know for sure that these aren’t colonists wearing RX armor, as the “female” RX clad in orange armor was sighted.
The Scouts held back, as they could not engage the RX on their own. Tomorrow, Saturday, between 1 PM and 2PM UTC, the CDF will make a concentrated effort to find and destroy the RX. Any colonist who manages to land the killing blow on one of the RX units will be rewarded.
The rewards are as follows:
RX Unit Bounty Rewards
RX Unit Alpha - Armor Plating Mark.10C TEN Edition + CalyTrek CR Spirit MK.III RX Edition (L) + Isis LC-35 RX Edition (L)
RX Unit Beta 242 - Armor Plating Mark.10C TEN Edition (L) + CalyTrek CR Spirit MK.III RX Edition (L) + Isis LC-35 RX Edition (L)
RX Unit Beta - CalyTrek CR Spirit MK.III RX Edition (L) + Isis LC-35 RX Edition (L)
More detailed instructions will be released on Planet Calypso closer to the time of the attack.
End transmission.”
Jermaine: “There you have it, folks. It’s time to show those metal-clad demons what Calypsians are made of - the time being between 13:00-14:00 UTC on Saturday.”

EBN: THE CDF NEEDS YOU TO HELP CRACK THE CODE[edit]
03 April 2013, Thread: http://www.entropiaplanets.com/threads/ebn-the-cdf-needs-you-to-help-crack-the-code.8990/
Jermaine Johansson: “You’re watching Entropia Breaking News. I’m your host, Jermaine Johansson.
Today’s top story: Decrypting the Encrypted Spatial Units. Yesterday, CDF Ground Forces Commander Brigadier General de Souza joined us to ask the colony for help in finding robot spatial units, which would lead us to the whereabouts of the RX. Since then, several spatial units have been handed in to the CDF.
Now, the CDF has issued a statement saying that they need our help to decipher the code in the spatial units. Time is of the essence, so every able-brained colonist is needed. The following data has been extracted from the found spatial units:
ENCRYPTED SPATIAL UNIT ALPHA & BETA

Yikes. That’s more than this reporter can handle. Let’s hope that someone out there can figure it out. It’s about time we pay the RX a visit. Get cracking!”
EBN: Raiders of the stolen Egg[edit]
02 April 2013, Thread: http://www.entropiaplanets.com/threads/ebn-raiders-of-the-stolen-egg.8985/
Jermaine Johansson: “You’re watching Entropia Breaking News. I’m your host, Jermaine Johansson. Our regular program has been cancelled in order to bring you a statement from CDF Ground Forces Commander, Brigadier General Yevgeny de Souza. Commander?”
Yevgeny de Souza: “CDF intelligence ops have, together with Calypso’s top experts on robots, developed a plan to find the RX and the Egg.
The key lies in the spatial unit, a component of the robot brain.
The spatial unit stores locations, directions, as well as various protocols related to movement, such as patrol routes. We therefore believe that if the robots have a plan for where to take the Egg, we should be able to find clues in the spatial unit.”
Jermaine: “How can our viewers help?”
Yevgeny de Souza: “They can help by getting us the spatial units. Spatial units have been found on all known robot models, so destroy all the robots you can and loot their spatial units. Spatial units shall be handed in to CDF personnel. Any colonists who hands in a spatial unit will be rewarded with one pair of RX OpTac x1 Gloves.
A CDF soldier will be stationed at Fort Troy to accept both spatial units and incubator parts, and hand out rewards.”
Jermaine: “Thank you, commander. Anything you would like to add before you go?”
Yevgeny de Souza: “Yes. Some incubator parts are still missing. Incubator parts have been recovered when mining, hunting and crafting. There appears to be no pattern in how they were found. Hand in incubator parts to Private Cooper to receive a reward.”
Jermaine: “Commander, before you go: what can you tell us about the objects that are approaching Calypso? Are they like the others that hit Calypso last week?”
Yevgeny de Souza: “What objects?”
Jermaine: “Huge, spherical objects are approaching Calypso from space. They’re big, and they’re fast. We can actually see them with our naked eyes from here at Exodus Space Station. By my estimation they will reach Calypso tomorrow. Has the CDF not detected the objects?”
Yevgeny de Souza: “...
I’m needed elsewhere.
End transmission.”
Jermaine: “Commander? Huh. Interesting.
Well, folks, all I can say is that this reporter certainly envies you who are planetside, who get to fight for our homeworld - and have a chance to get your hands on some of that sweet-looking RX armor!
Happy hunting. Tell ‘em Jermaine sent ya!”
Encrypted Spatial Units Rewards
- Encrypted Spatial Unit Alpha - RX OpTac x1 Gloves (M) or (F)
- Encrypted Spatial Unit Beta - RX OpTac x1 Gloves (M) or (F)
- Encrypted Spatial Unit Omega - RX OpTac x1 Gloves (M) or (F)
Hand in Encrypted Spatial Units and/or incubator parts to Private Cooper at Fort Troy (coordinates: 80534,68309) to receive your reward.

EBN: The egg heist[edit]
30 March 2013, Thread: http://www.entropiaplanets.com/threads/ebn-incident-at-treasure-island.8969/
Jermaine Johansson: “You’re watching Entropia Breaking News. I’m your host, Jermaine Johansson.
Today’s top story: The Egg has been stolen. We go immediately to Treasure Island Castle, where CJ Weave is reporting live from the scene of the crime. CJ?”
CJ Weave: “Thanks, Jermaine. I am here at Treasure Island Castle with Xenobiologist Charles Marvin’s assistant, Dr. Wilson, as the Xenobiologist himself is too distraught to be interviewed. Dr. Wilson, we’ve all seen the shocking footage from the surveillance cameras. What can you tell us? Do you know what has happened to the Egg?”
Dr Wilson: “All we know is that it’s alive, and still on Calypso.The tracking signal is scrambled by some kind of interference, so we can’t pinpoint its exact location.”
Jermaine: “I’m going to have to cut you off there, CJ, as the studio is receiving a call from CDF Eudoria HQ. Hello? To whom am I speaking?”
Yevgeny de Souza: “This is the voice of CDF Ground Forces Commander, Brigadier General Yevgeny de Souza.
The CDF has analyzed the scene of the heist, and the surveillance video. The patterns of the electromagnetic interference in the video, coupled with a single piece of armor found at Treasure Island Castle, has lead us to the conclusion that we are in fact dealing with humanoid robots.”
Jermaine: “RX units?”
Yevgeny de Souza: “…
Do you know of any other kind of humanoid robots?
Calypso’s top virtuologists and robotologists are working day and night to find a way to track down-”
Charles Marvin: “Wilson, tell them about the incubator!”
Dr Wilson: “Uh... Yes, professor... When the thieves took the Egg, they broke the incubator holding it. The Egg must be retrieved, but if we don’t repair the incubator or make a new one, the Egg will still die.”
Charles Marvin: “You have to help us, commander! This is your fault! Remember what the governor said!”
Jermaine Johansson: “Are you still with us, commander?”
Yevgeny de Souza: “… Let’s talk about this in private, professor.”
Charles Marvin: “You must allocate manpower to get us the incubator parts! The Egg must be of even greater importance than we could have imagined. You must not let it die, commander!”
Yevgeny de Souza: “We don’t HAVE the manpower. We are already wasting resources by looking for the damn Egg. Calypso is facing an invasion of unprecedented scale, and you want me to-
….
Yes, sir. Understood. Will do.
...
Right. As the CDF can not spare the manpower to secure the incubator parts, the governor calls on all able-bodied colonists to help find them. Any colonists who hands in an incubator part will be rewarded by the CDF. The location at which the incubator parts can be handed in will be disclosed in the coming days.
Among the rewards will be... various armor parts that were reverse engineered by the CDF from the single piece of RX armor left behind at Treasure Island. The complete list of rewards will follow after this broadcast.”
CJ Weave: “Professor, how does one find an incubator part?”
Charles Marvin: “Incubator parts can be found when hunting, mining, or crafting. So manufacture one, dig one out of the ground, or kill someone or something and take theirs! It doesn’t matter, just get us the incubator parts!”
Yevgeny de Souza: “May I PLEASE finish now?
I have a war to win.
Experts are trying to figure out a way to find the RX, and the Egg. We don’t yet know why the RX broke the truce, nor why they are collaborating with the robots. Colonists are urged to remain vigilant, as the RX could be hiding among us. Any suspicious behavior should be reported to the CDF.
End transmission.”
Jermaine: “Well, there you have it, folks. Interesting stuff. Wouldn’t mind getting my hands on some of that RX armor myself. You’re probably going to attract a lot of accidental blue on blue in it though... But you probably wouldn’t even notice it if you’re wearing that armor. Wow! Happy hunting!”

Fan Fiction[edit]
29 March 2013, Thread: http://www.entropiaplanets.com/threads/ebn-incident-at-treasure-island.8969/#post-58206
A long time ago these aliens were attacked by the robots, like Calypso has been for a few times now. It was a long time ago and they were both a lot more primitive then they are these days. After decades of war the robots finally seemed to get the upper hand and the aliens were forced to hide their most important 'treasure'. With all their last effort they managed to build spaceships capable of traveling large distanced trough space. They also build a capsule and hid the 'treasure' in it.
Right before they were overrun by the robots a few spaceships managed to leave the planet and go into space. All of them went a different direction in order to confuse the robots. A few of their ships did get shot down, but the one with the 'treasure' at least got away.
After traveling years they found a planet suitable to hide the capsule containing the 'treasure'. The planet was a very young planet where life had just begun. The aliens hid the capsule somewhere on the planet and set an alarm, to notify them IF the capsule was found, bet they did not expect anyone to find it ever.
The planet evolved and so did the creatures and all the creatures we now know on the planet finally lived on the planet. Then one day a strange race of bipeds arrived on the planet and called it Calypso. They colonized the planet and killed its creatures. All that activity attracted the robots, because they assimilate societies and use their resources, so they were attacked several times, but neither the colonists or the robots knew what was hidden on Calypso.
One day one of the colonists killed a big creature and found a strange egg shaped capsule, which all of a sudden started to vibrate. Not knowing what it was he sold it to one of the well know colonists on the planet, who in turn sold it again after a few years to another colonist.
What they and all the other colonists did not know was that the vibration of the egg was actually the alarm the aliens set on the capsule to notify them if the capsule was found. The signal traveled trough space and after years arrived at the descendants of the escaped aliens that settled on a distant planet all those years ago.
The tale of the capsule was part of their history so they instantly knew what had happened and began their travel to the planet they hit the capsule on.
Arriving at the planet they discovered that the same robots that had made them leave their planet were now attacking Calypso and that the robots were, as they were, much more evolved this time. They decided that attacking the robots would let the robots know that they still excised and so they came up with a plan to rescue the egg from the planet.
As we have seen from the video, this was not that hard, because not knowing what it was Deathifier had just left it on his table for the aliens to grab......

EBN: Incident at Treasure Island[edit]
28 March 2013, Thread: http://www.entropiaplanets.com/threads/ebn-incident-at-treasure-island.8969/
Jermaine Johansson:
“We interrupt tonight’s broadcast of Knee deep in twisted metal - Life in the CDF to bring you these breaking news.
Just hours ago, an incident at Treasure Island Castle was caught by surveillance cameras. EBN has received a copy of the tape. Let’s watch.
Treasure Island Surveillance Camera
EBN is trying to reach Brigadier General de Souza and Xenobiologist Charles Marvin for comments. We will keep our viewers updated as more information comes in. Any tips from the public are welcome.
Knee deep in twisted metal will continue after these messages from our sponsor, the Genesis Star corporation.”
EBN: Update on the Invasion[edit]
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.”

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[edit]

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![edit]

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.”
