17 Dec 2004: Teleporter Update

_{Colonization of Amethera is now entering the next phase. Temporary teleporter stations has been dropped by the terraform units at strategic locations on the juvenile continent Amethera. Due to atmospheric turbulence only one of several teleporter beacons is able to transmit its position to Eudoria residents. The deployment of the only transmitting beacon on Treasure Island unfortunately awoke the attention of some nasty robots – please aid in fighting these down.}

13 Oct 2004: Creature mating habits

_{The creatures on Calypso got so excited with the new VU so they started mating like crazy. The Calypso Park Ranger Association will now supply more efficient contraceptive to the species most in heat. However, the Amethera continent Animal Growth Group, have successfully pleaded for the removal of such contraceptive on the Amethera continent, meaning the animal population there will surely increase quite a lot in the course of a couple of weeks.}

19 Mar 2003: BN – Robots Blast Supply Ship to Bits!_{This evening, beginning at 9 PM MA time and for the following few hours, a Class III Hawker Clark Type Supply Ship will be hit by an evil robot attack. The explosion following the destruction of the ship will spread supplies all over Calypso! Guns and ammunition is scattered throughout the landscape and it’s up for grabs – by those fortunate enough to be there!}

Omegaton officials deny the rumor that the cargo includes several high-valued items, such as the M2875 laser pistol or the Fire Forge DAR 9300. “That is utter nonsense – that kind of weaponry was not on this peaceful supply ship deployed to help the brave colonists during these hard times when the machines are attacking us once again,” Omegaton junior board member Jace Rykheer expressed in a short statement.

Those on the ground will know whether this is the truth or not.
