See You Next Year

+ +

If you’ve been following us for long enough, you’ll probably know we here at the like to send off the year with one last article. In 2564 we’ve seen pirate raids, weapons of mass destruction, mind-bending anomalies, political protests, lawsuits, and more. PTSD has swept NanoTrasen employees while weapon sales are at an all-time high (even for Sif!). If our news report was the only surviving documentation of this year a century from now then 2564 will be remembered as a year of pain, death, and despair.

+

Except that’s not the whole story, is it? Like most news stations we report on what’s considered news and most of the time that’s the unpleasant stuff going on in the system and wider galaxy. We don’t write an article when your grandmother celebrates her 165th birthday or your best friend lands his dream job. We don’t talk about crime on the fall in New Reykjavik or Sif’s export economy thriving for another decade despite how important it is.

+

Despite all terrible things we’ve reported on, it’s the end of 2564 and we’re still here. We’ve lived and laughed and loved and cried but despite everything, we’re still here. Despite the threats and attacks and bloodshed, we refused to despair and give in. We refused to bow. We refused to be divided. We refused to stop hoping for a better tomorrow. No matter what gets thrown at us, we refuse to stop marching forward because we know the future is bright because we will make it so.

+

Here’s to 2565.

NCS Northern Star Raided

+ +

A Syndicate terrorist cell struck NCS Northern Star late last weekend. Initially posed as an assault on NLS Southern Cross, this turned out to be a ploy to divert resources from the actual target, Northern Star. The ploy succeeded, resulting in the rapid takeover of Northern Star’s surface facility.

+

Despite the initial success, PCRU forces deployed to Southern Cross quickly struck back and retook Northern Star in a matter of hours. Fighting was described as quick and bloody, leaving the hallways a macabre mess of viscera and bullet casings.

+

The intention of the incursion remains unknown. NanoTrasen reports supplies and valuables stolen but lacks evidence of deeper intentions common to anti-NT Syndicate raids. The Syndicate itself has once again taken credit for the terror operation but without nuanced accusations common to its incursions. Perhaps time will reveal deeper motives to the attack.

Spatial Anomalies Spread

+ +

Disturbing reports of warped and twisted space have grown throughout last month. Buildings bigger on the inside than the outside, hallways which never end, doors leading to other worlds; the reports go on and on. While growing in number, such anomalies appear to be transient which has resulted in the loss of several explorers thus far.

+

Despite the growing number of anomalies, VirGov maintains there is no cause for alarm and that such anomalies remain rare and limited to areas of known xenoarcheological activity. NLS Southern Cross’s Ullran Expanse outpost is particularly noteworthy due to the high incidence of anomalous reports.

+

Others meanwhile insist the anomalies must be linked shadekin, a race of mysterious beings first spotted on NCS Northern Star approximately three years ago. As the accusations go, the anomalies must be linked to shadekin as the race itself possesses anomalous space shifting abilities. Critics aptly point out that the anomalies have only been appearing on Sif over the previous several months, long after shadekin were first spotted in Vir.

Assailants Battle Over Southern Cross

+ +

A firefight broke out across NLS Southern Cross this weekend, allegedly involving at least two rival mercenary factions. While NanoTrasen claims to have identified both groups, it has not offered an explanation as to why the factions targeted the station. According to crew reports, the factions apparently used the station to attack one another, treating the crew as collateral damage.

+

Nevertheless, the station suffered heavy damage and casualties but reportedly less than typical. “The crew seemed to hold the line enough to fight back and deal damage to the invaders,” stated an official NT spokesperson. “We were alerted to the situation much earlier than usual and recorded less damage to the station. The ERT expected much more of a bloodbath.”

+

While not the first time Southern Cross has been a staging ground for battling mercenaries, the motives remain unclear. No faction has claimed credit for the battle, though it is worth noting the infamous Syndicate rarely takes credit for attacks which fail to deal tremendous damage to NanoTrasen installations.

Trafficking Targets NanoTrasen Crew

+ +

Reports of a trafficking ring targeting NLS Southern Cross surfaced yesterday, testing the facility’s lackluster security. Allegedly armed with teleportation devices, the perpetrators simply teleported hapless crew to a processing facility to be stripped and sold for ransom or as black-market goods. NanoTrasen maintains that any crew not recovered were resleeved but it remains unknown how many crew may now have other selves sold into slavery.

+

Commonly called “abductors,” such trafficking rings are rare on the frontier but not unheard of, resulting in many horror stories (somewhat rightfully) circulating about the fates of their victims. Whether or not such rings are part of a large organization is unknown but considered unlikely due to the rarity of such attacks.

+

The average person on Sif (or the Karan colonies, for that matter) has little to fear as such incursions are exceptionally rare outside of isolated locales. The average NT employee however would be rightfully afraid given the isolated nature of Southern Cross and the success of this weekend’s incursion. It will be up to NanoTrasen to prevent this from happening again; we all know how that will go.
