effect on many of its Research Stations in Tau Ceti. Apparently these research
stations haven't been able to yield the expected revenue, and thus adjustments
have to be made."}

round_time = 60*40
message = {"Earlier rumours about paycuts on Research Stations in the Tau Ceti system have
been confirmed. Shockingly, however, the cuts will only affect lower tier
personnel. Heads of Staff will, according to our sources, not be affected."}

round_time = 60*90
message = {"Unbelievable reports about human experimentation have reached our ears. According
to a refugee from one of the Tau Ceti Research Stations, their station, in order
to increase revenue, has refactored several of their facilities to perform experiments
on live humans, including virology research, genetic manipulation, and \"feeding them
to the slimes to see what happens\". Allegedly, these test subjects were neither
humanified monkeys nor volunteers, but rather unqualified staff that were forced into
the experiments, and reported to have died in a \"work accident\" by NanoTrasen."}

message = {"The new field of research trying to explain several interesting spacetime oddities,
also known as \"Bluespace Research\", has reached new heights. Of the several
hundred space stations now orbiting in Tau Ceti, fifteen are now specially equipped
to experiment with and research Bluespace effects. Rumours have it some of these
stations even sport functional \"travel gates\" that can instantly move a whole research
team to an alternate reality."}

message = {"Several people have been found unconscious at their terminals. It is thought that it was due
to a lack of sleep or of simply migraines from staring at the screen too long. Camera footage
reveals that many of them were playing games instead of working and their pay has been docked
accordingly."}

message = {"The newly-christened civillian transport Lotus Tree suffered two very large explosions near the
bridge today, and there are unconfirmed reports that the death toll has passed 50. The cause of
the explosions remain unknown, but there is speculation that it might have something to do with
the recent change of regulation in the Moore-Lee Corporation, a major funder of the ship, when M-L
announced that they were officially acknowledging inter-species marriage and providing couples
with marriage tax-benefits."}

Lupus system. This comes only hours after NanoTrasen officials announced they will no longer trade with the
colony, citing the increased presence of \"hostile factions\" on the colony has made trade too dangerous to
continue. NanoTrasen officials have not given any details about said factions. More on that at the top of
the hour."}

the colony, claiming \"there has been no increase in anti-NanoTrasen activity\", and \"\[the only] reason
NanoTrasen withdrew was because the \[Tenebrae Lupus] system's Phoron deposits have been completely mined out.
We have little to trade with them now\". NanoTrasen officials have denied these allegations, calling them
\"further proof\" of the colony's anti-NanoTrasen stance. Meanwhile, Refuge Security has been unable to quell
the riots. More on this at 6."}
