Chaos At The Dead Fish

Posted By: Colchek Article: DEC06-1 Reported To: INN Reported On: New Luna Reported At: Sun Dec 10 19:00:08 3006 Chaos At The Dead FishGreenville, New Luna - The revelries of the patrons of the Dead Fish Tavern were disrupted this afternoon by the un-expected arrival of a Nemoni heavy cargo freighter. Not having been seen for years, the smallest denizens of the galaxy literally crashed the party when their ship, suffering engine trouble, crashed into the bar to end up on a table, setting its napkin dispenser and placemats on fire. Quick thinking by the bartender and an NLM pilot brought the fire under control, stabilizing the situation until another Nemoni vessel arrived to search for the missing ship. Reports indicate that comm chatter between the various Nemoni vessels indicate that the Nemoni, apparently having set up shop on New Luna's Ghost Chime Isle, are commencing evacuation after suffering collateral damage from the fierce fighting between PANL and NLM forces in the recent conflict. Nemoni personnel cleared the wreck from the bar quickly, and assistance was offered by the NLM pilot present in their evacuation efforts. Sightings of Nemoni ships on New Luna has increased since the incident, pointing to a potential speedup of their operations. At least for the time being, the Nemoni are remaining tight-lipped about their future plans. - INN

I Am Not A Woman: Eye Witness Of Alistar Butcher's Death Speaks!

Posted By: Keller Article: DEC06-5 Reported To: E!RN Reported On: Waldheim Reported At: Tue Dec 19 07:28:07 3006 New Berlin, Waldheim. One of the eye witnesses at the party agreed to give us first hand information, only hours after the death of Alistar Butcher. We speak to one to one of the men that actually saw it happen. "It feels like a dream," started Shultz Bieber (name changed to protect identity), a professional female impersonator, who is a known comedian on Waldheim. "I was there, a few friends and myself. We go the same time every night. We'd finish up our respective acts and we'd go there to have a shower and wind down from a hard night's work." Mister Bieber then went onto say, "This child, most likely not even capable of growing any form of facial hair comes up to us, blocking us from heading to the showers. I speak Terran Standard rather poorly and we're asking him to move. The child, he continued to make rather advance towards the three of us. Needless to say, I was offended... I hadn't even shaved my legs that night." Mister Bieber has been a female impersonator for near on five years, originally starting to get himself through collage when he was studying the practical application of nanomechanics, before dropping out of University to follow his dreams of being a comedian. He is also a happily married man with a first born being expected in March of next year. "He just wouldn't stop trying to impress us. Flexing, stretching... We're all straight men, darling, nothing strange going on there. That's when he tried to do a back flip. He... He... I don't know... He slipped in a puddle of water, we tried to prevent him from falling.... But we weren't quick enough. He did something, we heard (the) bone cracking and then he went in." Mister Bieber starts to cry at this point and it does take him several minutes to recompose himself. "We couldn't... Couldn't do.... do anything to save him... His hair went into the drain... And... And..." Mister Bieber wasn't able to give provide anymore of a comment after that, finding it hard to go on further. More as it becomes available. This is Lydia Hoch, for E!RN.

Refresher Malfuction Claims Life. Engineers Stumped!

Posted By: Keller Article: DEC06-8 Reported To: INN Reported On: Luna Reported At: Mon Dec 25 07:30:22 3006 Haise Anchorage, Luna. At 8.30pm, local, medical services were called to attend a rather unusual scene on the IND Silver Swan. A Lunite Doctor known as Rhian Conway, suffered fatal injuries after a refresher malfunctioned. While details at this moment are unclear, it is believed that the unit managed to suck the Lunite Woman through a five inch hole that feeds into the waste tanks in engineering. An independent engineer, Mister Frederick Quilter, was on hand to try and shine light on this rather unusual death. "Usually, your standard refresher unit of the KXL-220 range, only provides minimal suction to quickly and efficiently remove wastes away to the recycling unit which is generally located in engineering," Mister Quilter stated. "To suck a fully grown Lunite into the unit should be impossible and the checks that we ran after this, show that nothing astray occurred... Even if it did, the KXL-220 range of refreshers wouldn't be able to produce the suction required... Well, there hasn't been anything like it. But it is a new system on the market and a possible corner stone for this company." Luna Refreshers and Bidets PTY. LTD. were unable to be contacted at this point in time. Miss Conway's parents have also declined comment, and her previous employers were unable to be contacted. Tony Gladstone for INN.
