         Enforcement took a major step backwards in the Federation and had to balance the old rules with the new. Technology tries to answer this problem.
         An AI system that was like Sybil but not like it in terms of giving someone sole control had to be made. Computer Expert Harold Fitch gave the answer.
         Yui, the name for the AI system created, is actually based off an old system Mr. Fitch created before. This old machine used to report all sorts of
         crime but only gave the Osean Government at the time social security numbers relevent to terrorism, something the Osean government at the time had
         an obsession with. The machine took itself offline when the Federation was formed and implimented Sybil a few years later. Yui is said to be the upgrade
         of the Machine and Sybil. It takes into account not only psychological health, but also context of the situation and determines with branch of government
         should handle the situation. If she sees the situation change, she adjusts to appropriate parameters. Here is the kicker, she can, in some sense, feel. She is aware.

         helpful. Like an individual. She has the facts but wants to see it from both the logical and emotional side of things. When she lacks the appropriate
         amount of emotion needed, she looks to the ones that are living in the world to handle the situation. Says Federation President Palutena Risu, \"This is a

All Vegetable Planetarians currently serving aboard NanoTrasen vessels are to be packaged and shipped back to their homeworld. It is unknown at this time how this will effect the Vegetable Planet economy, but NanoTrasen stock value is already skyrocketing due to the increase in productivity.

While it is no news that NT run stations tend to be hot spots for crime something INN has reported on several times, the reports coming from the v.o.r.e station are disturbing at the least. Our corespondent was sent on station for what was to be a three day trip, though they where cloned after three hours, with no memory of the event recordings indicate they where eaten against their will by a security guard for and we quote "disturbing the peace, and breaking into medical".

NT has made no follow up comments on the situation, informing INN that they where idiots for sending an untrained reporter into one of their most effective, cleanest, and safest stations. They then proceeded to offer us a choice take a 5 mill credit bribe or get nuked.

Needs work, but I like the direction you're going with it. A reporter sent to the station who gets discredited by Nanotrasen. And possibly eaten. NT blames it on an industrial accident or something.

yeah need to change the reporter thing, as INN seems to be a CNN clone, need to make something like a vice clone. Also my spelling and grammar is shit sorry.

Yeah idea is basicly what you said was going to have it be a 3 story thing.


story one: the one above

story two: a worker on station bribed to tell all, results in some of the stations preds being outed but in a way that no names are given and for most station commons is a laugh.


story three: a report that the station from above two was "destroyed in a power overload" though report states that the radiation level around the destroyed crater is similar to that of 10 nukes being fired at it.
I think to much.

... I like the notion of a reporter from a rival publication trying to follow up this "cannibalism scandal" by getting a clone scan off-station and heading to the station with a wire.

Recently, the tabloid press published a shocking report of a Nanotrasen station in the Virgo sector playing host to a cannibalistic community wherein crew and visitors alike live in under the constant spectre of being DEVOURED by other personnel aboard the station at any moment - with security and corporate overseers turning a blind eye. To establish the truth of this claim, undercover reporter Teresa Nipp risked life and limb and undertook a visit to the station - after having a genetic backup carried out prior to her departure.

After a long period of being largely ignored by everyone on board the station, Teresa took matters further and approached a likely-looking member of the crew in order to actively INVITE them to have her for dinner. The unnamed crewmember responded to our undercover investigator's advances by telling them `bugger off, I's busy` and resuming their work. Further attempts to engage the crew proved similarly fruitless, with one crewmember stating categorically that they weren't a predator, and another threatening to call security if our reporter didn't cease their attempts to get eaten by them - taking the attempt as a form of harassment.

Our reporter is naturally very relieved to report that these claims are, in all likelihood, simply sensationalist fiction.

got a few ideas

clone war line of events
[+]
basic idea: players get news on a breach of security in the form of pirates getting clone copies of NT command personel, though public news reports turns to fighting on the paper waves.

centcom_raid

report: a few nights a go an unkown force raided nanotransans(NT) central command banks, these banks held the DNA record for all NT central command high ranking personel this means every captain with exceptions of thoughs who opted out, now has to worry about clones of them being illigally sent through the DNA black market, already we are seeing the repercussions of this in a snuff films which shows a clone of each of the NT heads being hunted down by a mob of none human creatures ranging from tagaran to vox, showing their demise in grewsom detail. Do to legal restraints we can not name the video or give links but if you email the vace news HQ we will send copies

reporter: Vace news, reporter sentra eatum
channel name: vace news




clones attack

report: breaking news, tonight we are warning all personel to be aware of [captain name] as clones of them have started appearing in pirate hands to breach security to prominate Nano transan facilities. We have reports of them attacking several stations in mass including images from a military craft which was over run by nude [captain name]'s fitted with nothing but bomb suits. Untill the situation is ended we have adviced the real [captain name] to stay on V.O.R.E, though reports are coming in that it may be attacked.

reporter: central command



DNA_recovery

report: earlier today Vace news reported on a loss of central command DNA files, we at INN would like to inform the public that vace news is nothing but hippies and mentally challenged people who know nothing of actual news. This being said we followed up on their claim and found that no such raid existed. As such no member of hte public should have to worry about being attacked by clones of their commanding officers. Though it should be noted that NT does not keep long term DNA info of their officers, never has and never will.

channel name: INN


Vace_rebutle

report: we just got news of INN debunking our claims while never acctualy mentioning hte problem and saying it doesn't exist. So in this data transmission we have a picture of several of a captain attacking a NT trade post. as well as the link to VVV.centcomdies.IQM where the video of the clone captains being murdered is held.

We would like to remind you that INN is a tool and only does what NT says. let the people talk.


reporter: same as last vace news.
channel name: vace news




CUE BALLS (yeah to much detail, needs refined)

round_time //
message // Today Vace news sent me out to recon and get the scoop on a anarchist group called the cue balls. This group is becoming very much a threat in vergo prime, as they attack with out warning and seem to always be on some sort of drug. Well I am here to give the facts and show rare in sight on the cue balls. For today we go inside the mines of the universes largest anarchy gage. On the outside the Cue balls are just a large group of bald crazies who at a moments notice will attack any and every station be it military or civilian in the vergo area, though they rarely attack in groups and generally pass into a coma during the attacks. So I set out to find how they tick on the inside, and this is my report.

Day 1: I infiltrated the group pretty hard to do being a mouse girl but once in staying hidden turned out to not be needed, IT seems that only the gaurds of the cue balls are even lucid. I was able to walk into one of their members with out them even noticing. I had to find out why, and it didn't take long, IT seems inside the Cue Ball's HQ there are the large vats of a strange green liquid, upon inspection it seems to be made of several drugs mixed in a vat with of all things a dead xenomorph drone, where or how they got the drones is anyones guess, and so I set out to learn about this strange drink.

Day 5: I finally got one of the Cue balls lucid enough to talk about their concoction of a drink in the vats, the girl was delirious to say the least. But from her I learned the drink was called griffen and it is what the cue balls lived for, apparently the unique mixture of drinks, drugs, and acids in it serves as a quick and quite a high that increases the intelligence of whoever drinks it, though the more you drink the less stable your mind becomes until you are hooked. Apparently the Cue balls will drink Griffen once or twice an hour increasing their IQ's substansially, though at a cost apparently drinking enough to get you drunk on the stuff results in what they call the greafs, a neralogical disorder which causes one to seek out and destroy the closest well anything. most the cue balls do not hit this point but thoughs that do are the ones responsible for the attacks in the vergo sector.... I, I need time to process this.

Day 31: It has been one month sense I have entered the Cue balls HQ, and today I must send my files to vace, I have told them to leave out most of them, only keep a few days in. To warn the public that the Cue balls may start selling their griffen to the public, I, I can't leave the gaurds will not let me say I must drink of the griffen to leave but I know they will not let me drink untill I become one of the poor bastards to suffer from the greafs. I send this on a private line.
