Attention citizens of Talus, we, the true voice of the people, are here to expose the atrocities of X3’s oppressive regime. Earlier today we found clear, eye witness evidence of the violence allowed on organics as part of the droids sterilization program, seen here in this horrifying image found on the scene. This was hand delivered to us by one of you, a normal citizen, braving the droids who had secured the site to clean up an ‘industrial accident’. Looks industrial, doesn't it? We don't know the victims names but we do know this holorecorder was found a scant 10 meters away, and covered with blood. X3 has cautioned time and time again about how safe the city is, and how efficient his security forces are, but are they there to protect you and me, or protect him from the things he has released? This reporter remains eager to hear his response to these clear acts of negligence, and warns everyone that the time is soon coming, when we have to stand up for our own rights, our neighbors right, and our children's future.
This is the voice of Free Talus, signing off. Questions are still being asked about the Friday attack on LSN's recording studio by a terrorist organization which left six police droids dead and several injured. Witnesses on the scene reported several explosions during the fire fight, and one key witness described the terrorists as ‘crazy, desperate criminals’. While the investigation is ongoing, Xthree released this press communication to address the situation:
Static would fill the speakers of all the live broadcast screens over Talus, an Image of Jal’see would appear upon the screens. The sound of gunfire and the battle just outside the door was clearly heard. Her voice broke the silence she was holding as she seemingly looked in to the camera, “People of Talus, you have been lied to...“ taking a breath, the sounds of battle continued, “recently the ship that crashed within the city, was met with military force. Those fugitives that apparently attacked the fire fighting vehicle where being fired upon...” another airy breath came, “This Droid that is leading you, is seeking to cover it's intentions. I say no more…” her head shook some, “between random blood tests, and means of stalking organic life-forms... we are being suppressed.” “ It is time, that we the people rose up and took the fight to this artificial life... Stand with me... let's bring the fight to... it's door” The images would be distorted as the woman began to speak, an outside source seemed to be trying to stop the signal's broadcast from an outside location and ultimately failing, the short message already sent.
Good evening everyone, this is Lilli Paige with TNN. We have further information about what happened with the stolen ship from the prison on Denon! According to reports from military, ‘the ship was accurately calculated to enter Talus space and upon doing so, the Talus Military made several attempts to make contact with the rogue ship but received no cooperation from those on board. Unfortunately, the ship had to be shot down as it was posing a threat to the people.’ As the ship crash landed, it first appeared to be heading for the marketplace but suddenly veered off course and ended up ricocheting along several buildings before coming to a stop at the government house’s barricade, jamming their gates. The military thanks the pre-emptive building of the barricade, as the ship could have caused a lot more damage. Once the ship came to a stop, several armed and armored individuals left the ship and barricaded themselves in the medical building taking hostages of everyone inside. Fortunately several individuals responded to the call for aid, and quickly sorted out the hostage situation without any casualties. Though their effort left a lot of damage, but the government promised to fix all damages in a timely manner. Unfortunately while some were there to help the people, it seems others were not. They attacked and destroyed a military fire suppression vehicle. The government has put out a request for any information on those who destroyed the aid vehicle. In other news, the Jane family is pleading with the people for help or information on there disappearance of their daughter Marry. She was last seen heading out of the Kings Ransom, though her comm was disabled and is unable to be tracked.
Please keep an eye out for those who are missing, this concludes this report, once again, I am Lilli Paige With TNN signing out. Good evening everyone, this is Lilli Paige with TNN.
In galactic News, we have received reports that a prison break on the planet Denon has left several guards injured and two dead in a daring escape. The inmates reportedly used makeshift weapons to overpower the guards during a routine transfer, commandeering the vessel they were being transported on. The prison ships navigational computer was damaged in the firefight, however its trajectory was calculated to travel along the Corellian run. Law enforcement officials warn everyone that these convicts are armed and extremely dangerous. They are piloting an unmarked Lambda class ship. Do not try to apprehend the fugitives, and don’t approach if seen. Let law enforcement do their job. In local news, the search for missing persons along Park Ave continues. Still missing are Gok Freely, a 32 year old Twilek and Sandra Kaine, a 25 year old human. Kaine reportedly worked in the entertainment business as a freelance escort and was a local to the area. Friends and coworkers described her as upbeat and happy, leaving authorities baffled by the sudden disappearance. Further, rumors of a ‘mad killer’ loose in the alleyways of Park Ave have not been confirmed by the government, nor have they indicated the two might be related. They have requested people travel in pairs, and report any suspicious activity. Stay tuned for further developments. And that is the local news. This is Lilli Paige with TNN, signing off. It seems that the urgency and force of the droids seeking blood samples has sizzled out. No more droids popping by on your morning caf trip to slow you down! We have yet to get a reply on a reason all of this seems to have come to a halt but it is more than welcomed. During a peaceful afternoon, the sewers were erupted with activity. Creatures came out of the sewers, later described to be rakghouls. The creatures emerged and immediately began attacking civilians and infecting them with the plague. It seemed that they honed in on the market place, where several civilians made a stand against them.
Though the civilians took heavy injuries and possible losses, they fought back valiantly and were able to kill the creatures before anymore victims were hurt or worse. Though based on holo recordings of the attack, it seemed that the charge was being lead by a red twi’lek woman who turned out to be a droid mimic, though her identity is unknown at this time. With the creatures dead and the woman as well, a clean up crew came along to remove the bodies and the broken down ship, and those who were injured were treated and immunized right away. XThree steps into the camera's view, a new body on display wearing a suit like the organics often would. "The period of volunteer blood testing has come to an end, you will be scanned and checked to make sure you have done your test. If you have not, you will." The reporter eyed the screen as they zoomed back out, looking a little bewildered by the incoming video before turning to the camera herself, "Well, you heard it here folks! XThree sounds like he means business. Best get your tests in than deal with the increase in patrols."
After a handful of instances where droid patrols seeking the mandatory blood testing from individuals in the Landing Market were evaded, they moved a section of their medical team to the other side of the information building. With the mandatory blood tests being performed and recorded, ones have become restless and distrustful of the government and their holding on to recorded data involving the samples. One such group, decided to take action, and lead a full on frontal assault on the medical outpost. During the attack a civilian interfered, in what seemed to be an attempt to stop the attack. But alas the attack was successful and the outpost was demolished. Though rumors abound that the attack was an attempt to steal the collected information, the droids have yet to comment. With such news, it is nice to see that local businesses are taking it upon themselves to host events for the city. Recently the King’s Ransom and the new spa, Talus Springs Spa, sponsored an one vs. one fight night, with a hefty sum of prize money. The winner was unnamed but it seems both establishments came out on top with increases in foot traffic, and with the stage still up, they may continue! Missed getting pics during the events again, sorry. -_-
