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. 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. 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. 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."
*All data-pads on Talus tune in to the local news broadcast. * Good Evening all, Suzie Q here. We have new reports from the Governors office that now all organic beings will be required to have their blood done to receive their citizenship papers here on Talus. Failure to have papers when asked by the police or officials could lead to fine or imprisonment. More to come as this story develops. This is Suzie Q, signing out. *Reported on by Ayeshe Resident.
There was a firefight outside of The King’s Ransom where the Vorlon Company mercenaries had taken to settling plantet-side. The very same mercenaries who have taken over the salvage of what remains of the Direlict ship in our space. From outside, it seemed as if their tower being blown up was the catalyst but interviewing witnesses, that was not the case, in fact, it started out as a standard bar fight before getting out of hand.
In the explosive demolition of the tower, there were two alleged Death Watch Mandalorians killed while a third was killed outside and the last was knocked out by another in bright red Mandalorian armor. The Gamorian fighters were wiped out by the rest of the group, many of whom held lightsabers and left one alive but without arms. CDF was on scene as things were wrapping up, investigations pending. Good afternoon people of Talus, we were there for the conference held by X3-QTR as he gave his opening statement; *a recording of the mentioned statement cuts in* "Hello those in attendance, both physically and those who are watching the live recording and the later recorded message. "With the recent incident, I would like to first state that though I am a droid, I do sympathize with those who have lost their lives. The incident was a tragedy, and we are putting all our efforts into rebuilding and preventing something like this from ever happening again in the future. I understand that many are weary of my kind at the moment, and I can assure you that there is nothing to fear. The signal's affects on us was ended by the brave souls who destroyed the device producing it. "That said, your medical facility has had its upper floors rebuilt and is in the process of being restocked. These floors will remain closed to the public but your local medical facility shouldn't want for anything in the future. And with progress made on other factories, and the income it is generating for the planet, I would like to announce that we are reducing taxes by five percent over the next three years. Meaning that the working being, will keep more of their income. "I will take questions now." *the recording stopped, reporter’s voice continuing* After several rounds of questions, the speakers lifted up and flew at X3-QTR but they seemed to be deflected at the last second and they flew apart, hitting the walls. X-Three stuck around a little longer for more questions before heading back behind the gate, a small squad of droids stepping out to prevent any riots that may raise from the attack. At this time, there was also a disturbance between a few people in the crowd in reaction to the speakers and a ...Ssi ruu? Who had been trying to start a riot among the people. It seemed there were several working against him. We picked up that those involved had been at the scene of the rogue signal’s destruction and seemed to disagree on its source. After the recent issues with droid kind, the citizens are left shaken and distrustful of the droids in power. Claims that the signal was an inside job are one of many conspiracy theories being passed around. Due to the unrest, X-Three has decided to hold a press conference of sorts to give what assurance he can that he was just as much a victim of the strange signal as the others. The date for the conference will be [Friday the 8th at 5 pm SLT] in front of The Boneyard. Presumably in time for the Medical building's repairs to be complete should they keep to their punctual nature. As seen below, they've even made it top priority to get our medical building's structure back up, stable and restocked. Luckily, the main floor wasn't affected, just storage, office and conference floors. So if you've been avoiding the building for any reason, both droid and organic alike are on staff ready to help out.
Lilli Paige here. This has been one wild ride! Jojo, the camera guy who’s been with us this whole time? WELL, we got separated by patrols... and I seem to have sprained my ankle due to... less than brilliant footwear. But I digress. There are THREE floors missing off the Little Star medical building... of which I am currently IN and seriously hoping no more floors fall till I’ve got the energy to get myself out. The barrier has fallen with the device that was on the roof and... a terrifyingly large war droid that showed up moments before I was shoo’ed off. I am of the understanding that both self destructed after taking a beating... The group didn’t exactly stay to fill me in and I am in no shape to go chasing anyone down, so that is all I have to report. Maybe they’ll let us take a break... I hope Jojo is alright. These are some shots of the heroes who came to investigate the distress signal. Taking on a large droid patrol before making their way to the roof of the medical building where they then took out the giant war droid below... Which ended up being rigged to explode... Taking any hope of finding evidence on a source with it. Was it the droids or someone aiming to make them look bad? Only time may tell...
