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. 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 much pressure on my sources we were able to find out about a recent trip of the Talus Jedi. It seems that they were investigating a weapons origin and in the process discovered a lot. When the jedi and company landed on Tython, they were attacked by a tribe of flesh raiders that had made their home in front of cave. With their inevitable victory over the flesh raiders, they pressed into the caves. Within the caves, they found a lost jedi temple, its age is was undisclosed but it seems it housed many treasures. With their rewards in hand, they all left the temple, and headed back to their respective homes. What all was found in that temple and caves, or what the jedi plan to do with it, is unknown but this reporter is curious about their haul. 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. Recently a ship had been seen entering the system. Many attempts were made to contact the lone ship but to no avail. The ship seemed to be dead on arrival, but that raised the question how the ghost ship came to rest in our space here. With the lack of communication from the ship, a rag tag group including the fiery Twilek whom had a bounty on her head just recently boarded the ship in an effort to make contact with the captain and potentially scavenge in the chance the ship was devoid of life. Unfortunately the ship was in a very rough state, with a few sealed main passages and droids on standby making traveling through the ship very slow and difficult. The group fought their way through the ships automated defenses, and came across something... Big. It took what would prove to be 4 force users to take the beast down, seemingly reacting more to force attacks than anything else the team threw at it. We investigated as far as we could but only came up on dead ends. Little is known about what was found on the ship when it comes to records as they were destroyed either before or during the raid leaving any information that could have been gleaned from the ship, lost. Now the ship floats in space, as private merchants and salvaging teams take it apart and sell off the materials. -Beep Beep Beep-
All screens with holonet news access would suddenly change to a droid standing in front of a camera. “With a heavy heart, I must announce that an attack has been made on our dear leader. A lone assailant breached the government grounds and attacked the president, during a morning inspection.” The droid spoke with a tone that almost sounded sad. “A warrant for the assailants arrest has been issued, a bounty is also in talks.” He continued to speak. Behind the droid, a door opened and out walked the president, clearly alive. The camera and the droid both look into the direction of the door. “I can’t believe my eyes, our dear president is still alive. Sir, How did you survive the ordeal?” The news droid asked of the president. “Well, it is simple. I was never destroyed. Rumors of my destruction are greatly exaggerated. But before I go into detail, I want to make it known, that Salem Ames; a lethan twi’lek, is wanted for attempted murder and we are considering the banning of lightsabers on the planet. Though the most important thing is the warrant and bounty for Salem.” He explained, before leaving once more. “Well you heard it here first! The leader survived and there is a warrant for the arrest of Salem Ames the lethan Twi’lek. Be safe people, and good night.” 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. |
