| “Hello, and welcome once again to the Xanu News Network! As always I am your host, Mariska van den Soeterik. Today’s featured stories include the state of emergency in the northern Solarian Alliance, the Republic of Biesel’s increasing militarization, and our very own Liao Qi’s continued reporting from San Colette. We go now to Liao, who’s currently located in an area of San Colette commonly known as Little New Hai Phong.”
| |
| | |
| The camera switches to Qi, who is currently standing in front of a nondescript apartment building with Solarian script in the front. A reader of Solarian Common might be able to read the script as it consists of various ads for New Hai Phongese restaurants. Qi nods and begins speaking.
| |
| | |
| “Thank you Mariska. As you can see I’m currently standing in front of an apartment building in a district of Montblanc known as Little New Hai Phong. This area was settled by workers who immigrated here from New Hai Phong during the construction of San Colette’s defenses. We interviewed its current councilperson to find out how life has been in this area since the Collapse, and—“
| |
| | |
| The broadcast flickers and distorts then appears to cut out, revealing a moderately confused den Soeterik behind her desk. She takes a moment to compose herself — this appears to be unscripted.
| |
| | |
| “Well, ah, our apologies for this interruption. We’ll attempt to get Liao back on the network momentarily! For now, please enjoy these words from XNS’ sponsors!”
| |
| | |
| den Soeterik smiles and nods, then waves as the broadcast switches to an ad for an all-in-one Einstein-produced tool set.

| =BREAKING: BROADCAST RE-ESTABLISHED; STATE OF WAR BETWEEN MIDDLE RING SHIELD PACT AND SOLARIAN RESTORATION FRONT=

| |
| | |
| The camera flicks back on to reveal a grave looking den Soeterik.
| |
| | |
| “Grave news have just reached us from the Solarian Alliance which has confirmed that a state of war now exists between the ex-Solarian statelets known as the Middle Ring Shield Pact and the Solarian Restoration Front. We go now to Liao Qi, our reporter in San Colette.”
| |
| | |
| The camera switches to a somewhat shakier view of Qi than it had previously held. Qi is saying something inaudible to de la Fuente, who appears to be fairly upset with the situation. After a moment somebody turns the audio on halfway through de la Fuentes saying something. A loudspeaker can be faintly heard in the background and seems to be broadcasting an emergency alert.
| |
| | |
| “—surd that you want to come with me!”
| |
| | |
| “Look,” Qi responds. “Don’t you want your story to be told? We’re the only foreign reporters here, Leticia!” He then looks over at the camera, realizes it’s on and begins speaking to it without losing a beat. “Mariska, as you can see San Colette is already reacting to the state of war. Just a moment ago we heard emergency broadcasts begin in Little New Hai Phong,” he points up and to his right at something out of frame. The camera follows, revealing the loudspeaker, “which are advising residents of a state of emergency which has just begun.”
| |
| | |
| “Will you be able to stay safe?”
| |
| | |
| Qi nods. “Yes, we should be. We’re planning to continue reporting to the best of our abilities, as XNS always does.” He looks over at de la Fuente, who does not look happy. This is a fairly normal expression for her, all things considered. “I’m working with the Civil Guard to see if we can cover their actions.”
| |
| | |
| “You are not going to the front line!” de la Fuente responds. “You’re to remain here where it’s safe, reporter.”
| |
| | |
| “How are we meant to cover your story if we’re stuck here, Leticia? San Colette’s story has to be told by someone, and we’re the only ones here!”
| |
| | |
| de la Fuentes looks at the camera out of the corner of her eye, then focuses on Qi. Her expression of neutral disapproval holds something else, but it’s hard to read. “We’ll discuss it later. That’s all I’ll say while you’ve got the camera rolling.”
| |
| | |
| Qi, looking totally undisturbed by this, turns back to the camera. “As you can see, we’ll attempt to cover it to the best of our abilities.”
| |
| | |
| The camera shifts back to den Soeterik, who nods. “We’ll let you get to it, then. Stay safe, Liao.”
| |
| | |
| “Always.”

| ''After the opening XNS jingle the camera pans to two individuals, one standing on either side of a screen displaying the Northern Wildlands. The male individual, standing on the right of the screen, begins speaking first.''
| |
| | |
| “Good evening everyone, and welcome to this newly-established segment, the XNS Strategic Analysis Unit. I’m Ajit Gopal, one of your hosts.”
| |
| | |
| ''The female figure replies in tandem,'' “And I’m Delphine Deschamps. Our objective is to bring you live, objective and reliable updates on the situation in the Solarian Wildlands. We have also established donation numbers for relief efforts, which you will be able to see at the bottom of your screen.”
| |
| | |
| “Right,” ''Gopal replies,'' “Let’s take a look at the current situation, shall we?”
| |
| | |
| ''The holographic screen behind them changes to show a fairly decent situation for the Pact. They’ve lost a good amount of ground in the initial days, but their forces are not spread thin, and the Front’s advance has now slowed down considerably. Counting the number of fleets, the Front has almost an overwhelming numerical advantage. To the more perceptive viewers, the only thing keeping the Pact’s defense line in place is the amount of Pact-aligned FSF vessels, marked in a different color.''
| |
| | |
| “The Front currently seems to have the upper hand,” ''Delphine says,'' “As we can see, the Pact’s line has now stabilized from the Aria system to the Rubicon system. The Free Solarian Fleets auxiliaries here in yellow are truly the Pact’s lifeline - if they were not here, it’s likely that their defense would have already fallen apart.”
| |
| | |
| “Exactly,” ''Gopal agrees,'' “One important thing to note is that the Free Solarian Fleets are actually more mobile than we calculated. We adjusted for an expected lack of phoron for their drives, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Our intelligence has reported that the Caravaggio - one of their cruisers - has actually managed to bring back a fair amount of fuel.”
| |
| | |
| “That’s interesting,” ''Delphine says, hemming,'' “So, now that they can actually maneuver around the enemy, they’ve switched to a more mobile defense overall. We’ll have to see how long their supplies last, though. They may have secured phoron, but it must be a small and finite supply.”
| |
| | |
| “Indeed,” ''Gopal confirms,'' “The short-term situation is looking well for the Pact, but the long–term situation is worrying. The numerical advantage is decisively on the Front’s side, and so is the materiel advantage. How will the Pact fare from now? Only time will tell. We thank our viewers for their cooperation, and we implore them to donate to relief efforts. Now, onto the next segment by Steve Beckenbauer, Kitchen Fantasies…”

| ''The camera flicks back from its commercial break to reveal a graying man in a black suit standing behind a desk marked with '''“ROHAN MAGAR - ALL-XANU REPUBLIC”''' in both Freespeak and Sol Common.''
| |
| | |
| “This special meeting on the ongoing Wildlands crisis is hereby called to order. Gadpathur’s representative has the right to begin.”
| |
| | |
| ''The camera switches to a harsh-looking man in the uniform of a Gadpathurian cadre leader. His desk is marked with '''“PRAVIN THAMAN - GADPATHUR.”'''''
| |
| | |
| “Thank you, Representative Magar,” ''Thaman stands, placing his glasses on to read from a leaflet of paper in his hands.'' “For centuries we Gadpathurians have struggled against the Solarian menace which destroyed our world. We have bled, fought, and died to ensure our Coalition shall never again fall to the Solarian menace, which now stands batterer but not beaten. I ask you now, my comrades-in-arms, to support a strong measure against the Solarian menace! I ask you to support an intervention in these so-called Wildlands to forever break Solarian power there!”
| |
| | |
| ''As Thaman sits, a murmur goes through the crowd. Magar narrows his eyes, seemingly quite displeased with something.''
| |
| | |
| “Representative Thaman. In my capacity as chair of this committee I do not appreciate extreme deviations from prepared remarks. What is your aim with this suggestion beyond carrying on a planetary grudge?”
| |
| | |
| “It will allow us to keep our former Solarians secure through the creation of a demilitarized zone, Representative Magar.”
| |
| | |
| “With all due respect Representative Thaman, this zone would bring us into direct conflict with the Alliance if it opts to retake these territories.”
| |
| | |
| “Let them come,” ''Thaman quickly responds, staring down Magar.'' “We have beaten them before and we shall do so again.”
| |
| | |
| “Your suggestion is as absurd as ever. In my capacity as chairman I call the committee to order to vote on this matter. Konyang?”
| |
| | |
| ''The camera pans to two Konyangers: one of a fairly old man in a suit and the other is a middle aged woman wearing the uniform of a Solarian Navy flag officer, though the Solarian symbology has been replaced with Konyanger equivalents. The man, identified as '''“KWAN SEOK - KONYANG,”''' and the woman, identified as '''“CMDR. MI-HI GIM, KAF,”''' holds a brief whispered conversation before the man speaks briefly.''
| |
| | |
| “Konyang does not support the suggestion.”
| |
| | |
| “Just what we should have expected from a former Solarian ambassador!” ''Thaman sneers, looking at the older man.'' “Commander Gim, surely you must see the reason for my suggestion, having lived repressed by Sol for some fourteen years?”
| |
| | |
| ''Gim looks at Thaman, appearing very irate.'' “I have nothing to say to you.”
| |
| | |
| “Another such outburst and I’ll have you expelled for the rest of this meeting, Thaman!” ''Magar shouts, exasperated.'' “To return to voting on your proposal, I assume you are in support of it?”
| |
| | |
| “Gadpathur will always support standing against the Solarian menace.”
| |
| | |
| “Right. The United Syndicates of Himeo.”
| |
| | |
| ''An older, and quite pale, man whose desk identifies him as '''“ABELARD DIRKSEN - HIMEO”''' rises to speak.''
| |
| | |
| “The United Syndicates abstain.”
| |
| | |
| “Right. Assunzione?”
| |
| | |
| ''A middle-aged woman wearing the garb of a Luceian clergywoman rises to speak from a desk labeling her as '''“TEOFILA VIOLANTE - ASSUNZIONE.”'''''
| |
| | |
| “The Republic of Assunzione calls upon our principle of neutrality and abstains.”
| |
| | |
| ''Magar scratches something down on a piece of paper and rises to speak.''
| |
| | |
| “The All-Xanu Republic votes against this proposal. The final scoring is two against, one for, and two abstentions. The proposal fails to pass the committee and this meeting is hereby adjourned!”
| |
| | |
| ''Magar bangs a gavel next to him as the audio cuts and the camera fades out, but not before Thaman can be seen riding to his feet and yelling at somebody out of frame, pointing at them all the while.''
