A new fait divers:

• Civil war almost erupts over the question: "How many threads should be topped?"

A possible caption, since there are so many pirate parrot references:

[Corellion]

Oohhhhh, that will REALLY incence them. Great picture!

Does that mean "make angry"?

We could of course always write an article we've developed a new weapon of mass destruction, and include this picture.

[Corellion]

Yes, it does.

This sounds perfect... I can probably work on it later this afternoon if you'd like me to.

[Maniac]

That would be great.

[Drogue]

Like it We could do a "mini adventure" for the topped threads story if you want? If you haven't seen the adverts, they are for the new Mini (made by BMW). Things like "Martians are trying to take over the world. New Mini foils them. The end - it's a mini adventure"

"Debate over topped threads threatens civil war. Poll solves the issue. The end - it's a mini adventure"

From the Office of the Internal and External Affairs Functions:

Greetings once again fellow CyConians. Today, the Office of the Internal Affairs Function, along with the Office of the External Affairs Function, have a ground-breaking announcement to make. Over the years, our faction has been protected from hostile forces by the most powerful weapon at our disposal… the tactical gorilla. For almost 34.97 years, the gorilla has served as our first-line defense against mindworms, spore launchers, and even the occasional Isle of the Deep attack. In all cases, the gorillas exhibited exemplary performance, and kept our populace safe and productive, helping to keep our efficiency at the incredible levels we find it today.


Archives: A Tactical Gorilla

However, in recent years, certain aspects of the tactical gorilla have proven insufficient for new tasks that have been expected of it. Due to the nature of the tactical gorilla’s movement, its effectiveness in offensive assaults is much lower than it should be. The size of the gorillas, accompanied by their relatively slow speeds, while making them superb for defense, proved liabilities when they attacked. In response, in 2132.8792, CyCon researchers set about the task of creating a new weapon, one more suited to offence and to the difficult terrain of Chiron. We would like to announce that this feat has finally been accomplished. We present…


The Combat Parrot

Utilising the latest technological advances, the combat parrots have the ability to perform bombing runs at a range of up to two thousand kilometres, more than 100 times the range of natural parrots. Their cybernetically-enhanced bodies, in addition to increasing their intelligence past that of most full-humans, greatly enhance strength and endurance, allowing them to withstand the shot from a particle-impactor. They can carry an ordinance of up to one tonne, and can be outfitted with many modules to enhance performance in specific fields. So far, combat parrots have begun patrolling our territory, executing search-and-destroy missions against mindworms. The uses of the combat parrot are not entirely military, however, and they can be used for a variety of purposes. Three combat parrots of the highest quality have been sent to CyCon DOSC to help search for dangerous offenders.

The parrots have also been equipped with special software to allow them to interlink at any time with the entire network of tactical gorillas. The result is that precision attacks, involving co-ordination between the aerial and ground forces, are now even easier to plan and execute.

With this new weapon under our control, our faction is now safer than ever.

I like this article... I especially want to see PEACE's reaction.

[Corellion]

All we need is a new caption contest, and maybe an article from the Prime Function, and I believe this issue is ready to ship!

[Maniac]

Great article!!

A small layout question: Would it look better if the pictures were centered?

All we need is a new caption contest

We could still use the parrot picture. A good way to get reactions about the article.

and maybe an article from the Prime Function, and I believe this issue is ready to ship!

Well the previous issue has seven articles. Currently we have five. If Drogue can find the time to finish that DBTSverse Portal, I think we should wait a little. If not, go to press I assume!

Yes. Thank you again.

Good idea... let's go with it.

Sounds great! Hoorah!

By using the < center > tags, without spaces between center and the < and >s.
I added them myself, then you can see easier how it's done in practice. (I will remove the changes if you want of course)

Edit: I also edited the large binary message layout to see what it looks like. What do you think?
