: Alright, alright. We'll set up a dummy charity that will allegedly be for protecting the environment, but will secretly funnel a portion of the funding to the "Let's-keep-this-secret-between-us, Okay HongHu."
See, everyone wins.

I think we should stick with Morgasmic, lets go for the tabloid appeal
How about with regard to Impalers four stage idea, we have an interview with CEO Morgan this issue, talking about teh landing, and explaining his vision for the future (Something about international markets or something vaguely economical yet obviously pointless or weak.)
We then have Impalers second article above, where Morgan is in the dock for embezzlement. However, everyone and his Mum knows that really it's just a cover to get out the weak CEO. He's got no vision, no drive, and seems to be content to sit in his harem and smoke XenoWeed™ (A ScorpiCorp® Product! Contact your local dealer for details of the latest special offers NOW!).
Part three is the actual trial. It's a show trial, Morgan presents a water tight case, and the prosecution presents large bribes (Although this has never been proven, and anyone who has hinted at it in the public has disapeared mysteriously). Morgans life as CEO is in the balance, and we leave it with him about to recieve the verdict.
Part four (of four) sees Morgan making a deal with the prosecution. He is exhonerated of all charges, yet forced to stand down as CEO. The Company (read Faction) keeps his name, but all his plans are out of the window. Morgan's successor, (Current CEO at the time), commented "After consulting with his advisors, Mr Morgan felt that his time as CEO was over. He'd achieved all his aims, and has now retired in luxury. The company is facing some minor restructuring, but will emerge stronger than ever. That is all."
Bit of a long story perhaps, but I think we could do quite a few issues in short order, especially if we make them short(ish) issues. Comments?
Sounds like a nice outline their Chaunk. I think we should bundle the Landing of the Pod, The IPO (each of the members invests in the Company) and the signs of Morgans weakness into our next isshue.
Oh and by the way did yall like the way I worked thouse 10 missing Credits into the story, though everyone would get a kick out of that.
Companions the creator seeks, not corpses, not herds and believers. Fellow creators, the creator seeks - those who write new values on new tablets. Companions the creator seeks, and fellow harvesters; for everything about him is ripe for the harvest. - Thus spoke Zarathustra, Fredrick Nietzsche
On an even more thorough segue, wouldn't a 'Department of Public Relations & Marketing' be more thematically appropriate for the Morganite (Morgasmic) way? After all, we know that the services that we provide are superior to those offered by the misguided splinter groups who clutter the surface of Chiron, all we need to do is let their citizens know about them. Propaganda is only used by despots who want to oppress and decieve their people, and we offer freedom and luxury to all and sundry.
Like a well oiled machine, the legal department in Morgan Industries sprang into action this last week amid uproar. Rumours had started, and were spreading like wildfire - the Mod's, the producers of the so called Pholus Lunar Newscast had started a campaign of viscious lies and misrepresentation.
The headline made their stance clear "Outrage Over Atrocities Commited by the Morganites". This reporter throws scorn in the direction of the Phalic Loony Newscast that, amidst their campaign of racial hatred, they couldn't even be bothered to get our Faction name correct. But thats by the by.
And official Morgasmic Represetitive made the following statement. "Originally the PLN stated they were neutral in all afairs. We now see they lied. In fact, their newspaper is nothing more than a rag. Our lawyers have issued a writ to the papers editors and the court case is scheduled for two weeks time.
"The Morgasmic Company has at no time had any part in any of these "atrocities" they claim we carried out. The protocol that Kody the Narrator of the Third Alpha Centraui Democracy Game, Senior Consultant on Universe Mechanics of Morgan Industries, Minister in charge of making sure the pins stay in the right spots on the War Map for the Spartans, Joint Peanut publisher for the Data Angels, Senior Nudist Runner Through Trees and Executive Preserve of Rosbuds of the Gaians, Spam Puppy - editor of the Pholus Lunar Newscast, and Janitor of Honghu's Washroom cites has not been broken in any way. In fact, as all the CMN's are aware, we Morgasmics have not roleplayed at all, save for a little bit last week from only two of our members, who are both now in training to rid them of such roleplaying tendencies.
"We will not rest till the truth is out, and Morgan Industries is once again free of the slur that PLN has given us."
We at MorganLink news can only stand and aplaud as our leaders refuse to take this lying down. Let the lawsuit begin!
I'm not so sure about that suggestion for Morgan's ousting. It pretty much clearly makes us out to be the bad guys, and that's not what we want, is it?
I like the Lawyer article. Are we sure about Morgasmic?
