Ahh, CEO Rubin, is this another mis-information ploy just like the one prior to your pulling off your well played Virtual Reality coup?
I had my eye on that SP for myself.

Master Yoda, I'm simply following you advise to pop boom. Isn't that what you recommended?

NW: I was only joking about the pop-boom. It's not as important as commonly believed.

Chip: Are you trying to make me look bad? I'm green, I'm short, and I'm 400 years old-- how can anything your reporters say make it worse?

[Rubin]

President Net Warrior: I am not guilty of providing mis-information! Lord Chip and Master Yoda can confirm this (and if they say otherwise--they'll be mis-informing you). Know, that the Virtual Dimension has always been an integrated part of the Rubinic society; of course, having had your eye on that project you are free to look--but do NOT touch. Why don't you, the Great Gardener of Chiron, terraform your entire territory into your own virtual reality?

2160 passed to Net Warrior.

Turn to Yoda. But I thought I'd posted that at 7:30 Apolyton time.

Message to Yoda: the truth hurts.

GNN, of course, has a sacred duty not to misinform anyone ... except when we're really, really sure that verification is impossible.

As for the reports on a trouble-making Sven... I have a tech that puts fear in Sven's heart. He begged for truce a few years back when my artillery prototype rolled off the line. Anyone care to trade for my Polymorphic Software?

.....war news to follow

2163 to the University. Congratulations to Yoda on Polymorphic Software and to NetWarrior for Point Blood.

War news: Thousands flee as Unity Forces liberate POINT BLOOD. “The sea lanes east of the port city, INLET, had to be made safe”, remarked Admiral Hornblower, “and it was my job to see to it”. Captain Svengaard demanded the return of the base and vowed to eradicate the Unity Forces when he was refused. “It would be most inefficient” observed President Net Warrior, “to take the base only to give it back”. “Serves them right”, said a citizen of INLET, “they threatened us so we taught ‘em a lesson”.

News on the home front: There was a fungal “explosion” which destroyed a forest along the HUB River. This was followed by a mind worm attack near by, the first such attack in years. Ecologists say that the efficiency inherent in a “Green” economy would pre-empt further outbreaks. “As data on Centauri Empathy is yet unavailable to us”, President Net Warrior said, “we must reach out to others here on Chiron for assistance”.
