Zakharov Announces Treaty

-In a newly released statement by the 'people who should know.' It seems Academian Prokhor Zakharov has inked a treaty with the newly founded chaotic techno-greeks the so-called 'Data Angels' and their leader the self-styled 'Head Datajack Sinder Roze' after a bloody battle of two years.
-Despite numerous protests led by the so-called 'Savior of Moon Rock'- Daniel Jakhobs, Zakharov seemed to think that recognizing the renegade Data Angels was the best thing to do. However in a recent press statement he was quoted as saying- "I will no under [any] circumstances tolerate any [other] new break-off groups of humans on Chiron under any circumstances"

Unies Recognise Angel's Freedom!

After a two year struggle, the lovely Datajack Roze has her first diplomatic victory. In an unprecedented move, good old Provost Zak agreed to a peace agreement between Angels and Unies alike. The treaty agrees to end the sporadic violence, and uprisings that have flooded the region since Data DeCentral was founded.
Now a metropolis in the making, and our sister city Roze Function moving forward, the Data Angels are ready to become serious players on the world scene. The only major road block left is CEO Nwabudike "Money is all I want" Morgan and his capatilist cronies. However, with Uncle Zak's support, it looks like the Angels might be here to stay.

Pass it on and share the good newz!

Talks Commence with CEO Nwandbwe Morgan

Our great, powerful and fearless leader, Academian Prokhor Zakharov has been called into a meeting with CEO Morgan concerning Zakharov's recognizing of the 'Data Angels.' Hopefully, the talks can be resolved peacefully and the three nations- Data Angels, University, and Morganite can live in peace.

The 'Savior of Moon Rock' Speaks Out

As the Savior of the battle of Moon Rock, I must say I have to disagree with our leader, Prokhor Zakharov's statement on the status of the Data Angels.

I can vouch for it myself when I say the Data Angels are nothing but a bunch of rogue data-stealing punks who can't fight worth a sh**.

They got lucky for a bit at Moon Rock, but I and my buddies showed them.

So, please people of The University, don't support Zakharov's decision, and DON'T join this rogue scum.

-And so I remain. 'The Savior of Moon Rock'- Daniel Jakhobs

Roze to meet with madman Morgan and the Good Professor


Our beloved and beautiful Sinder Roze has agreed to hold talks with her new friend Provost Zakharov, and former employer CEO Nwabudike Morgan. It is hoped that the talks will bring an end to two years of violence and lead to the eventual free flow of information between all three parties. We'll keep you posted.

Message from the Boss Lady:

It has come to my attention, that the 'Butcher of Moon Rock', self proclaimed hero of the University forces, Daniel Jakhobs, has spoken out against our new found friendship with the University.

My only hope is that this reaches our supporters within the University who have yet to join us, as well as our new found friends there within the general populace. And so Mr. Jakhobs, my message to you is this:

After two years of violence, both sides have done things they regret, and both sides have shown a willingness to forgive and move forward towards a peaceful future.

Let us not forget that you personally wiped out a Data Angel scout team, who were willing to surrender to your admitedly superior forces. If we can move on after that, why can't you?

- Datajack Sinder Roze


Pass it on and share the good newz!

Letter to the Editor
University Sun-Governor
8-40-2118

With the landmark recognition of the Data Angels still being hotly debated, many people are now asking if there will be any other splintering. Given the independent status of each base, it seems likely that the call for autonomy will spread…but will it be heeded?

This is a time of opportunity like none other since the chaos of planetfall. For eighteen years we have struggled, and have began to build up some semblance of security from the harsh land we found ourselves in. It is in this security that the first generation of Chiron adults are beginning to enter the work force, and they, like the rest of us, are now beginning to ask those question we couldn’t afford to ask before. Namely – how should we be ruled?

Already Daniel Jackhob’s seems to be gathering supporters. Besides the renewal of hostilities with the Data Angels, his goals as yet are unclear. Whether or not his dissatisfaction with the Good Academian will lead to a call for independence, one thing is clear, he is certainly developing the infrastructure to do so.

Rumours still abound about the ‘Cybernetic Consciousness’ as well. Even though it has been eight years since Aki Zeta-fives disappearance, along with the majority of her followers, reports still flood the University Sun-Governor weekly of her actions. Stories vary, from that of her capture, and the Good Academian linking her and her followers to a secret Network Node to fuel research, to those of hidden cities to the west or south. Should these cities prove to exist, will we recognise them straight away, or only after years of bloodshed?

I am not personally calling for secession. I believe the Good Academian has worked wonders on this planet we still know so little about. Still, the time has come for healthy debate. Most of us came from democratic societies that would never have tolerated the sort of governance we have now. Reform of the structures of government is what we need, and should they be denied I fear others may call for more drastic measures.

CEO Nwandbwe Morgan Obstinate

As talks drag on, hope for peace between The University and The Morganites dwindle. The honorable CEO Neandbwe Morgan refuses to recognize the so-called "rogue spies."

Our great leader, Zakharov has attempted to convince him that the best stance at this time would be to recognize the Data Angels as a new group "on this great planet called Chiron."

Talks are expected to last at least another month.

Strange Rumblings at the Capital

The 'Savior of Moon Rock' has lead numerous protests against our fair capital building, protesting the recognization of the Data Angels by Academian Prokhor Zakharov.

His protests were put down by only a few police; however the retreating protestors were overheard mentioning such phrases as- "Our day will come; Zakharov will die for this inequity; Jakhob should lead us in an assault..."

More news will follow as this story developes.

-Junior Reporter Emil Isotopes-Mann

Zakharov's New Social Model in the Works

As you can see from our signatures all of the reporters in this building have developed the new double last names proposed by our fair leader earlier this month.

The philosophy behind the last names is so less confusion comes when people with the name; John Smith; meet.

The names work like so:
Jethro Rae Hicks-Stevens marries Emily Fallon Rae-Donalds
they then have a child who is named:
Fallon Gray Donalds-Stevens.

It works much like the Spanish names of the ancient 1900's and 2000's; except that you can choose any last name combination you like. Of course some may say this creates a lot of paperwork, but it is not as much hassle as trying to determine whether it was John J. Smith who wants to register to vote, or John Ja. Smith.

Roze appoints First Cabinet


As our fledgling faction begins to assert itself, Datajack Roze took another step forward today. It was announced today that Roze would be forming an official cabinet of advisors, to provide support in the overwhelming day to day affairs of running a faction. So far public response has been excellent to her decisions. The appointments are as follows:

Lena Katt : Assistant Datajack
Professor David Roberts: Head of Research and Development
Margret Windsor: Head of Finanace.


Morgan Proving More Stubborn Than Expected

It appears that hopes of peace may have been premature. In negotiations with both Provost Zakharov and Morgan, the CEO proved that even repeated longevity treatments can't eliminate immaturity.

At first, refusing to even speak with our beloved Datajack, our good friend Provost Zakharov was able to bring him around and the three parties began to negotiate.

But like a spoiled child, who must always get what he wants, Morgan refused to compromise and continually referred to the Data Angels as "Morganite Rebels". Talks are expected to continue.

Pass this on and hsare the good newz!

The Hunt for Unity Pods continues...

Ever since Captain Ulrik Svensgaard offered prizes for any Unity Pods discovered and its content. Many Captains been crazily hunting for the discovery of these pods. Its becoming like a gold rush.

This whole thing started when Transport Foil Atlas found a Unity Pod near Provision Point which contained a Unity Foil.


Prohibition...

Svensgaard as put a Prohibition to Captains to not contact the bases discovered along the coasts both side of the sea. He decided that our Faction should keep a low profile from other possible Factions until further notice. In the contact of any foreign/unknown ships, they to immediatly contact the nearest Pirate Base for further orders. If for any reason the Captain cannot contact Pirate Base, they are to keep a distant from the foreign ship, but to keep tract of it until your able to contact Base.

This Prohibition will be ENFORCE.

Rumors Disavowed

Rumors that there is a group headed by Aki-Zeta Five, a rogue cyborg that refused Zakharov's friendship, may still surface; however, the people who should know, Zakharovs Chiefs of staff adamantly decry any such existance.

Zakharov himself denyed that they exist; claiming they were eradicated last year when the 1st Scouts clashed with their Colony Pod.

However these reports are sketchy because the 1st Scouts only contained 5 people after that clash who seemed shell shocked.

-Reporter Nic Harley-Starel

Peace Talks Stall

Even though we have made progress to a point where CEO Morgan and Head Datajack Roze can meet with each other without bloodlust in their eyes; the peace talks have stagnated.

All this can promise is more war to come.

-Seinor Editor Lukhas Jhones-Balkan

'The Savior of Moon Rock' is Silent

Strangely enough the protests lead by 'The Savior of Moon Rock' have broken off. Hopefully this can only signal a concession by his part to break off his petty protests and recognize our great leader's infallibility.

Peace Talks Reach Stand-still, but Roze Remains Hopeful

Despite continued setbacks in peace talks with CEO Morgan, our fearless leader remains optimistic that a settlement can be reached.

"CEO Morgan is at the very least, a smart and shrewd business man. There is no profit in this war for either side. Once he mellows out a little, I'm sure we can come to some form of agreement."

Although Roze's words provide a ray of hope, even Provost Zakharov has given up much hope for future peace.

War with Morgan?

Morgan seems to be relenting about his stance that the University should recognize the "Rogue Data Angels." However he claims that if we so much as ship them materials during his "soon to come" war with them, we will be crused by his "Capitalistic war machine."

Zakharov did not seem fazed at these threats and kept his stance.

-Seinor Editor Lukhas Jhones-Balkan

City War Capacity?

The question remains; if we have a war with CEO Morgan of the Morganites, can we win?

Surely we can fight a good defensive war with all of our Plasma Sentinels, but can we fight an offensive war?

On page 13 of this issue, General Boris Knitkov-Tolby examines this issue in depth...

Hope Fades as Morgan Marches

Optimism faded today as Morgan delivered an ultimatum to Provost Zakharov, indicating he was not to interfere with his "soon to come war" with the "Rouge Data Angels". So far, Provsot Zakharov has not released a statement on the issue, but Roze plans to meet with him shortly, with a proposal of a Pact of Brotherhood. If assistance can not be found there, or in the fabled Cybernetic faction, then the future of the Data Angels does indeed look grim.

Datajack Roze informs us that she will try to keep diplomatic channels with CEO Morgan open, in hopes that a resolution still might be found.

Cyborgs Data DeCentral's Only Hope?

With what looks to be an inevitable war, Datajack Roze has brought her search for the fabled renegade Cyborg faction out in the open. It is hoped that if the two smaller forces can unite together, they might be able to stand against the Morgan war machine. It is unknown yet how our new found friends at the University would take to such an alliance, but it is hoped that they could see the benifits of the inevitable free flow of information it would create in the region.

Large exploration program begins!

Today, Colonel Santiago announced the beginning of a large exploration program, aimed to chart the continent and its resources as much as possible and finding possibly other survivors from crash of the Unity.One half of the scout units dedicated to the program are already out there exploring, and the other half will be ready in couple months.
Many drones have been given a new job in production or the new exploration program, and any citizen with officer-degree that volunteers to come into the new program will retain his officer position and will be graciously awarded.


Food resources getting more and more thin

As our good nation grows and prospers, biologists are worried that the huge hydrofarms in the cities cannot sustain us much longer if the population continues to grow.Building more hydrofarms or enlarging the already existing farms will be too expensive and time taking for an option.

Another viable option is at hand, atleast the scientists have agreed on that.Chief of the research departement in Sparta Command, Commander George Corven
eplained to us about that option.
”The idea is to start terraforming the endless lands outside the domes, making them into farms and advanced mining posts, later possibly even into earthlife forests.The problem is that we don´t have the needed tools for that, so we´ll have to research&produce them”.

Our great leader, Colonel Santiago has already authorised for the research department to start solving the problem, and results are promised to come soon.

The New Myths

Back on old earth, we had vampires and werewolves to fill the night, and mischievous elves and sea sprites that sometimes helped the desperate. Today, on a planet alien to the natural folklore and local myths many of us grew up with, we are creating new ‘bogeymen’ and mystical saviours, namely, the popularly named ‘Cybernetic Consciousness’.

There have been other names, from the simple Cyborgs or Biomechanoids, to the more romantic ‘The Algorithmic Sublime’, or nefarious ‘Mind Thieves’. For a long time ‘Silicon Souls’ dominated the tabloids, but the current mood for revisionism has lead to the resurface of many of the speeches of Aki ‘Zeta-Five’, particularly this famous quote
‘…we have reached a new stage of evolution. We can no longer define ourselves in the same terms reserved for biologicals, we have a new level of consciousness…a cybernetic one…’

Today marks the eighth anniversary of the mysterious disappearance of Aki Knutsvik, who was later to be called Aki Zeta-Five. Her rise to fame, and exploits has been the subject of many studies, news specials and popular fiction. The movie Dreams in Mercury, depicting her life, was a box office smash, and is the only non Morganite film to be in the top ten credit-makers list. Her story has entered the realm of folklore, at many times quite distant from the facts.

The fact remains that the zeta-five experiment was flawed. When, after much rumour and speculation, the Good Academian announced confirmation that a research assistant on the Unity had developed the algorithm, which had been successfully grafted onto her, there was much excitement. Professor Knutsvik quickly became a media celebrity and gathered a large following, many choosing to follow her example and graft the cybernetic attachment.

What then followed were public arguments with the Good Academian about issues of administration and social policy, and much speculation about how many of her growing cyborg followers were really ‘volunteers’ or not. When tensions seemed to indicate an inevitable conflict, Professor Knutsvik and her followers just disappeared, or so it seemed.
