Terra's Crowdsourced Current Event Program
Terra, good evening. Malcom David Piers reporting live from the Wing City Government Center.
I'm here tonight with Munkustrap, who has big dreams for Wing City. Tell us, Munkustrap, what is it that brought your eye to this place of turmoil?
Thanks for having me. well lets see. First off it was Mistos fault. But there was also the clear fact of no private eye businesses other then accountants and lawyers in the city.
So your plans in Wing City are personal interest gone entrepeneural cause?
Something like that yeah. Well sorta.
Please, our viewers are very interested to know.
Well, it was mostly Irn Bru, that's Mt Dew Live Wire in fact. And some green elephants and purple monkeys. Why humans look like purple monkeyes I will never know Actually I blame Misto for that. Anyway. It was mostly a joint decision between myself and my partner who is really good at hiding when the news come around.
I see. As a private eye, surely you already have your fair share of opposition to your endeavors, ha. In what way do you see your business benefitting the city the most?
Better drivers, and better bar service. And yes, more then our fair share of opposition to our opening two days ago. Just this morning the mailman chucked the mail in through the busted front window instead of using the mailbox, which ironically was what busted the front window.
Well, this city is certainly not known for citizens who keep their opinions quiet, ha hah! I digress. Better drivers would mean safer roads for all, and I don't know of many men who would complain about better bar service, hah! When do you plan on putting your plan into action?
Yes why just the other day, the day I arrived in town actually, I was nearly hit by a parked car. The owner of the car was in stitches. He'll be out next tuesday. Well you try going into a bar, ordering a drink, then never getting the drink because the barkee was either hiding in a duracrete bunker or shot dead or slam drunk. But then again it could have been the green elephants that got him too. Unless it was the purple monkeys. Well the plan was to open yesterday, but my partner was out.
When exactly can Wing City expect the debut of the ah, Misto & Munkus Detectives & Magic School? Very unfortunate about those incidents, if that's the daily in Wing City then there sure is room for change, hah!
Yes that's right, Misto and Munkus, Misto is my partner, we're planning on the offical debut to be as soon as my partner is sober and out of rehab. Heh, I believe the car owners exact words were 'Clod kicking sock sucking animal' Or maybe it was 'Sock kicking clod sucking animal', I don't remember. All I remember was clobbering the guy into next friday. And that's just a joke the debut is this coming Tuesday. Tomorrow I believe.
Ha hahhhh, yes! You heard it here folks. Traffic reform is finally here! It's been a wonderful opportunity to be able to interview you, Munkustrap.
... Or maybe it was 'clod socking, kick clocking animal ?' No that's not right... Oh yes, Thanks for having me.
Don't forget, tomorrow opens the Misto & Munkus Detectives & Magic School, right here in Wing City! Tune in for live coverage! I'm Mmmmalcom David Piers, TERRACAST , Over to you.
Hello Terrians, This is Wilhelm Ixme. Earlier today I had the pleasure of talking with Dr. John Barnes, MD and I have video!
----Cuts to video-----
The two are sitting across from each other on easy chairs.
Wilhelm: Hello sir. I'd just like to say again thank you for meeting with me. This story will be made public as soon as we are done and I'm sure the public will love to hear about the work you are doing in the field of prosthetics.
Dr. Barnes: Well itâs a pleasure to be here Wilhelm and might I start by commending the take off of TerraCast. Itâs all Iâm hearing about at the moment, even though TV demands very little of my time...
Q: So tell me about your prosthetics design.
A: My research isnât technically speaking a prosthetic, when you look at the way it works in the body. We have created an alloy aptly name the Barnes Alloy which you can, in essence, teach to adapt to various roles in the body.
Q: I'm sorry did I hear you correctly? You can teach metal?
A: Let me explain. Currently hospitals use various types of hydrocarbons, or plastics, to replace severed limbs mainly on soldiers but also those poor souls who have suffered a severe incident. Now even with these plastics, it is my view that the standards of living for these patients are severely disrupted. The Barnes alloy is introduced over a series of 3 weeks, the first week is the introduction period where we expose the remaining muscle fibers to the alloy and leave remnants of the alloy behind. Using research from antigens, we've formulated the alloy to remember specific qualities of the remaining muscle tissue and to replicate it. In the second week, we expose the limb to more solid amounts of the alloy and growths begin to appear, and by the third week we leave the limb completely exposed to the alloy allowing it to form the limb. Now compared to the plastic prosthetics used today we calculate the mobility of the patient to increase by a staggering 60%, meaning of course the patient may be able to continue an occupation and raising the standards of living.
Q: How did you discover the Barnes alloy?
A: Well, I studied at the academy of dynamic sciences and qualified as an MD a few years later, Iâve always had an interest in carbon chemistry and I tried to compare the various characteristics of the natural world, or antigens, to the characteristics found in metals. Now seeing as no one metal was suited, I had my research team begin to abstract the various components of 7 particular elements to create the Barnes alloy. Unfortunately Iâve been held to secrecy by myself on how and which elements we used but I can assure you they are perfectly safe.
Q: How much would it cost to replace a missing limb?
A: Well Wilhelm, I am not one to brag, but my personal contributions to medicine has made me an incredibly wealthy man, and I believe that the soldiers and people that receive these injuries deserve as much of a life as possible. In light of this, I myself shall be donating the money required to fund this operation for all patients, and even if that's just one life I improve, I believe there is no real price on this earth that I wouldnât pay to see a renewed smile on one of my patients faces.
Q: Well I think that's all I really need to know. Is there anything else you would like to add?
A: Iâd just like to say a big thank you to my friends and colleagues that put the hours in as much if not more as myself, and thank you to TerraCast for enabling me to share new hope for those who may have none

Truly Dr. Barnes is a hero we should all look up to.
This is Claire Wilder for live broadcast from Voice of Terra. We are here to report that a Dragon-like beast and six mysterious figures seem to be destroying one of the finer areas of Wing City. No one knows the exact reason for all this, but the military has been told and people are being evacuated.
We shall be sure to report on if we catch sigh of anything...
Oh wait!
Yes it's official we have clear word from our station that the military is here, and Invicitus also stands, we will keep you all informed, don't change the channel!
This is Claire Wilder again, and this will be most likely my last report, the invaders have brought in more creatures, I am seeing with my own eyes, Sea Serpents, More Dragons and Golems... and you won't believe this but they appears to be kids, I am safe where I am, but unless we get more help the Plaza will be completely decimated. We need more help, send back-up if you are near. I doubt our army can handle this!
We Interrupt Your Programming With An Emergency Weather Report
Citizens of WING CITY are urged to REMAIN INDOORS.
TORNADO WATCH in effect for ALL DISTRICTS.
the familiar reporter introduced herself.The state of the economy on Terra is the talk of the evening, I'm Winne Rhineswurth, with TERRACAST.
As much as 7% of Lumen's holdings appeared on the market at opening bell this Monday morning, listed at whopping price of 15% above market value. This sudden, unexpected activity triggered an overflood of buy orders issued for SOL stock as speculators strangely held this as a sign of good things to come for the industrial giant. Shares are now up 40% in trading and show no signs of leveling off.
Initial investigations show that the shares were sold almost instantaneously, with cash deposits being transferred to an escrow account held by none other than TSANG HOLDINGS, who declined to comment.
inquired the reporter.Could this be a sign of Lumen's return from her mysterious disappearance five years ago? No one knows for sure, but this is the first activity we've seen from the former mogul and board member, who many have speculated dead after the tragedy of her father's untimely death and her bizarre commenteary at her last known press releaes.. The mysterious accident that led to the death during a demonstration of new technology which sparked the Sol mystery five years ago is still taboo in the workplace, sources suggest.
Sol Enterprises CEO Arcus Sol also declined to comment, but was known to be on Terra for a rare extended stay after having been spotted by locals at Gambit's Bar and again entering Sol Tower earlier this week. Stick with us for more information on this unfolding drama.
Hello, Wing City this live report from Gambit's Bar with Clair Wilder your voice for supernatural and weird freaky shit that takes place on Terra. I am here witnessing a group of vampires bursting into a feud, we are advising all to remain away from bar and the police have been informed though doubtful they can do much. One notable thing is the Detente the biggest vampire faction in Terra is involved, considering how they been trying to build bridges, this does not speak well for them. This reporter thinks that something should be done.
This is Claire Wilder for special report live from Gambit's Bar warning everyone to remain away from here and maybe it's time to question can we allow such a powerful faction to exist?
Goodnight, and Goodbye.

greeted Amy Wing, as she sat behind her desk, straightened her papers, looked into the camera broadcasting live across the entire planet and smiled.Hello, and welcome to the six o'clock news,
And our top stories tonight: the citizens of Terra continue to fret over the lack of official response from the government as Coalition forces enter the system. Also, how safe is your water? Join us for a special report as we interview some survival experts and ask them what YOU can do to provide clean water for your family, and how you can keep them safe through the troubling times to follow.
The studio-hand called.And we're back on in three!
Amy said to the man who had just walked into shot, her eyes glaring and only a shade away from red.And welcome back! Here is our first story: coa- hey, you can't be in here this is LIVE!
H-Hey! Security!
People of Terra!
I know how you feel. You are scared; abandoned by the governments who swore to protect you! As foreign powers do battle in our skies and on our land, our so called 'leaders' do nothing to ease our fear, or help us to fight! Have we had even one official response from them? No, we have not! Why? Are they cowards? Do they fear the foreigners and their fleets of ships? Where is our army? Why are they not helping to contain the fighting, to evacuate citizens and restore peace and order in our cities?!
It is because they have left us to our doom. They no longer care for us, they care only for their own survival. They keep quiet so that once it is done, we can go back to following the laws given to them by foreign oppressors!
I have seen the fighting, I have seen the engagements. I have lived through just as much as any one of you, and I know that all hope seems lost. I know that no matter who wins, it feels as though Terra will lose. That we will be thrown once more in the chains of a foreign nation without the strength to stand on our own two feet and deny them of their fool's right to tyranny.
But no... I refuse to let that happen.
The police departments and militias of this once-great planet are doing their absolute best to save as many of you as they can, and I salute them with all my heart for that loyalty. But it is not enough, and that is why I am here today. I seek your safety, people of Terra. I promise to protect you from those who would do you harm, and I will give my life to do so. And so I tell you this:
Scattered across Terra are military installations and underground bunkers designed to protect the people from orbital bombardment and planetary assaults. Find where they are, and go to them! Keep yourselves and your families safe and if you are strong enough to fight, take up arms and prepare to defend them to your last breath! We have no military, so it is time to make our own!
If you are located in or near to Wing City, come to me. Come to my men, who even now have a place you can be safe. Go to Industrial Sector 16; go to Warehouse 3. We have weapons to protect you, food and water for your children and medical supplies for your wounds, but better still, we have a bunker that not even a Reverence can crack. We will offer you the safest place on this planet and that I guarantee you. We will no longer have to rely on others to save us, and once the Aschen are driven from this planet we will no longer have to look to others for 'protection'. However, me.. My men.. We can not do this without your help. We need money, we need supplies, we need men willing to fight with us and risk their lives for a freedom that I KNOW you all want!
I assure you that we will succeed. We will not only take an active part in this conflict to protect ourselves, but we shall be the victors here today. We may not have a fleet, but we have the greatest people this universe will ever know. We have a strength of heart and a passion that can not be matched by anyone!
So I say one last time, fellow Terrans... Come to me, find me. Join me in helping to drive the Aschen from this planet, then once that is done, stand with me as we face those who came to 'aid' us eye-to-eye and say no, you can not oppress us any longer!
We are the the citizen-soldiers, the hoplites of Terra, and we need you.
”We are running a humanitarian aid and evacuation Mission to Terra's surface. If we are fired upon though we will respond with force.
"Hello this Claire Wilder here for special Terracast broadcast. We are outside the headquarters of the group known as Invictius and word is big plans for Terra are being discussed. There even word Detente are involved, this is all rather impressive, but I can transfer the feed so you can all see: Live Broadcast.
"Greetings, this is Terracast and I am Clair Wilder, we have come to a scene of recent terrorist attack, details are still foggy but this is what we been able to piece together. At 3:20 an Auction began in Wing City Town Square, while this was going on a group of twenty or so children were on coming off the bus. At 3:30 pm sharp the bombs went off, the sonuvabitch put C4s in the child's satchels. Immediately helped rushed in, but at 3:45 another bomb went off, this time the school bus. As you can see the scene is carnage, and destruction is everywhere."
Pausing she took a breath, "Mars Corporation, Detente and Descorp helped out in the efforts our city has a lot to owe them. As you are well aware Mars Corp is in fact the defacto owner of our Economy so do something like this, is beyond helpful."
The camera zoomed in to show the various factions and corporation ships helping out.
"This has been Clair Wilder for special bulletin our prays and hopes rest with those who suffered today in this horrific attack. As of now names have not been released..."
