FastForecast 15 September
Ladies and gents, we come to you tonight from, well let's just be honest. We're coming to you from hiding. Some of our reporters broke our cardinal rule of non interference and literally mined new shafts into Kessler and staged a daring raid to escort me out. We're bouncing this broadcast from every comsat in Stanton and off the relays set up for the new Pyro wormhole. As I told the malcontents in Kessler, "You can't stop the wave Mal."
We're now officially fugitives
Now that that bit of information is out there, onto the real news. Across Stanton, two bounty hunters Trickzter and Ferran001, lit up the sky with explosions as their feuds quickly drew other pilots with pronounced bounties being offered for 500,000 for Ferran and a whopping 1 million for Trickzter.
Torpedoes and heavy laser fire lit the cold of space as everyone who could field a ship did in the attempt to collect on these outrageous offerings. After the better part of an hour (non relativistic time), both were sent to Kessler to serve sentences as prescribed according to UEE law.
We are proud to serve you citizens, even in hiding. We are brought to you by StimCaf, when you need to be awake and alert next week, Anvil- nothing takes a beating like an Anvil and listeners like you.

Perhaps your sponsor StimCaf can send you some samples. I did a stint in Kessler myself due to something that was entirely not my fault, but I served my time peacefully anyway. One thing my fellow inmates did agree on though is that StimCaf is great when you're trying to watch out for incoming law enforcement.
Being able to smell the color of their uniforms a mile off is a big help, at least according to one rather odd fellow I spoke to between trips down to the mines. Perhaps you met him while you were there? He was a bit twitchy, hard to miss.
While StimCaf corporate does not know where we are, T&M does have the hottest StimCaf and the cleanest restrooms this side of Stanton. We highly recommend stopping in for one of their 100 oz Quik Mugs.
We met "Twitchy" during our brief stay. He was rather insistent on remaining in the mines, something about "smelling blue and hearing ore." We have done some checking through networks since we have been out and have learned that he's actually been 'out' for over a standard year. He's only there because the old man loves mining and he mines without laser but rather a crude pick of some sort. It's fascinating and we may do a story on him at a later date.
