The EINS intro plays, with our host, Amanda Ward appearing on the screen. "Good Evening people of Earth, we have some very sad sad news to report to you this day. There have been attacks on the TN shipping lanes, unarmed civilian ships have been destroyed all over the solar system, those families have been notified of the tragic loss of life. The names of those lost in the destruction of the ships will be playing at the bottom of your screen. So far this year the ships attacked and destroyed include, 3 ships from NI, 3 as well from ENC, and one ship from the NDR. A survey vessel of the NSC has been lost within the outer asteroids, no word has been heard from this vessel for awhile and no one knows what happened to it. It seems the peaceful exploration and exploitation of space has come to an end. Will these nations and in fact all nations work to protect their interest? Or will these unknown attackers continue their rampage?"
"Secondly, another important topic, the League of Non TN nations has put forth a proposal of joining the Chicxulub senate with the intent of having a voice and power within the TN group. A vote will need to be called from each nation to either support or deny their admission to the senate. The free state of Iraq has also signed on with the league."
"Lastly, it seems that Mexico is being over run by drug cartels, so far the most powerful ones have been overrunning and expelling undesirables and anyone who wishes to resist their rise in power, the government is powerless to stop them and it all appears that it will in fact be overrun as well soon."
"An update on the mineral issues with earth, currently remaining stocks of Neutonium, Vendarite, and Uridium will be depleated within a year or at most 2, shortly followed by Corbomite. The other remaining 3 resources will not last much longer. This is all the news for today, I'm your host Amanda Ward and goodnight."
*corrected the mistake, thought lost was being substituted for destroyed, but it actually ment lost in this case!
