The EINS intro plays, with our host, Amanda Ward appearing on the screen. "Good Morning people of Earth, there isnt much in the way of news to report this year. Seems the TN countries are consolidating their off world bases and earth holdings. The league of Non TN Nations is also quiet though there have been rumors of pirate acts going on within their shipping lanes."

 "Also it seems that neo italy has been awefully quiet on the world stage with not really anything going on, we cant help but wonder if anyone is truely alive within their borders who actually intend on going anywhere."

"The Mineral issues of earth are still a problem as gallicite is now out. Next mineral to be mined out is uridium with 8000 tons left on earth."

 "At the moment thats really about all thats going on, for those expecting a larger list in 2047, sorry to disappoint."
