Brimstone Forest, Northern Aragão, Thyostega "Mr Torres, you sure this is the right way?" Samuel asked his guide for the fifth time. "It seems like we've been going nowhere for ... Ouch! Stupid rocks!". "Yes," he replied patiently. "Now keep quiet, I'm trying to concentrate." "Why couldn't Fernando take this so called genius through here," he thought as they crossed a shallow river. "What does he think he'll find? Aliens or something?"
They come to a steep mountain cliff. "You want to see Stoneface Creek? You'll have to climb." He turned towards the Volirumian astrologist and couldn't stop himself from laughing, for his face had turned as white as snow. "What is it, Mr Crabby? Afraid of heights? I thought you loved the stars" he couldn't stop grinning The astrologist frowned. "First of all, that's Mr Beaumont to you, second, I'm a Scorpio and thirdly, I don't like breaking my neck." he replied sternly, only causing his guide to laugh even more. "Don't worry, Mr Scorpion. If you fall then my name isn't Alexander Torres," he said as he started unpacking the climbing gear. "Now, hold still while I put on your climbing gear."
Halfway up, Alexander felt a strong tug on the rope, nearly causing him to lose his grip. Can't that idiot figure it out for himself that I might lose my balance if he does that. "Sorry, lost my footing. Guess you'll have to carry me up" the astrologer said, although Alexander could tell from his tone it was on purpose. "Fine, just don't swing about then," Alexander gained a mischievous look. "And don't look down," he said. He grinned as he heard a frightened yelp.
"Now, Mr Scorpion, we're only about a kilometer away before we reach Stoneface Creek," he said as he hauled Beaumont up. "So you don't have to worry your little head anymore," "Thank you, Mr Torres, I certainly couldn't have done it without you," the scientist said as Alexander turn his back on him, not noticing the needle. Before he knew it, Alexander fell to the ground semi-conscious.
"That dosage may not have been strong enough, but at least you can't move" Samuel said as he smashed Alexander's tracker. "Have a nice fall" was the last thing he heard before before being pushed off the cliff. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hwange National Park to Reopen
Hwange National Park, Rhodesland's largest national park, has reopened after many years of rebuilding habitats and repopulating the local wildlife. The Third World War caused much of the old park to be destroyed and ever since the nation's return to the international community, it has been under reconstruction.
However, the day has finally come when the National Park reopens to the public for all to see the wild animals native to the region of South-West Africa. Many animals have been shipped in from neighbouring areas to help kickstart the repopulation initiative, rather than relying on the lower numbers.
The move is expected to bring in tourism from across the world and some hope for off-world guests as well, though that remains to be seen if they will take an interest in the park. Nevertheless, it will hopefully bring in more tourism to the small nation.

To all the great people of Ventus Prime, as you’re all aware now, the beginning of the new year started with a plot against my life. The person responsible was no human, it was an abomination that could change its form and disguise itself as any one of us. This is one of the many kinds of horrors the Kunkengan military has produced.
The attempt on my life is a clear indication that the nation of Kunkenga feels threatened by us, perhaps even fears us. But mark my words, the Kunkengan government will be held responsible for their actions. It is Ventus Prime’s turn to take the offensive.
Shortly after the attack, a small task force was dispatched to Earth. The Ventuan Navy targeted and destroyed major military installments inside the nation of Kunkenga. Whether our actions are viewed favorably or unfavorably matters little. Kunkenga will face the full power of the Ventuan Navy and whether they decide to cower or fight back is up to them.
As of now, additional ships will be added to each system under Republic control; Ventuan forces will now be working alongside the Kapteyn Defense Force to ensure security against the threat of attack.
I realize these are dark times. We are still reeling from the war with New sistonia, as well as the death of Chancellor Shadow, Brno promise as your current Chancellor that at the end of all this, Ventus Prime will stand taller and stronger than ever before, because there is no challenge we can’t overcome.
Long live the Republic.
