Topic: A Special GNN Update
Quick! Come watch my 4D TV. There is breaking news on GNN.
--------------------------
"Now for a breaking update from The Galactic News Network. The most trusted news source according to a poll of our interns. I'm tonights' anchor the lovely Debbie Donuthin and you're watching the midday update. Back to you Michael Mybich."
"What do you mean 'Back to you'? I haven't said anything yet."
"JUST TALK AND MAKE ME A SANDWICH!"
"Yes yes of course my dear. I'm sorry don't hit me... onto tonights' news.
The Galactic Overseers Military has announced that it has settled negotiations with the United Droids Foundation ending the nine week long strike. The UDF calls it a major advancement towards droid equality. Under the new contracts droids will get a 10% increase in pay and will only have to pay 125% of their salaries in union dues. Trixy is live out in the field tonight with more details. Trixy?"
"Thank you Michael. I'm here at the GO Military Headquarters and you can just feel the excitement. Lets talk to one of the combat droids. Excuse me Mr Droid. How does this make you feel?"
"01001001 01010111010010010100110001001100 010011010101010101010010010001000100010101010010 010110010100111101010101 010000010100110001001100!"
"I don't know what you said, but the piston in your hydraulic pump must be fluttering with excitement. As I'm sure our viewers can see they are very happy about this historic advancement in droids' rights. Back to you Michael."
"Thank you for that touching insight Trixie. I'm sure this day is a dream come true for robotic slaves everywhere. In other news the GO has announced new rules of engagement for intra family attacks. Morale loss from attacking inactive or rogue family members will be increased from 10% of regular loss to 35%. This change should take effect tomorrow at 04:00 Galactic Mean Time.
Ms Donuthin would you like to wrap this up?"
"SANDWICH NOW!"
"Yes yes my dear, I'm sorry. That's it for todays news update. Tune in tonight at 10 where we'll have an exclusive interview with a space cat that survived an interplanetary portal accident and now has rainbows shooting out its ass. Until then I'm Michael Herbich for the Galactic News Network. Good day Milky Way."
--------------------------
For those of you who didn't put on your 4D headphones in time the amount of morale lost in intrafamily attacks against inactives and rogues will be increased from 10% of normal loss to 35%. The maximum loss will remain 10 morale. This is the only change. Droid upkeep will not be increasing.
