A garbled message about being attacked and then silence (more…)

A new trend has developed: More and more apartments are decorated with trophies their owners brought back from their dangerous trips through the wastelands. There are a lot of different types of trophies and the owners of them are all very proud to possess them. From Spider to Grim Persecutor, from Roach to WarBot. It seems nothing is too ugly or two strange to nail onto a wall! Perhaps it is just because they are not the usual kind of item you can buy at the shop in your neighbourhood.

Only a few days ago a master hunter has arrived in our fair city. We heard that he will exchange normal trophies for "super trophies" to complete his own collection. He didn’t want to show us some of his trophies, so we’re asking you to find out more about them and contact us for an interview and a photo session. So mail us: neocronicle@neocron.com

As the first contest of this kind was a great success, a second apartment contest was announced a few weeks ago. But insider are telling us stories about a crisis at Diamond Real Estate and that this contest is in fact an attempt to increase the sell rates of furniture and apartments. Of course Diamond Real Estate officially denies these rumours. "There are no profit setbacks at Diamond Real Estates. Speculations about this are just propaganda spread by our competitors from the Dome."

The contest we mentioned was announced here. If you want to take part you’ll have to hurry up, as the deadline for the photographies of your apartments is today! Send it to contest@reakktor.info including up to 6 photos (in jpeg format) and your contact information. Please check the announced mentioned earlier for further information.

Of course we will report exclusively from this contest in which you will be the jury.

All signs pointed towards Military Base. We have been tracking irregular transmission patterns for days through a source that will remained unnamed at this time. At first these signals almost seemed like the normal carrier signals between the CityComms at Military Base and the CityComms within Neocron. This secure line has been around for as long as I can remember, yet several analysts were claiming it was different as of late.

Professor Reynold Ace, a researcher out of N.E.X.T,. disappeared two weeks ago, after voicing his findings to the local media (his whereabouts are still unknown – any information leading to his safe return is subject to a substantial reward). His initial claims of a possible signal “piggybacking” on top of the existing signal were brushed off by most analysts as the link between MB and NC runs off incredible encryption, however, my team here at the Neocronicle decided to look into it a little more… and after Prof. Ace’s disappearance, we were definitely on the right track.

In this week”s Man on the Street survey, I probed our fellow Runners about Tangent’s Weaponry. I have no affiliation with them, so this question, as far as I know, is just wishful thinking.
