A vaccine has been found for Hydrexlia after almost sixty years of research. Anyone who has not caught Hydrexlia can be vaccinated now free of charge. But with recent lay offs running rampant in the pharmaceutical industry no one can be sure just how much will be available to the public or to U.H's who are not registered.

An increase in Registration by U.H's has led to the relaxation on some cities curfews. Although as we have been informed the Counties on the bordering states have not seen any changed to their laws due to and outbreak in recent crime by U.H's. We will keep you informed as this story develops.

Our top story!

A recent study has shown that the crime rate in and around the inner-city shopping district has risen recently. Researchers believe that most of these fights are breaking out due to a decline in human and U.H. relations. There are rumors however that the fights may be breaking out due to a rise in Faction and other radical group activity. When questioned, the police had this to say :

"We have no proof that these fights are caused by anything other than a rise in U.H.- Human aggression. We are doing our best to keep the fights under control however we still advise civilians to report all conflicts to the proper authorities immediately and to avoid walking alone at night through the shopping district. Walk your girlfriend home, use the buddy system, just do whatever you can to avoid getting involved in these street-fights."

A New What?

A new species of repto-bird was discovered today by scientists exploring the forests just outside of Weyard city. The repto-bird is said to have bright red plumage and a distinctive call that sounds, of all things, like a cat! The scientists who discovered the repto-bird are calling it by the common name Thristler, as a Latin or scientific name, has yet to be determined. The Thristler has been determined non-venomous and relatively tame, so no doubt those few shops around town who already have one for sale can breathe a sigh of relief.

The Official Statement...

A series of explosions was heard late afternoon yesterday. You may have noticed some noise, or felt vibrations. It seems no cause for alarm, and the official statement given is that there was experimental weapon testing. Nothing more was revealed about the situation or whether it was a successful test or not. The personnel in charge had this to say:

"There is no cause for alarm at this point. Nobody was hurt, and no major damage was caused, citizens can remain at ease knowing there will be no further disturbances."

No further comments were made.

A new and potentially devastating computer virus has appeared lately. The virus, dubbed by the Experts with the name 'Pan' for 'Panic', targets personal and e-mail files and then completely deletes them. Many experts are recommending residents to protect themselves and their information by updating their virus protection software and not opening any e-mails that seem suspicious or unfamiliar. The authorities also assure the public that they are very close to catching those responsible for this terrible online virus and are sure that the web will soon be a safe place to surf in the future.

Riots and Looting Rock the Shopping District

As the world wide power outages continue to spread Riots have been seen throughout the major cities as well as many suburban areas. Looters have begun to cause major chaos within and around the shopping district. Although most of the Riots and looting had been brought under control by HEC forces authorities still encouraging many people to safe guard their valuables and lock their doors at night.

Are There Plans for the Construction of a New Reactor?

Although it's still too early to say there have been reports of plans for a new reactor to be built by the HEC. Board member Barrick Newfame had this to say about the rumors ;
"Although we are still investigating the destruction of the old reactor we are certain that it's termination was at the hands of none other than the infamous terrorist group The Faction. The board of trustees would also like to state that plans for a new and much more powerful reactor have been developed though a date for it's construction has yet to be decided upon. The board members, including myself, would like to remind the public that we have several smaller emergency reactors that are still functional but which only have enough power to steadily supply a small portion of the population. We hope to alleviate this problem very soon and in the meantime HEC will be donating a fair amount of funding to public help programs in order to aide in this dreadful crisis."

More stirring words were never said, and indeed the HEC has benefitted a great deal of money toward such non-profit organizations as, the Red Cross, Help for the Homeless, and the United Emergency Organization. Truly if we are going to make it through this tremendous crisis it will be through the actions of men like Barrick Newfame.

Anniversary of Panderas Thantos' Death

Two years ago today the renown scientist Panderas Thantos died in a horrible and tragic explosion. The great HEC researcher became famous after his discovery of bio-nanotechnology a combination of biological cells and nano-robotic technology. This technology has been used in hospitals since it's creation for a wide variety of life-saving techniques including the rebuilding of organs that are destroyed or injured beyond repair. Dr. Thantos was also known for his amazing works in the fields of UH research and brain wave analysis. Panderas was only 32 when he passed away when an experiment on bio-robotics went awry. In honor of the great scientist's passing his lifelong friend Barrick Newfame, influential member of HEC's board of directors and member of the prestigious Newfame family, had a statue erected in his memory in HEC's main lobby.
