Bad Apple
in Omni-Pol
Posted by Kirrana
Tue, 26 March 2002 12:00:00 Universal

The Rompa Bar seems to be the center of a crime wave, on Saturday
while walking past the bar I noticed a full scale fight taking
place. What seemed like another act of crime turned out to have
more of an interesting tale behind it.
Sadly the full details are no
known to me even now the little details I could bring together
are as such. It appears an Officer in Omni-Pol one Mr Albessar whose
background has been suspect accorded to many former Omni-Pol
officers. On the day in question he took the sister of Corporal
Dhron kidnap, for what reason we are not clear. However Dhron
quickly noticed his sister was missing, running out onto the
street to try and stop Albessar. Luckily for Dhron and his
sister a number of local employees where able to help him. The
chase took them close to the Rompa Bar where Albessar was cornered
but rather than give up he went down fighting.
While many of the employees
went down fighting bravely against the rouge officer they soon
overpowered him. The story has a happy ending as Dhrons sister
was returned to their home safe and sound. However no sight or
sound has been heard form Albessar and Omni-Pol are very keen to
talk with him.
Was this really the act of one
bad apple or yet another Dust Brigade action. What of Omni-Pol
already under pressure with recent events this must be a bitter
blow to find their own ranks are turning against them ? How far
does this corruption go within Omni-Tek ?.

Riddle of
the Mutant Attacks
Posted by Kirrana
Tue, 26 March 2002 12:00:00 Universal
I was informed this week of yet
another mutant attack this time by giant spiders on the Omni-Pol
Barracks. This is the latest in a long line of Mutant Attacks
which taken as single events would not account as much. However
the frequency of the attacks, the targets and the tactics could
a darker power behind it. We have not explored all of Rubi-Ka
yet so the monsters could have come from some unknown zone but
is there an unknown power controlling these beasts.
Some mainly the clans have
pointed to Omni-Med failed experiments released into the wild
causing the problem of the mutant attacks. Omni-Med strongly deny
this claim and there is certainly no suggested of proof to
it.
Others have claimed that the
outlaw group Dust Brigade could behind it but the two types of
attack patterns bare little resemblance to each other. The Dust
Brigade have targeted key locations, or key officials them seem
to have a well defined goal. The monster attacks while well coordinated
seem to have no real goal other than disturbing Omni-Tek or Clan
operations. While we cant rule it out perhaps there's another
answer.
We suppose the planet was dead
before Omni-Tek arrived but there are many strange creatures on
Rubi-Ka that have an intelligence equal or in some cases greater
than our own. Perhaps these creatures are far more organized
than we give them credit for, could there be some creature we
have not seem behind it all. Do the Enigmas have a secret plan
to remove us from the planet. Or are these attacks nothing more
than coincidence.
The Truth is out there
somewhere ?

Spider Attack on Omni-Pol Barracks in
Omni-Forrest Yesterday reports came in that the Barracks
located in the Omni Forrest were under attack by a large
group of giant Spiders.
Omni-Pol rushed to the scene to find dozens of
Blood Creepers, and we began to secure the location. After
15-20 minutes of killing these low level Blood Creepers, a
Web Spinner appeared.
|
There is no way of tell what lvl she was but it took 40
people the better part of 20 mins just to kill her.
After she was neutralized, another showed up...and once
again Omni-Pol went to work, the the Web Spinner was
killed after a brutal long battle.
As all this was going on the low level Blood creepers
just kept appearing as well. Once the 2 Web Spinners were
taken care of then the Mob Boss showed up, "The Web
Mistress". We went to work on her, and only after no
less that what seemed to be 30 minutes, she was put down.
The area was then secured, and returned to normal
activities. |

Ultimatum
To Radiman
Posted by Kirrana
Wed, 20 March 2002 12:00:00 Universal
After a week which has seen
much talk about the crime on the streets of Omni in some what of
a surprise the guilds of The
Dark Carnival, Enigma,
R.S.G.E.
Division 9, The
Nordic Alliance, The
Sword of Justice have sent Mr Radiman an Ultimatum. The
details of this Ultimatum has found the clans guilty of
harboring and funding these terrorist groups and their
activities. If Radiman fails to respond with action in 72 hours
then the guilds have said they will take matters into there own
hands. As the ultimatum says "If you do not comply within
the given time we will be left with no other choice but to
conduct swift and harsh military actions targeted at Tir,"
Radiman was quick to respond
pointing out "As far as I'm concerned, the Council has
performed according to the Tir Accord, both showing willingness
and ability to work with Omni-Tek in finding, and punishing, the
terrorists."
The act has split Omni-Tek
those that remain loyal to Mr Ross have said they will not
support the Ultimatum. An announcement from the Omni-Tek
Administration has not yet officially commented on the
situation, but sources have revealed there is no official
backing to the ultimatum.
Of course the clans have responded
to this threat and handed their own Ultimatum to the guilds,
that it they dare to set foot in Tir they will be meet with the
full force of the clans.
The whole situation is rather
confusing and not as simple as it may first appear. The whole
issue centers around the terrorist group known as the Dust
Brigade, who is believed to be helping or in some way linked to
Red Freedom the Clan terrorist group.
So the action from the Omi-Tek
guilds could be explained by this link, but also the Dust
Brigade has been linked to Valdemar Consortium
a neutral group and also a number of Omni-Tek guilds have also
been linked to the Dust Brigade.
So why have the guilds decided
to take the law into their own hands but to focus only on the
link to Dust Brigade within Clan land. Why did they not focus on
the problem inside Omni-Tek ?.
It is strange they do nothing
to stop the crime in the very streets of Omni-Entertainment but
seem willing to mobilize there forces half away across the
planet to fight it there.
But also why attack Tir, what
possible link is there that Reduum or the Dust Brigade would be
in Tir. Given that the Dust Brigade have also attacked the Clans
it would seem unlikely that the terrorist would just be hanging
around the COT.
I am sure Ross will do his utmost
to distance himself from this action, it clearly has no support
from Omni-Tek Admin, its objectives are very questionable, and
the proof the clans are in league with Dust Brigade seems at
best to be tenuous.
To me this action is reckless,
in the best light it was badly thought out, in the worst light
it is clearly an attempt to start a war with the clans. ICC will
not stand for this, if this simple reporter can see through the
rubbish this Ultimatum is then they will to. This action stands
only to hurt Omni-Tek by bring the full wraith of ICC down on
our heads.
We are Omni-Tek, I sometimes
think the guild leaders forget this, and have some Clan like
notion they can just do what they want. They believe ideas well
above there station that they can simple go above Ross's and
Omni-Teks head to demand Ultimatum's on Omni-Tek's behalf. We
already have seen the dangers this self imposed power has had on
TBA are we seeing yet another rogue group forming.
I guess like many others clan
included we now just have to wait 72 hours.

A Simple Reporters View

Crime does
not pay
Posted by Kirrana
Wed, 20 March 2002 12:00:00 Universal
After posting my story on the
recent crime problems on Rubi-Ka one might have expected an
instant reply, a note from Omni-pol, some warning to these
criminals. However as the criminals Jhoanna, SpyderVenom, SlikeX
, Ugluk and Georg
turned up in the Rompa Bar the normal pattern of events seemed
to be taking their normal course. Command Scarney showed up at
the request of the bar staff and after a few words where said
was forced out of the bar. He headed as we have seen before back
to Omni HQ to hid in the offices of Omni-Pol.
On reaching the bridge the criminals opened up on the Omni-Pol
officers guarding the bridge outnumbered the Omni-Pol officers
fell victim to the criminals blows. Scarney although joined by
Officers Corporal Dhron Bolieu and Corporal Truimvirat Pull just
stood by and watched the attack.
Our heads hung with shame as Scarney turned this back and
with the fellow officers turned and walked across the bridge
back to Omni HQ. Here he stopped and faced the criminals. Giving
them a warning to leave the area now or else. But of course the
criminals stayed, Taunting Scarney, howling derision in his
ears, the peel of laughter ringing around the towers of Omni HQ.
 |
"You have one minute to
leave" Scarney told them "or else". But of
course the criminals where not going to move and started
counting down mocking the Omni-Pol command. They did not
reach one minute, barely 30 seconds past when two slayer
droids went into action tearing into the
criminals. |
Criminals and Omni Pol Face
off |
|
As they run you could hear they pathetic cries of " that
was only 30 secs" but soon there cries where cut short as
were cut down in mid flight. The first Azazzel
died where he stood on the steps facing Scarney.
Ugluk
tried to escape by jumping in the water, but the water was only
chest height to the slayer droid that followed him in, leaving
only the floating corpse lying on the surface.
 |
Georg
and Spydervenom
made a run for over the center bridge in Omni HQ spanning
the water. The other slayer droid followed them
cutting one down on the steps up to the bridge,
Spydervenom the last was cut down on the very center of
the of the bridge. They had not got more than 100 meters
from where they first stood mocking Omni-Pol. |
Slayers tear the criminals apart |
|
Within less than 30 seconds the so cock sure criminals where
now reduced to nothing more lifeless corpses. Reappearing back
at rez terminals with the haunting last view of a slayer droid
arm ripping into them.
With only Scarney and the loyal Omni-Pol officers left, including
Taxation a brave Bureaucrat helping Omni-Pol out. Scarney just
looked straight ahead, known for his stony unchanging expression.
But you could just see the slight smile on his face, but this
eyes gave him away. Omni-Pol officers should not be seen to
enjoying this moment but you could forgive Scarney getting his
revenge on these criminals.
Today justice was served.

Love at
the Top and life as a neutral
Posted by Kirrana
Tue, 19 March 2002 23:00:00 Universal
 |
Being a
Neutral on Rubi-Ka is hard enough but for a couple in love
at the top of one of the biggest guilds in the neutral
faction what is life really like. Well Silenna and Nyadach
stopped by the Rompa for a quick chat about there
relationship, life as a neutral and their views on the
events of the last view months. |
|
Kirrana: Ok Well today I have with me Silenna and Nyadach
both Neutrals and from the guild Independent Rubikans of which they both run, also they happen to be married as well
Kirrana: Do you find your married life and guild hard to manage at all ?
Nyadach: i dont, we just keep one side in guild hours and the other outta it
Silenna: I'd say that being married helps us run the guild- it means we're a team...we cooperate well, and when we disagree with something, it doesn't became a major shouting match. We get things sorted out
Nyadach: true, sil orders me to do something and i cave
Silenna: yeah, it works well
Kirrana: So how did the two of you meet in the first ?
Silenna: Nya and I met in borealis a few years back
Nyadach: ahh way back when it was nice and quiet :)
Silenna: We found love through arguing. We both love a good
punch up, and we finally found someone who could give as good as they got in each other
Nyadach: sil was having problems with a duff head implant
Kirrana: I see so was it love at first sight ?
Nyadach: it was for some of us, not like that ever admited it :)
Silenna: you could say that... many people look askance at us, because of our age difference. I don't know my age precisely, but our guild doctor says I'm about 33, and Nyadach is 55.
Kirrana: Well you both look well for you age but I guess life as a neutral was not easy, and lead to you creating a guild to gain support within the neutral faction ?
Nyadach: the guild kinda came about through the work as the paper, what with people asking us are we ever going to form a guild
Silenna: Yes... neutrality is a tough life, and we're a minority. Throughout history, minorities have formed groups.
Silenna: The NCU upgrade allowing neutral guilds is fairly recent, otherwise we would have formed one much longer ago. We should mention, though, our partners in crime in forming IR and IRN: Drtiny and Fractaloon. Without their help and
input, we wouldn't be where we are today.
Kirrana: I understand different neutral groups have different views on the situation on Rubi-Ka but what are the goals and needs for a neutral on Rubi-ka in your view
Silenna: firstly, the availability of high quality nanocrystals in shops. We can't get any really superior ones
Nyadach: to make sure neutrality isnt just faded into becoming a clan
Silenna: Secondly, NCU programming currently means we flag as 'hostile' to the NCU implants of both Clan and Omni. I'd like to see that changes
Silenna: Yes, we aren't clan, we aren't clan sympathizers. We are
neutrals.
Kirrana: Yes its hard for some to split the difference between clan and neutral what do you see as setting you apart from either Omni or Clan
Silenna: I guess what sets us apart from the clan is that we're not opposed to Omni in the way they are
Silenna: We're not cosy with Omni- pardon me for saying it, but you guys human rights record isn't exactly faultless... but the clans are just,
well, childish!
Silenna: Of course, neutrals fall into two basic groups: those who don't care about the war and are willing to milk it for all it's worth, and those who think the war is pointless and
sympathies with neither side.
Kirrana: So what role do you see the neutrals playing on Rubi-ka as of yet you have been rather quiet on affairs
Silenna: I don't think neutrals as a whole have a one political agenda we just want to live an easy life. I'd personally like to see neutrals called on as arbitrators, but I guess we're not the kind who desire world domination.
Nyadach: we tend to be more used to both sides for a role of information gatheres and the like
Kirrana: But recent events have seen neutrals linked to the dust group by that I mean via Vandelmar Consortium selling the arms. This must be a worry for the neutrals starting to be seen behind a plot
Nyadach: that consortium is more clan than most the clanners I know for what they provide
and for some of the things they are involved with, it makes most neuts
horrified
Silenna: I find the recent developments of the vandelmar consortium and the neutral dusters very worrying.
I think all neutrals consider the dusters their enemies.
Kirrana: Some people have claimed that the DB are using the neutrals as a cover a place to hid behind. This has become a worry to both Omni-Tek and Clan alike it must cause a lot of pressure on the neutral leaders such as your self to do something
Nyadach: we would love to oust them from our citys, yet with the freedom we offer to all such actions is against everything we believe in yet, some of us, have taken some actions to keep tabs on these
organisations, and to make sure anything they do do, is reported to the correct authorities in time
Silenna: I think Omni-tek fears another Sabulum if they try a cleanup operation in a neutral town
Nyadach: we may not be clan or omni, but that doesn't stop us from helping
either of them if they need it
Kirrana: The battle lines appear almost drawn between Omni-Tek and the clans, do you fear being caught in the middle of another battle.
Silenna: Nyadach was involved in a recent meeting of omni, clan and neutral guilds on behalf of IR to discuss plans for dealing with the dusters
definitely, yes. we're always caught in the middle. At least death isn't fatal on Rubi-ka, but a war between the two factions would be damaging to us, sure enough.
Nyadach: we know its coming, we will be the first hit, and we will be the ones protected in the name of on our behalf we dont like it, and dont want any of it
Silenna: I like the way both factions say they uphold neutral's wish to remain neutral, then carry on firing at us
Kirrana: So what does the future hold for you, the guild and neutrals, how do you see your lives on Rubi-ka panning out
Silenna: I think how we want our lives to pan out, and how they will, are two very different things.
We want to see rubi-ka at peace. I suspect we'll see rubi-ka at war, and us caught in the middle. One thing is for sure though: long after omni-tek and the clans are forgotten, there'll still be neutrals.
Silenna: I suppose there's one final thing I'd like to say: If you are a soldier of Omni, or the clans, check before you fire. The person you fire on might not be your enemy, but a neutral just passing through.
Kirrana: Ok well thanks To Nyadach and Silenna for the interview and I wish you both well for the future
Silenna: Thank you
Nyadach: you too Kirrana :) thanks for the interview :) |
|
We wish the couple well for the future in fact we can all do
so this weekend as they are set to renew their vows in baboons
to celebrate there anniversary.

Crime is
out of Hand, the Public Call on Ross to Restore Order
Posted by Kirrana
Mon,
18 March 2002 23:00:00 Universal
It started with a few crimes at
the Rompa Bar in Omni Entertainment and there is should have
ended with the heavy arm of the law in the form of Omni-Pol
coming down on their heads. But this was not the case, a more lenient
Omni-Pol perhaps on the orders of Ross himself to present an
open view of Omni-Tek with the eyes of the clans and ICC
watching our every move.
The crime was allowed to carry
on unpunished it escalated to new heights and direct attacks on
Omni-Pol itself. Even the example made of one criminal Freen did
little to stop the others now beset on driving each other to new
levels of debauchery. Rogue underground guilds sprung up from
the sewer no longer fearful from Omni-Pol's wraith. It was not
long before members of The Black Alliance went back to their old
way making a mockery of the trust placed in them by Ross after
Portman was captured.
We are no longer talking of the
odd mugging but gangs such as Sinister Anarchist making large
scale raids against Omni-Pol. Trying to rule the roost in the
Rompa Bar threatening innocent members of the public, driving
them out onto the street and killing them in full view of Ross's
Office.
But still Omni-Pol act with
half hearted measures laughed at by the criminals and on many
occasions chased back to the Omni-Pol HQ with the heads between
their legs. This is not the Omni-Pol we have come to expect to
up hold law and order on the streets of Rubi-Ka. What is going
on ?. How have we become so soft as to allow this to happen.
Even in the lawless world of the clans such events would not be
permitted. So why should we in Omni-Tek.
As Miss La Belle Decat said
" I pay my taxes to Omni-Tek, I have worked very hard for
them. The least I expect is to be able to walk the streets in safety
without some ruffian trying to kill me"
Her thoughts are echoed by most
in Omni-Tek tonight as the criminals are still at large. I have
seen their acts with my own eyes. My head has dropped as I watch
the Omni-Pol Commander running for his life into Omni HQ with
the sounds of laughter ringing in his ears.
We have already heard of Omni-Tek
citizens taking the law into their own hands, an dangerous
option and one I must warn against but these people feel they
have little else open to them.
We know the people, we have
details of their crimes. What we want now Mr Ross is justice for
the people of Omni-Tek.
The Criminals
If you seen any of the following below they are consider wanted
by Omni-Pol of crimes against Omni-Tek. Be on the look out for
these and anyone else who fall away from the true path of Omni-Tek

|
Wesley "Methlon" Peak |
Wanted for the murder of Mr Rani
and several attacks on Omni-Pol officers. He is also
believe to be the ring master Sinister
Anarchist. |

|
John "Partypooper" McKechnie |
Also wanted
for the murder of Mr Rani, has attacked Omni-Pol officers
on a number of occasions is believed to be the muscle for
Methlon |

|
Nehcron "Ugluk" Howryla |
Wanted for
crimes against the state while working for TBA. These
crimes where over looked due the capture of portman but
this rein of terror has started again. Is wanted for the
mass murder of several Omni-Pol officers |

|
Pasquale "Spydervenom" Capo |
General in The
Black Hand Gang also wanted for crimes against the state.
This character is consider mentally unstable and is wanted
for the deaths of Omni-Pol officers killed with a large
beam. |

|
Sierra "Jhoanna" Washko |
Also known as
the Cat Queen is wanted for the assault on Omni-Pol
officers and the death of Omni-Tek personal Redstar. |

Save the
Leet party Raised 3.2 Million
Posted by Kirrana
Mon,
18 March 2002 23:00:00 Universal
On Saturday night there was a
party to raise money for the protection of Leets on Rubi-Ka. The
FriendLeet foundation long time protectors of the leets had been
able to rescue a number of the creatures from a compound in East
Street Bank a few weeks ago. However faced with the influx of
new arrivals at the leet sanctuary feeding all these new faces
soon became a drain on the guilds resources.
Short of money they turned
towards the people of Rubi-Ka to help in fund raising events and
were not let down. The big event was a party in Baboons, well
attended by people and leets alike. With the music blasting out,
people dancing and drinking the night away a lot of fun was had
by all.
The Leet auction performed by
Captain Baxie was a great success, everyone one was surprised by
the quality and the amount of items given to the cause by
people. We cant thank people enough for there help which
will go to save many leet lives.
A full report plus pictures can
be found on the baboons site.

The heart
of an Atrox and the return of Pattie Meloche
Posted by Kirrana
Fri,
15 March 2002 23:00:00 Universal
A few people might have known
that Pattie Meloche has been returned to her aunt Derva
but the details of how where unknown that was until Areania had
chance to interview the hero of the this tale Pudgeman. So still
back and here how one little girl came between an Atrox and a
bronto burger well at least for an hour or two.
|
Pudgeman: I was going home
from my job last yesterday when I noticed a little girl
standing in the middle of Omni-Entertainment.
Areania: Interesting when was this?
Pudgeman: about 10 last night, March 6th
Areania: you know of the recent
happenings? Is there a connection?
Pudgeman: Yes in fact I was intrigued
about this little girl, and listening in on her
conversation. I discovered that this was Pattie Meloche apparently
somehow, i don't know how she had escaped her prisoners
and this atrox, Gnarr(wrong name), had found her and was
escorting her home!
Areania: [happy] It was! you did! don't
let me stop you please go on!. Where did he found her?
Pudgeman: Normally, I would go straight
home, I mean, its a long time between lunch and dinner....hmmmm...I
believe he stated that she was wandering around
Omni-Entertainment, anyway, but you see there was know way
I was going to let this pass me up
Areania: Lunch, dinner? You can eat
later! In Omni-Entertainment you say...
Pudgeman: another employee of Omni-Tek,
Ratmedic, had also noticed and filled me in on the current
situation
Areania: Oh so It was you three there or
was there others?
Pudgeman: The little girl wished to find
her aunt and being the good Omni-tek employees we are,
were happy to help here. Some others passed us, but I
guess they where to caught up in there own lives
Areania: and well this Gnarr(wrong name)
and Ratmedic are they involved in particular
Department that is did you scan them?
Pudgeman: I didn't think of it at the time, I was mostly curious
about the girl....
Areania: So far I can only congratulate
you on your fast thinking please go on
Pudgeman: The girl seemed to remember
that her aunt lived in one of the high rises in
Omni-trade. Having no other information at the time, we
decided it was the best place to start. When we arrived at
omni-trade it took a little while for the girl to remember
which high-rise it was. After some time of debating with
herself she settled on High-rise #3. It turns out the girl
has quite a good memory, and glad I was too. My tummy was
starting to rumble quite viciously
Areania: Well this was more important but I suppose urges
like hunger can be powerful, so it was the right high-rise..
Pudgeman: It was quite the heart felt
reunion, and I can't help but shed a tear at how little
pattie ran up and hugged her aunt :)
Areania: Oh, So Derva Meloche was there?
Pudgeman: Her aunt, none other than
Derva Meloche, gave Gnarr a hug and thanked us for returning
her niece.
Areania: [a obviously happy and
satisfied voice] Ah, I am glad and overjoyed of your
efforts in this matter this will not pass by lightly!
Pudgeman: Derva insisted that pattie be
checked out by Omni-med, even though the little girl
insisted that the "bad men" had not hurt her. We
waved goodbye to little pattie as they walked off, and I
couldn't help but hug the Atrox too. [wipes tears from
eyes]
Areania: One can never be to carefull
but my own experiences says most Omni-Med facilities are
not to be visited if one can avoid them
Pudgeman: afterwards I had the most
delicious bronto burger.... Mmmmmm...Speaking of that I
think I'll get another one of those for breakfast today or
two
Areania: Well this will not go Idly by I
will personally recommend you for a promotion as a first
step
Areania: But well the bronto burger..
you know there is more to this then a kidnapped girl and
it connects right down to that bronto burger of yours
Pudgeman: thank you madam! I'm honored
[in shock] My burger!! [looks at stomach]
Areania: This brings the OSID out from a
darkness I am proud to say that you have made a big
difference. Well you see oh well have a look at the board
in HQ I will post some info there
Pudgeman: ok...but is it safe to eat my burger?. I'm
awfully hungry you know
Areania: Well I don´t see how that
could be a bad thing no you could most deffinately eat at
BB´s. The connection is at a more larger scale then that
Pudgeman: [sigh of releif]
Areania: well now could I count that as
the end of your report?
Pudgeman: [voice is garbled from sound of food in mouth] Yet,
I finc thab avout covers it.
Areania: Ehrmm, well I´ll end logging then

Bizarre Beasts
Attack Entertainment
A report from
Virind and eyewitness account cayll describe the events of two
monsters in Omni-Ent heading for perhaps freedom towards the
Whompa's. While I am sure the Clans will be quick to label the
monsters rejects from Omni-Med experiments at this early stage
we have no idea as the the source of these creatures. Thanks to
Cayll for the pictures. In case you where wondering the monsters
are both the same the large black creatures looking like
blobs. Early reports of these in fact being Snarf's return in
new form where in fact false.

Bizarre
Beasts Attack Entertainment
by Virind - Tue, 12 Mar 2002
00:00:00 Universal
This morning, two giant hideous beasts appeared and
began a devastating rampage through Omni-Entertainment.
They first emerged somewhere near the southern slums, and
began to make their way towards the whompa gates.
The two beasts known as Blackrot and Fester, were huge,
shambling mounds of decay and filth. A single gigantic
mouth made up nearly the whole of their bodies. Strange
sickly light came from within them; something unholy and
unnatural.
What would have happened had they reached those gates?
We will never know. Omni employees reacted with heroic
speed and selflessness in converging on the scene.
Together they attacked the creatures, who were far more
powerful and vicious than anything the impromptu army had
faced individually.
Nano programs exploded across the landscape, and deadly
creatures conjured from the very minds of nearby
Meta-Physicists stood side by side with martial artists,
soldiers, and members of nearly every profession of Rubi-Ka.
The fighting was fierce and many brave defenders were cut
down by the invaders. Even members of the clans threw in
with the desperate defense of the city. Standing alongside
their long time foes of Omni, both sides put aside their
fueds, and joined into a stronger whole, a single purpose
of thought and action: to destroy the common threat.
Had these creatures made it out of Omni-Entertainment,
all of Rubi-Ka might have been at risk. But the danger was
stopped by the actions of the people. Not Omni, nor clan,
but the people. Together, their strength was enough to
overcome anything.
But the question remains. Where did these beasts come
from? Who or what unleashed them on us all? When will the
next attack come, and in what form from our blackest
nightmares will that attack be?

Captain
Vaskez from Omni-Pol gives her view on events at the Rompa Bar,
TBA DB and herself
Posted by Kirrana
Mon,
11 March 2002 23:00:00 Universal
In an open interview with Miss
Vaskez after yet more trouble in the Rompa Bar she found the
time to give her views on the recent troubles. We also spoke of
the kidnapping, connections between Valdemar Consortium and the
Dust Brigade, TBA and found out a bit more about this prominent
Omni-Pol Officer.
|
 |
Kirrana: Well Thanks
for finding the time for an interview
Vaskez: Not a problem.. good to
get away from the grind a bit
Kirrana: Well there are a number
of questions I guess we should start with events in
the Rompa Bar of late. We have seen a number of
killings in there this week. It appears to be
turning into a crime wave center ?

Miss
Vaskez Click the pic for her full profile |
Vaskez: Our own reports have certainly been on
the increase there and we are having to take the time to look
into it. As yet we don't have any conclusive proof.. but we have
several names linked to all the disturbances
Throll the bouncer mentioned that the bar
could be shut down due to the problems of late any thoughts on
that ?
Vaskez: It is a matter for considerable
concern to omni pol. We don't want to have to take such drastic
measures. But there is certainly room for review on the Bar's
license at the moment. Throll is a very handy person for us to
have on the premises. Being a veteran of our own ranks. So we do
take his thoughts on the matter with some seriousness. But..
there are a lot of things in the balance with this.. loss of
business for the owners is very worrying to us
Kirrana: Yes he has been missing of late, I
think perhaps the shock of the events have got to him perhaps,
perhaps he would feel safer if Mr Partypooper and Methlon had be
captured.
Vaskez: We are working on leads in that
direction, and considering providing some form of greater
protection to throll. I can't go into detail on the
investigation at the moment

Criminals
on the Run ?
Posted by Kirrana

On Saturday we saw Freen once
again show his true colours by attacking Omni-Pol again. This
after a fight with Omni-Pol in the Rompa bar less than a day
before. This time Freen paid a heavy price for this outrage by
being banned from Omni-Tek.

Well tonight we have a new step
in the story as Partypooper already in trouble over the bar
brawl two days ago came looking for more trouble tonight. I was
in the bar after a hard day working on the paper, I just ordered
a glass of water when I noticed a stranger at the bar Mr Rani.
While talking to Mr Rani about events on Rubi-Ka Meister from
Omni-Pol turned up at the bar. Meister talked to Mr Rani and
explained that two criminals where outside and that he should be
careful. It was then Mr Partypooper and Methlon turned
up and started to harass poor Mr Rani trying to draw him into
fighting.
Mr Rani tried to defuse the problem by leaving the bar and
making his way to the Omni-HQ where I understand he works. In a
shameless act Partypooper attacked Mr Rani claiming it was in
return for Rani called Omni-Pol on Saturday which lead to Freen
being removed from Omni-Tek.

In the unfair fight Rani was killed, one hopes he was insured
at the time, but this is still a crime in which action was sure
to follow. Worried at the heavy Omni Pol presences in Omni-HQ
the criminals made a rush back to the Rompa bar perhaps to toast
their work.
It was not long before Commander
Scarney O Brian was at the club to arrest Partypooper for his
crimes. Partypooper was not willing to come quietly and a fight
soon took place, but even with help from Methlon he was
outclassed. Partypooper fearing what would happen if he
was taken in made a run for it into the grid. In a bid to give
his pal time, Methlon attacked Scarney and dispite being asked a
number of times would not stop. Scarney was forced to attack and
kill Methlon before carrying on the pursuit. However Methlon had
bought enough time for Partypooper to make it to the grid.

Scarney at this moment in time has not commented to the press
on the recent events but be sure Omni-Pol will deal with Mr
Partypooper and Methlon in time.
In further revelation Miss
Areania from the guild OSID talked about her chat with Methlon
the other night. " I met with Methlon and PartyBoy, Methlon
told me he was going to kill Miss Derva the Omni PR lady. He
said it was in return for Miss Derva killing his brother. "
Methlon during the fight at the
Rompa mentioned a so called league but would not give any
details. But is this a rise of a new crime wave by a new founded
league or just a couple of fools. I guess we will have to wait
to find out.

Equimon
Suspects Sol Banking behind Dust Brigade ?
Posted by Kirrana

Universal
In an open interview with
Equimon the president of The Great Paladine Core we learn a
little of what it takes to run a guild on Rubi-Ka. But in
something of a shock he goes on to speculate about the possible
involvement Sol Banking might be playing behind the scenes.
Are they the real force behind the Dust brigade Equimon makes
some valid points. Also he removes the trade ban on TBA and
opens the new academy for people just arriving on the planet.
|
 |
Kirrana: Ok I have with me today Equimon the President of the Great Paladine Core Guild.
Equimon: Hello.
Kirrana: I guess we can start by asking you to tell us a bit about your guild |
Equimon: That I can do, GPC is a OT Defensive unit, within Omni-Internops. We are here to make sure that there are
none that threatens OT in anyway, regardless of their alignment or political standing. We're protecting the cause one might say.
We're also here to hunt down every Dustmen on this planet.
One unit by the time.
Kirrana: You are by some standards quite a new guild but already have a lot of members so you must keep the guild running smoothly,
any tips out there for other guild leaders ?
Equimon: Actually, we're not that new. We started out in October last year. And most of our members are from Omni Nano Kinetics, which was my first assignment on Rubi-Ka. All I can say is that, you must be gentle, commanding, sure of yourself and by god: know what your doing.
Kirrana: Yes always a good idea, So what has been the highlight of your time on Rubi-Ka so far ?
Equimon: The highlight...hmm..that must be have been forming and leading this great band of people. And forming and shaping a working defensive unit, as it is today. I'm getting more and nicer highlights with these people each day.
Kirrana: With what looks like conflict on Rubi-Ka growing closer each day what is your view on the clanners, TBA wishes to see the removed from the planet, while Ross appears to want peace ?
Equimon: I think that I must agree with Ross. Nobody "wants" war. Well, some do. But I don't, I want OT-RK to prosper. But some terrorist like Red Freedom and Dust Brigade and several other good examples literally stand in the way of that happening.
So, I only hope that there can be a peaceful solution, but as it is now, I don't see that happening, so me, and the rest of GPC are prepared to raise our guns in the words of great CEO Phillip Ross. But when OT-RK will act, only CEO Ross knows. Who knows when these criminals will punished.
Kirrana: The Dust Brigade have been a main focus of late, I understand you have had your own run in with them,
but do you have any views if a greater power might be behind them ?
Equimon: I suspect Sol Banking Corporation to behind the financing at least of the Dust Brigade, heck even
TruSpace. But who knows? It's not like we have heard anything special about either of them in the last years.
Kirrana: No but we have heard that the Vandelmar Consortium a neutral group have been linked with them, this is a
worrying new trend and the DB may pose a greater threat to Omni-Tek than first thought ?
Equimon: The VC yes. Well...My opinion is odd, I don't
care much for the VC. Our R&I department investigating
them, and any ties to any rebel and-or terrorist group.
But just think: We haven't heard of the Sol Banking Corporation, or any other competing corporation
since June 09, 29442. One might think that is strange. That was when the corporate wars ended, and was
quickly followed up with the Corporate War trials. Same year that the ICC Peackeeping Corps was established.
One might think it would weird that the most hostile competing corporation would be silent? I bet you 1M that Sol Banking Corp. Is behind the DB, are you willing to take that bet?
Kirrana: LOL I am not a betting person, but Sol Banking would appear as likely as any other group so far. Perhaps we can turn to Omni-Pol matters.
There has been a lot said about TBA and the OTSEC and general in fighting between the Omni-Tek guilds which cannot be good. You seem to have
largely stayed away from such matters but what's your view on the internal problems
?
Equimon: Since I'm not associated with the OTSEC, or any other alliance for that matter I don't got much to say. Today I acted as good-will ambassador for Azazzel and Meister, and had them here to talk. No solution.
Kirrana: But you did have a trade ban on TBA, why was that and why did you decide to remove it ?
Equimon: My opinion, is that TBA will make up for actions. I've talked to Azazzel, and he promised me that TBA will NOT attack OT employees if not provoked first.
The Trade ban is in there because TBA acted in false ways lately. For my two complaints and issues, Azazzel and Commander Scarney, an offical OT, have signed a non-aggression treaty, Azazzel told me to today. I just hope his words are true, if they are, I'm looking forward to yet again having my focus on the real terror out there, and not internal flaws. We have removed the trade ban, because of things said by both Azazzel and Meister today, and I'll be waiting to see the
situation on. We're still investigating a lot of issues.
Kirrana: So what does the future now hold for you and your guild
Equimon: Hopefully: Peace and Prosperity for Omni-Tek on this red planet of ours. Who knows? Maybe we'll even earn a dime or two. I would also like to say that we have opened a new division in our guild, called the Great Paladine Academy, we let new arrivals on Rubi-Ka feel welcome and maybe choose a way into the Great Paladine Core.

Rumble
at the Rompa Bar
Posted by Kirrana
Wed,
09 March 2002 20:00:00
Universal
Today at 20:00:00 I got a
call to the Rompa in omni entertainment as the contact put it
something was going down. I arrived in time to see what looked
like a stand off between Omni-Pol and TBA. Then all hell let
lose as the fighting started with one left dead, Omni Pol left
the scene with TBA and members of OTSEC in tow.

It seemed an open and shut
case another show of TBA at work. However not happy with
just taking things at face value I tried to ask Commander
Scarney O Brian what in the world was going on. The stony
faced Omni-Pol commander refused to answer any questions but
by asking around the bar I found out Throll the club bouncer
had been there.

Throll was nice enough to
grant me an interview with him about the events and as the
interview will show my first view of events where completely
wrong.
|
 |
Throll: So, Miss Western, what do you want
to talk to me about?
Kirrana: Well thanks for finding the time for an
interview, after what seems a sad run of events
Throll lets out an affirmative grunt
Throll: Sad yes, Omni's killing Omni's is always sad
Kirrana: I have heard quite a story from Methlon and
Partypooper two trouble makers, but I wonder if you could explain the events in your own words ?
|

Throll: I'll do my best Miss Western. I was at home
when I got a call from the Bartender at Rompa Bar. He
told me that a certain Partypooper and Methlon had
killed a customer so I got out and headed to workThroll: So, Miss Western, what do you want
to talk to me about?
Kirrana: Well thanks for finding the time for an
interview, after what seems a sad run of events
Throll lets out an affirmative grunt
Throll: Sad yes, Omni's killing Omni's is always sad
Kirrana: I have heard quite a story from Methlon and
Partypooper two trouble makers, but I wonder if you could
explain the events in your own words ?
Throll: I'll do my best Miss Western. I was at home
when I got a call from the Bartender at Rompa Bar. He
told me that a certain Partypooper and Methlon had
killed a customer so I got out and headed to work
When I arrived at the bar, I met the victim in the
hallway, luckily he had an updated insurance. After
talking to him and getting his version of the story,
confronted Partypooper, Methlon was not there then. I
guess he had chickened out and left, in case Omni-Pol
came to investigate. Partypooper denied that he had
killed anyone, so I checked with the Bartender and the
Party Mixer
They both confirmed that at the moment of the
incident, there was only 3 customers in the bar the
victim, Partypooper and Methlon and that the two
troublemakers attacked with no warning or any prior
argument
Partypooper still denied it, so I called some old
friends in Pol, and they sent Commander Scarney with a
patrol. I kept up talking to Partypooper, keeping him
there until the Omni-Pol unit arrived and that is when
all hell broke loose.
Throll grumbles
Partypooper called in friends, and suddenly the place
was crowded with TBA people, and OTSEC showed up too.
Partypooper was told to follow Commander Scarney, he
declined and attacked the Commander
The Commander and his squad held back in hope that
the criminal would stop. But when it was clear that he
intended to kill commander Scarner, the Commander and
his squad opened up fire and killed Partypooper
Kirrana: Well it seems they had no choice in the
matter
Throll nods
Throll: They did not have a choice. Then Freen
attacked on of the Commanders people and killed her and
that is when I lost complete control of the situations,
and let Omni-Pol handle it alone
Kirrana: So to clear it up TBA and OTSEC did not
cause the problem just the two named people so far
Throll: Well, most of TBA and OTSEC did not cause
trouble, although bigmouths like Sixblade and Ugluk did
their best to cause a frenzy
Kirrana: What caused Freen to Attack her ?
Throll: I've no idea, most likely because she was the
one that shot the last shot and killed Partypooper
Kirrana: Did Omni-Pol attack any members of TBA as
far as you saw ?
Throll: No, as far as I saw, Omni-Pol did not open
fire on TBA members, every time it was they that were
attacked, and they just defended themselves
Kirrana: I see, I noticed just after both Methlon and
Partypooper where still in the bar, is any further
action to be taken against them
Throll: That I do not know, but if they show up, I
will complete ignore them and call Omni-Pol. What action
that will be taken against them is up to Omni-Pol I
guess. After all, they killed a peaceful citizen for
fun, and then attacked Omni-Pol personnel
Kirrana: Yes one would expect them to be dealt with
in time, perhaps this will serve as a warning to others,
whom decide to have that sort of fun in your bar
Throll: It is not my bar, it's just were I work ..
maybe even worked, I've been asked to stay at home until
the boss decides. Who knows, with all the trouble in the
bar lately, it might even be shut down temporarily
I guess that will be up to Omni-Pol
Throll: And I promise, that if I get to work there
again, if I see one of those three rebels, yes, I call
people like Partypoope, Methlon and Freen rebels, they
are not worthy of their Omni Citizenship
Kirrana: I am sure once people hear of the events
today many will share your dim view on these people who
dare to take the faction Omni-Tek
Throll nods
Throll: Omni Tek should revoke their citizenship, and
then put them in a transport and dump them in the desert
up north
Throll: But as you said Miss Western, the days events
have been exhausting. I think I should go home and get
some rest
Kirrana: Yes I am sorry I have kept you far longer
than I dreamed to. Thanks for the interview and I wish
you well. Lets up your work now on will be free of
anymore events like that.
|

To be fair I also interviewed Partypooper and Methlon but they
just confirmed what Tholl had already told me. When asked why
they did it the answer was "Partypooper: for fun".
I have not bothered to post the rest of it trust me it was not
worth it, but I have done so for there own safety as the
comments they have made will lead them into more
trouble.
We will have to wait and see what action is taken against
Methlon, Partypooper, Freen but there is little doubt in my
mind we have not heard the last of it. This should serve as a
warning to other fools out there who think they can just get
away with being stupid the long arms of the law are waiting
for you.
After dealing with this event a more relaxed throll went on
to talk about his self, the past and the work he does now.

Interview
with Azazzel TBA Deny Links with DB and open arms to the rest
of Omni-Tek
Posted by Kirrana
Wed,

Universal
The last few days have been a
busy time for Azazzel the leader of TBA, today we caught up
with him to set the record straight and get his own view on
events. During the course of this interview he deny's any
links to Dust Brigade and the Vandelmar
Consortium. He also goes on to explain TBA's position and
opens his hands to welcome co-operation between the
guilds and OTSEC. It appears TBA are also running a rally in Omni Ent tonight with the goal of creating a better understanding
of TBA. In the interests of Omni-Teks future I would suggest
you turn up to at least hear them out.
|
<Kirrana> I have with me Today Azazzel the leader of The BlackHand guild and the main force behind The Black Alliance (TBA)
Azazzel Hello Kirrana it's an honour and a pleasure to finally sit and talk with you
<Kirrana> I am sure many people already know about The Black Alliance however for those that don't and perhaps to clear up misunderstandings others may have perhaps you could explain the group in our own words ?
<[Azazzel> Very well... The BlackHand, DRAP, and Night Assault Legion are the main driving force behind a coalition that believes in action over words... we are all old veterans from the old war and have lost many friends over these grievous years... The Black Alliance represents military unity and brotherhood over the poisonous lies of bureaucracy that is poisoning this planet. Strength and Might over Politician the real safety the citizens of Omni Tek needs
<Kirrana> You have been rather out spoken on the Way Ross has conducted business so far on Rubi-Ka, in fact if I may be so bold only a few months ago you seemed at odds even perhaps to some seemed to be at war with Omni-Tek itself?
<[Azazzel> War is a rather extreme term Ms Kirrana when u have seen the mass slaughter I have done... I am not talking a simple skirmish in any of our political zones I am talking of watching your brothers cut down by a sea of bullets and gore... no war is not pleasurable but in these dark times I am afraid it leaves us little options. Take The Dust Brigade for instance... I fervently believe if we had conquered the clan cities or strategically launched warheads and removed the Clans permanently then the Dust Brigade would have been sniffed out and terminated long ago
<Kirrana> Yes but war is a nasty business, Mr Ross has placed great efforts to bring about peace on Rubi_ka to learn to work with the clans. But you seem against this wishing to see the clans removed completely?
<Azazzel> Yes... we saw more guerilla tactics placed about by clan forces in the times of the amnesty than the majority of the bloodshed spilt when we were officially at war in the old days.
They are terrorists and like all terrorists must be executed with no remorse
<Kirrana> In recent months we have seem a change in TBA a softening of the view, is this a real move to a new TBA or a changed forced by the member guilds who did not share the hard line view you took ?
<Azazzel> Evidently once the amnesty was gone the TBA wasn't really softened it just let us do what we wanted to the clanners within reason since we were officially back at war with them as a corporation
<Kirrana> But TBA have backed down on a number of issues of late, the non aggression pact and the strike issue. Was this not to placate the more sensitive guilds in TBA not wishing to raise arms against Omni-Tek personal?
<Azazzel> OK firstly
I was of planet for 2 days that's why it took me a while to realize what was going on. At first my own department seemed itchy and very angry towards one of our new members called Tisantous who released this article. I thought this was supported by all the TBA guilds till I contacted Terrorizer from DRAP and Ugluk from NAL and it appears it was a total rogue act.
Secondly... regarding the non aggression pact
The non aggression act was with Scarney on the grounds that he dropped the charges against myself in return we would live in peace with the Omni-Pol forces.
We haven't gotten soft in fact I would say we aren't as slack... for instance a division of Omni Pol declared war on us and we accepted... the majority of these anti TBA guilds are simply all talk and when we announce open conflict with them they soon back down but then continue to harass us. They hide behind the company.
<Kirrana> Yes if you don't mind me say TBA have been quick to enter conflict in the past, Is it not able time the various guilds and groups put aside your views for the Good of Omni-Tek. Would you welcome working with OTSEC and other guilds.
<Azazzel> Once we see OTSEC working as a unity against clanners instead of trying to disrepute The Black Alliance then we will open the doors to negotiation. Remember The Black Alliance on the whole has done far more for Omni Tek than this OTSEC. We brought down Red Freedom and its leader. Always remember that.
To this end we are opening a rally tonight at 24:00GMT in Omni Entertainment to breach the gap between Loyalist and TBA alike which we feel will be beneficial for all
<Kirrana> Well that sounds like a good start perhaps we can turn to darker matters, In the last few weeks members of TBA have been seen with some strange characters linked to the Vandelmar Consortium and Dust Brigade any truth in the claim TBA is linked to either of these groups.
<Azazzel> No. I can but my hand on my own life and say that TBA would never link with The Dust Brigade. In our eyes they are clanners and all clanners should be hunted down and executed ASAP and matters will clear up very soon
<Kirrana> But is does raise the question as to why high level members have been seen in meetings with the very suspicious Mr Duster and with key members of the Vandelmar Consortium before the
kidnap. You must understand how this looks but I am sure you have some explanation for these meetings
<Azazzel> Vandelmar Consortium is not part of TBA so there business is their own. If they choose to sell there battle brothers out then that's there
prerogative.
<Kirrana> Ok Well thats all I have time for today just leaves me to say thanks to Azazzel for allowing me to interview him
<Azazzel> not at all its been a pleasure Kirrana :)

OTSEC
Chairman makes the trade ban on TBA Official
Posted by Kirrana
Wed,

Universal

For a long time now, the coalition known
as The Black Alliance (TBA) has been a thorn in the eye
of decent Omni-Tek employees. From their creation they
have been in conflict with the wishes of our leader
Phillip Ross.
Opposing the amnesty, instigating violence towards
clanners in an attempt to hamper the peace efforts.
However, the insubordinate actions of the alliance are
not only aimed at the Clans. Recently TBA forces
attacked an Omni-Pol commander sent to arrest Azazzel,
leader of TBA. Not only was the Omni-Pol commander
forced into retreat, TBA forces afterwards killed
upwards of 50 Omni-Tek guards around the Whompas in Omni
Entertainment in a shameless bloodlust.
Naturally these actions are totally unacceptable. The
Omni-Tek Security Council hereby officially condemns TBA
for their actions against Omni-Tek. Furthermore we are
instating a trade boycott on all TBA members effective
immediately. OTSEC members will no longer conduct trade
with TBA members.
Finally, an appeal to The Black Alliance, to the
leaders: If you have any decency and common sense left
in you, you will cease your insurgent actions at once.
Make a formal apology as fast as possible, you are still
Omni-Tek employees, you still have a chance to help the
company. We do not wish you as enemies, but we cannot
just stand by and do nothing while you shatter the
corporation from within.
To the members of TBA: We urge you to open your eyes to
what your leaders are doing, look at the actions they
have done, listen to the words of rebellion they speak.
Do not let their talk of a crusade against the evil of
the clans blind you from the truth.
OTSEC hopes these steps will make TBA reconsider its
course of action
Strength through unity

Niece
of OT Official Kidnapped, Vandelmar Consortium Implicated
Posted by Kirrana
Wed,
07 March 2002 24:00:00

The neutral guild know as the
Vandelmar
Consortium where known to have been involved in the kidnap
of Pattie Meloche the niece
of Omni-Tek PR director Derva Meloche. The Vandelmar
Consortium better know is a group of successful
business men and women who whose clever investments in several
of Rubi-Ka's largest franchise operations, including Bronto
Burger and Mongol Meat has made its members some of the riches
people on Rubi-Ka.
It is with some surprise we find the CEO of Vandelmar
himself is linked with the plot. The remaining members of the
Vandelmar Consortium where quick to distance its self form CEO
and offer its prayers and support to Omni-Tek.
|
29476 Omni-1 Omni-Tek officials
confirmed reports that nine-year-old Pattie Meloche,
niece of the influential Omni-Tek PR director Derva
Meloche, was kidnapped earlier today.
The situation occurred in the popular Rompa Bar in
the evening. An agent of the Vandelmar Consortium,
Rosario Dopleni, took the child from a restroom, and
fled the scene of the crime. Security officials pursued
him, but lost track of him a few blocks away. Following
the kidnapping, a general alert was issued, and Omni-Pol
was dispatched throughout the city to discover her
whereabouts. Initial searches where unsuccessful, and a
private detective was called in to assist in the
operation.
A few hours later, Omni-Tek leaders stumbled across
Vinlero Baldero, and apparently tried to force a
confrontation. Details are still sketchy, but most
reports indicate they followed him back to a building
rented to the Vandelmar Consortium in Western Newland,
and attempted to enter.
Security droids intercepted the group of Omni
leaders, and dispatched them.
Following the first unsuccessful incursion, several
individuals were seen leaving the building, among them,
Omni-Tek official Kithrak.
He denied any requests for an official statement
regarding his presence inside the facility.
Newland Security spotted Vinlero fleeing the facility
with a small child, identified as Patty Meloche. He fled
the scene, and Omni-Tek and Newland Security have issued
warrants for his arrest, and the arrests of anyone
connected with the crime. Clariee Giscombe, now acting
CEO of the Vandelmar Consortium, released the following
statement to the press.
"The Vandelmar Consortium is deeply concerned
and saddened by the recent events involving our former
CEO, Vinlero Baldero. I have known Vinlero for many
years, and never would I have suspected him capable of
such acts against the innocent people of Rubi-Ka. My
prayers go out to Derva Meloche whose niece, Pattie, was
the latest victim of Vinlero's dealings in the
underworld. I can assure both Ms. Meloche and the public
that the Vandelmar Consortium will do everything in its
power to find Vinlero, bring him to justice, and bring
Pattie safely home to her Omni-Tek family. I can also
say with solid conviction I will see to it that the
Vandelmar Consortium is rebuilt, and the corruption
purged from within. I also wish to thank the Consortium
for its faith in nominating me the new Chief Executive
Officer, in reforming the Consortium as the premihre
alliance of independent merchants on Rubi-Ka."
At the time of publication, the Rubi-Ka Times was
unable to contact Vinlero for a comment. Omni-Pol has
released a statement stating Vinlero is "An
extremely dangerous man" and ordered citizens to
report any information concerning him to a local Omni-Tek
officer.

Diamondcut
linked to the Dust Brigade and TBA in the picture too ?
Posted by Kirrana
Wed,
06 March 2002 24:00:00
Universal
Last night I left out one
detail in my report on
Diamondcut a detail I thought at the time unimportant
because at the time it made no sense. But he told us not to
worry about events in the club but we should be more worried
about events in Newland.
At the time I knew nothing of the
events in Newland, and how could I as they were going on at
the same time I was talking to Diamondcut. So how did he
know about an event 200 miles away unless of course he at
least know about the attack by Dust Brigade before it was to
happen. Given his last name one might event suspect he was a
part of the dust brigade
 |
During an interview with Meister from
Omni-Pol about the events with Diamondcut he explained
what happened before I arrived. |
Razorgil, Meister,
Lordmithrill and Zentopia of Omni-Pol |
"After this, we went over to Diamondcut, Ugluk and Nettie to see what they were talking about and if anything suspicious
about their meeting.
Kirrana: Well given that Ugluk was there
from TBA, do you think he was there to meet Mr diamondcut ?
Meister: Yes, most certainly.
Meister: This is also certain because of
the meeting between Shadow Company, The Night Assault Legion
and TBH after we left Baboons.
Meister:
Nettie, leader of Shadow Company and Ugluk, leader of the
Night Assault Legion were involved with Diamondcut. This was
apparent when we asked them what was going on."
To
be fair I did question Ugluk who did not deny that he was
meeting Diamondcut.
"Kirrana: Can you explain what you where doing in here last night ?
Ugluk: I was there to protect my interests, and have a talk with
Mr.Duster.
Kirrana: So you don't deny the fact you where meeting Mr Duster then ?
Ugluk: No, not at all. "
After questioning him further I found his
view extreme but not shocking from a member of TBA
"The Dust Brigade my personal view I think that OT should not help clanners to get rid of them. OT should just act defensive and either the Dust
Brigade will destroy the Clans or the Clans will win and will be very weak, that's when we hit them and terminate them all."
To be fair when questioned about the link
between the Dust Brigade, Diamondcut and TBA he reposnsed
"TBA is NOT working with the Dust Brigade."
and he seemed genuinely shocked by claims that Daimondcut
could be linked to Dust Brigade.
While I do not have 100% proof Diamondcut
is apart of Dust Brigade from what we have learnt so far points to
this. The same is true of TBA to be fair I don't think they
are knowing linked to the dust brigade, but there relationship
with diamondcut does raise some interesting questions to be
asked.
With Meister hot on the the tail of
Diamondcut perhaps its only a matter of time before hes
brought in to be asked these questions.
As Meister said himself
"However, seeing that he fled, as well
as the message he sent me after his escape, it is certain that he has something to hide, and we will find out what this little secret is."
I am sure we would all love to know what
this secret is.

in Turn Around

In a state of some confusion
TBA have retracted their statement on the strike. TBA acting
public relations officer Reznoir tried to clear up the matter
and refuted the validity of the first statement. This action
has lead to Tisantous being removed from the role and even TBA.
|
Acting director of public relations for
THB/TBA, Trent "Reznoir" Sotto today denied
that TBA are on strike.
Reznoir
refutes the information printed in the Rubi-Ka Times two
days ago, and hits out at former department member Sid Tisantous
Saar. "In no way, shape or form was Tisantous
(former member and Directior of Public Relations for the
TBA) ever given authorisation to say that the TBA was
going on strike, we have no intention to go on strike
now or in the near future," Reznoir stated.
The news comes in the wake of Tisantous' resignation
from the TBA. "I had observed TBA for some time and
was sickened by their constant attack on their own
brethren and our beloved leader Mr. Ross, Then they
attacked the very law force that protects us all. That
is when I had seen enough and knew something had to be
done," Tisantous commented when asked about his
resignation.
Tisantous claims to have infiltrated TBA over the
course of a few weeks in order to undermine its
operation. "I acted in the best interest of the
company, compromising my morals and standards to rid
Omni-Tek in some form of this traitorous faction,"
he added.
TBA refuted the validity of Tisantous' statements and
spoke out in defense of its members. "We would also
like to state for the record that Tisantous was also
going around posing as an Official for both the TBH and
TBA which he was not and that anything he has done was
unauthorized by the TBH/TBA. He has since been handled
accordingly and is no longer a member of the TBH/TBA.
We apologise for any inconvenience to all TBA members
and associates affected by this issue and we would like
to express our gratitude to all the many people that
stand with us in our cause."

However what I find strange
is that it took almost 2 full days for TBA to retract this
statement. If it was incorrect why the delay, and why the TBA
guilds have a meeting before a retraction was made. I can only
guess but to me it appears not all TBA guilds are thinking
along the same lines and the retracted statement is an appeasement
to the less extreme guilds. It could of course just be one
rogue PR person acting on his own I guess we will never know ?

As some of you may already know in addition to the work I
do as a reporter I also look after the club baboons. I have
been doing it and running events for so long that it feels
like I own the club. But in truth this is rather big headed of
me as the club has and always will belong to the people of
Rubi-ka. I sort of look after the admin side of things.
I had heard rumors in the last few days of a chap called
Dave "Diamondcut" Duster (erm duster where have we
heard that name before oh well) has claimed to of taken
ownership of the club. Tonight I found out these rumors
had some truth as I meet up with Mr Diamondcut who you can see
from the photo is not a nice sort of chap you want running
anything let alone a club like baboons.
 |
As Mr Diamondcut put in a slang accent
rather like the old east end London gangster "I'm
'ere to run this place now".
Yes quite as the typical gangster he
went on to offer bribes to the Omni-Pol officer Razorgil
whom to the respect of the crowd turn down Diamonds
offer.
I suggested that Mr Ross might not
take kindly to Mr Diamond stepping in and just taking
over the club, a move which is sure to upset a
population already not a 100% behind Mr Ross. To my
surprise this did little to stop him as he explained.
"Mr Ross condones my actions...
" |
Dave "Diamondcut" Duster |
|
I find it hard to believe Mr Ross would let such a person
take ownership of the club one might have thought him rather
more worried about the latest guild actions than entertainment
ones.
Diamondcut and his hired bodyguard Jaalen did go with Omni-Pol
who put them under arrest to take them into Omni HQ for
further questioning. However Diamondcut was able to somehow
able to vanish around the omni ent wompa while jaalen appeared
to use some illegal speed stim enabling him to out run me.
So at present these two criminals remain at large and the mystery
of Diamondcut's appearance on Rubi-ka continues.
Tomorrow I hope to speak to Meister head of
Omni-Pol to see if I can get his view of events and hopefully
shed some light on the subject.

TBA
Public Relations Officer Interviewed

In something of a first for the Omni-Tek Command site we have
our first interview kindly granted to us by Tisantous public
Relations Officer. I am sure you will agree it makes
interesting reading.
Alright, for the record, I am Sid Tisantous Saar, Director of TBA Public Relations
Kirrana: I am Kirrana and for the purpose of this meeting a reporter for the Omni tek grid site Omni command
Kirrana: Ok so I guess I should start as to why TBA thinks a strike is in order at this time ?
 |
Tisantous: TBA feels it is best to lay down our arms and withdraw all services to Omni-Tek in order to send a clear, stern message to Mr. Ross that we will not tolerate inaction towards clan threats that continue to grow, that we will not allow further lack of action in our Administration. If he wishes for Omni-Tek to be
defended and this strike to end, he must act and respond.
Kirrana: But have TBA not always wished to see the clan
destroyed despite Ross's attempt at peace with the clans why should you chose this time to make such as demand ?
Tisantous: Simply put, TBA has grown weary of seeing the severe lack of leadership. We are a collective of action, as all employees who work for Omni-Tek are, however a being can only beat his head against the brick wall for
so long until he sees that it hurts, and a new course of breaking down that wall is needed. Mr. Ross needs to support and back up his employees, not just
pacify us with charismatic words, remember "actions speak louder than words" |

Tisantous: We at TBA feel that this may happen to awaken the powerful leader we know, and cause him to act and protect his
commodity
Tisantous: That is the sole purpose for this Strike.

Tisantous: We at TBA feel that this may happen to awaken the powerful leader we know, and cause him to act and protect his
commodity
Tisantous: That is the sole purpose for this Strike.
Kirrana: We have heard about splits in TBA, with some guilds not fully supporting some actions as the attack
on Omni Pol. Are all TBA guilds fully behind this strike ?
Tisantous: As of right now, all of TBA is on strike. Those rumors shall end now. TBA will remain and thrive and continue to influence Rubi-Ka for the betterment of Mr.Ross and Omni-tek Corp.
Tisantous: But sometimes tough love is in order.
Kirrana: TBA have been rather out spoken about Ross in the past. This has angered many of the other Omni-tek guilds. OTSEC have been so upset by your actions as enforce a trade ban on TBA. Are you not worried about causing more splits in Omni-Tek and play into the hand of the clans.
Tisantous: I can not deny that TBA has had strong opinions about Ross, and
perhaps at the time they were not handled accordingly, but that was before I arrived. As for OTSEC, if the commanders of this faction wish to see more internal disputes and petty
squabbling amongst Omni-Tek employees, then by all means enforce a trade ban, TBA will not suffer as a result and will continue on as usual. It is now that we, as employees, must stand and unify, all differences aside, and make certain our leaders have our best
interest at heart.
Kirrana: So you talk of action from Ross and Omni-Tek but what do you expect him and Omni-Tek to do ?
Tisantous: To increase security in Omni-tek territories, to investigate any clan terrorist threats, to send military forces to terminate all opposition, and above all to dig into and uncover the link
between the Council of Truth, Dust Brigade, Red Freedom, and Sol Banking.
Kirrana: Those are rather big claims to make does TBA have any proof to back up these links ?
Tisantous: Certainly.
Kirrana: Are you willing to share this information with the rest of
Rubi-ka such a claim is bound to upset the clans and Sol Banking.
Tisantous: I have a detailed report of my eye witness accounts that link the Council of Truth and Henry Radiman with Red Freedom and a third party. As far as sharing it with the public, if Omni-Tek and Mr. Ross wish to see this report, as I have made them aware of it, they may contact me and I will gladly deliver. Or
perhaps you would like a copy?
Kirrana: Yes I would be interested as I am sure Mr Ross would be to, not to mention the guild leaders and the rest of
rubi-ka
Tisantous: Well then, I call it "The Tisantous Report" And
perhaps I can arrange a copy to come across your desk shortly at the conclusion of this interview.
Kirrana: OK one last question then. Ross is not known for giving into threats or even talking when such responses are made. The question is what will TBA do next if Ross and Omni-Tek fails to meet your demands ?
Tisantous: I promise this: If Ross and Omni-Tek fail to respond and act accordingly, TBA will act for them. How I can not detail, but I assure you, it will be severe. The strike will continue, but there will be TBA action, mark my words.
Kirrana: Thanks for taking the time to grant me an interview I am sure people will now have a better understanding of TBA position. I guess we will all wait until Ross responses.
Tisantous: Indeed.

In response to TBA's strike
Equimon of Great Paladine Core has condemmed the strike,
claiming TBA's past action of attacking the Omni guards is
perhaps one reason they have not been to deal with the clan
attacks. However he has come out in support of TBA's request
to see more action from Ross. This could turn out to be rather
a bad week for Mr Ross and its only Tuesday.
|
To Mr.Tisantous and the TBA: Strike?
Omni-Pol doing nothing?
Well, if your other TBA friends wasn't so busy
attacking Omni-Pol guards we'd actually get the job
done. Just look at the day when Commander Scarney got
attacked by Azazzel!
In the heart of Omni-1 Entertainment. Do you call that
justified?
We at Great Paladine Core don't think it is. And I
think I speak for a lot out there when we want Omni-Pol
to act, and most of all Phillip Ross. But TBA going on
strike is not even worth it. I'd really like to know why
you guys are attacking guards, Scarney and other people
in Omni-Tek. Just because clanners kill our employees,
doesn't mean you have to.
To CEO Phillip Ross: You to need to come to a
conclusion soon, and act. We can not sit idly by and
wait for things to happen. And I urge Omni-Pol to seek
out and find Dust Brigade bases/headquarters. Enough
lifes, both Omni and clanners, as well as neutrals have
gone lost due to the Dust Brigade assassinations and
raids.
Just think of this: We get Dust Brigade raiding as
far as into the heart of Omni-1 Entertainment, killing
dozens upon dozens of people. They even got as far as
our OTFL meeting a few weeks ago. And still you have no
leads?
At least someone have to make a statement soon. What
about those poor souls either too old or too young for
insurance technology?
Another thing is...why hasn't TBA been apprehended
for attacking Omni-Tek presonnel and Omni-Pol Commander
Scarney?
Lets hope CEO Ross and Omni-Tek will take action
soon. If not...we'll have to either take our own action,
as I regret to say, as TBA is. I just hope I never have
to cross Omni-Tek to protect my own department, but as
of now, that is what is starting to happen.
If neutrality was an option I'd be having a pawn shop
in Newland years ago.

TBA
on Strike: A Message to Ross
Posted by Kirrana
Mon, 04 March 2002
00:00:00
Universal
The organization, The
Black Alliance a collection of some 10 guilds have announced
due to a lack of action from Omni-Tek CEO Philip Ross they
have decided to go on strike. In an act of defiance they have
downed arms and with drawn their services from Omni-Tek until
Mr Ross takes action against what TBA claim are growing
clan threats.
|
There comes a
time when the senseless slaughter of innocent Omni-Tek
employees becomes too much to bear. When we see our own
law enforcement sitting back with their hands beneath
them while lives are lost daily at the hands of clan
members, it is a sad day.
And when the leaders of our
great company sit idly by while the loyal Omni employees
suffer and become targets for clan terrorism, that is
when we must draw the line.
Mr. Philip Ross, to you we
implore: Do not just speak with a few charismatic words,
but act. To this date we have not seen you in any way
send militaristic operations to respond to any of the
growing clan threats. And for this we, The Black
Alliance, officially go on strike. It shall be this way
until you Mr. Ross not only speak with promised actions,
but also, then produce the actual response so we may
once again feel that we have you and Omni-Pol for
support. Until then, TBA will no longer offer its
services to respond to any clan attacks on Omni-Tek, and
we urge all Omni-Tek employees to stand and shout in one
voice that we require more than just words, we require
swift and stern action from our leader and commander,
Mr. Philip Ross. It seems that the ultimatum given weeks
ago only spurned another verbal response, thus far no
increase in security, no efforts to investigate clan
terrorism or its ties with the Council of Truth, and no
steps taken to end the murdering of Omni employees. Is
this what you envisioned Mr. Ross?
It is time you take action sir,
and we promise that when you do we shall return to duty
as we always have. But until then, we withdraw our
services in full. We call for your response and action
Mr. Ross.
From
-Sid Tisantous Saar Director of TBA Public
Relations

At the present time Ross has failed to comment on this
issue but he is bound to be concerned at this turn of events.
There has already been splits between the Omni-Tek guilds in
disagreements on the clan situation, this latest move is bound
to fuel the requests from the other guilds for the removal of
TBA from Omni-Tek.

Splits
in OTSEC leads to confusion on Trade Boycott
Posted by Kirrana
Mon, 04 March 2002

Universal
In a surprising
turn of events the trade boycott announced by Miester of OTSEC
is not as clear cut as it seems. It appears Miester has rather
spoken out of turn which perhaps hints at underlying
differences in OTSEC guilds. OTSEC member and guild leader of
Omni Shadow Ops Zyxlquith has tried to clear up the matter by explaining
OTSEC was looking to release an official press item later in
the week. Hinting at what this press release may contain
Zyxlquith explains. "the trade boycott is just a recommendation
to the OTSEC guild members some but by no means all TBA
members would qualify as criminals"
The purpose
of which is to highlight to Omni-Tek guilds that past actions
of TBA will not be stood for by OTSEC. I got the feeling that
boycott has been a measure to placate the more active guilds
in OTSEC also. So it would appear for Miester at least this
did not go far enough and he decided to take the matter into
his own hands.
TBA have
shown little concern over this ban, General Spydervenom of TBA
is quoted as saying "TBH is a self-contained
guild. We have no need to rely on anybody else to purchase
equipment, buffs."
I am sure this battle is not just going to disappear I
guess we all hold our breath until the OTSEC press release
comes out.

OTSEC
Enforces Trade Boycott on TBA
Posted by Kirrana

In a move
which is bound to increase tensions between the the Omni-Tek
factions the newly formed Omni-Tek
Security Council (OTSEC) have announced its members are to
withdraw from trading with any guilds in TBA. This act
comes on the back of TBA's run in with Omni Pol a few weeks
ago. However TBA subsequent to this action announced a non aggression
pact, while Omni-Pol where quiet on such matters it appears
OTSEC remains unconvinced by this and still regards Azzazel
and Ugluk as criminals.
