Last Night Shiver Precinct 2815 was the scene of a protest by the Shivers themselves, angry about Karma's new Shock Wave Stormer Variant. Introduced last week by Karma as 'the Future of Law Enforcement', the
behavior of these three metre high behemoths has been vastly improved following their initial introduction last week.  The Shivers angry at Karma's success were demonstrating against the field tests that were being
undertaken on the variants from the precinct.
  Karma Spokesperson Dr. Kal Wright said that although he understood the Shivers concerns of replacement this was not what Karma had in mind for
the Shock Waves.  'The 214 (Shock Waves) have been designed to work alongside normal Shiver units in riot situations.  Their size and strength allows them to protect key points and to hold onto arrest subjects, but they
are not yet as flexible in riot situations as a normal Shiver.' Dr. Wright also outlined that Karma has proposed the use of Shock Waves for fire service as well as for civilian roles such as doormen or bodyguards. -Monica Weathers, SCL 7C, Mort Times

  Early this week, SFL President Tom Landry, made a divisional break between teams to make the game more competitive.  Each division would compete against other teams in the same division with divisional playoffs every 3 months for a shot at the current champion of the other division. The first such playoff will be on March 26th, 901.  The division breaks are:
  Galaxy Football Champions (GFC)- K'n'th Sevens, Meny Rangers, Mort Marauders, OC Giants, Orienta Athletics, Parisian Lancers, Polo Icebergs, and Static Interference.
  Universe Football Champions (UFC)- Arboroath Berserkers, Artery Stomers, Borean Snow, Dante Warmongers, Furnace Heat, Rust Greasers and Twilight Jazz.
  President Landry assures that this move will allow for future franchise grow and continued entertainment for everyone. -Sara Brynt, SCL 7C, Third Eye News 
  

  With Winter Warfare well on its way and many companies releasing their various styles and weapons fro the operative, Asgardian Designs re-releases their Multi Jolt Orbital Linear Nemesis Immediate Return system or MJOLNIR.  Fixing several power problems and electrical difficulties, Asgardian Designs reshapes the combat field for the operatives with a style and class that only the truly deified can achieve.  
  The MJOLNIR weapon system is a power hammer with an onboard flight system similar to the Silverback as well as several accessories including hotline defensive devices, signature and full customizable effects, and recognition capabilities that make this weapon a glory to behold.

  Three years ago Runnymede was nothing in the World of Progress, just a little mud ball lost somewhere in space. Its human population was low tech, knowing nothing of the wonders of Progress. No TV, no guns, no factories, you can easily imagine how dull their life was.
  Then came SLA Industries' people. They met with the many lords of Runnymede and show them what SLA could bring them. As powerful as they were on their world, the Runnymede's lords marveled at all the might of SLA Industries and quickly accepted the PPP contract.  Before SLA could install its first settlement on the planet, troubles arose. Darknight infiltrators had found their way to the planet and were trying to turn the lord of one of the biggest kingdoms against SLA colonies. Fortunately some inhabitants of this kingdom, knowing well what was good for their future, informed SLA Industries of what was going on. The answer of from the Department of War came quickly.  Before the DN controlled lord could do anything,  his kingdom was wiped away with the deadliest of forces.
  Soon after, all the lords swear fealty to SLA Industries. Since then, prosperity and progress have has come to Runnymede. The local population being strong and very motivated has caused more and more companies to build factories on the planet. Dark Teutonic Design, the much appraised weapon manufactured, even moved its headquarter to Runnymede to come be nearer to what they call 'the epitome of the spirit behind our weapons design'.
  The original political and social structures of the planet were kept as they were before the PPP contract. But now the SLA administration helps the Runnymede lords to run their kingdom with more efficiency. As you can see, Progress is making Runnymede a part of its world, but without sacrificing the culture of the planet, a big success for both SLA Industries and Runnymede. -Francois Lalande, SCL 7D, Mort Times

Each week we look at one of many people who live and work in the World of Progress.

This week: Downtown Fast Food Vendor

=========

MT: Name?
SY: Shinjo Yamataki, but people just call me Shin.

MT: What do you do, Shin?
SY: I operate "Yuk's Noodles".

MT: "The Staple Food for the Operative on the Run" goes the jingle. I've seen the adverts.
SY: We're known all over. Ever since our first stand opened, we've been popping up more frequently than a Contract Killer with a vengeance, heh, heh.

MT: It's a dangerous place to operate a business, especially with stands so
close to the outer perimeter. How do you survive?
SY: Since we first came on the market, people have attached a certain loyalty to our label. Even the gangs keep us safe. Who needs private security when your customers are so protective!

MT: What makes Yuk's Noodles stand out over the other fast-food chains?
SY: We make good noodles.

MT: Is it a family secret?
SY: Not even IA can get that information. Just Kidding. It's classified, heh, heh.

MT: What kept you from taking on such a venture in the past? I mean, Yuk's
Noodles is a hit all over Mort, so where were you two years ago?
SY: We tried our hand at several failed food chains, like "Chunk Burger",
"Happy Hands" and "Tornado Burritos", but, as you can tell by the not so well known names, none of them took off. "Yuk's Noodles" is catchy. And we have really good noodles!

MT: You mentioned that.
SY: Oh, sorry. Well it's true! Plus, there's no wait, so when you order,
it's ready to go. That's why SLA Ops like us so much. We also package our to-go containers in a special, low-cost, high-impact shell that can withstand a standard bullet. We've heard reports that the shell has saved many an Op's dinner. That makes me happy. It's a patent from a Karma owned subsidiary.

MT: So you have business contacts with Karma? Seems an odd match-up.
SY: Well, I could get into the nitty-gritty, but that would be violating
Non-Disclosure Agreements.

MT: Do you think Yuk's Noodles has what it takes to stick around in this competitive market?
SY: Of course we do. Everyone likes Yuk's! Watch for a new sponsorship campaign starting soon. We've already enlisted several well known SLA Ops, as well as some new SCL 10'ers fresh from Meny.

MT: Sounds like Yuk's has what it takes then.
SY: Sure does. And we have really good noodles!

MT: Thanks for your time.
SY: No problem. Don't forget your noodles on the way out!

Dear Love goddess.
Please help me, It's my brother, he is making a terrible mistake, but I just
can't get him to listen to me. We are human and he has fallen for this Ebon beauty. Only I've heard what she says about him behind his back and she is just stringing him along until the money runs out. I tried to talk to him about this but he says I am just being racist. What can I do?
Concerned Sister.

Dear Concerned Sister.
This is a head and the heart thing, and it seems your brother may be listening with neither. If you try and force the issue, without any firm evidence to back up your claim, it will only split you apart. The best thing is to stick close to your brother and be there to pick up the pieces.
Just make sure he doesn't hand her the family jewels.
Love goddess.
