Ok, here is a contribution to Kody's magazine. I tried to make it so that some other faction members may try to get factional info out of it (base -and unit descriptions). If someone thinks he spotted something in the text that reveals info about us, post it...
quote:
009 received a private summons from 001, something so rare as not to be ignored.
009 had to move from censored (hereby referred to as base  ) to censored (hereby referred to as base  ) since her Network Tag was situated there.
The cloaked foil 009 used in order to get faster in was one of the Unity's pré-dropped foils, converted for use in shallow waters and have less visibility for a dangerous and newly discovered native lifeform, tagged xxx for now.
After a swift journey 009 arrived at the Outward Quay of and received a one-time coded tracker by the QuayJack, which would lead him to 001's booth. Two years had passed since 009 was last in , and quite some changes had happened in that time. The construction site of a DataNet Connector could be spotted on the inland side of the base. Further more the Stealth Antenna from the recently organized CO agency was visible for one who knew what to look for. Bad cloaking on that matter. 009 hoped that in the next decade as new technologies were discovered, the agency wouldn't stick out so easily. Unsurprisingly, the tracker led him to the CO. The size of was still not large enough to have many unsuspicious spots, so 001 must simply not have bothered with misleading sofar. 009 thought that it was unlikely that Chairman Yang's probe teams would be close enough already to easily infiltrate the DataNet, but something must be done about the invisibility anyway in his opinion.
After a short walk, 009 arrived at the frontdoor of the CO, used his tracker for access permission (the DataJack after the monitordesk behind the door could be seen looking aside shortly, and then looked up at the frontdoor before granting access) and entered the building. 009 was waved through by the monitor DataJack and that was it. He took the lift down two levels, stepped out into a dimly illuminated hallway and passed several doors before spotting one with the tag CO-001 next to it. His tracker beeped shortly to let him know he was on the right spot. The door hissed open, 009 stepped through and heard a voice saying: "Welcome DataJack 009, I expected you. Please sit down and I'll tell what I summoned you for..." |

On the presumption that we IC narcisstically, they'll work it all out pretty damn quick.
We'd have to change codes every 4 days.

Geomodder,
Sorry about the time delay, I haven't been in a writing mood recently. I'll see what I can put together.

A second story for the Pholus Newscast for clearance, grammar corrections are welcome... 
quote:
009 watched 024 and 042 stop beside him before taking a last look at
It would be a while before he saw the base back, being asked to escort 024 and 042 on the first part of their mission, and to report back to 001 upon his return not only for how the mission started but to map the terrain inbetween as well...
009 drinked in the view, sighted, and stepped in the speeder with the other two operatives. The first two days they would pass known terrain since earlier scouts already made quite some reports about this part of Planet. He didn't envy their part of the mission since it was not only dangerous, but might be suicidial as well knowing the historic mores within the target, labeled  for now. But those two where the only operatives within the Angels with the perfect background to blend in. So at least they had a chance, and the potential rewards of having them in would be tremendous.
After some days driving the landscape changed tremendously. On the coastal plains where was situated only a hint of the highland after it could be seen on the horizon, but after crossing the barrier the land became truly alien. It was dryer uphere, the barrier ranges stopped a lot of the sweeping rainstorms offen experienced. Beside the occasional snowflake (much colder on the plateau) no downpour happened here. The native growth known as Xenofungus had other proportions as well. In the lowlands around it was only low growth, not higher then bushsize and patched here and there. But uphere it became a forest on his own, not only in size, but as well in covering the plateau. Luckily the fungal outcrops only happened on sunlit places. The terrain was criscrossed by crevices and narrow ravines, making it possible to negate the Fungal forests. 009 took vidfeeds from the land as they passed by.
>fung_sm.pcx picture<
The ravines had their own hazards of course, but the rovers' balloon tires were made to deal with small rubble. Luckily the route they found through this labyrinth wasn't blocked by large boulders. Erosion was only a slow mechanism here.
After crossing the fungal plateau the land descended once more into gentle slooped valleys with the occasional river meandering through it. This would be a prime site for future colonisation, that was sure. But this also meant that the target was near now. The coordinates indicated by rogue transmissions from the target were near now...
Finally, at the fifteenth day of their journey, they found it, . It lay halfway a broad river and a stipendous mountain range behind it. It was time for business now. 042 and 024 dressed in their camouflage outfit, while 009 checked for a vantage point on which he could follow their progress towards . After all preparations were done, both operatives hiked down, using the land to approach the base unspotted. 009 could spot their progress without much trouble. After a few hours he observed both 024 and 042 near an unobtrusive entrance point, saw them opening it, and disappearing... 024 and 042 had now accomplished the first part of their mission, but for all outsider purposes, they just had vanished in the bowels of the Hive. Hopefully it wouldn't be permanent...

I would avoid screenshots of the game like that. Using graphics from the game is okay, but if you start taking game screenshots like that it will start people thinking that this has some ingame relevance.
I've got an interesting military looking base entrance that is dug into a mountain I can give you. I'll see if I can find something else I can add.

One Hivish looking base coming up.
By the way I'm not sure when the next newscast will be. I've been kindof busy recently with work.
