M-Span comments on recent events Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

Thank you for coming Ladies and Gentlemen, I will read a prepared statement, and then take a few questions.

I can confirm the complete destruction of Morgan industries, as well as any number of outlying farms and terraformers. However, and this is quite difficult for me, the evidence shows that there were no survivors of the destruction of our capital. The spartan claims to the contrary are, unfortunately for the family members of everyone in the city on business at the time, false.

The Spartan claims of escaping soldiers is also false, though they possessed superior weaponry then our unarmed civilians, once the realization sunk in that the Spartans were there to slaughter them all, they fought back. A few survivors from the hinterland actions around the capital also report that it was around this time that the younger spartan fighters realized that they had been sent on a suicide mission. It seems only a few of the hard core veteran fighters had known about this,This revelation,ladies and Gentlemen, shocked us all. The spartans at this point turned on each other, destroying each other and a fair number of civilians caught in the crossfire.

MorganLink is now broadcasting our earliest images of the atrocities commited by the spartans, not only on our people, but on their own fighters as well.

Now, what questions can I answer for you...

How many casualties were there in Morgan Industries among the civilian population?

Is the Spartan claim that part of their invading landforces could retreat back to their transport false then?

How could the Corporation know this for sure? A succesfull retreat might have gone unnoticed with the soldiers left behind as an intend to mask those others retreat.

Did the invasion force also destroyed the city's basic utilities like schools, network facilities, creche's and garbage plants on top of 'salting the earth' around it to prevent resettlement of the areay?

Actually I believe those first three pics are from the annual Morgan Industries Executive Board Wine-tasting conference (in quite an advanced stage). In fact if you zoom in real close on the pic from cam 35 you can see the label on a bottle of 2153 Paramiria (very expensive vintage).

Well, judging by how much wine they're spilling all over the place, it looks like everybody is in quite an advanced stage of wine-tasting

As you know our Capital was host to the PTS, it had a population of between 20 and 30 thousand souls, all of which were unfortunately lost.

There is no way that people on foot could make a journey that people in vehicles could not, they got greedy, and stayed too long.

After destroying the City proper they turned their attention to basic farming and terraforming infrastructure,they were under time constraints the whole time, the rest of our defense grid was closing in. As a result they were unable to be as thorough as they'd like, and with advanced terraforming technology we can resettle the area.

Were the Morgan defense forces able to determine what sort of forces the Spartans deployed then? In short, had the Morgans to fight Spartan forces proper in offensive action?

The Spartans deployed atleast 4 elite gattling laser amphibious rovers. As I stated, before our defense grid was able to close in however the spartans had destroyed themselves. The farming/terraforming units were able to get off descriptions of their attackers before they were overwhelmed.

How exactly did the Spartan's manage to breach your expensive walls? Did they use the same weapons they used for attacking general infrastructure on civilians?

gattling lasers are quite capable, unfortunately, of burning through all known materials, or so our engineers tell us.

You sure those engineers weren't affiliated to Sparta Command then? In short, perhaps they were bribed to use substandard materials?

Put an end to popups!

Offense has traditionally been greater then defense, and we are quite sure that the Federation does not possess the resources to bribe any Corporate employees.

And you are sure none did this out of their own free will? Fighting the exploitation imposed by the economic system, perhaps?
