POETRY IN COMMOTION
As seen in the news WORLDWIDE:
Poe Dameron issued a formal apology after the events of the latest import-related anomaly. "I'm sorry my powers went haywire," he told reporters. "Apparently they don't mix with a coma very well. They uh - they should be back to normal now, so. Uh. Yeah. Sorry guys." He could not be reached for further comments. The US Air Force has denied any responsibility in the incident, stating that "as Dameron was wounded in a civilian context, the Air Force has no liability for any damages suffered due to uncontrollable honesty."
FLIPPING THE BIRD
As seen on the internet as a grainy, shaky cellphone video shot in portrait mode:
A green TWO-STORY BIRD and/or GIANT ROBOT WITH WINGS has been spotted in Heropa! Witnesses are unclear as to which. imPorts were spotted entering the abandoned Spout Off!! water park, undoubtedly to confer with the beast. Although first reports to the Heropa Wild Bird Society indicated a four-winged bird, likely of the family Accipitridae, later witnesses reported seeing a giant mechanical construct with wings which did not seem to fit in with the nautical-themed features of Spout Off!!
Avian or android, the entity has not been seen since. However, one local ten-year-old managed to capture an image on his cellphone and has vowed to journey solo across the country in search of more creatures like it.
AMAZONED OUT
As heard on the AM radio airwaves of Jeopardy in repeat:
"Elixir, Intruder Alert."
And then anyone tuning in will hear the following:
BwEEEEOOP! BWeeeooP! BWEEEOOOOOP!
This song for an hour straight.
"Please keep away."
MANOS A LA OBRA
As seen in the local news in Maurtia Falls:
There may be a new strong hand gripping the Maurtia Falls black market. Franklin Duquesne, previously a military officer at the Maurtia Falls Porter Base, dramatically deserted last week while stealing a hover-truck full of high-grade munitions, including power nullifying devices that may give an upper hand against imPorts and a prototype 'Manos Suit' exoskeleton armed with extra pairs of prosthetic limbs. Duquesne, also known as 'Master-at-Arms,' is considered to be multi-armed and extremely dangerous. Police currently have no leads on hand, but believe Master-at-Arms will sell his deadly armaments to other criminals in the Maurtia Falls underworld. The government-funded imPort peacekeeping unit AEGIS FORCE has been handed the task of investigating the case and laying the long arm of the law on Duquesne.
Aegis is busy these days. Sources say the team is currently reaching out and recruiting native agents to lend a helping hand at their headquarters, and that their funding and responsibilities are being expanded in recognition of their achievements to date. So popular is Aegis that they have established a WAIT LIST for prospective imPorts who may want to join the team, as recruitment is currently closed while the team has a full fifteen-member roster.
However, not everyone is a fan of Aegis Force. An online petition from a group calling themselves 'Shieldbreakers' says that Aegis is unnecessary, and point out that they have not yet actually arrested any imPort super-criminals despite the enormous power in their hands. They warn that an imPort paramilitary unit risks subjecting people to strong-arm tactics from an iron-fisted group of superhuman enforcers for the government. At this time, the petition has only a few hundred signatures, but has only begun to circulate.
CODE SWITCH
The Homeland Security Advisory System has moved from TIFFANY BLUE to A WINK OF PINK for reasons that'll give you a heart attack.
