Tarn Betnetter:Tonight's lead story, Andreyasn Interstellar/Intragalactic Enterprises announced that they will be open-sourcing their controversial alternative hyperdrive in a move to break the wormgate monopoly.
Tarn Betnetter:The Wormgate Corporation responded immediately, denouncing the teraport as unsafe, untested, unreliable, and impossible to regulate. Shares of Andreyasn I.I.E. (Symbol, ASININE) fell 99.965% in a veritable bloodbath of heavy trading.

Tarn Betnetter:In related news, the U.N.S. Security Council announced that it has developed and deployed a system for blocking any teraport activity in populated space.
SFX:BANG
Jun-Lin:Tarn, it looks like the Golbwerians could learn a thing or two from the U.N.S. - this just in- Golbwerian high command's orbital base was vaporized by a conversion bomb. The Creethlings for sovereignty and expansion took credit for the attack, and announced that they can strike any target at will with teraport-enabled missiles.

Tarn Betnetter:Goodnight, folks!
