=== Grey Swan Fleet Destroyed in Shamash ===
[[File:NewsImageWar.png|600px|centre]]
<nowiki>*Pilots’ Federation ALERT*</nowiki>

Crazed pilots that were killing civilians in the Shamash system have been eliminated.

The local security force vessels participating in Fleet Exercise [[Grey Swan]] were exposed to an anomalous signal, which then circulated through the fleet’s networked comms. This apparently triggered a violent mania that caused them to attack passing traffic.

Captain Ulrich Maurer of the megaship Khonsu Gleam announced that an operation to eliminate the threat had concluded:

“All Grey Swan ships have now been targeted and destroyed. Though tragic, this action undoubtedly saved many thousands of lives and has brought peace to the system once more. San Tu State Network, in agreement with Shamash Future, has agreed to reimburse all independent pilots who took part. Payments are available for collection at the Khonsu Gleam.”

Shamash Future confirmed that Garrett Orbital, which was locked down due to several of its crew becoming homicidal, is now functioning as normal. The scars of the survivors may take much longer to resolve, however.

Research has begun into the cause of this event, although few details of note has been identified. One possible explanation was floated by Jaya Chaudhary, host of historical [[Interstellar Common Experience|ICE]]-cast Ghastly Pasts:

“The horror which unfolded in Shamash bears strong similarities to the fate of the [[Generation Ship#Generation Ship Thetis|generation ship Thetis]]. This vessel from the 22nd century was discovered in the Nefertem system in 3303. Logs describe how its entire population turned on each other in a murderous rage, after a signal was picked up while passing an unnamed planet. This ‘whispering’ sound compelled everyone who heard it to kill on sight.”

“The Thetis phenomenon had never been encountered before or since – until now. What was once a chilling tale from the pages of history has become a sickening reality. We do not know where the signal was transmitted, how it interacts with the human mind or whether we’ll encounter it again. These questions are attractive to researchers, but uncovering any answers may prove highly dangerous.”

=== Thargoid Abductees Reconnect with Society ===
[[File:Federal Cityscape.png|600px|centre]]
People who have been rescued from [[Thargoid Titan]]s remain in quarantine, but can soon expect family visits and access to comms networks.

[[Aegis]] reported that [[Thargoid Bio-storage Capsule|bio-storage capsules]] are still being successfully extracted from the Thargoid motherships, albeit at high risk to pilots. Each revived individual has been placed in medical isolation, as per guidance from Aegis specialists.

Deputy [[Alliance Prime Minister|Prime Minister]] [[Angela Corcoran]], who coordinates the [[Alliance]]’s involvement with Aegis, discussed the situation in a session of the [[Alliance Assembly|Assembly]]:

“All abductees are being monitored for signs of [[Thargoid]] physical or mental influence. So far, I’m pleased to say, these test results remain negative. Therefore, those from Allied systems are now permitted to receive visitors, while remaining under strict quarantine conditions. They are also being granted direct access to comms and [[Newsfeed|public media]]. I understand that [[Federation|Federal]], [[Empire|Imperial]] and most [[independent]] authorities will shortly follow suit with their own citizens.”

Director Nassim Qadir, head of medical research at [[Azimuth Biotech]], was quoted in a formal statement from the corporation:

“Isolating all the returnees was prudent, but they should not be treated like normal people. The Thargoids went to great lengths to capture living humans, and we have not yet determined the reason. It’s possible they are acting as carriers of an alien pathogen, or affected in some other way that Aegis’s inferior procedures cannot detect.”

“We propose that Azimuth Biotech takes exclusive control of processing all those recovered from the Titans. We have the techniques, equipment and experience in researching human-xeno interactions. Only after being subjected to an intensive battery of examinations should these subjects have their civil rights and freedoms returned.”

=== Hudson Lays Groundwork for Political Successors ===
[[File:NewsImageSPFederation.png|600px|centre]]
[[President of the Federation|President]] [[Zachary Hudson]] has announced a raft of legislation he intends to push during his last few months in office.

Political journalists have noted that many of the points would benefit the Republican Party while in opposition to the president-elect [[Felicia Winters]] administration. A press release from the Office of the Federal President listed the key initiatives currently underway:

“First: A new media standards agency will be established to regulate independently operated [[newsfeed]]s in Federal systems, to ensure local issues are presented in a format which adheres to Federal values.”

“Second: [[Corporations]] that have exclusive contracts with the Federal government will be granted significant tax rebates, on President Hudson’s executive authority.”

“Third: The [[Federal Navy]] Intelligence Office will establish a data-sharing strategy with the [[Proactive Detection Bureau]]. This will broaden the net to capture even more criminal activity.”

“Fourth: Funding will be granted for a political think tank. This will be a cross-party institute to gather ideas, strategies and research that benefits the entire Federation.”

An editorial in the [[Federal Free Press]] pointed out the potential downsides to each of these initiatives:

“First: [[Sol Today]]’s CEO [[Neive McFarlane]] is on the board of this ‘independent’ regulator, thereby ensuring local newsfeeds will have a pro-Republican voice at the highest level of oversight.”

“Second: Felicia Winters’s administration will be forced to reverse these rebates to cover the loss of tax-generated revenue, which is guaranteed to cause friction with those corporations.”

“Third: The Federal Navy could provide military-grade technology for public surveillance, to bypass legal encryption software used to protect private conversations. It is likely Winters will be furious about this proposal, given her election pledge to dismantle the PDB entirely.”

“Fourth: Outgoing Secretary of State [[Lana Berkovich]] has volunteered to act as this think tank’s [[Federal Congress|congressional]] liaison – and assume the authority to decide which of its reports reach those in power.”

=== Palin Makes Thargoid Spire Breakthrough ===
[[File:NewsImage settlements4.png|600px|centre]]
Analysis of objects and refinery compounds obtained from [[Thargoid spire site]]s has revealed a crucial connection to the [[Thargoid Titan|Titan]]s.

The announcement was made by Professor [[Ishmael Palin]], who has been receiving deliveries of these materials from [[Pilots Federation|Pilots’ Federation]] members:

“Genetic commonalities between the spire compounds and Titan hull fragments have now been verified. My research suggests these surface sites have been established to harvest resources which sustain the Thargoid motherships in some way. It may be that their supplies of some vital enzymes or fuels are running low, after months of being deployed away from their home worlds.”

“To capitalise on this newfound understanding, my team has synthesised a biological contaminant based on the chemical composition of the samples. Introducing this to a spire’s processing chain can only help our efforts to disrupt their invasion plans.”

Dr [[Maximo Fonseca]], the [[Alliance]]’s scientific liaison to [[Aegis]], commented:

“It is important to note that Professor Palin’s work is still in the experimental phase, necessitating further testing. Large quantities of the contaminant will need to be transported to all known spires. This will be a highly dangerous mission, as the sites are aggressively patrolled by Thargoid drones and vessels.”

Aegis has expressed gratitude to everyone who provided samples from the Titans and Thargoid spire sites to Professor Palin in the [[Arque]] system. A special notice was published honouring those pilots who delivered the first and the highest number of items:
