"Now for the latest news, global tensions are still on the rise as the latest reports come out about resource scarcity. The latest reports indicated a 60-80% decrease in mineral amounts below a depth of 5km. Geologist and other scientists are at a loss to explain why there seems to be such a difference between previously predicted mineral deposits. What do you think Coire?"

"I don't know about you Cortney but it certainly seems straightforward to me. All these scientists have been saying for centuries how our planet was structured; now that we are actually there, they come up short. This isn't the first time in recent years they've been proven wrong, remember Global Warming?"

"Come now Coire I'm sure the scientific community doesn't want to keep rehashing that old thing, I've certainly gotten tired of it, and I'm sure our viewers have as well. 

Also in today's news, there has been another increase in the withdrawal of foreign military from other nations. We've reached out to our military contacts, and are only being told that this is part of a global decision to reduce tensions across all nations."

"Since when have all of the nations agreed on anything Cortney? I think this may be our nation finally taking steps to protecting our own resources, as well as reducing the outrageous military spending; other nations are simply following our lead"

"Well whatever the reason may be, I'm sure we will be reporting on it as it happens, when it happens. Next up is Bob with next week’s forecast."

"Thanks Cortney, we can look forward to a nice local 8-month high of -5 C..."

"Now for the latest news, the Aurauns have finally begun their takeover of the planet designated N-041-R; the most recent world their scouts have discovered."

"I'm not surprised So'Ran, they've been dealing with population pressures for several centuries. It's not that common for a habitable world with a Neon atmosphere to be found."

"That's certainly true Kir'na; however, they won't be able to Seek Dominion for the planet as easy as you may think. We've just received word that a Vorian fleet arrived and has also begun preparations for takeover of the planet."

"Well that confrontation should be interesting. Those races have been in constant conflict for the better part of a millennium; ever since the Vorians KSed a boss and got the blueprints for their new plasma conduit."

"Ouch, I don't want to be reminded of that battle; the Aurauns should have gotten that drop. Next up is Bob with next week’s spatial forecast"

"Well it's certainly a good forecast, the dimensional disruptions in Quadrant XY9-009 have settled down; which means we can look forward to easier login access  to the area..."
