Governor Parsons Imposes Sanctions on American Commonwealth; Encourages Others to Do Same

Posted Image

In response to the American Commonwealth (otherwise known as 'Grand North America') adopting a policy of 'apartheid', similar to that of the former South Africa in the Earthly 20th Century, our Governor, Freddie Ja'Darius Parsons, has announced that the Terran Contingent will impose sanctions, effective immediately, on the country.

Interviewed while browsing his local bookstore, the Governor was quoted as saying:

"I cannot, in good conscience, allow trade, or indeed relations at all, to continue between the American Commonwealth and the Terran Contingent. I have also reached out to the Supreme of the Rhodigai, the great Skylar Cheeseman, encouraging him to up the sanctions to the entire Federation.

From this point forward, relations between the Rhodigai and the Americans do not exist. Period. This shit's unacceptable.

We welcome any Americans who are as disgusted with their government's actions as we are to emigrate to the Terran Contingent. If the American government restricts this flow of refugees--one that will surely be like a torrent-- an 'underground railroad' of sorts will be established within their country, which will likely end in the Rhodigai border town of Jakeville, where we have facilities to handle such a terminus.

And if the American government decides to clamp down on that, well... it'll be war, y'all."

By order of the Governor, all Terran Rhodigai, with the exception of Rhodigai Intelligence Department (RID) personnel, are banned from the American Commonwealth, also effective immediately. With the likely coming decision of Supreme Cheeseman, this will be expanded to all Rhodigai.

Any Rhodigai citizens--dual or otherwise--that remain in the American Commonwealth after two weeks have elapsed will have their citizenship revoked, and will be subject to arrest and prosecution if they set foot on Rhodigai territory again.

Following Terran Governor's Lead, Supreme Declares Federation-Wide Sanctions on American Commonwealth

Posted Image
Rhodigai Supreme Skylar Cheeseman

According to the Supreme, at a press conference at the Rhodigai Central Capitol, "it was a no-brainer."

In this case, he was referring to his decision to upgrade Governor Parsons' sanctions to the entire Rhodigai Federation.

"It's a shame, too. Many Rhodigai, even from off- world, absolutely loved to see wonders such as the Grand Canyon and the Great Salt Lake. But, what is wrong, is wrong. Rhodigai-American relations are hereby cut off, until they reverse their decision to impose an 'apartheid' policy. Segregation is wrong, period, and it impedes progress. This is common sense.

Anyone who doubts this need only look at the big, still-slightly-radioactive crater in the Caninian Contingent, which also happens to be my home Contingent. Sure, the city of Oseaton has since been rebuilt elsewhere, but that only enhances my point--it shouldn't have happened in the first place.

The Oseaton Crater is large enough to be seen from orbit around the Cafelican homeworld, millions of years after the strike which devastated the Caninian capital city.

But it did, nonetheless. The Felinians got sick of the treatment they were getting from the Caninians under the old military government, 'led' by Commander Rufus, and they launched a two hundred megaton nuke. This thing leveled Oseaton in less than a minute, killing tens of millions.

Why all this damage? Well, there were no Felinians there! They were forbidden from living within a hundred miles of the place!

But I digress. My declaration shall, hopefully, set an example for other countries and nations to follow."

This mega-city of almost two billion is the center of the Rhodigai Federation. The Rhodigai Central Capitol Building is visible to the right-of-center in the distance.

'Landspout' Tornado Touches Down in Outer New Greenwood; R*K75,350 in Damage Reported

Posted Image
The landspout immediately before it destroyed the Smithers' barn.

As the Rhodigai know full well, landspout tornadoes--tornadoes that spawn from non-supercellular thunderstorms, and sometimes just plain old cumulus--are commonplace in the Terran Contingent.

Today, one touched down in the Chestnut Farms district of our capital, New Greenwood, in the far southern agricultural zone of the city.

It started with a small, single-cell thunderstorm that formed in the south-west of the Chestnut Farms district, then moved northeast--very similar behavior to the other showers and storms that form on a typical warm, humid day in the capital.

This one, however, managed to get some wind shear going, which led to the updraft developing a rotation signature. This, in turn, led to the formation and touchdown of this landspout.

It touched down across the street from the Lamplight Unitarian Universalist Chruch, and proceeded on a kilometer-long, 15-minute track across mostly farm fields. The 75,350 knots in damage mainly came from the destruction of a barn and hen house on the Smithers Farm, located on Lamplight Road, as well as from some street lights that were knocked down.

Explosion Rocks Parts of Southeast Portland; Cause Traced to Child's Chemistry Experiment Mistake

Posted Image

This morning at 9:23, a large explosion was reported in the Latimer district of Portland. The "boom" was powerful and loud enough to be heard as far away as the intersection of SE 2034th and James.

Immediately, speculation abounded. Was it a terrorist attack? Did a craft crash? Was it a sonic boom? Did one of the SkyStriker satellites fire a rogue shot on our own turf?

Fortunately, it was none of those. It had its origin from Janet Krellson and a big mistake during her daily chemistry experiment.

9-year-old Krellson, a Latimer resident and daughter of Ted Krellson, a chemistry teacher at Latimer High School, inherited a love of science from her parents. According to Portland Fire Department officials, Janet meant to prepare a sugar-water solution, but instead of grabbing twenty pounds of sugar for her water, she grabbed twenty pounds of pure sodium.

Pure sodium reacts quite violently with water; the explosions scale up with higher volumes of both. In this case, the aforementioned twenty pounds of sodium met forty gallons of water.

Krellson is now in the intensive care unit at Latimer District Hospital, but is expected to recover. The treehouse she used as her laboratory, however, is a total loss, and will have to be rebuilt. Fortunately, the chemical reaction did not start a fire, but instead simply dissipated into the air.

R*K11,000 in damage was reported around Latimer, mainly from windows broken out from the explosion's shock wave. State insurance will cover the costs of repair.

Terran Contingent Governor Announces Rhodigai 'Moon 2' Project

Posted Image

We have breaking news here on RNN Terra. Currently, our Governor, Freddie Ja'Darius Parsons, is about to speak about the largest and most ambitious project the Terran Contingent has ever embarked on. We're going to the Press Room live.

"Homies all around, from the highlands of Oregon to the forests north of our Capital; our expats; and all of our RASCAL peoples around the world and in space--not to mention the rest of the Federation. I greet you today with that Rhodigai love.

Hundreds of millions of years ago, back when the Rhodigai Federation had barely made it out of its own galaxy cluster, a plan was put forth by the then-Supreme Kelly Rae Cheeseman LXXXVII to terraform the five moons of the Rhodigai homeworld, Kanesdor: Nysko, Morau, Shaeren, Morha, and Sanaed.

The transformation she proposed entailed turning these moons from balls of dust and ice with thin excuses for atmospheres into full-on habitable worlds on which for life to flourish. Keep in mind that up to that point, the Rhodigai had only seriously dealt with planets and moons that were already habitable, aside from mining colonies.

The skeptics said it couldn't be done. Supreme Kelly, though, pointed out that we, indeed, had the capacity to make it happen.

One only needs to look at Kanesdor's moons today to see who was right. Over three billion residents, y'all. Three billion. Just on the moons.

Needless to say, we've come tremendous distances in technology and society since then. We've built several whole planets from scratch--planets that now host prosperous, beautiful Contingents like the Wilskar.

The Terran Contingent's plan is this: to build a second moon for Earth--one that's just as habitable and suitable for life as Earth itself. 'Moon 2', if you will.

Starting immediately, we will begin the study and planning stage. We're launching five RASCAL 3s to the existing moon later today, and five more that will orient themselves in five different possible 'Moon 2' orbits. Among the studying and analysis, construction will start on a nuclear/solar hybrid power facility on the Moon that will serve as the power source for the wormhole we'll need to open from the Molycius Contingent's matter manufacturing/conversion facilities. We will also have a good-sized team of scientists doing S&P here on Earth's surface.

After the likely positive result of the planning/analysis stage, we will then proceed with the building.

You know, when I was a kid, I remember when the first Governor of the Terran Contingent, Trayvon Taylor-Cheeseman, dropped by my neighborhood in Missoula to hang out and chat with us locals. He looked me right in the face and told me, 'Throughout the history of the Rhodigai Federation, we've been at the forefront of technological and scientific advancement. Make sure that you, as a Rhodigai citizen, do your part to ensure that stays the case.'

Needless to say, I, along with all the great people of this Contingent and the Federation as a whole, are doing just that. Well, almost all of them, 'cause we do have a 'rebel' problem..."

Boos emanate from the press pool.

"...but, still, most of y'all are cool as hell. Keep it up, and keep it Rhodigai. I'm out."

Rhodigai 'Moon 2' Project Completes Research & Planning Phase; Construction Proceeds

We have breaking news here on RNN Terra. According to the government of the Terran Contingent, the research and planning phase of the 'Moon 2' project has now concluded, and construction will now begin.

For now, details on how exactly the process will continue are not all in. It's safe to say this will be somewhat similar to the previous times the Rhodigai have manufactured new moons for planets, but each individual project must be uniquely tailored to the planet the moon will orbit and the general system and environment it's in.

We are aware, however, that the first step is launching a gravity sphere into the orbit that the new moon will have, which is forecast to occur any moment now. This sphere will ensure that the solid matter teleported in will condense into the new celestial body, and that it will be able to hold an atmosphere when the liquid and solid material is brought in.

Word just arrived that the 'C' orbit has been chosen, and that the RC Thaddeus will be doing the launch quite soon. We will update you when that happens.

This is RNN.
