EBN Newsanchor: And now, over to our Wildlife Studio with the latest news on our furry, and shiny friends out there! Over to you, Klaus Hinderbacken!

Klaus: Dr. Elschman Ditrety, you are live with us from your research laboratory. As far as I understand, you are a world renowned entomologist who’s recently moved to Calypso from earth?

Dr. Ditrety: While I would not agree that “recently” is in any way a measureable parameter, that is correct.

Klaus: And I understand you have some interesting news to share with us today?

Dr. Ditrety: Well that all depends on your level of interest, doesn’t it?

Klaus: Well, uh…

Dr. Ditrety: Very well, I know what you want. Yes, it is become apparent that we are now approaching the Araneatrox mating season. It is expected they will gather for their… rituals, sometime during the weekend.

Klaus: “Sometime” is an acceptable parameter then? Fine. Do you have any tips for our concerned colonists?

Dr. Ditrety: Yes, very well. Don’t step on them, it might start to rain!

Klaus: Step on them? You’ve never actually seen them up close have you?

Dr. Ditrety: I don’t understand why you make such wild accusations.

Don’t worry, its not Armageddon (again). We here at First Planet Company are just celebrating! Guess what day it is?

Imperial zoologists informs that due to the warm summer breeze on Calypso, combined with the damp spring mist, a plant known as the “Smiliolus” have been spotted growing in unusual amounts. This particular flower is very popular among the younger Armaxes, as it gives a mild buzz when chewed. Smiliolus are expected to blossom this weekend, and the Zoologists are preparing to observe large herds of Armaxes come together for the occation.

Herbalogy expert Dr. Nichstrom warns colonists against chewing the plant themselves, as it might cause light seizures and giddiness in humans.

The first pay-out of teleportation fees will be made this summer.

As I have been made aware that there are some hangar owners who’s deeds are in other players hands (pilots), arrangements have been made so that you will now be able to trade the deed back via support.

How to do it:

You write a support case requesting the trade. Give the person you are trading with your support case ID, and have that person use it as a reference in their support case with a consent to the trade request.

Request: information on human interference at Hadesheim crater.

Response: Iron Man challenge.
Clarification: Human competition meant to imitate mechanical entities through property destruction.

Immediate reaction: Bwahaha!

Request: appropriate reaction.

Response: limited Droka patrols to sweep and clear human entities.
Patrols limited for 72 hours starting Friday.

Approved.
End of line.

The local authority on Foul, Mr Andrus at Camp Echidna, has warned about a coming Foul migration in the near future, most likely starting Saturday, and he expects the migration to last for two days. “They are a very real threat to both humans and puppies”, Mr Andrus says, “and they have to be dealt with.”

A scientist at Imperial Zoological, who wishes to remain anonymous at the time, scoffs at Mr Andrus’ prediction.
