To astronomers, it’s NCO-97682A; to shippers and insurance agents, it’s a damage claim case; to everyone else, it’s a container-load of Easter bunnies falling from the sky. And colonists are not the only ones interested in these free toys. A recently published article in Scientific Calypsian says that the chemicals used in the stuffing may cause mutants to go bananas. “It’s catnip for mutants”, one scientist says, and warns that there may be danger in the wilderness when the stuffed bunnies fall from the sky.

From one creature to the next: the eomon and longtooth migration is expected to start at the end of the next week, and will continue for about two weeks. It will be a dangerous journey for them across the Calypsian outback, as carnivores usually prowl the migration paths looking for prey.

In other news, Genesis Star CEO Maximilian Wolfe, reported that most of Series 1 of the Genesis Star Visual Displays have been found, but that there are some Series 2 units still adrift. As an extra incentive to speed up looking, Genesis Star has decided to add one set of finders and amplifiers for both ore and enmatter to the prize that any finder of a Genesis Star Com Unit, Encrypted Holder and Visual Display will get.”

Shelly Nakajima: And now to the matter that made people talk last week: Genesis Star, the corporation that in a bold move made mining “chique” with their eMINE brand. With me here at the Genesis Tower is Maximilian Wolfe, CEO of Genesis Star Calypso. Welcome!

Maximilian Wolfe: Thank you.

SN: We’ve seen this new skyscraper for some time now. It’s a beautiful building, but what’s it for? We’ve just seen the atrium and the exchange.

MW: Parts of the building will be our offices when we expand. Other parts we would like to lease to the public, but we can’t say how and when.

SN: So you’re planning to expand your business?

MW: Oh yes. I mean, what corporation isn’t? I think it is time for Calypso to make some progress. We’ve been stuck in the frontier town dogma too long.

SN: At the inauguration, you mentioned a special drive for the new eMINE brand.

MW: Yes, we have two plans, Shelly! You don’t mind if I call you Shelly?

SN: Not at all, Mr. Wolfe…

MW: Please, call me Max.

SN: …Max. So what’s the drive?

MW: First, we’ll randomly release a number of blueprints to crafters to get local production going. That raises awareness of our products. Second, we release a number of tuned eMINE PG armor sets to the public in return for some lost packages from R&D. We’ll use the packages as tickets– get the tickets and turn them in, and you’ll get a tuned eMINE PG set.

SN: So what do we need to get?

MW: You need one Genesis Star Visual Display, two Genesis Star Encrypted Holders, and three Genesis Star Com Units.

SN: Can anyone get them?

MW: Sure, but they will probably be found by the miners.

SN: How many prizes are there?

MW: There are as many prizes as there are Visual Displays. Inventory says that we’re lacking ten of them, so there are ten prizes. When all ten Visual Displays are found, we’ll have a prize ceremony.

SN: And when will that be?

MW: (laughs) Damned if I know! That depends entirely on when they are found. When they are, we’ll announce a date for the ceremony.

SN: Last question: what will happen at tomorrow’s presentation?

MW: I’ll personally showcase the tuned unlimited eMINE PG. We’re proud of our work and our product, but there’s still room for improvement, and we’ll show what we can do tomorrow.

SN: Can we expect these improvements to be available to all in the future?

MW: (laughs) You’ve already asked the last question, Shelly. Anyway, that’s a question I can’t answer at the moment, because the decision is not made. It depends a bit on how the market receives this new line.

SN: Well, I guess we have to be content with that reply. Thank you, Mr. Wolfe… Max, for attending.

MW: A pleasure, Shelly.

EBN has managed to get a peek into his schedule. On Monday morning, Mr Wolff will attend an interview with Shelly Nakajima which will be broadcasted on Entropia Gateway, and on Tuesday at 18:00 UTC, there will also be a special presentation of the eMINE PG armor for miners in Genesis Tower.
