Elyra News Network “For Greatness, We Strive” Death of Persepolis’ Chief of Police 1.14.2458 Death of Persepolis’ Chief of Police Around 45 minutes before this article was posted, the Persepolis Chief of Police, Mido Abadi was found dead in his home. From the immediate investigation, there were signs of a struggle along with damage to parts of the home. The investigator who was first to do a forensics analysis on the scene has stated, “It is most definitely a murder or some sort of foul play. There is just too much evidence here for us to believe that this was an accident. More advanced units are on their way and will be able to tell you more after they have finished investigating.” The funeral which will be attended by the four ministers along with many of their subordinates in order to show respect for Chief Abadi, is to be held on Friday morning at 11:00 AM New Ankara Time. It is worrying however, that someone was able to infiltrate a secure home like Abadi’s and kill him. It makes you wonder what else people are capable of and how far they can go. The next Chief is to be decided by Monday. Council on Unbound AIs A meeting between Minister Tatenda and Nabil along with many members of Parliament is scheduled for Friday afternoon, after the funeral of Chief Abadi, the meeting is to discuss the new found issue about the Unbound Synthetics that have been sweeping over many of the Human factions. Depending on what is decided during this meeting, the issue will be taken up to Parliament about if Elyra is to follow in footsteps of factions like, Biesel, the Izweski Hegemony, Jargon Federation and possibly the Sol Alliance. They will also talk about taking precautionary measures against Unbound Synthetics.

Working on this. Cake's got some of his own in progress too, so we'll just have to wait and see which comes out better. Changes since the screenshots were taken involve a few more blue accents on the Skrell suit. I've been informed the Tajaran suit could use some tweaks too, so that'll end up with some more blue too. I updated the in-hand sprite for the security helmet. Refitted suits don't have in-hand sprites; recolouring things is more spriting than I've done in years, so I'm not sure I'm qualified to make them. These look amazing, I think these colors fit really well and would be just fine, if not better than the current Human ones. (Humans also need a blue color added if I remember correctly)

I believe Frances has stated before, much of the Skrell fluff that players may want to improve there roleplay is not currently in. They also said that they were willing to take suggestions for things like that in order to help flesh out the species. I am not aware of anything that is currently created about the leader of the Jargon Federation, but then again, I am not on the Lore Team so I will leave it for Frances to answer.

I was only arriving to Aurora right before Pla got his second Perma ban. I am normally all about giving chances to people but you have been permanently banned for basically the same thing twice. My issue is, how do we know you have changed, it is entirely possible that you will go back to the same toxic self as you were 6 months ago. Now, I personally would be willing to give you one more chance. The only thing is, the first time you fuck up, you /will not/ be allowed back on the server. I feel like you have been enough chances to continue going through this. You are the first person I have ever seen to actually go through the lengths that you have gone to be unabanned (YouTube Video) that is most likely the only reason that I am even considering giving you a chance. This is just my opinion on all of this.

Elyra News Network “For Greatness, We Strive” Synthetic Debate 1.14.2458 Synthetic Debate After the recent passing of the “Gruber Bill” inside the Republic of Biesel, many of the Elyran citizens have been starting to make their opinions heard about the unbound synthetics. After the recent attack on the ESS Kalasi, it has been close to a 70% approval rating of Biesel’s “Gruber Bill” with all Persepolis’ citizens that have been interviewed about their opinions about it. Talks coming from the parliament (Which recently has went back into action) say that there is a possibility that if the Elyran’s want something like the “Gruber Bill” it may happen. Of course, legislature would need to be written up along with a lengthy approval process, but they say it is entirely possible. At this moment of time, there have been large debates held within the parliament about the issue at hand. Currently, the parliament is divided so it may be sometime before we see results.

Elyra News Network “For Greatness, We Strive” Synthetic Issues Rise 1.13.2458 Synthetic Issues Rise Earlier this morning, there was an attack on the ESS Kalasi. The attack occurred at 9:00 New Ankara times. The main culprits of the attack are from a robotics company located on Medina, the company in question is one of the main suppliers of Unbound Synthetics units in the system. They have claimed to have had nothing to do with the attack that has left 5 personnel dead with another 11 injured. The authorities have launched a full scale investigation on Nazari Robotics under accusations of advanced terrorism. No new unbound synthetic units will be allowed to be manufactured by Nazari Robotics until the investigation is complete. Parts of the attacks were caught on surveillance footage showing a group of what appears to be synthetics, most likely unbound who are heavily armed opening fire on the Security desk. The group of terrorists were disabled quickly. But, before the units were able to be secured, one of them managed to set off an explosive that was hidden within their things. The explosion caused the immediate destruction of the synthetics along with causing mass venting of the area. The 5 deaths were mainly due to the venting set off by the explosives carried by the synthetics. This attack has caused a scare on Medina along with the attacks on the Sol Alliance. Many questions have been brought up on the rights of unbound synthetic units in most of the republic. We are all sure that there is more to come. More reports as they unfold.

Most of the Vaurca players that I have had the chance to interact with have demonstrated their role extremely well I feel. I do find the bound very interesting, almost makes me want to make a Vaurca application. Maybe later. But anyways, I like how things have turned out with their integration.

That was the most beautiful thing that I have ever read... You have had an amazing childhood.

I have roleplayed with many of Jboy's characters, mostly those in a command position and I will say, he is a very good roleplayer and he should do just fine with a Vaurca whitelist. +1 from me!

About time, I will have to say, I have roleplayed with CampinKiller quite a bit and fully approve this application on the basis that he knows how to handle himself. I think that he would do a good job in a Command role. +1 from me.

Yeah, that sort of blue, if not even darker. But I would settle for that color.

It isn't worth questioning how you know that.

Wow... You cut me out of the picture because I am too cool.

Mommy look! I am on the forums! I AM COOOOOL

Possibly, as some sort of Frontier extremist group. I would try it and see how people feel. I would suggest not going full Nazi mode ingame however.

I was thinking that but I wasn't sure if it was going to be counted on here.

Yeah that is what I meant, but after checking the list there isn't a 14 either. Possibly an oversight. Or maybe some sort of super captain xD

Oh, this is actually really interesting. I hope this is actually what it is. Also, I don't see a L14 job on the list. Is that like a higher rank than Captain or just not added?

Hmm... I don't think I have noticed it before. It probably was stolen Respectably borrowed honestly.

Most of these don't look too over the top. But one thing, would all of those detective variants be inside the armory? It just seems like an overkill ballistic wise.

I agree with all of Killer's things. Nothing there is really too lethal but it would add to roleplay. and for the upgrading of Security's armory, I mean, you would be just adding more guns which would probably lead to more just straight chaos Nuke Ops rounds. i really am not sure what to say about those super guns that you want to give the nuke ops, but I feel that Security armory would be good enough. If you want to highlight some points from the other thread I would be fine to discuss them.

I just feel that this would empower the Nuke Ops even more than they already are. But a tranquilizer gun seems like a good idea. A better way to take hostages.

Don't get me wrong, I like the colors but the Tajaran one looks very close to the Nuke Ops one. Especially if you are in low visibility. Choice would be nice though.
