Interview With General Jade

By: Arned Darvin, GNN

GNN: Thank you for spending a little time to speak with us General Jade.

Jade: It is a pleasure

GNN: How are you adjusting to your new position as supreme commander of the timefleet?

Jade: I think I am adapting well to my new position here. Everyday is a new adventure here

GNN: You are taking command just before the holiday. Has this presented any special challenges for you?

Jade: Yeah it has with my new position here I have to kind of take it back a few more notches then I am used to. I am used to going in to the heart of danger but these days I can't.

GNN: I believe you are the first AI to ever hold this post. How do you feel about that?

Jade: I feel fine about it. It just means that there is no real mold for me to conform to. It means that what ever I do I am setting standards for any other AI that might come in after the fact.

GNN: What are your thoughts about this years Temporal Federation Day?

Jade: I think that the people behind this, a lot of thought and time. I also think that during this time of great joy people have been able to see what I am like and enjoy themselves a lot more especially after all the tragedy that happened here.

GNN: Is Timefleet Headquarters planning a big celebration?

Jade: Let me just say it is going to be a day none will forget.

GNN: Thank you once again for taking time from your busy schedule General. Do you have anything else to add?

Jade: There are a couple of things I would like to add. First of all I would like to say that my position here is the greatest honor I have ever had placed upon me. I have been through a lot in New Scotland and that is just for starters. Second if it was not for some one who had placed his faith in me I would never have gotten this honor.

GNN: May I ask who is that person?

Jade: It was General Paul White the former CO of Timefleet

GNN: Well, those are all the questions I have. Thank you General

Jade: It was no problem at all

Temporal Federation Day Holiday Approaches

Tourist Invasion

By: Arned Darvin, GNN

While all of Gibraltar prepares for the upcoming Temporal Federation day holiday, thousands of tourists and other visitors begin to pour in from all over the Federation and beyond.

This year’s holiday promises to be one of the biggest and best in years as President KaRae Daelan has declared that this shall be a time of remembrance and renewal as we move farther away from the time of the Gamma Burst, the second most deadly event to hit the Federation in the five years.

The holiday, which is only four days away, will have a multitude of shows and events highlighting the many talents of the Federation at its best. There will be a space and air show with halo demonstrations. There will be a parade of the Federated Worlds with fireworks, concerts and many other events.

The Gibraltar News Network will have sunrise to sunset coverage of the festivities with anchors covering all of the events.

A schedule of all Temporal Federation Day activities can be found on the Federation Information Channel.

Metallic Monsters Strike Again

Can move through Time

By: Arned Darvin, GNN

From a time and place unknown, Gibraltar has been besieged by deadly metallic monsters.  The creatures, known as Replicators, somehow arrived on our world which had not long ago survived the deadly ravaged of a Gamma Burst nearly unscathed.

The Bugs, as they are sometimes referred to, have somehow managed to get a foothold once again on our lovely world, which is the headquarters of the Temporal Federation, despite repeated assurances that our Military is the best in the known universe. If ours is truly the best, how is it that these creatures, who were defeated once before, managed to return to Gibraltar without so much as a challenge?

For the second time in the past three months, the spaceport has been leveled with the added bonus of all spacecraft which were housed at the facility being destroyed, Darvin continued. In this reporter's opinion, if our military can't cut it then perhaps we need a shake up in the Planetary Militia

Darvin's face then replaced the image of the shuttle port. It has been extremely difficult to get any information from any of the government agencies on this current crisis, though it is highly advisable that everyone remain indoors and out of the path of these shimmering invaders.  To make the already difficult situation more complex, it is believed these Replicators have somehow added temporal technology to their arsenal making their ultimate defeat extremely problematic.
