"... In One World News, countries across the world were stunned as dark objects of unknown origin landed in various nations, causing a number of small earthquakes around the world, particularly around the Eskiman regions. Thankfully, however, human loss of life was minimal, and the crashes were far from most inhabited regions. Top scientists have warned civilians not to attempt to visit any crash sites, and current theories seem to indicate they originated from Mars. In other news, the Minutemen Uprising has been quelled today..."

"... One World News, reporting on the update of the strange alien objects... They are unlike any nation's space equipment on Gaiaterra, and a man in the Elezen Voshkod Socialist Republic spoke out in a public speech today that these represented '"The Coming of the Messiah". Scientists are divided on whether they are alien craft, loose Martian rocks, or merely the remains of a comet or some other object. Meanwhile, a few rogue pseudoscientists argued in an international conference that the earthquakes reported earlier were not, in fact, caused by the objects hitting the earth, but were laughed out of the building. In other news, Disney's animation company has announced plans to release a new film for public view, called "The ..."

"... One World News here again! A particularly large object that crashed into the (Atlantic) Ocean today gave off a sound signal of unidentifiable nature; scientists are puzzled over its unclear nature, giving it the nickname of "bloop" from its sped-up sound. Whatever it is, a probe was sent down to find it and should report back within a week or so. The same scientists laughed out of last week's international conference have released a public statement to the deaf ears of the scientific community, claiming that the earthquakes were caused by strange machinery under the earth and that the objects, now thought by some to be alien transports, were merely diversions. In other news, Premier Lunafreya today stood in front of the Lastonbell Wall and shouted for the Alliance to end the division and give Aselia fully to the Voshkods. From a recording of the event: "Field Marshal Bingham, TEAR DOWN THIS WALL!..."  ''

"... One World News, reporting live... Crash sites seem a focal point for increased hostile activity, as teams across the globe have been found slaughtered and the objects found hollow, prompting rumors that they were alien landing craft of some sort. The probe sent down to the Atlantic object malfunctioned of some unknown engineering problem, but the scientists believe they can have another one down there in several days. The pseudoscientists from earlier have now disappeared, after making public the fact that they would descend into the supposed "underground tunnels" unveiled by the quakes and reveal the truth. Any information should be reported to One World News. In other news, malfunctions in space as part of the Athena Network came down, and the Corona Star Fleet reportedly "vanished", leaving many of their kin stuck on Gaiaterra..."
