    Written by Janio Zayen

    Recently Port Last has come under fire, a large band of Florans said to be from the Blackleaf tribe have launched an attack. INN focuses on getting these stories to the masses, so an undercover reporter was sent straight to the front lines to collect information. With Civillian casualties reaching levels of absurdity, one can only help but wonder if Port Last is truly being protected by those who "guard" it.

    When the Blackleaf attacked, could the Floran residents of Port Last be trusted? Although it's uncertain how many turned coat, given the violent nature of Florans it seems only to be expected that a large number did. With it difficult to tell friend from foe, friendly fire is very common. The small team of medics cannot keep up with the amount injured in this bloodbath.

    With the brutality of these invaders being put on full display for the people of Port Last to see, it remains unanswered what will become of Port Last's policy on Florans. It would seem that to prevent similar situations from arising, allowing humans to live alongside a race that historically has treated them as food is not a safe policy. Can the powers at be truly be trusted with the well being of those who live under their protection?

    Kluex, seems Opportunity is under constant attack, from what I've seen so far.

    Oh god! I was just there last night whenever there was a guy who bombed the place by having a suit full of explosives and blowing himself up! I broke both my legs and now I run around with ugly braces on the bottom of my legs! This colony ain't safe!

    LISTEN UP YOU FUCKS.
    I am currently embroiled in this conflict.
    Those Florans in the photos are on the RA's side, and are fighting to defend Opportunity from the Blackleaf tribe's assault. No other tribes are involved.
    IN ADDITION
    As you can see, some Blackleafs have even joined the resistance against the invaders.
    this article is not merely biased, but contains outright falsifications, and I am willing to provide the pictures to prove it so, should anyone ask.

    Well it seems I have quite the case built against me, hmm?

    EDIT:
    SPEAKING OF WHICH

    BOOM

    *in addition to the Floran and armored figure, there is a sign resting by the couch with a timestamp and the words "defenders of Opportunity" on it. The Floran is clearly a sapling or young at least, and has rarely if ever held a gun before.*

    There's a looot more where that came from, let me tell ya.

    Well that's interesting. The picture that used to be there was taken down and replaced.
    Now, y'see, I'm actually pretty happy with that.
    the picture that the INN is now showing actually contains a genuine Floran aggressor, not one of our own.
    I don't like the way this news site treats Florans, but at least this time you managed to snap a picture of an actual enemy, which is good.
    So yeah congratulations on doing some actual reporting.

    EDIT: also how did you get that picture? no enemies made it past the front lines, and he's in a house, so you would have to be in no man's land to get that.

    (( how did you get the pictures, when you weren't there IC?))


    As one of the involved parties, my Personal opinion is, that this news channel seems to be corrupted and is not displaying the whole truth. Leaving out important information on purpose.

    (( INN has inside sources that we are not obligated to reveal, taking IC squabbles over inconsequential details and turning them into OOC drama is cool as well however. ))
