By Dirk Piven Health Reporter, Nepleslia Prime News YSE Senate discussion on the issue has been both lively and spirited, with words like 'dignity' and 'propriety' used to mask over the fundamental urgency of the situation. As the Yamatai Star Empire faces crippling food shortages in the aftermath of the attack on their homeworld by the NMX, the senate continues to push on dietary restrictions on their citizens. After outlawing the consumption of ocean-dwelling cetaceans such as whales and dolphins, the latest meal on the figurative chopping block is a meal of last resort: the captured rations of NMX soldiers. Apparently containing meats collected from captured YSE Neko, the meals have been freely distributed throughout the NMX, often...

A black-haired, tan-skinned Nekovalkyrja's image quickly fades into view on the image panel. She is centered in the camera, with a shadowed electric blue background. How far it is away from her is impossible to tell; she could be in a closet or a soundstage. She wears a flat white blouse, with just one button undone near her neck, with a red blazer with wide lapels. Her almond eyes and thin pink lips offer the most professional of smiles.

The augmented sea creature was allowed to explore the oceans free-range after it was ascertained that it was trustworthy and fitted with an explosive brain implant. He currently works as an ocean cartographer, although his weekly stipend from...

By Dirk Piven Health Reporter, Nepleslia Prime News Whales and dolphins are delicious additions to the dinner plate that may promote good health and other benefits, say whaling industry food scientists. An analysis of over 1000 people, published in the Archive of Exotic Eatin', concluded that the meat of both animals was excellent. The Nepleslian-led study said that 'anyone not too pussy to eat greasy meat' would enjoy whale and dolphin in its various preparations. Experts say it won't be too long before it's prepared as some sort of 'sea bacon'. Whales and dolphins are animals that are found in the oceans of some worlds including Nepleslia Prime and Yamatai, though they went extinct in the homeworld several centuries ago and have...
