[EU] Yamatai turning into a chaotic mess

(Being that it is not finished, this post will ignore Halna.)

The usual intro happened, although this time there was a cameo of dancing... Well, members of almost all races (Even a Mishhu) from the sides of the screen for about three seconds before disappearing again.

Once again the image would come to a monitor with the anime-esque chibi, Timpani, this time blue haired and spinning around a... Leek, in her hand, her face in a :D kind of way. She was humming to the theme of the station, continuing it from the intro. To her side was the Geshrin woman with chestnut brown hair that was kept straight down her head to about her shoulders, Xavara.

"Hello again, viewers." Xavara began, "Once again out station deviates from 'Small'" She gave finger quotes when saying small, as accidents in starports and other various universal news were usually not small in the least, "To big news. And, once again-" She sounded slightly irked at the again statement, "Starring the Star Empire of Yamatai in a unarguably negative light." She brought her hand to her throat and rubbed it gently, waving her hand to the side to Timpani, and then over to the other side. A attendant brought her a shot glass of greenish fluid... Something to ward off sore throats, although it didn't sound like she had one.

Timpani, though, started up just as soon as Xavara waved to her, continuing to spin the veggie. "It has been found out why the 2nd and 3rd Standard fleet had left their posts. Along with elements of the First X.F. and central fleet, the masses all together attacked the Freespacer location known as the Great Lighthouse. Freespacer losses are unknown, however Yamatai has captured the location. It is implied there were massive losses. However, Yamatai also suffered as well. Apparently the Princess Motoyoshi Kiyoko was killed when she did a action declared traitorous while attempting to stop Yui's assault against the Freespacers."

She continued, "In the Jiyuu area, including other colonies, the people, who are well known to be one of the many groups against these operations on the Freespacers, have taken the Princess's death as if she was a hero, a sort of Matyr now. No news on any Imperial reactions, although Crown Prince Tio had to be sedated. It is implied, although not necessarily the truth, that he was enraged by this news." It would be noted that Timpani looked somewhat serious (For a anime-esque character) after she announced the Princess's death, no longer spinning the Leek.

Xavara began once again, "In other news," She didn't seem to happy with changing the topic from something like that in such a simple statement, "We turn to the Warmaster worlds. All around the world on Tatiana, there has been massive amounts of graffiti worldwide on the world. Most of the offenders have been arrested though, but the grafiti isn't easy to reverse as some of it is actual damage to property, like the roads via digging in messages." The screen would change from the two to a picture of a cross section with the words 'Down with the murderers!' dug into the road, "While not all of it is this extreme, still most of it sees the Star Army in a negative light." A picture changed to a poster on a shop wall parodizing the Star Army; A picture of Yui and Irim pointing to the viewer with a station censored image of what was in reality a human child's severed head balanced in between their fingers, a Plumeria class vessel above them with the image of Hanako above the Plumeria vessel. The words below them were; 'Join the Star Army; Be a murderer'.

The scene then changed back to the two, "Less... Graphic... posters and graffiti are being found in Anisa now, as well. Although authorities are on alert and getting many of the offenders in the act." Xavara finished.

And Timpani began again, "Several ships of a variety of classes went into a damaged Free fall into Nataria atmosphere. All of these vessels had no crew aboard, and were effectively fire ships. While most of the vessels were halted, some made it through atmosphere and crashed into the surface, spewing their quite flammable cargo over the surface, creating forest fires over the surface. All of these fires, though, are away from any structures of any kind. All of which are already contained, with half of those out or almost out. Although damage to vegetation is already done."

Xavara began once again, "In further news," This was a lot of 'Big' news! "A small percentage of traders and freighter captains have announced a trade embargo on the Star Empire of Yamatai, stating they will deliver no shipments or make no contracts with the empire in protest over the actions done of the Freestate. While only a small percentage, this action already has had a impact on the economy of some of the empire's worlds."

Timpani now began, "And now for the usual information on Star port traffic..."
