News from an unidentified source told Coast News today of the rise in cases along the border of an obscure illness.
Doctors there are having difficulties treating the sickness due to the aggressive and violent behavior exhibited as a symptom.
The National Health Agency is reportedly beginning work on a cure.

More on this story at 11.

Government agencies are currently reacting to a data breach of information regarding the nation's ICBM and orbital weaponry.
The leaked information was posted on the popular confidential information leak site, epn.AuroraLeaks.net
The report can be found here, though much of the information is redacted.
https://www.nationstates.net/nation=emberwood_coast/detail=factbook/id=704607

The hacker describes themselves as a "whistleblower" "acting in the best interests of their nation."
Tell us what you think of this story on social media.

More on this story as it develops.

A region-wide shakeup of power is underway as varying factions work to overhaul the East Pacifican outreach. In a press conference earlier today, President Poole spoke for the changes, saying that the renewed leadership would "bring prosperity to all nations, not only here but across all of Urth."

Our foreign political correspondent has more on what these changes will mean for the Coast. Kim, over to you...

A government-subsidized research lab has recently developed an invention that is catching some eyes in the defense, and animal rights communities.
"We call it: A laser bat. The animal was already almost blind to begin with, so we fitted the eye sockets with compact laser cannons for assassinations."
Neither the Advancement department nor the Defense department has not yet issued a statement on the situation, but is expected to pull funding and denounce the project. No word yet on why anyone thought this was a good idea to start with.

In other news, a Noble Prize award was won by Emberwood Coast's own Adichie Ngozi. We now go to Laura with more on the story...

You may remember this network's report on an obscure illness a few weeks ago.
Quote:
 
Doctors there are having difficulties treating the sickness due to the aggressive and violent behavior exhibited as a symptom.

Work on a cure has not yet finished, but cases have been steadily increasing since our first story, and the Secretary of Health has been pushing for more funding to look for a cure.

Also in the news, the Air Force Marathon began today in Portside. Here's Laura at the finish line...

BREAKING NEWS:

Reanimation victims are terrorizing neighboring nations. Residents are asked to refrain from leaving the nation for any reason, and to exercise extreme caution with suspicious individuals. The Assembly recently allocated more funding to find a cure.

Over to Sammy with the chaos in neighboring Quartz Fern Coast. Sam, what is it like over there?

New tonight, the Aura Port Authority has commented on the shipwreck found on the bottom of Liara Bay.

"We don't know the origin of the vessel, but we will have scientific teams looking into this going forward."

Reports of treasure chests aboard the sunken Galleon have not been verified, but divers are believed to have found numerous gold currencies of unknown origins, as well as vulpine and human skeletal remains of what were probably the crew.

Also in the news, particle physicists have detected strange echoes they say originated in a parallel universe. Among the signals are radio waves, seemingly indicating that our nation was overrun by the undead! Sure glad we're safe here, huh Pat?
Haha, of course! We'll let you hear for yourself, take a listen...

Just in, word that there is an active shooter situation in Miriam. We go to Laura with the latest...

Thank you Kim. Now, it would appear that the entire incident was started by this backfiring tractor, and that there were no shots fired, but just look at the national outpouring of support...

The U.S.S. Rose's eleven day mission came to an end today, as it touched down at Stonewall Aerospace Center as planned.

The mission was one of two final resupplies before Myriad Station is scheduled to begin producing its own supplies. We go to Johnathan with a look at what that means for the future of space travel.

...Also in the news: It's national hot dog day! Grab yourself a delicious cylinder of artificial pork today. Manufactured from wheat proteins right here in Emberwood Coast.

Let's say hi to Kim, who's outside the studio at a popular little hot dog stand. Kim, how's it going over there?

Update tonight on the SEPCF's actions to blockade the terrorist nation Tripartite State. The official press release from Cantaz states that the Fire Pact has promised to "not comply with the embargo."

We now go live to Minh, aboard the U.N.V. Cygnus. Minh, I understand you've spoken with the captain?

The main story tonight; Perpetua, Again.

Myriad station was destroyed last night when a Fire Pact station fired a weapon at the reactor, spreading debris over half the orbital sphere of the Urth. Operations by the U.S.V. Endeavor to retrieve imperiled astronauts on space stations are underway, the ship was reportedly reinforced with plating from Autumn Station.

New tonight: famed actress Carol Fischer has passed away at age 60.

Capping off a year of celebrity deaths, this Space Wars star will not soon be forgotten by the people of Urth. May she rest in peace.

We'll take you over to Laura with the impromptu memorials popping up all around Aura...

..."To international news now, crew rosters have been announced for the ESV Belladonna and Reliant. Heading the most recent launch of the Horizon-class shuttles is noted Fleet Admiral California Alistair, who will command the Belladonna with Cmdr. November Rose. The launch date is yet to be set, but the cargo is said to be Life Support modules for a newly refitted South Hills space station."

"Good luck to them. I dunno if I could handle one of those shuttles, you know, I get sick just riding those carnival roller coasters!"

"Ha ha, same for me. We'll be right back with the weather, after this."

"We're here with new findings from the biological front: a chemical firm based out of Aura has developed an oil-eating bacterium, capable of cleaning up oceanic oil spills. We'll have more on the economic effects of this breakthrough, but first here's Sammy at the Environmental Biotechnology Laboratory, with Professor Satinder Kaur Brar, to explain the science."

"Doctor Brar, what can you tell us?"

"See, the degradation of hydrocarbons using the crude enzyme extract is really encouraging, and reached over 80% for various compounds..."

"Lots of excitement today for the launch of the ESV Reliant! The ship took off from Stonewall Point at 3:30 in the afternoon, with no problems during the ascent or docking procedure. The ship is expected to rendezvous with the International Spacelab early tomorrow morning."

"Onboard were two 6-ton Life Support modules, a set of 12 anti-debris drones, and one foreign crewmember who will reside on the new station. It's flight plan also includes a two-week stay at Autumn Station, to resupply and refresh crew there. We'll bring you word on it's safe arrival at the ISL as soon as it comes in."

"In other news, a local man is saying his phone was stolen and taken to a drug den in Vekaiyu. How he found it, and why he says it happened, after this break..."

"...We're seeing more and more immigrants from now-defunct nation Quartz Fern Coast after leader Truman Caffen mysteriously disappeared. Local homeless shelters are accommodating the more impoverished travelers, while still more rent apartments in South Aura under visa agreements signed with our southern neighbor. Lawmakers are slow to react on this matter, opting to develop policies behind closed doors for the time being, but we have this clip from president Nimona Poole, earlier today."

"We can't turn a blind eye to these people, it's our duty and our nature to offer these people a home within our nation."

"Talks are reportedly underway with Portside mayor Halle Valerie to expand the municipality southward to accommodate two new arcologies for the immigrants. We'll keep you up to date as the story develops."

"Also here at home, the ESV Belladonna launched from Stonewall point today, marking the ECSEA's 250th reusable craft launch. The ESV Reliant is expected to rendezvous safely with SpaceLab tonight, we'll have you updated as soon as it does..."

"We're back now, with breaking news from the Undine: one of, if not the most luxurious casino on the Aura skyline. Hackers reportedly lifted secure 'random generation seeds,' used in random chance machines to simulate probability, allowing the group to win almost six million dollars without losses using the 'high-stakes' slot machines before fleeing the city in an unmarked red van. If you see a vehicle with a license plate reading [EXC109V], call authorities immediately. A reward is posted for information leading to the arrest of the suspects."

"Our last story tonight: a legal victory. Here's Miranda Ordinio, with more."

"After 2011's stunning court drama Emberwood Coast v. P. Cenk, in which a man was released under mistrial after being convicted of sexually assault and homicide of a minor, legislators have removed statutes of limitations on sex crimes. The vote passed with higher than average 91% ayes, due in part to unanimous popular support and continual campaigns on the part of First Lady Coraline Poole. I met with Representative Gerald Porter of Aura's 997th district just after the vote."

"...I only hope that this will deter any future crimes from occurring, and give us the tools to prosecute those who would commit such heinous acts, especially on our children. This was a real win for Emberwood Coast."

"You can weigh in at home, tell us how far you think statute of limitation protections should extend, if at all. Go to www.CNC.news.ec to vote in our online poll..."

"Chief Arbiter Sarah W. Norman surprised many today by showing up to a hearing with a broken leg. Many experts expected her to sit out the ruling, leading to a power shift on the court towards national-socialist interests. Her presence allowed a bill barring immigration settlement in Miriam county to be struck down 4-3, marking the seventh such law to be defeated after coming out of that locale. Several activists believe the city is a gathering point for anti-immigrant groups in the country, leading to many nationalist and unilateral-interests parties to establish and campaign in the area. From president Poole earlier today:"

"None of what we stand for allows us to bar people from living in our nation, even and especially if they've come from another country."

"Next up tonight: Land grab? In an unprecedented move, lawmakers are considering a bill that would annex thirty-three hundred square kilometers of southern land from what used to be Quartz Fern Coast. President Poole is expected to veto the bill. With more analysis, I've got Hunter Pegour Jr., our chief political correspondent. Hunter?"

"Thank you for having me. The problem, in the administration's eyes is sovereignty. Many lawmakers think it comes down to logistics and development of abandoned land, but Emberwood Coast has remained with its original borders since it's foundation in 1970. That kind of stability is likely, in Nimona Poole's mind, lending a lot of credence to Emberwood's position both as a neutral meeting ground and as an unbiased broker for multilateral trade negotiations. While it's unclear how either of those considerations will stack up against a few thousand kilometers of land, experts agree the bill is not likely to make it past the president's desk. We'll see, though."

"Always a pleasure to have you on the show. Next, we'll see how scientists have discovered a way to make a paper-thin solar panel from a very humble teacher: a blade of grass. More after the break..."

"A truck driver entering the north checkpoint in Rockport was pulled over for a broken taillight, when tested by officers the driver blew four times the legal limit. His load? Several dozen tonnes of kerosene bound for Stonewall Point. Experts are heralding this as cause to increase penalties for impaired driving, while civil rights activists protest on the grounds that further tests and consequences infringe on a person's right to select their own purchases."
