All citizens of the 'Verse are invited to walk through the BlueSun Corporate Grounds, and enjoy the Christmas Walk put on by BlueSun employees.
The Christmas Walk is an extravaganza you won't want to miss.
The Walk begins at the Gates of BlueSun, and goes throughout the property, culminating in a visit to Santa's Workshop.
Along the way, take time to enjoy the romantic pavillion by following "Snowflake Lane" to the scenic overlook. Or, spend some time in front of BlueSun Headquarters, where you can enjoy refreshments.
The path along "Toytown" is full of exciting new displays, and the ice rink has been specially decorated just for the Christmas Walk. Free skates available, as well as hot cocoa. Have a snowball fight. Snow has been created using shaved ice and the balls are by the toy soldiers.
Wander around, or rest under the Smiling Santa archway and watch the skaters.
Stop and rest, have some BlueSun Cocoa, and continue on, following the candlelit path to "Nativity", our display located appropriately in the BlueSun Stables.
Next, prepare for a visit to Santa's Workshop, where you may find him working - or he may be at one of our other facilities. Inside the workshop are gifts for you and your family.
The playground, dog park, pool and spa are open. However due to recent issues with crime, we ask that no children be left unattended. These areas are not part of the Christmas Walk.
Transportation to the Gates of BlueSun is provided inside Santa's Workshop.
The Walk runs now through January 15th, and is provided free of charge.

KHI Deploys Modular Repair Yard
After a series of delays acquiring transport, Kawanishi Heavy Industries Ltd. has finally deployed the Modular Repair Facility approved by the Town Council months ago. The deployment was made possible by long time Hale's Moon resident General Parkin when his Heavy Lift spacecraft unexpectedly became available .
With transportation in place, Company field engineers and local technicians were able to assemble the modular components on station in a mid/high orbit over the colony. In addition to providing additional repair facilities, with their associated jobs, the station will give the colony additional communications relays and improved NavTrak capability.
It will be some time still before the platform becomes fully operational, but all life support, power, and communications functions are in place and operational already. The platform is expected to facilitate its first orbital transshpment within the week.
Local resident Sabrina McGee-Kawanishi has been selected as the station's Director of Engineering and Operations Manager. According to the agreement negotiated between KHI and the Colony, the majority of the workforce will be drawn from colony residents, and most operational profits will be funneled back into Hale's Moon's infrastructure.
When asked about a possible conflict of interest, the Mayor replied "I've always tried to do what's best for the colony. Part of the agreement with KHI was that I'd have no personal financial interest in the platform. My wife may be running the place, but we're going to keep the records open. She'll draw a salary, just like everyone else, and it'll be right in line with Industry standards. This is your platform, people. Not mine."
Plans are under way to have a Grand Opening shindig at Fook Yoo's sometime in the near future.

Hale's Moon Trolley Service
Hale's Moon Trolley Service
Hale's Moon Trolley Service announces opening of GREEN LINE branch. You can board at the Trolley sign located outside Fooks, across from the gun store. It runs one way only and terminates at Firefly's Bar, across from the Boarding House. The service is free. Just jump on when the Trolley shows up, and it will take you down to Firefly's. Jump off FAST when you get there - the Trolley does not stop for long.
"We called it the Green Line because it goes from Fooks here, to a safer place, you know. Like, green for go to safety. Not that any place is all that safe. But it's safer to go to Firefly's than to come over here. Course, you got the Wastes and West Town on the other side, but so far nothing has come in to cause any trouble."
The Rail and Trolley service is a joint project of BlueSun and Dharma. "Eventually we're hoping to get people out there to the Settlements safely, and faster. Right now, it’s just too dangerous to attempt crossing the Wastes."
Concerns that the Rail system construction is stirring up things best left unstirred out in the Wastes continue to be voiced. "We know there are some concerns that the snakes and things that have been seen in town are a result of the rail project, and it’s possible that some lifeforms may need to be relocated or subdued. This is a necessary fact of any expansion. We don't anticipate any major problems."

New Boarding House Manager
New Boarding House Manager
Mr. Vegaslon Plutonian (Vega for short) has accepted the post as manager of the Hale Boarding House on the west end of the spaceport, across from the bank and between Starstruck's Coffee & Petstore and Firefly's Bar.
The Boarding House offers both private and hostel style accomodation. All rooms are fully furnished. Accomodation include vouchers for breakfast and two free drinks at Fook Yoos Bar and two free coffees at Starstruck's.
Vega explained the boarding house concept very plainly, "...when people first arrive and they don't have any place to stay, they can sleep here at the boarding house."
Rates for the Hostel accomadations are 50L per half day, 250L per week or 500L per month. Private rooms are 250L per day. Rates are negotiable, and must be paid in cash up front. The previous manager accepted IOUs and guns.
No cooking, there is food in the bar and coffee at Starstruck's which is right next door.
No pets. Exceptions made for ones that the manager likes and is nice and doesn't make a mess.
No smoking, sex or spitting on the premises.
As Mr. Vega explained, "This is a boarding house not some cheap hotel. We have standards and must have respect for the other guests."
Vegaslon Plutonian was originally from Boros in the Georgia system and worked as a mechanic specializing in electrical systems on the Alliance Shipyards on Ares, one of Boros' moons. Vega has been in Hale's Moon since the beginning of July, "I came here to get away from some marital troubles and I stayed because Hales had a boarding house and I felt welcome on that first day....even got a tour from Lilybell. Met the mayor and everything on the first day. I also met Krenshar, but it took me a while to get the nack of him."
Mr. Vegaslon Plutonian (Vega for short) has accepted the post as manager of the Hale Boarding House on the west end of the spaceport, across from the bank and between Starstruck's Coffee & Petstore and Firefly's Bar.
The Boarding House offers both private and hostel style accomodation. All rooms are fully furnished. Accomodation include vouchers for breakfast and two free drinks at Fook Yoos Bar and two free coffees at Starstruck's.
Vega explained the boarding house concept very plainly, "...when people first arrive and they don't have any place to stay, they can sleep here at the boarding house."
Rates for the Hostel accomadations are 50L per half day, 250L per week or 500L per month. Private rooms are 250L per day. Rates are negotiable, and must be paid in cash up front. The previous manager accepted IOUs and guns.
No cooking, there is food in the bar and coffee at Starstruck's which is right next door.
No pets. Exceptions made for ones that the manager likes and is nice and doesn't make a mess.
No smoking, sex or spitting on the premises.

Town Council reacts to Aggressive Automatons
In the aftermath of yesterday's attack by swarms of automatons, the Town Council and the Mayor's Office had a brief question and answer session to help alleviate concerns that a full scale robot invasion was immanent. "The colony has dealt with far worse than this," The Mayor was quoted as saying. "A bunch of cheap knock-off's of the KM Series Replicants aren't going to be able to break this town."
Analysis of several recovered wrecks indicates that, while superficially similar to the KM Series deployed by Weyland Yutani some years ago, the automatons that attacked the town were of much lighter, and less sophisticated, design. "These machines relied on swarm tactics, and did most of their damage by brute force."
When asked about casualties and damage, the Mayor replied "Our medical resources are stretched pretty thin, and we'll certainly need resupply in the coming days. But we're doing OK for now. Worse comes to worst, we'll evacuate the wounded. The Alliance has a Frigate on patrol not too far from here. Won't hurt to have them earn their keep."
Repair crews have already started repairing the damage done to some of the colony's infrastructure, and communications has been largely restored by routing traffic through Flight Control's main relays. Citizens are advised that some low priority traffic may be delayed until the may relay comes back on-line.
In response to questions about a possible motive, or source, for the attack, the response was somewhat non-committal. "I've heard everything from Weyland Yutani sending bots to try and disrupt Blue Sun's operations here, to the possibility of one of those factory machines like they had on Blackburne. Without more evidence, we're not prepared to say anything more than 'we're looking into it.'"
When pointedly asked about some citizen's suspicion that resident Mechanical, Krenshar, was behind the attack, the Mayor replied "History aside, that's a completely unfounded accusation. While these bots looked a lot like a KM Series, like Kren, we've seen enough of the wrecks to know they're not. They barely count as cheap knock offs. While I know a few people are a bit riled up, accusations like that don't help anyone."
An inquiry into the source of the robots and the motivation for the attack is under way.

Hale's Moon Overrun by Robots
Hale's Moon Overrun by Robots
"The robots finally revolted," commented Hale's Moon Wasteland Village Resident and Proprietor Mr. Amon Ansar described the many waves of attacking robotic cogs, "There were too many, not enough time. It was all we could do to stay alive. They came in rows of ten at a time, just as fast as we could kill them, for a long, long time....for hours."
Witnesses report that Firefly's Bar Proprietor, Mr. Nack Barnes, fought bravely. Witnesses reported that he fought until he needed new guns, "....guns got so hot..."
In addition to the Hale's Moon Militia and local residents, some new folks were reported to have lent needful assistance. Witnesses reported about a big man that grunted a lot came to help from the Wastes. Also a Portuguese speaking gentleman and someone, "dressed like an elf" also lent assistance.
The Consolidated Associate Traders of Zenobia Office reported that their replicant secretary was also shot, "Probably a case of mistaken identity, " a representative replied, "...fortunately, it an easily replaceable model". An onlooker commented "Everyone was panicking, maybe somebody thinked it was one of the bad ones. There....so....many..."
Long-time Hale's Moon resident, Miss LilyBell Snoodle reported, "Lots of serious injuries, bodies littered West Town. All torn up. Then lot of robots camed. Panic in the town. Lily call for help....some camed....help. Robots overran the town."
Mayor Seana Kawanishi also called out on the open channels for assistnace.
After several waves of the replicant infantry were depleted, aerial sentinel drones attacked. Normally assigned to protect the defend the mines, these aerial drones shot at residents.

Hale Wasteland Scrap and Salvage operator Amon Ansar suspects long-time Hale's Moon resident, replicant Krenshar Magic, as partially responsible, "...one of those things nearly killed me, I take a dim view of that kind of activity. Tell me where Krenshar is and how he was involved and I might just decide not to perforate his skull-casing the next time I see him."
In an supposedly unrelated event, a sniper tower has been installed in the Hale Wasteland Village (West Town) by a local resident.
The allegedly deactivated Warbot in fireflys, Raids Blackburn, was reported to have flashing eyes during the battle.
There is no confirmation that this event is related to the "Replicant Order" problem that Hale's Moon was previously plagued by.

Hermoine Hale, Hale's Moon Herald's Hologram Returns
Hermoine Hale, the news hologram previously located in the front of the Hale's Moon Herald offices is returned after some minor modification to make her more resource friendly.

The proprieter is refusing to give up the name and vows to fight Starbucks in the battle, according to the Mint report.
Starstrucks plans to open many stores, in places in which Starbucks is not yet present.
When asked about the complaint, Starstruck's Manager, Miss Charly Starsider replied, "My boss, never said a word to me about this other corporation which we've never heard about. We feel we offer a unique product for our consumers. Where else can you buy a nice hot delicious hot or iced coffee....AND a cute little bunny rabbit for a pet....all in the same place?

Town Council comments on Blue Sun investment
The Town Council, through the Mayor's Office, has made an official statement regarding the recent construction project undertaken by Blue Sun on the outskirts of town. While Blue Sun is widely known throughout the 'Verse for a broad range of products - from Foodstuff to Portable Entertainment Systems, some Hale's Moon residents have lived here long enough to remember life under Wayland Yutani, and expressed concern that Blue Sun's investment could signal the return of "Life in a company town."
In a brief statement in Town Hall, the Mayor was quoted as saying "Blue Sun's investment here on Hale's Moon does not signal wholesale Corporate involvement on our little slice of Heaven. You fine folk expect your local government to do what's right for the colony, and that's what we've done here. We've received legally binding paper that holds them to certain standards, and they'll be doing business under terms that are very favorable to the colony."
When asked about other corporate investments, the Mayor responded "We still have a working relationship with Black Tortoise Mining to buy our ore, and Frontier Transport for use of our transhipment facility. As far as the business is concerned, the new Blue Sun installation won't stop investment by other companies and it won't interfere with our way of life."
While details of the agreement have not been made public as yet, it's rumored that the negotiations were rushed to enable Blue Sun to continue with their construction while still giving the Colony a solid deal.

Fook Yoo's hosts Shindig
Fook Yoo's played host to a royal shindig to celebrate the Birthdays of long time residents Krenshar Magic, Lilybell Snoodle, and Sabrina McGee, last night. The shindig, planned by recent resident Charly Starsider, was well received and well attended by both locals and visitors to Hale's Moon alike. Music was arranged by birthday girl Sabrina McGee.
While a straggler from a brief Reaver attack earlier in the day, which caused several injuries, but no deaths among the colonists, did make an appearance at the edge of town, it was quickly dealt with and the festivities went on without interruption.
Residents are encouraged to drop by Fook's for a slice of cake while it's still fresh.
