TODAY'S TOP STORY In the midst of the chaos surrounding the galaxy in the wake of "Nova-gate" and the resultant turmoil, a new wrinkle has been added to the fold. "Big-Bad" Billy Blue Bob, former civillian-security team leader of the Æ Water Supply Megacorp planets, originally thought to be a M.I.A.
after the Cyborg Attack of Alpha-Omega III just five weeks ago, has issued a renegade-sattelite broadcast missive declaring his allegiance to the alien-resistance of the colonization of the so-called "natural" Alpha-Omega planets in the galaxy.
He and his followers have declared open war on the Marathon and Allied Interplanetary Forces, stating that we are "responsible for all the madness and destruction of the natural resources of the universe".
"Big-Bad" Billy Blue Bob has been reported in his attempts to persuade other BOB-class team members to join his forces. So far, to our knowledge, he has remained unsuccessful. Whether the other BOBs are sincere in their efforts to put down the rebels remains to be seen.
Covert sattelite photos show the rebel-leader meeting secretly with evil alien agitators. --- WE INTERRUPT THIS BROADCAST WITH A MESSAGE FROM YOUR LEADER ---
