Subj: Mutants are Back!
Remember oh so many years ago when there used to be these unstable minions called mutants in the arenas? They were a fad that died out due to their volatile nature. However, it appears that the Bio-teknitions have hit the labs and created a new breed of super-tough mutants. These mutants are more durable than their "brothers" and a lot of their breakdown points have been virtually eliminated. The Bio-teks believe their mutants are as strong as any other minion used in gladiator combat if not stronger. As a matter of fact, House Lok Breed (who are big on Bio-tek) have mutants as their official guard! Keep an eye out for mutants in upcoming gladiator matches.

Subj: Anti-Kelnite Demonstration in the Tarn System
Recently there was a demonstration on Toreador in the Tarn System against the Kelnite Order. It was a small and peaceful march that was stopped abruptly when Kelnite followers came in and began arguing with the marchers. Police enforcers ordered the head of the march to break the demonstration and tell the marchers to go home. The marchers eventually cooperated, though they voiced their anger and frustration as they left.
