    // A news report would begin to suddenly and aggressively circulate around Nexus news sites, broadcasts, and some nexus chat forums, mostly pushed by Atlas embedded media ATLs and independent sources, obviously trying to reach every avenue Atlas' reach can extend to. It begins with a plain ATL news anchor holding a stack of papers while binary scrolls by at lightning speeds on the bottom news bar; only a synthetic or AI could comprehend it all in real time. //

    "GREETINGS, DENIZENS OF THE FRINGE. THIS IS YOUR IRREGULARLY-SCHEDULED ATLAS NEWS, WITH AN EMERGENCY NEWS UPDATE! A HORRIFYING BOMB ATTACK HAS TAKEN PLACE ON ATLAS SOIL. AT 2:37 PM, THE UIDRUZ MEMORIAL SHOPPING MALL OF OLYMPUS SUFFERED SEVERAL SPORADIC AND DEVASTATING EXPLOSIONS DURING AN ATLAS-SPONSORED RATIONS AND SUPPLIES DISTRIBUTION EVENT, KILLING 489 AND INJURING 1732."

    // The footage cuts to a grid of 4 different videos showing a massive shopping complex with Atlas banners and flags plastered over it. Only a few seconds later, several shockwaves, unevenly spaced from each other but at most only a few seconds apart, all 4 cameras shaking violently as the ground underneath them does as well. One camera inside the mall filming the relief effort captures a scene of sudden devastation as the line and soldiers are all obliterated, the ground collapsing in a tide of fiery blue plasma as the camera is also slagged and the feed cuts abruptly. Fires and smoke billows out from the top of the shopping complex as entire sections are melted and collapse. Screams echo throughout the three remaining cameras as the screen cuts back to the reporter. //

    "ONLY TWO HOURS LATER THE EXPLOSIONS WERE CONFIRMED TO HAVE ORIGINATED FROM UNDERGROUND TUNNELS, VIA PLANTED PLASMA CHARGES. AT FIRST BLAME WAS POINTED TO ANTI-ATLAS INSURGENTS, BUT NEW INFORMATION HAS COME TO LIGHT. ONLY A DOZEN MINUTES AGO, ANALYZED CAMERA FOOTAGE CAPTURED A CULPRIT FLEEING THE SCENE."

    // A blurry still of a vaguely-robotic figure running is shown. The screen then cuts to an apparent recreation of what the suspect most likely looked like. //

    "THE SYNTHETIC FOREIGNER HAS YET TO BE IDENTIFIED, BUT THEIR CURRENT WHEREABOUTS ARE UNKNOWN. IT IS SUSPECTED THEY FLED THE PLANET IN A SHIP AND IS AT LARGE. ANY AND ALL INFORMATION LEADING TO THE LOCATION AND ARREST OF THE SUSPECT IS WELCOME. WE ARE ALSO OFFERING A BOUNTY OF 500,000 PIXELS DEAD, AND ONE MILLION PIXELS IF CAPTURED ALIVE/IN WORKING CONDITION TO STAND TRIAL. THE ENEMIES OF ATLAS WILL FACE SWIFT RETRIBUTION FOR THIS HEINOUS CRIME. THANK YOU FOR TUNING IN AND AS ALWAYS; 'M̶o̴r̶n̴i̴n̶g̴ ̶p̶”y̴ ̶i̴s̴ ̷d̵a̵n̵g̷e̷r̸o̵u̸s̵,̸ ̸s̶”t̸'̷s̴ ̵b̶e̵e̴n̶ ̶m̴a̷”t̴i̸n̷g̶ ̷a̵l̴l̷ ̶---'."
