Tune in for the horror behind the truth about your empire. Yes, yours!
<} Would you believe we had to move... again... <} Empire did NOT like that last one, hahaha!
<} If you're ever asking yourselves "why doesn't Nescient Radio ever post about anything good? It's all dark and gloomy!" Well, that's just our brand, but we will start this off with a heartwarming story! <} Guess what? Your voices matter and they were *heard!* Due to the boycott, Chipie's is shutting down *for* *good.* We took a peek inside the establishment as they closed their doors for the last time and will post the photos in the paper publishing next wipe. It's grim! If you're weak in the heart, don't turn to page four. Thanks to your loyal ears, we can put those trolls to rest, finally. After the torment they went through in the underground trafficking ring, all the baseless fights and rich gluttony fed, their deaths will *not* be in vein. A memorial will be set up outside the former business and we encourage those grieving to come and write your thoughts on the building. Never forget, dear listeners, we are stronger united than we ever are apart. Good work out there, hahaha. <} Back into the doom and gloom, a self-entitled "Upholder" as been making their presence known through blood written messages on bridges and passageways (Photos to be posted on page six of the upcoming paper.) We have to say with a heavy heart, this is not a gimmick. They are real and they are targeting those vocal about empire corruption. Confirmed dead are in the double digits already. This is not us saying you need to become withdrawn from the rebellion efforts! We just need to be a lot more... careful. The Upholder is targeting those outspoken online, so private your accounts. They are targeting those who bare symbols tied to the rebellion, so wear them inside your clothes. You get the idea? Reports have gathered it is one person, but that doesn't mean their movement won't grow through privileged circles. Organise, be vigilant, and keep those ears open. Long time listeners, you know this isn't the first time someone has taken it upon themselves to silence the slighted. We managed then, right? We can do it again! We here at Nescient Radio within the next perigee will have caches set up with information we won't release here on air. If you know how to find them, you will. Imperial listeners, don't think it's going to be so easy to find them. We're smarter than you are, hahaha. <} As promised, we will share *your* stories in a new segment called "Stories Saturday." Throughout the day, we will come on the air to share stories given to us about the impact *you,* dear listener, have been suffering through. Submissions are still open, but if you turn them in too late, you'll have to wait until next wipe. All stories are anonymous and rewrote without identifying information. Here's the first story: <} [ My matesprit [REDACTED] went to the river, did everything that was instructed of him, but he came home without food, water, and instead a new broken arm. He said he was beaten for trying to fish. I won't lie, I was skeptical the empire would lie so blatantly in our faces. I thought they heard our cries and was offering compromises to the townsfolk nearby. We've relied on that river for sweeps! Why is it a threat for us to have a source of food and water so readily available to us? I don't understand. [REDACTED'S] arm is looking worse by the day but I would have to travel three towns over to *maybe* get seen by a cheaper mediculler than what they have here. I posted my story to see if there's any medicullers out there offering services for cheap willing to travel? I cannot lose him... What has the world come to... ] <} Heartbreaking stuff! We're so sorry to hear that, dear listener. Should there be a mediculler out there, please reach out to us and we will connect you. No one deserves to be beaten for fulfilling simple needs. What *has* the world come to? We mustn't let these things slide. They aim to keep us scared and voiceless so they can keep destroying around us. That won't work on us, will it, hahaha? <} As a reminder, trust no one, fawn the law, and above all, keep yourself covert, hahaha.
<} An update to our last report: medicine prices rose another *10%* and the climbing prices has everyone in a tizzy that there is a shortage. Unfortunately, we cannot confirm or deny this claim as the bigwigs aren't willing to speak on this matter. What we can infer is that they are indeed making it harder for lower privileged folk to get what they need. With their pattern of behavior in the past, and the recent outbreak in the western cities, we feel nearly confident they're trying to cull off the less than fortunate. Interesting enough, the outbreak started where the first protest of those outrageous prices took place. Isn't that curious, listener? Hahaha. <} Unfortunately, bridge construction is underway and they're a lot more strict about restricting access to the river than they said in their *own* report. They claimed stations would be set up for constant, clean water access but no such thing has happened. They claimed people would still get access to water, for free, if they traveled further down away from the construction, but they have at least five in custody for doing just that. Drones and soldiers have the entire river shut down. They've destroyed property that was legal and simply sitting on the river. They speak so sweetly to soothe you, but their actions carve a different story. Pay attention, hahaha. <} As for new news: stay tuned!
<} We know we said we were close to posting another story but would you believe our set up got bugged? Not easy being us! Hahaha.
<} Quite the storm brewing... hahaha
<} It occurs to us we should extend the same courtesy to our listeners here! If you have a story you would like to tell, we will set up a mail box for you to send them to! If you’d rather not wait, our DMs are open!
<} We extend our greatest apologies for the extended absence, dear listeners. Fret not, we are lively and well, hahaha! Minor relocation and technical difficulties getting reestablished onto the network took some time, but we’re settled, back, and running. We have a hefty docket to get through, and not all the news will be shared at once, so please, we value your patience! <} Those who reached out to us personally, know your stories were heard and recorded. You *will* see them published here. Long are the days of silence from a tyrannical empire. We do not shun. We do not silence. We do not hide. Our anonymity keeps our mission going and our stories strong. Outrage from the heavens is just progress. <} Stay tuned!
<} Breaking news! Someone’s been… kidnapped? More on that at a later time.
<} Don't be disheartened listeners, we are still investigating the limeblood conspiracy! The empire won't like what we've dug up on this one, hahaha.
<} Loving the engagement here! Just what we need.
<} Now, the question begs, one troll or a team? How many should drones be hunting for once the static clears? Sorry, won't get answers here, imperial listeners. Doesn't that just make you twist in your seat? Hahaha! <} Here's some news on the docket today. Did you know another small town was raided on the far side of Alternia? Reports say it was a dangerous illicit camp, but what's dangerous about the sick? Reality is, folks, they were pushed out of their hives by an earlier raid in the week that decimated a small town! Before you ask "why didn't they cover this," technically, they did, but they gave you what you wanted to hear to make you feel safe in your cupe at light. Why would they want you to fear your law abiding butts off? That's just it, folks! Be as law abiding as you can muster, *they* control the law! You can do everything right and they will tap the scale to the left with their cankered claw, hahaha. <} For those who don't travel, prices of medicine has risen nearly *27%* in lower caste areas compared to higher caste's. What's the rich folk need with cheaper medicine, anyhow? Isn't that strange, hahaha. <} For those cheated out of new roads, another bridge was approved for the river uptown. Yes, *that* river. The one giving you free water all these sweeps? They say construction is going to cut off access and there will be a hefty fee of your life if caught taking water. I'm sure they will figure out some sugary way to word that so it sounds more reasonable to make you pay for a basic right, hahaha! <} While they only give you the skin of all their news, I will give you the bloody nitty gritty guts of it all. I? Silly me, we! We personally hunt down our news straight from the source instead of hearsay from some cluck in power! That's our *guarantee!* Short list currently, but we will have more in the coming hours. Give our reporters time to hunt down the honest to heiress truth about *your* neighborhood. Suspicious? Send us a DM and we will scout it out for you! Real news shouldn't be kept from the less fortunate to keep them docile, and we plan to fix that, hahaha. <} As a reminder, trust no one, fawn the law, and above all, keep yourself covert, hahaha.
<} Already getting some feedback! That's what we like to see here at Nescient Radio! {>
<} Mic check, one two three {>
