<} 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 This is not us saying you need to become withdrawn from the rebellion efforts!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.
