Andromeda brings you all of the hot news in Axiom Nexus!
Synopsis
- April 29 — Thanks to decreased production of the advancement level Beta Cores, smog levels are down, allowing aspiring astronomers to see the Restonian Cluster near the Zed Nebula.
- April 30 — Andromeda interviews Garara about a recently discovered fuel on Cybertron. Garara theorizes that it is due to the long decay of an ancient group of Offworlders and their civilization, who all decomposed into a blue substance that they could refine into fuel.
- May 1 — The mecha-soccer draft has started, and all eyes are on two potential picks: Kickstart and Heavyfoot. Andromeda turns over the mic to Rook, who is interviewing Krok.
- May 4 — The last deca-cycle of sports has been exciting and punctuated by several events. The first is an Offworlder-attended fight between Punch... and his other self, Counterpunch. The TransTech were treated to a fight of their own, with Star-Upper fighting Ironclad. The final event was equinicon racing, which Rook reports on.
- May 6 — Andromeda introduces a special series of reports Rook will make on various Axiom Nexus establishments.
- May 9 — In business news, the D. Manus Industrial average has gone up. Cybertronian Galactic Services's stock has also gone up, which CEO Speed Dial credits to their upgrade of transdimensional radiowave scramblers with voltronic galaxers. However, critics worry that the company will violate the Non Admiscearis Principium in the interest of more profits. Galactic Express's stock, on the other hand, has dropped, due to a tragic incident involving Uniend 610.23 Zeta and trans-spatial cylinders. The situation hits close to home for Galactic Express's spokesperson, Guardian Speed of Aurex 503.21 Gamma. The Supreme Multi-Circuit Court struck down the Vraz-Halogen Act, allowing Hydradread/Highbrow Hybrid Technologies a wealth of profit. Environmental critics were not fond of the idea of HHHT having unfettered access to the Iocus universal cluster.
- May 10 - The origins of Motherboard Day are revealed with an interview of Kitte Shūshū, Stampy's mother from Primax 798.0 Gamma.
- May 13 - Andromeda reports on Transwarp Dominion Initiative leader Leadfoot speaking to the Ministry of Higher Dimensional Sciences about the unmanned sentry outpost monitoring the Skriix, the aggressive species from Skriixos V who could potentially threaten TransTech monopoly on transdimensional travel. One of the primary electro-cell banks is no longer online after a Recyclon incursion into Skriix space resulted in a brief conflict that breached the protective Filtrek-K cloaking shield. The remaining cell is at 78% capacity, meaning that failure is not expected to occur for a long time but continued monitoring worthwhile.
- May 14 - Tonight is the finale of Cybertron's Got Talent, the interpretive transforming competition, and Andromeda has the lowdown on the finalists, Stakeout, Sideways, Quickswitch, and Backfire and judges Tarn, Rosanna, Escargon and Greasepit.
