It has been officially announced today that Emily-Jayne Cryer, the former CEO of Cryer Pharmaceuticals, is missing and presumed dead. This has been rumoured as the reason behind her cousin, Timothy Cryer, taking over the position over a year ago, but until now remained unconfirmed. A spokesperson for Cryer Pharmaceuticals stated that there had been a mass search underway to find her whereabouts; which has proven unsuccessful. "Obviously we at Cryer, as a family organisation at heart, feel great sadness at the loss of Emily-Jayne, she was an inspiration to us all and her candle's burned out long before her legend ever will."
Since the initial transferral of leadership there have been suggestions of treachery and subversion, chief among these have were from former rival Manhattan Medicines; before it became part of the conglomerate. Indeed Cryer's profits have tripled this past year under the sterner leadership of Timothy. When asked, the Cryer spokesperson claimed this as "utter nonsense" and "completely unfounded".
He added "In memory of Emily-Jayne many of her personal assets will be divided amongst worthy charities such as the Medicines for Miners scheme, others will be distributed amongst her personal friends. Cryer Pharmaceuticals itself will not profit from her disappearance." The exception to this decision appears to be her Enterprise class Liner, rarely seen as she found it ostentatious and detracting from interaction with ordinary people. It has been confirmed that this will be gifted to Orbital Spa & Cruise with the reason given that "Emily-Jayne liked to travel and meet the public, we hope her legacy will bring joy and wonder to the masses. May her spirit rest in peace amongst the stars." This will be following memorial service on this vessel which will be held next week in Colorado in honour of her life's work.
In addition, a reward of five hundred million credits is being offered for her safe return
Planet Manhattan, New York System -- Universal Shipping, Inc. (NYSI: "USI") today is pleased to report changes to its corporate managerial hierarchy. The changes were approved Universal's Board of Directors earlier this quarter, and have entered into effect this week. As per internal policies, the new structure is to be made available to the general public today, following an embargoed announcement to Universal stockholders.
The new structure is designed to maximize work-time synergy and make even more efficient Universal's trademark and industry-leading Convoy Management System. Drawing upon successes within the Department of Security, the Department of Trade is pleased to implement a sister position to the Chief Security Officer; the Chief Logistics Officer. This new Chief Officer position will be filled by Universal veteran Lance Uppercut, captain of the train Long Island.
The hierarchy is detailed below:
Corporate-wide
President [P]
Department of Trade
Chief Logistics Officer [CLO]
Manager [M]
Supervisor [S]
Employee [E]
Trainee [T]
Department of Security
Chief Security Officer [CSO]
Senior Cadet [SC]
Cadet [CA]
Junior Cadet [JC]
Recruit [R]
Social Service Office
Ambassador [A]
Lobbyist [L]
Executive Clerk [EC]
Support Officer [SO]
Clerk [CL]
The changes at Universal come not long after a tumultuous first half with management voids and low revenue figures. With its new structure, newly-ascended President Michael Trenton is optimistic.
Mr. Trenton, longtime Vice President and captain of the trading vessel Boston, spoke to the changes with an eye to the future.
"We are all very excited for the new changes here at USI," he said at an open shareholders' meeting this afternoon. "With a better-defined structure and firm goals for the remainder of this year, I have no doubts USI will surmount our earlier challenges, and be better off for it."
Former President Denny Crane officially announced that he stepped down from his Presidency position last month. Mr. Crane, who resigned in order to spend more time with his family, remains with the company in a specialist-supervisor position.
When asked about the wisdom to appoint Mr. Uppercut into the position of Chief Logistics Officer, Mr. Trenton showed no hesitance in his response.
"Lance is a great navigator and has an excellent sense for situation. It's what you need in your fleet, and its exactly what we want our trainees to look up to. It was an easy decision."

Colorado System Commerce Commission legalizes state charter gambling.
By: John Malon
At 12:00:00 SST Mr. Brown of the CCC or Colorado System Commerce Commission removed gambling laws issued years in the past. In Mr. Brown's defense he declared at the press meeting with other officials.
"This is the time to act, nothing has been done from the Republic to any tax reforms or reforms in the market regulations. Nor has the Government acted in bringing industry back into the Colorado system. Despite several proposals the Colorado Commerce Commission has developed."
Mr. Brown has also claimed the Liberty Government has ignore economical deregulation since 815AS which has caused hardship for industries all over Liberty. Experts say we have lost 20% productivity since 816AS and 30% employment loss in Colorado, Texas and Quebec, and others of the outer regions. Again experts suggested unless reform to the civil market and reduced taxes the economy will head into an depression.
Mr. Brown speaking:
"Unless we get money moving in the civil market we cannot remain in this recession! The Government has their money but the it is the people who needs it."
The new laws regarding gambling will hopefully encourage tourist companies to come to Colorado and start businesses there. Radically the new laws taxes the casinos and places the taxed monies into programs for the Colorado State. Anywhere from Schools to Healthcare will be funded by the Casinos winnings.
This too is suspected to create more jobs for the locales. "A plan to get the civil market moving is giving people jobs." Mr.Brown
[color=#ff0000]CNS: BREAKING NEWS CASINO GEORGE ELIOT ROBBED BY 3 GUNMEN 36 Security officers shot and at least 200 civilians killed or injured!
Just not that long ago 3 well armed gunmen stormed onto the Casino George Eliot and went on a shooting spree. Killing 36 security guards. Their motive? Money. Navy after boarding the vessel and arresting the gunmen reported that the casino's vault was broken into and the money was gone. Rockefeller estimates over 800 million credits have been stolen in assets that was stored in the Casino's vault. Rockefeller was not on aboard his Casino when this event took place. He had only this to comment.
"I can only imagine that Liberty's finest will shine brighter then the darkness that inspired this horrific display of total disregard for human life. Those who we have in custody will pay for their crimes. And my heart goes out to the families touched by this event in our history." Rockefeller.
LSF and LN continue to investigate how these gunmen were able to get on the Casino with the weapons they had. At this time neither branch of service is speaking about the attack and the gunmen involved.
Today Kishiro Technologies announces its new Tera-forming project called "ITJ (Interplanetary Tera-forming Junction) " or "Tera-Yergos Assembly." Which ever it is called Kishiro Technology has taken center stage for Sirius wide attention while displaying their plans for their own abilities to teraform planets. For years now Kishiro's leaders have been planning and waiting for the time to release this project to Sirius. Hisoka Masanori, leader, is in charge of the ITJ project and spoke passionately about it.
"This project not only hails the call for power, but new life." ~ Hisoka Masanori.
Kusari nationalist have raved this new project as a symbol of new hope for the Kusari nation. Kusari is not alone in sharing this new hope project, but too Economists from UM (University Manhattan) have recorded increased in stock market values over 7 different major companies including Kishiro and Ageira Technologies.
What does ITJ do? Kishiro Technologies has been for some time competing against Planetform for Teraforming supremacy and until recently Planetform has been the only one's able to teraform a planet. Now with ITJ in the works Kishiro will be able to teraform planets of it own. The difference is that ITJ is a specially designed base that sits in the lower orbit around the planet producing and injecting teraforming gases into the planet. A untested and monumental project that will make teraforming cheaper, faster and more reliable.
The cost of one of these bases? $ 3,232,100,448 and over 10,707,072 components to build the ITJ. Items will be purchased from various companies outside of Kusari such as Ageira's Superconductors. Over all this project not only increases business trade outside of Kusari but increases production within Kusari itself. And while current politics are changing one thing that is certain that Kusari is looking to rebuild it's own industrial esteem from years of stresses from various wars.
When will it be finished? Hisoka Masanori has pledge this project to take less then 2 years. Employment within Kishiro Technologies has increased over 300% in order to complete this back breaking project within 2 years. The base it's self spans over 10,211 km ("arms") and is able for mobile travel. This is surely a massive project that will keep unemployment down to a minimum in Kusari. Economist theorized that this sort of project will continue to yield rewards over all of Sirius economy that has been strained for the last 4 years. Kishiro Technologies couldn't have announced this project at a better time says economist from UM.
Kishiro's Leaders are proud and excited to get this project underway and soon will be honor to conduct a demonstration of their new base at its complete capacity. Though Kishiro Technologies hasn't released which planet they will be testing with the ITJ on but soon enough we will find out.

"We interrupt your regular broadcast to bring you the following news from the Liberty Navy. One of our correspondants, James Erland, is live outside Fort Bragg Naval Base. James, what's the situation?"
"Thanks David. The traffic you can see behind me has been going since sunrise, heavy vehicles of all kinds coming and leaving this, the central base of operations of the Navy. We've been getting unconfirmed reports of some type of assassination attempt that may have happened over 24 hours ago. Sources initially pointed to the target being one unnamed member of the High Command, but we've received more details suggesting that all of them were targets. Our source claimed that this could have been some kind of coup attempt."
"Any details, James?"
"Not much. As you can imagine, the Navy are being tight-lipped, having yet to formally acknowledge an incident let alone issue a statement. However, what we do know points to a Captain, Samuel Zanders, as an instigator. We've been told that, upon heavily secure raids on the residences of this serviceman, documents were found giving details of many officers serving in the Navy, not only those of the High Command."
"What do you think it could mean for the Navy? Is the war taking its toll on morale?"
"It's hard to say David, the information we're getting is sketchy at best, and without a statement, we have no way of knowing anything for sure."
"Wasn't Captain Zanders a well-respected figure within the Navy?"
"Yes, he was. Captain Zanders' record has been classified recently by the Navy, but prior to that, his superiors claimed that he served with distinction, climbing relatively quickly to the rank of Captain, the highest outside the High Command. He had no incidents of insubordination or misconduct to his name, and to top it off, was the overseer of the Navy's recently begun training programme."
"Have you received any information on the wherabouts of Captain Zanders?"
"I stress that we only have unconfirmed reports right now, but we've been led to believe that an as yet unidentified male body has been found within Fort Bragg, matching Captain Zanders' description."
"Could Captain Zanders have been part of a wider plot by the Chancellor to destabilise Liberty's war effort?"
"It's hard to say, we don't know that much and what we do know consists only of sketchy unconfirmed reports, which mostly lack in detail. I'll get back to you on that, David."
"A worrying turn of events at Naval HQ, James. Thankyou for the information."
"No worries David. From here at Fort Bragg, Manhattan, it's back to the studio."
"In other news, the long list of transfer requests between parts of the forces has been published. The well-known miscreant Maximo Valeri is among the list of transfers, specifically to the 214th. This squadron has in the past taken serious casualties, and it is hoped that this transfer will enable the Navy to make better use of his astrobatic skills in defense of the New York system. However, insiders have told us that the real reason for his transfer was due to his rampant insubordination and misconduct, and that the Navy is attempting to sideline his behaviour in order to repair their image.
And now, the weather with Susan Partridge. Lots of blue on the map I see..."
