Crest.FM Radio [LISTEN-ONLY BROADCAST]

[Crest]

Hello, my wonderful listeners. Solar here, and you're tuned in to Crest FM Radio. Or just Crest. Or just Crest Radio. Your best, most loving, most heartfelt source of comfort and safety for these trying times. Gather 'round, because we've got our regularly scheduled updates to go through. Funnily enough, one of our listeners reached out to me about the squelom flipping contests happening on Houston - they asked if it's possible to participate if you're "not a heavyweight champ when it comes to my physique". And my answer is - go for it! The competition is about having fun, and it's less about the credits this time around. Lots of squelom ranchers from all over Houston like to join up for these games, so the more the merrier, I say. I've got some juicy news for the more militant folk out there. The Minneapolis may or may not see a full refurbishing and re-deploying in the following year or so! According to a press statement released this morning by a rather stressed out Navy Commander Ethan Anderson Rivera, he states that "Pennsylvania has to receive a stricter deal of attention by our forces", end quote. If I may be completely honest with y'all, this may be a hoax and a half, possibly meant to sedate last week's public outrage over a Synth Foods convoy being attacked and dismantled by the locals. They were supposed to deliver some rations to the population of Erie, so who can blame 'em for getting riled up? Mmmm... now for something less political, we've received news about a local incident involving local Junkers claiming to have found the "biggest source of mineable thermal materials yet". It turns out, they went straight for Zone-21. And mining high-end explosives... well, doesn't usually end well. If you are in the mood for some grave robbing, they are ripe for the picking. Assuming there's anything left. Well! I think that's been enough boring stuff for the time being, so let's have ourselves a little guest here, live on radio from the Colorado system! Here we have the Mito Maru, a Samura transport haulin' merch from A to D, skipping B and C. How are you doing today, miss? [A woman is on the other end of the conversation - she appears to be using her ship's comms to calmly respond. Her tone is quite relaxed and easy-going, and she sounds quite intrigued by Solar's questions.] I am doing great, thank you! Today is a calm day for our shipping. Good, good. Let's hope it stays that way, Liberty has quite a few ornery people, rangin' from profiteers to opportunists. But I don't mean to scare you - there's also plenty of good in our Colony. Say, I have a huge question for you: have you heard of the Kaiser of Rheinland himself mobilising to have a talk in Gallia? This seems to be the scoop lately, and we'd like to hear your thoughts. If you ask me, it's a diplomatic incident just waiting to unfold! I have indeed heard that. The news reached Kusari quickly. Ah! And what do your people think of this? Your relationship with Rheinland ain't the softest one out there now, is it? We in Samura have no reason to believe that there will be any incidents. Mmm-mmh. What leads you to believe that? Are you a... gal o' Kaiser, so to speak? Do you believe in the Throne being kept relatively safe? We have a long history with Rheinland, we know what they're capable of. I am sure they have taken every neccessary security measure available. This is just a educated guess though. Who knows what dangers they will be facing? I see! Total trust in the new government, they /do/ want to impose an image of safety and security! Nobody knows who will be out there waiting for the Kaiser. On another note, does Samura also have a stance on Liberty's recent Silver Drought? The stock prices hint towards an approaching surplus of silver in the economy. I'd say that drought has been sated by now! Samura has of course provided aid to the Libertonian corporations seeking Silver. I see, I see. One last question, if you don't mind. Of course. For any poor spacer out there looking for some easy credits, what would you personally recommend? There are no wrong answers here, don't you worry. There are no easy credits in space. You either live poor, get rich, or go back planetside. If you are looking for wealth, benefits, stability and safety though, I recommend to join up with Samura. We make life in space, and life in general, more easy for you. I see! Truly spoken like an economic darwinist. A... great sponsorship here from the Mito Maru in Colorado, ladies and gentlemen. I am Solar, and I thank you for lending me your time. This is Crest Radio, and we're here from Liberty, with love. I think it's time for something a little different. Here we have a request from one of our listeners on Denver. Her name is Monique, and the song's called... Safeword, by Torii Wolf. Hmm, I haven't heard this one before. Let's have a listen, shall we?
