- Special Report; Some Freed Slave Microchips Still Active!
Although AGI has denied they hold any claim of property over persons that have completed their contracted debt labor to the company, and part of this contract termination by law now includes the safe surgical removal of tracking and ‘safety control’ microchipping, over twelve debt slaves released last summer have recently discovered that these were never actually taken out when they were put under.

The two research doctors at SERO Hospital who made this discovery among an experimental testing group of ex-slaves quickly reported to their supervisors, who have been in contact with their legal teams to pull these cases together and build a lawsuit against Afterglow. They have scheduled surgeries for all twelve cases, but it was a letter from one of the study participants writing home with her compensation pay an an explanation for the prolonged hospital stay that finally broke the story to the Independent News Network.

GloTV news sources have not been silent on the matter, as AGI is equally “shocked and outraged” at the news, but strongly suspects the accusations are false and that SERO themselves planted the chips, gleaned from unlicensed black market street doctors who specialize in illegal removal.


-Strange Homeless Man Sighted in Sector Nine; Disables SERO's Security

Locals in Sector Nine were shocked yesterday when a homeless man dispatched an entire team of SERO's finest security.

According to eyewitnesses, the individual in question, whose name is currently unknown, surfaced late at the end of last year. His hands and face wrapped in bandages, locals claim he made little effort to approach or speak anyone, only wandered the abandoned alleyways and slums well into the late hours of the evening.

As such, it came as a shock when a SERO neutralizing unit suddenly appeared not to far outside a residential area an hour before last evenings sirens and surrounded the man deliberately. Barbara Alken, a longtime resident of area, claimed she never saw anything like it.

"It was like he walked right through them," she said. "They just fell! They couldn't even touch him!"

SERO has refused to release a statement at this time, but the police have promised to get to the bottom of this incident.

So... I hope everyone's doing a bit better now. I know some of you have a lot to deal with after coming back and all, but... [He feels bad, unable to do anything for anyone, and he also feel like his words fall kind of flat.] Well, you know what? Back then, I saw the stars! That was the first time I'd ever seen anything like that, it was really amazing. They were so small, but so pretty... I'm sorry they're gone again. But I guess if we're going to be kept anywhere - any time? - better now than then.

Some other good things have happened, too. Nana's been teaching me how to tie my shoes - I never learned. My butler dressed me, and when I put shoes on and felt laces, I had no idea what I was doing... But I've got it, now. Hehe, I'm kind of impressed with myself! And I've been reading... It's nice. I missed stories. I also feed pigeons twice a week, and have been listening to and learning a lot of new music. I especially like Strrawberry Fields Forever, You Are The Moon, and, uh, Concerto 2 in G Minor. There sure is a lot to listen to here. A piano could never be lonely like that.

[The glad reach of his tone lowers just a little bit, here, enough to edge on solemn.] I've heard, though... [—And experienced, though he won't say it.] I've heard that the people who lived here before us - who were born here and everything - I've heard they're being less and less kind. I don't understand it all the way, but...

[Quietly,] I think I regret going out into their sun so much. Just, I feel - I feel really bad. I don't know what to do, for us or for them... It would be nice if we could do something for all of us. Something to make everyone a little more glad. [But that's idealism for you.]

Aside from all that, though... It's really a shame it's so cold. I mean, this is an island! Isn't the ocean really close by? I'd love to visit the seaside... [A good-natured giggle.] I've never had sand between my toes before. Wouldn't that be great?

Oh! And I hope Kainé checks this thing... I guess if not, I can just call her directly. Anyway, Kainé! Where are you today? I want to come and find you, because I have something to show you! You can't ask what, it's a surprise.

 [ Jesse has what appears to be a hefty amount of notebooks and textbook on his right side, with him writing down a math-related worksheet. There is a hamster inside a clear plastic ball, hovering ever so slowly. Jesse doesn't seem to notice. ]

I am really behind at school. I told my teachers that I went back in time and that's why I wasn't in school, but they didn't believe me. Some gave me a lot of make-up work plus the work I missed already, and I don't want to talk what I have to do in P.E. I barely got through History, but at least I was able to get a perfect A on an essay about Missionworth. 

Mr. Aggerson still doesn't believe me about going to Missionworth even though he gave me that A anyway. 

Everyone in my classes keep talking about the GW guy. The one who keeps all the letters to the newspapers? Does anyone know?
