Attention, this is MPTV with the latest news updates!
X-COM forces have reportedly raided the Cult of Sirius' Temple of the Apocalypse earlier today as part of the ongoing conflict against the Cultists ever since the mysterious object first appeared over the city. With the Senate already in the middle of an election year, and reports of alien activity taking place all over the city, X-COM is now under pressure to respond to the alien threat, with MegaPol's resources beings stretched thin across the city.
In other news, a MegaPol police vehicle has reportedly crashed with a civilian vehicle by accident near X-COM's base in the city. With the information having just reached our studios here at MPTV, we are still attempting to learn more as this situation unfolds. Stay tuned for further updates!

NOTE: This is the GNN X-COM Apocalypse playthrough. Sorry if it does not look like it, but I realised that GNN is probably either gone by this point or busy with other news stories. So, MegaPrimus TV will have to do for the moment. Sorry, gentlemen. :(

Attention, this is MPTV with the latest news updates!
X-COM forces have successfully cleared the Babylon Apartments earlier today, after an immediate and thorough investigation. With the city now a battlefield between alien forces, X-COM and various other factions within the city, the various megacorporations have expressed concerns regarding their businesses' safety within the city. The Director of Operations at X-COM's MegaPrimus Division has already recommended citizens to keep their eyes open for "unusual behaviours" as the aliens seem to have reported "brain sucked" two X-COM operatives during the investigation.
In other news, a UFO was recovered after a brief battle between X-COM and alien forces just several minutes ago by a passing Valkyrie interceptor. With X-COM being intent on determining the purpose and origin behind the aliens, much like the First and Second Alien Wars of the past, the organisation now appears to be in a race against time to save humanity. Stay tuned for further updates!
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Well, first engagements in the city and there are already reports of alien activity. Great....... Oh well. Hopefully, we can stop them.

Great story! Have you considered posting a copy of it on the OpenApoc forums (http://openapoc.org/forums/general-discussion.1/)?

Attention, this is MPTV with the latest news updates!
X-COM forces have reportedly raided the Temple of Apocalypse again, with relatively light losses on X-COM's side, and only one confirmed Cultist having reportedly survived. He told MPTV reporters that "it was a complete massacre" with the organisation's agents having reportedly killed most of his friends and associates at the time of the raid.
A few hours later, X-COM reportedly began investigations on both Sanctuary Clinic and Megapol, suspecting of having alien infiltrators embedded within both entities. The organisation's suspicions were confirmed when Enforcer Academy was investigated and several alien lifeforms were spotted inside the building. In the meantime, Megapol has closed the Academy until next week.
However, despite X-COM's recent successes against alien and cultist forces, alongside their cooperation with Megapol, Sanctuary Clinic and Lifetree have both expressed concerns regarding what has been deemed as "unwarranted investigations" into the former's activities in the aftermath of the investigation at the Phoenix Sanatorium yesterday. Despite these concerns, it does express that X-COM's investigations into the organisation may be "a necessary evil for our MegaPrimus operations".
In other news, a joint X-COM-Megapol operation against a raid by the Diablo gang has been successful in defending Law Control Station from the criminal network. However, Megapol chief François Le Ron has told MPTV reporters that the area around the station had reportedly taken "mild damage", and expressed gratitude to X-COM's support in their law enforcement efforts and has even been key in providing intelligence to X-COM agents in the fight against the aliens. Stay tuned for further updates!
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
So, new plan. At the end of each day in-game, I could always just have news reports by MPTV on the events that transpired throughout the day. Anyway, I hope this format is more consistent, considering my initial posts were not exactly consistent anyhow. :(

Attention, this is MPTV with the latest news updates!
X-COM forces had once again raided the Temple of the Apocalyspe, according to eyewitnesses earlier today, as the defenders were massacred in what was (mostly) a one-sided battle between Cultist forces and X-COM agents. The Cult of Sirius' High Priest for the MegaPrimus chapter of the Cult has called X-COM's recent raids as "a deliberate act to destroy not only our alien friends, but their followers as well", claiming that X-COM is "the real enemy of humanity" and not the aliens. With this Cultist vs X-COM conflict spanning the whole city, local authorities are already considering the designation of the Cult of Sirius as a terrorist group.
In other news, Megapol has launched a retaliatory attack against Diablo after yesterday's attempt at the Law Control Station by the criminal organisation. With Chief Le Ron proclaiming that "Megapol will fight criminals wherever they are in our city", Megapol's efforts seemed to have intensified against the gangs, while X-COM has turned to combating the Cult of Sirius and the aliens. Stay tuned for further updates!
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Well, at least I can just do these reports at the end of each day in the game. Hopefully, this will be a successful war for X-COM like the previous two conflicts. :P

Attention, this is MPTV with the latest news updates!
After a series of coordinated attacks against the Cult of Sirius by X-COM agents, the High Priest has vowed that X-COM will not only be destroyed in retribution, but made to suffer for these repeated "desecrations of our sacred temples". How this is to be seen has yet to be determined by Megapol authorities.
Hours later, another incursion emerged from the Dimensional Gates as X-COM forces and Megapol officers engaged in brutal fighting against the alien UFOs. Shortly after the incursion, X-COM had responded to what has been reported as an alien infiltration attempt. Megapol officials and the Director of X-COM Operations at MegaPolis have all handed out warnings to avoid the area due to the possibility of a "Multiworm Infestation" that, although X-COM had cleared before, the possibility of such an infestation still being loose in the area remains to be seen.
Lifetree employees earlier today have reportedly been evacuated from the Borsche Institute following reports of alien activity in the building. With some civilians injured and a few already dead, the building has been placed on lockdown until the damages are repaired. Lifetree executives have refused to comment on the situation so far.
In other news, earlier today, local police and Diablo gangsters engaged in brutal vehicle combat near the Campesino Apartments in an attempt to crack down on crime in the area. Megapol officials described the operation as successful, having "prevented further crimes by Diablo for the time being". Stay tuned for further updates!

Attention, this is MPTV with the latest news updates!
X-COM forces earlier today managed to prevent the aliens from taking control of the Extropian Party's offices in what appears to be a coordinated alien effort at taking control of many aspects of MegaPrimus' society, including society, the city's economy and government. Chairman Thomas Locke has thanked X-COM for their efforts to "protect our city's leaders and ensure the safety of our citizens".
Just hours later, X-COM had reportedly been able to root out a similar infiltration attempt at Synthemesh's Edifice Tower, which has officially been locked down by Megapol and closed until the damages are repaired in the building. Synthemesh has yet to comment on the situation, but it is expected that this and the infiltration attempt of the Extropians will not be the last such attempts the aliens will make.
In other news, Judgement Center was attacked by Diablo gangsters earlier today and were successfully driven out by Megapol officers on the scene before they had a chance to escape. Chief Le Ron praised the efforts of "our city's brave police officers in ensuring that crime remains in check" and proclaimed that Megapol "will not take this attack lightly". Stay tuned for further updates!
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Well, speaking of Diablo. I am going to have to root out the aliens infiltrating that criminal organisation just to make Megapol's job easier. :P

Attention, this is MPTV with the latest news updates!
X-COM forces seem to have resumed their attacks against the Cult of Sirius after a lull in anti-Cultist operations yesterday as reports of fighting inside the Temple of the Apocalypse, and the Temple of the Millennium seem to have emerged in the early morning hours. Later today, the High Priest vowed to "continue the fight for our prosperous future and those of our alien friends".
Just hours beforehand, X-COM forces were reportedly on the scene at Scrooge Mansions in an attempt to clear out a minor alien infestation of that area of MegaPrimus. Diablo gangsters managed to kill any remaining aliens with very little, if any losses. A spokesperson for the leader of the gang known only as "Lucifer" expressed that "few outsiders have ever gained the trust of Diablo, and X-COM seems to have started becoming one of those outsider groups that we could do business with". Despite this, the Director of MegaPrimus Operations at X-COM has refused to comment.
Just minutes ago, X-COM had prevented the aliens from shutting down MegaPrimus' power grid at the Energen Building, with the company having temporarily closed off sections of the plant until the damages can be repaired. However, non-essential workers have been recommended to remain in their homes until the damages at the plant are repaired and as a precaution to avoid accidentally luring alien infiltrators.
In other news, fighting between Diablo gangs and Megapol officers continues to erupt in Diablo territory as the body count between the two organisations continues to rise and Megapol finds itself stretched thin fighting both the gangs and the aliens at this time. Megapol has recommended citizens to avoid both the Campesino Apartments and Scrooge Mansions as a means to ensure the safety of MegaPrimus' citizens. Stay tuned for further updates!

I have no idea which is worse now: gang violence, Cultists or aliens. *facepalms*

Attention, this is MPTV with the latest news updates!
X-COM forces continue to attack temples belonging to the Cult of Sirius as the resumed fighting between the two organisations enters its second day. With the alien threat having been quiet today, X-COM forces have decided to focus on the Cult until the aliens make their next move. The High Priest of the MegaPrimus chapter has reportedly been unable to speak to GNN reporters due to a meeting with the Sirius Council in Seattle tomorrow morning scheduled, likely due to X-COM's aggressive anti-Cultist campaign in the city.
In other news, Diablo and Megapol engagements seem to have been at a lull in recent days, as neither side can achieve an advantage over the other. With Megapol's crackdown on the Psiclone market seemingly having been admitted to have yielded "mixed results" according to Chief Le Ron, the conflict between the two seems to have become a sort of stalemate. Stay tuned for further updates!

Well, at least Megapol can help kill aliens. :P

Attention, this is MPTV with the latest news updates!
X-COM forces raided the Cultists once again earlier today in the middle of the Sirius Council's conference in Seattle, with the other chapters of the Cult expressing dissatisfaction with performance against X-COM forces in MegaPrimus. Grand Priest Volker Hans has already told GNN reporters that "High Priest Holland is no longer going to be a concern", though what he meant by this comment is still being debated.
Hours later, heavy fighting was reported by eyewitnesses near the government's Warehouse Nine and the Civic Project that was abandoned two years ago. Alien UFOs were then cleared out one by one with X-COM reported to have taken heavy losses according to both eyewitnesses and X-COM's Director of MegaPrimus Operations.
As a result of what was suspected to be a series of landings by alien forces, X-COM has cleared out the abandoned Civic Project as Megapol has locked down the area to all citizens, despite the area being in gang territory. Reports of fighting between Osiron gangsters and MegaPol officers have already emerged from the area while X-COM was busy clearing MarsSec's Warehouse Two from alien infiltrators after MarsSec mercenaries guarding the place were reportedly killed by alien forces before X-COM arrived.
After this, X-COM's remaining agents investigated all government-owned buildings in the city, resulting in a firefight against a small Hyperworm infestation of the Babylon Apartments. However, some officials expressed criticism due to X-COM's attempt to investigate the Senate itself in a recent patrol. However, after the apartments were cleared, they have since retracted their concerns.
In other news, X-COM has begun to suffer a shortage of agents due to recent losses in the field against the aliens. However, there appear to be efforts to replace lost agents as the MegaPrimus War continues to ravage the city. Stay tuned for further updates!

Well, agent shortage = Oh oh.........I am getting stretched to the limit. :(

Attention, this is MPTV with the latest news updates!
Transtellar Spacelines has just closed earlier today following an investigation by X-COM agents and subsequent reports of brutal room to room fighting. X-COM casualties were reported to be light, according to eyewitnesses. Transtellar's CEO Ibrahim Al-Salim thanked X-COM's intervention into the area, effectively keeping the aliens at MegaPrimus and away from the rest of Earth or the colonies.
In other news, X-COM forces once again raided the Temple of the Apocalypse and during an inspection by a subordinate to the Sirius Council, said inspector was killed in the middle of the raid. Following this attack, the Cult of Sirius has started to take a more militant stance across the globe. Analysts are beginning to fear that the Cult of Sirius could turn to terrorism as a means to spread the war outside of MegaPrimus. Stay tuned for further updates!

Well, that day was a quiet one. Hopefully the next day is more news-worthy. :P

Attention, this is MPTV with the latest news updates!
X-COM forces have been reportedly investigating signs of alien activity resuming in Civic Project, while eyewitnesses reported severe fires raging throughout the abandoned complex. Firefighters are already on the scene attempting to put the fires out and prevent the city from being set ablaze at this time.
This was all following a series of alien attacks by UFOs appearing over the city as an unidentified UFO was shot down, while the alien probes managed to escape. However, X-COM was able to secure the crashed craft, and subsequently investigate Chronos Block, Civic Project, where the fires still rage, and Warehouse One.
Later today, while fires were still being put out at the Civic Project, an alien incident was reported at the Gygax Memorial Building, in which X-COM forces had cleared out the place, and evacuation of the building was conducted after fires broke out all over the place. Like in Civic Project, firefighters are still struggling to contain the flames. Solmine has already reported a loss in revenue as a result of the Gygax fire, and have have to pull its headquarters elsewhere as MegaPolis is beginning to devolve into a war zone.
In other news, construction crews are still clearing up the rubble from an X-COM investigation on Eden Mansions in the early morning hours today, with a structural chunk of one of the mansions being reportedly demolished by weapons fire as a consequence of collateral damage. All entries to non-essential personnel into the area have already been denied as the entire area is now on lockdown. Stay tuned for further updates!
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Well, this is bad. I may have accidentally used incendiaries to clear out the aliens in two buildings and during the fighting, they literally went up in flames. :/ Sorry. My mistake.

Attention, this is MPTV with the latest news updates!
Earlier today, X-COM forces were able to clear out Babylon Apartments again after an investigation into the building for alien activity. The government thanked the "brave efforts of X-COM's forces in defending MegaPrimus from alien attacks, and perhaps, once again, save Earth". The Senate has already passed a measure to increase surveillance efforts against alien forces and is expected to come into effect later next week.
In other news, the fires from yesterday's engagements with alien forces seem to have significantly calmed at this point, with the last of the fires still being put out. However, all civilians were evacuated from those areas to ensure their safety and those of other citizens. Stay tuned for further updates!

Attention, this is MPTV with the latest news updates!
Alien UFOs were intercepted by X-COM forces near the Senate earlier today as the organisation continues its defence of MegaPrimus. However, while the aliens' original target seemed to have indicated being the Senate, the nearby Karpov Building after the brief battle was reported to have been crawling with alien forces. X-COM dispatched its agents as quickly as it could and began to clear out the building and evacuate all remaining civilians. A spokesperson for Cyberweb's CEO thanked X-COM's efforts for protecting its assets from alien infiltrators and called to the other companies to "step up their support for X-COM".
In other news, the Cult of Sirius' MegaPrimus chapter has started to report financial issues due to X-COM's prior raids and repeated loss of members to X-COM attacks. As a result, an emergency session of the Sirius Council has been called on Seattle to settle the issue of what appears to be a power struggle within the Cult's MegaPrimus Chapter. Stay tuned for further updates!

Attention, this is MPTV with the latest news updates!
Cultist forces and X-COM agents exchanged weapons fire at the Temple of the Apocalypse once again, as X-COM resumed its crackdown on the Cult of Sirius in the city. X-COM's Director of Operations in MegaPrimus has already told reporters that "MegaPrimus is no place for terrorists", likely referring to the Cult of Sirius and it's pro-alien agenda.
In other news, High Priest Holland's body was found in an alleyway earlier today, just shortly after the raid on the Temple of the Apocalypse by X-COM agents. Megapol authorities suspect that the Sirius Council dispatched agents to assassinate him for incompetence, though the results of the investigation and autopsy report are still yet to be seen. Stay tuned for further updates!

This should be fun. I am going to check if the aliens have infiltrated anyone else yet since my last alien-clearing operation. :/

Attention, this is MPTV with the latest news updates!
X-COM forces have successfully cleared out the Senate building after several alien organisms burst into a debate on whether to pass the MegaPrimus Safety and Defense Act, or the MPSD Act as it is popularly known, which was supposed to pass into law earlier today. However, the vote on the matter has since been delayed until 25 March due to the recent alien attack and a Megapol investigation into senators suspected of having ties to the Cult of Sirius, which X-COM raided earlier this morning, and may have been in collusion with the aliens to assist in providing the information and timing of the attack.
During the battle, the X-COM Director of Operations at MegaPrimus told reporters that an X-COM agent was "brainsucked" during the fight and while X-COM forces tried to subdue to former agent, he has managed to escape. The suspect, whom is now believed to only have his external human-like appearance by X-COM scientists and Megapol officers, has been identified as Gennadi Chuckarin. He is considered armed and extremely dangerous. If any citizens can report on his appearance, please contact either Megapol or X-COM.
Prior to this incident, X-COM forces investigated the Karpov Building after an alert by the staff emerged from the building in regards to reports of alien activity in the building. X-COM was able to successfully clear out the building with minimal losses. Cyberweb once again thanked X-COM for the attempt to clear out the building and claimed that this second infestation has merely emboldened their pleas to the rest of the city for fighting the aliens and increased its lobbying efforts in favour of the MPSD Act.
In other news, an X-COM investigation cleared out an infestation in the Technocrat's Uhuru Tower in an attempt to search for their former agent, only to be met by the infestation in the building. Megapol has launched an investigation into the party's activities given the timing of X-COM's arrival to the complex being in the aftermath of the alien attempt on the Senate. Stay tuned for further updates!

Well, that will end nicely....NOT.

21 March, 2084
Attention, this is MPTV with the latest news updates!
X-COM forces had reportedly raided the Temple of the Millenium earlier today as eyewitnesses reported bitter fighting by Cultist forces and X-COM using what appears to be disruptor weapons similar to the ones used by the aliens, which are currently being sold to Megapol and MarsSec for their own R&D purposes and use at the moment. With the Cult of Sirius' MegaPrimus chapter lacking the leadership of High Priest Holland, whose replacement is scheduled to be announced tomorrow, analysts have put the Cult's activities in the city into question.
In other news, MegaPol's investigation into the Technocrats has been criticised by party members to serve as a justification for the Extropians to "enforce the will of their big business interests". However, Megapol has also been called to investigate into the Extropians' activities as a means to find out the culprit that aided the aliens in their attack on the Senate yesterday. With the MegaPrimus War continuing throughout the city at a time when the two parties are polarised, the timing for these criticisms have resulted in what analysts consider to be "an increasingly volatile environment" within the city. Stay tuned for further updates!

Attention, this is MPTV with the latest news updates!
After X-COM had shot down several UFOs over the Senate and the surrounding buildings, X-COM began an attempt to clear out the Karpov Building, the Uhuru Building and the Senate once again of any alien forces. The entire effort, according to the Director of Operations at MegaPrimus was "a costly success", due to significant losses on X-COM's part trying to clear out an ever-adapting alien threat. With so few agents left, X-COM may be forced to take more desperate measures in its battle against alien forces.
In other news, Megapol has received an order from the Senate to assist X-COM agents in wiping out the Cult of Sirius from the city as officers have begun arresting suspected Cultist sympathisers ahead of the official vote on the MPSD Act, which has been met with controversy from members of both parties, S.E.L.F and the Mutant Alliance though the Cult of Sirius has been especially harsh on its criticism. However, with the alien threat continuing to evolve, the MSPD has been called "necessary" by corporations like MarsSec, Transtellar, Cyberweb, Solmine, Energen, and the Gravball League. Stay tuned for further updates!

Attention, this is MPTV with the latest news updates!
With the alien activity seeming to have lulled, alongside X-COM anti-Cultist raids due to yesterday's anti-alien operations taking a heavy toll on the organisation, Megapol continues its investigation into both political parties of the Senate, having revealed several documents from Technocratic and Extropian Senators alike having received funding from the Cult of Sirius, with a document from Senator Gordon Mead, whom is related to former US President Philip R. Mead seeming to have been involved in some Cultist-funded activity to openly undermine X-COM and assist the aliens in some form. What form that takes has yet to be seen, though Senator Mead had denied those claims, calling the documents a "fabrication" and accused Megapol of being involved a conspiracy to overthrow the government, which he claims is funded by X-COM. Those claims at this time have been dismissed as "an attempt to derail the investigation from its objectives".
In other news, the brainsucked X-COM agent known as Gennadi Chuckarin was killed while attempting to escape pursuit from Megapol offiers earlier today, with X-COM having been unable to intervene due to its anti-alien activities taking priority at the time. X-COM scientists have since obtained the corpse for study into the effects of the brainsuckers' seeming ability to mind control people up prior to its death on human beings. Stay tuned for further updates!

Attention, this is MPTV with the latest news updates!
X-COM forces were able to successfully clear out the Senate building, the Karpov Building and the Uhuru Towers of alien activity earlier today after UFOs managed to successfully land infiltration parties into Cyberweb, the government and the Technocrats. However, despite X-COM's successes, the Director of Operation at MegaPrimus has admitted that X-COM forces were dwindling in the number of agents and that X-COM is losing more agents than it can replace. However, the Director has vowed to "defend the city at any cost".
In other news, X-COM forces prior to the alien investigations were engaged in brutal fighting with Cultist forces in both of their city temples earlier today as the Cult of Sirius' MegaPrimus chapter begins to have reportedly suffered from financial issues. The Sirius Council has already decided to take steps to intervene and "defeat the X-COM infidels in any way possible". Already pro-Cultist terrorism has seen an increase due to X-COM activities in MegaPrimus, while the city prepares to vote on the MPSD Act tomorrow morning. Stay tuned for further updates!

Attention, this is MPTV with the latest news updates!
As the Senate goes to the floor to vote on the MPSD Act, anti-government protests were met with lethal force by MarsSec and Megapol authorities earlier today, which soon escalated into riots outside the Senate. However, despite this, the MPSD Act has been officially passed into law, effective 27 March, 2084, with split support from both parties and a slim majority in the Senate. Megapol has already begun its hunt for suspected Cultists as the MegaPrimus War continues.
In other news, a terrorist attack was reported near MarsSec's Arms One factory earlier today in what appears to be a response to the MPSD Act. Despite the investigation still not being complete, already there are suspicions that the Cultists could be responsible for the attack, even as they are already being arrested and hunted down at this time. Stay tuned for further updates!

Attention, this is MPTV with the latest news updates!
X-COM forces raiding the Cult of Sirius earlier today in the aftermath of yesterday's Senate vote against the Temple of the Millennium recently released their latest intelligence report on the organisation's activities on MegaPrimus, including an analysis pointing out that the Cult's financial assets "have taken a serious blow with every raid since the Dimension Gates first appeared". They also identified possible Cultist sympathisers embedded deep within the government and expressed "80% confidence" that Senator Mead may have played a "significant role" in the attack on the Senate last week. The X-COM report on the Cult of Sirius also expressed concerns that the Cult may have "infiltrated and bribed Senators from both parties to protect their assets from Megapol investigators and X-COM agents" to the point that a "conspiracy within the Senate may have been in place by the time of the attack". However, the report is believed to be preliminary, as it is not expected to be complete until next week.
In the early morning hours, X-COM forces were able to successfully shoot down and recover a UFO similar to the ones that reportedly escaped over the past week, with X-COM agents taking minimal losses in the recovery attempt. Shortly after, though, the Senate building was cleared of alien forces after a hostage situation where civilian government employees were threatened by the aliens. Despite taking heavy losses, X-COM called it, and the subsequent clearings of the Uhuru Tower and Thomas Moore Towers, where the activist organisation known as S.E.L.F. operates. Despite the government's insistence that X-COM disavow them and the Mutant Alliance, the Director of Operations at MegaPrimus has repeatedly told MPTV reporters that "they may not look like mot people, nor have the same ideas we do, but any support in fighting the aliens is better than none".
In other news, the Senate has ordered Megapol to increase surveillance efforts against the Cultists and other criminal gangs in the city, with new infrastructure to be set up where and when needed. Citizens are already being advised not to go near gang territory or near the Cultist temples in an attempt to reduce the Cultists' support and reduce the probability of Cultist-related terrorism. Stay tuned for further updates!

Attention, this is MPTV with the latest news updates!
Reports of heavy fighting in the Senate Building earlier today were confirmed by Megapol officers between X-COM forces and alien troops in the area, as eyewitnesses reported explosions along the building. The Senate was confirmed to not be in session at the time of the attack. Shortly afterwards, the Karpov Building and George Orwell Block were cleared of alien attackers, with S.E.L.F. having its leader, simply known as "Liberty" thanking X-COM for its "continued support towards the cause for our rights as fellow human beings", despite the reported damage in all three engagements.
In other news, X-COM also conducted another raid at the Temple of the Millenium earlier today, as the Cultists continued to launch terrorist attacks into the city, with help from Megapol informants deep inside the Cult. The informants could not be reached for comment in order to maintain their anonymity. As a result, Megapol has intensified anti-Cultist actions under the MPSD Act and with anti-MPSD protests having been met with lethal force by Megapol officers, MarsSec has offered its services to certain companies with Megapol's resources stretched thin throughout the city. Stay tuned for further updates!

Attention, this is MPTV with the latest news updates!
X-COM forces recently engaged Cultists in yet another battle in the Temple of the Millennium, with the organisation now actively on the defence as its financial assets begin to run dry within the city. X-COM's Director of Operations at MegaPrimus and Megapol Chief De Ron have called the operation and other similar ones all over the city as a "significant success" and that "X-COM will now have the aliens face experienced and prepared X-COM agents for the foreseeable future".
In other news, the Senate has offered the opportunity for S.E.L.F. and the Mutant Alliance to have some degree of representation in the Senate after the alien debacle is resolved. Their leaders have accepted the offer, with Liberty being reported to have said "We are proud that our people are no longer treated as outcasts by this city's government. However, there is still a long way to go for android rights. This cannot be limited to legal action, but it must also be a societal change." Similar comments were echoed by the Mutant Alliance's leadership. Stay tuned for further updates!

Attention, this is MPTV with the latest news updates!
X-COM forces have already been reported successful in their latest raid against the Temple of the Millennium, where X-COM forces took very little losses compared to the Cultists' significant casualty rates. Meanwhile, analysts continue to determine that at this rate, X-COM may as well have effectively rendered the Cultists as less of a threat and more of a nuisance.
In other news, Diablo is becoming increasingly critical of X-COM, pointing out that the organisation has become a "puppet to the government", despite their support of S.E.L.F. and the Mutant Alliance yesterday, in the aftermath of the police resuming hostilities with the gang. Stay tuned for further updates!

Attention, this is MPTV with the latest news updates!
X-COM forces have managed to successfully engage alien forces all over the northern end of the city, clearing out every building of alien infiltrators, despite X-COM having been unable to shoot down the UFOs being unleashed against the city. The Senate thanked the organisation's efforts and is scheduled to build a MegaPrimus War memorial upon conclusion of the conflict.
In other news, the Cult's Sirius Council has decided to concentrate its efforts on MegaPrimus to "destroy the X-COM infidels that are killing and massacring our members on behalf of a corrupt government". As a result, the rest of the NAA has just decided to join MegaPrimus in designating the Cult of Sirius as a terrorist group, with the organisation being responsible for multiple terrorist attacks across North America in the last few years. Stay tuned for further updates!

Attention, this is MPTV with the latest news updates!
X-COM forces have managed to clear out the northern end of the city surrounding the Senate, while also clearing Thomas Moore Tower, and Superdynamics' Megaflyer Two factory in an attempt to clear out alien infiltrators. The city government, despite X-COM's success, has started to take a financial hit as a result of alien activity in the past few years as investors continue to become increasingly reluctant to invest on MegaPrimus, as heavy fighting continues throughout the city.
In other news, Senator Mead has been arrested by Megapol officers earlier today on the charges of conspiracy, treason, obstruction of justice and multiple other charges. The trial is expected to begin after the 84th anniversary of the Battle of Cydonia that ended the First Alien War. Senator Mead's legal team has denied the accusations against him as "baseless". Stay tuned for further updates!
