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!

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!

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!

I am going to need more agents at this point, I think. Also some extra bases for scientific and manufacturing purposes.

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!

Well, I am just waiting for my agents to recover + get some new agents to replace the dead before the aliens come back.

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!
