Hi, I am Kristi Andrews and this is Net 54 at 18:04.
Business events dominate the world news this evening, with the worsening global economy producing fierce competition in all industrial areas. Our first pictures this evening come from the Los Angeles Industrial Region, where Petrochem came under attack from an unidentified terrorist group using military weapons. In spite of the fire raging behind him, Petrochem spokesman Dolph Fungun struck an optimistic note:
...all I can say Larry, is that production will not be affected. We will continue to maintain current output levels...
Petrochem stock slid another five points today, despite the confidence of the boardroom, and has now reached its lowest point in seven years.
In the small Caribbean island Republic of Michelais today, former Economic Minister Victor Desyeux spoke out today. He topped last weeks surprise resignation with allegations of human rights abuses by the ruling Tarragou regime. A government spokesman denied the claims. Desyeux's descriptions of torture were allegedly garnered from government documents to which he had access. Thousands of persons have "disappeared" in Michelais. The government blames extremists and foreign terrorists.
The Canal Zone witnessed yet more destruction today as the undeclared war between Langard Shipping and FTL Freight continued. Two tanker currently block the Canal and twelve lives have been lost thus far. Authoriteis in the area describe the situation as delicate since both vessels carry large quantities if CHOOH2 and the possibilities for destruction are endless. Any protracted closure of the Canal would have a severe effect on the world economy, with experts predicting financial ruin for many large corporations.
Coming next: A profile of Kurt Wulf, singer and guitarist with Ragnarok, following his tragic and somewhat bizarre death.
Also, Ronald Reagan dies at last. Net 54 was there with the crowd for the big event.

The jive people talk as one wanders past, the open secrets and the not-so-open. You never know, some of this stuff might even be true.

- The word is that everywhere south of 51st is rife with Arasaka Security. Nobody knows why, but 4 armed AV-6's have been seen and gunfire reported. A netrunner friend tells me that there has been some strange activity up by Arasaka Night City fortress.
- Carmen, the singer/dancer at the Last Waterhole, is supposed to be dead. Some folks say it was the Mirror Man. Some folks say it was the Lizzies.
- Arms sale! Redblock is moving some rather nice Uzi MiniAutos at low prices. Ammunition he also has.
- Vivaldi's opening this week and 4 boostergangs have already claimed it as their turf. The big fight is expected to be this Saturday, so steer clear of 43rd and Merryweather.
- Drugs in short supply are Rain and Gold. The good news is that Elvira is selling Klute in The Batter. Nobody can fail in there tonight. No matter how ugly you are.
- The hot spot in town tight now is Chez Mannie. Apparently some celebrities have been spotted in there of late, enjoying the quiet atmosphere that it's famous for not having.
- Rumors are running throughout the Solo community that someone is hiring large numbers of guns for a raid on a Night City corporation. No Canal Zone veterans. Apparently the candidates must have a radio link.
- Several corporations are secretly working on ways to "cure" cyberpsychos. Only problem is the treatments make you a vegetable - if not something worse.
