NEW SHIP 4 ORBIS-VICTORIA LINE
ORBIS– The Ferry Transit branch of Maple Transportation approved this week of transferring the ship ‘Queen of Mardia’
from the route between New Seoul and Singa to to the route between Orbis and Ellinia. The commission denied rumors the new airship, just built last year, will replace the aging ‘Sixtopia’ which has been in service since 1952.
The Queen of Mardia is 795 feet long from bow to stern, and is equipped with five super power crystals capapble of producing 3.5 gigawatts. The 5 major jet engines and 10 minor jet engines can propel the vessel to 215 miles per hour, almost 3x the speed of the Sixtopia. The new vessel is also equipped with super light sales and hydrium tanks enabling her to ride the winds in the event of engine failure.
This new move has been made by Maple Transit a year after the loss of the ‘Minerva II’ the grand vessel that suffered total engine failure and crashed in the Balrog Lands, taking 241 people with her.

HENESYS–GMs arrested Justice Arrow vice leader Rick Joyce, level 70 hunter, early this morning after a two month investigation into the bombing of a carrier plane last year. The carrier plane was leaving Kerning for the skies over the impoverished areas in the SEA Lands to drop supples for the villages. A planted bomb blew the plane out of the sky 10 minutes after taking off Naples Air Field at Kerning. Rick Joyce is accused of co-ordinating the bombing. A message released to the public in Henesys claims the plane was blown down because the J.A. believed it was transporting stow away hackers. The company who owned the plane have said that they never carried hackers.

KOREAN FOLK TOWN–
KFT villagers are again under extreme stress as the portal in KFT was connected to one at the Zipangu Library in the SEALands, bringing another horde of excited Maplers. Again there was vandalism and harassment just as when KFT was opened to the South via a portal at the Ludus Lakes Regional Library in Ludi earlier this year.

The Maplers have battled the horde on the clock for 2 months and now deem the place safe.

ORBIS–
Several legits are protesting the ‘Third party hacking law’ that was put into law last month. As of May 1, it is now illegal to KS or loot any hackers or to receive training from them. For many, this was an effective method of training.
The government argues, that many have died training this way, and the law has been enacted for safety, as well it will help GMs locate hackers who always teleport when Ksers come by.

HENESYS–
Another ZMM sighting this week- two Zombie Mush Moms were summoned by high levels posing as noobs at the hunting ground, resulting in 25 noob deaths. the instigators got away under cover, but Henesys townsfolk are to remain on high alert for the future.
