        Good Morning, The Interstellar Network News is back on the air broadcasting throughout the Earth Alliance and over 2000 colonies and outposts.  The first thing we want to explain is 
        what happened to cause the disruption in service.  The signal from the ISN news service here in Geneva was lost when our facilities were attacked by saboteurs intent on paralyzing all Earth communications systems as a prelude to invasion. In order to divide our forces the saboteurs used our facilities to stellar cast a fake report designed to create the impression that the government itself was taking action against us.  To stop this campaign of misinformation we ourselves pulled the plug on the broadcast.  In the ensuing fire fight government forces recaptured the ISN facilities and apprehended the saboteurs.  We've been working around the clock to repair the damage and now, at last we're back, better then ever. 
            Coming up in the next hour, President Clark accepts a report from the Ministry of Peace on how crime has been virtually eliminated ever since the extremely popular martial law declaration was issued.
