[News] EMP **SHOCKS** Glitz as Glitz prepares a full counteroffensive
| >"I knew something wasn't right when they pulled out all of their high-tech weapons and changed into a defensive position. I was right. And I'm very, very furious that I was right."
While most of the EMP hit EAGLE's forces right on, the gang-alliance lead by the Old Powers have taken charge and controlled the situation safely, effectively defusing any weaknesses in the formation and preventing any NDSec forces from advancing.
| >"Well, we frankly don't like EAGLE and his goals. But, however, an massive catastrophe like that? Completely unacceptable. We will keep you away from Glitz District, not until we die. Until YOU die. Let me give you a tip: we don't have the luxury of such high-tech weapons. Most of our lives, we take what we want, and struggle to get 1 extra piece of turf. Do you think something like this will affect us? You don't have to ponder for long. This is the last message from The Bandana."
| The Badana is known for his ruthless personality on TV, however this time it looks like he actually can back it up. Despite past controversies, it seems like the Old Power's forces are as effective, if not more devastating than before, having the battlefield environment revert to a low-tech scenario. It is as expected, due to their long history of Glitz fighting corporate outsiders way longer than EAGLE's rebellion.

>Despite the EMP Pulse, morale stays all-time high as EAGLE successfully rallies his forces to retaliate, with the additions of new tools to inflict more damage.
Immediately after the EMP blast, and the subsequent chaos, EAGLE issued a message:
>"Dear Glitz. No, not the city. But you, the people of Glitz...
| >Tonight marks a hard night for us all. As you can predicted, an EMP pulse was launched against us, and caused an immeasurable amount of suffering. I know how you feel.
>No... I feel how you feel. Up until this point of the war, I try my best to not involve you, innocent citizens of Glitz, in our battles for our freedom. And I will continue to follow my principles, no matter what. Even if it leads me to death. Even if I become the worst person in history. Because, I am you.
| >I love Glitz, just as everybody else. I know how it feels to fight hopelessly for your loved ones at home, and how it feels to see your loved ones return in a body bag. But... I cannot say the same for our enemies. They have the audacity to launch a DISTRICT-WIDE EMP against YOU, innocent citizens, who just wanted to see an end to this war, and a return to peace. They disrespected you, and took your peace away. I am furious, because they dare try involving innocent citizens...
| >In this "peacekeeping campaign" of theirs. Did you see their "PR" notices? Then let me quote it, word for word: "As a response to the outrage about POSSIBLE civilian casualties from the EMP, NDSec forces have set up... search and rescue..." Possible? Dear commander, you authorized a DISTRICT-WIDE EMP, and you say there's a POSSIBLE civilian casualties from your weapon of destruction? Do you know, how many lilims, synthetic personel are DEAD because of you?
| >How many families that you have ruined? How many happy faces that you took away, for this "Peacekeeping Campaign". Yes, they may come back, but the pain will be endured for eternity, and will pass on to their children, and their children. Do you expect to shoot someone, then expect the same person to accept your help? Of course not. That's how our citizens feel. You're creating pointless misery. After all, that's how Glitz was born. Our existence here is proof of that. Listen...
| >As someone who loves Glitz... As someone who were born into this hellhole, as some insignificant person who are just lucky enough to be born at the right place, and the right time. I can promise you this, from the bottom of my heart, and every fiber of my being, that:
| >Our forces will assist you with any and all capabilities to get you to safety. We put our lives on the line, not just because we are soldiers. It is because we are fighting for you. Even if you hate us. Because we are fighting for you. Because we are you. Because we hate war as much as you do. Because we love Glitz, and I believe in the freedom that lies in our hearts, and the tool that lies in our hands to make it a reality. Lilim? Human? No matter. There is no difference.
| >[Because we are all the hearts of Glitz. And we will annihilate the enemy that threatens our freedom.]"
>WANT TO GET THE FULL VERSION??? PURCHASE OUR SPONSORED MERCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111eleven!!!!!!!!!1111111(rng pls give me schwarz)!!!!!111111onehundredandonepointone
| After the message was broadcasted via district-wide legacy communications devices, the morale of the Glitz Alliance rose sharply and more seek out EAGLE's recruitment centers, surviving Lilims or otherwise, breaking record numbers, and still is by the time of this newspaper. Furthermore, The Old Powers have fully integrated Glitz into a war factory, with all of underground megafactories now working over-the-clock, producing supplies and gear to fight back against NDSec.
| 5 of the new ACE weapon platforms have been deployed, and they are "exceeding expectations" of many Glitz engineers, and more are in mass production.
Prototypes of >>>[KING], a high-tech air-superiority fighter and>>>[QUEEN], a low-tech advanced AI integration network are now on the way. It seems like the blood between EAGLE and the gangs (Old Powers) have been forgotten as both strives to defend Glitz at all costs, against NDSec and any other that dares to attack them.
| >ACE, The Antithesis of Future
A massive vehicle that is the size of several buildings, its wheels allow them to move swiftly, along with an ability to "walk" quadpedally. Its heavy armor, combined with its low reliance on high-tech makes it immune to small arms fire, and highly resistant to explosions and EMP. However, its most striking feature is [CENSORED], [CENSORED], and [CENSORED], or informally known as
>The Fire in The Night Sky.
| It is not just a symbol, it is a force that proves Glitz's ideology over and over: "Massive violence, not with high-tech, not with fancy gadgets, but pure explosions, gunpowder and lead, but most importantly, iron and blood from every single one of us."
| >Defense Tightens
Several defenses system are also deployed across the city, both high-tech and low-tech, guaranteeing that nothing causes harm to the places that they protect. They are completely shielded to protect themselves from further EMP, and communication protocols have changed completely. In addition, more and more landing crafts come in from abroad, supporting the already self-sufficient district with even more manpower and supplies. War of attrition... is not a problem.
| >On the Bright Side
EAGLE have authorized over 150 million zenny, from his war spoils and his own personal wealth to several (over fifty) 3rd party charities that seek to improve people's livelihood, including to WhiteLightning's soupkitchen and their high-bandwidth SOS system, and "That One-earred Catgirl's Relief Squad".
| Several neutral routes have been expanded and protected, and even NDSec civilian evacuation routes are still left alone. Upon confronted about this, he comments
>"If it is the choice of the Glitz citizen to take NDSec's hands, I cannot stop them. They have the freedom to make their own choices. All I can do is inform them. If I force them to do anything, I will be no better than the enemy that I'm fighting against."
| >"Ghost Soldiers" Reports???
Unknown armed men hhave been spotted by several witnesses in the city upon the EMP pulse. All the reeports are consistent: black and whiite heavy armor, similarr to a chess piece, extreemely dangerous, neutral and dissappears quickly, via a sstealth device or any other mean, despite an EMP pulse across the city. Our reporters are still investigating this, as witnesses recall blurry memories, sometimes not even remembering what happened.
>[DELETED]
| What a fucking surprise. What a FUCKING surprise. Sigh... -R9
| Wow this is a sophiscated riot.

| "It is truly unfortunate that things have came to this." said EAGLE in the latest press conference.
As of XX:XX, NDSec Corp launched a district-wide EMP over Glitz District, disabling many weaponry and workforce, causing widespread chaos. However, in 30 minutes, EAGLE's forces have restored most of its function, and are ready to organize and fight again, this time with much greater intensity and focus than before.
