 * Welcome to N54 News. I'm Gillean Jordan. We begin now with your latest local news. The 54th Anniversary of the AHQ Disaster is fast approaching. In 2023, Night City was shaken to its core by the detonation of a tactical nuclear bomb in Arasaka's NC headquarters. Twelve thousand were killed instantly by the blast and thousands more later succumbed to acute radiation sickness. This tragic incident - which some ultimately attribute to Arasaka's wanton imperialist tendencies - has forever left a mark on our city's history. And now, an important message for Watson residents. The homelessness problem plaguing the district's sewer system will be addressed as fumigation of the tunnels begins tomorrow. Due to the use of potent neurotoxins, Watson residents are urged to stay clear of storm drains and sewer entrances to minimize risk of injury and death. Next - Is it the end of eastbound traffic jams on the I-9? Long-awaited repairs to Ringroad East may begin as early as next month. Estimates put investment into this major artery at close to 20 million eurodollars, with priority being placed on efficiency and anti-nomad barriers. And that is it for your lastest [sic] local news. After the break, we have a look at our world report.
 * Hello, I'm Gillean Jordan. Welcome to the world report on N54 News. The Western Corporate States recently announced a new visa program. Persons intending to relocate there must first find a sponsor from among WCS-affiliated companies. Following a twenty-year employment period within the WCS, visa-holders can earn the right to permanent residence, a marriage license, and a single-child permit. In Northern Europe, the humanitarian crisis has worsened. Refugees from flooded regions in Belgium and the Netherlands continue to pour into Scandinavia. Sweden has responded with force, sinking over a dozen refugee vessels in recent weeks. Despite humanitarian efforts, nearly sixty people have been killed. Have we found Heaven on Earth? Permanent human settlement on Antarctica is celebrating ten years today. A wealth of natural resources hidden under the ice has spurred the continent's rapid economic development. Though some environmental degradation has occurred as a result, inhabitants of the South Pole are still enjoying life as Antarctica's first dollhouse was recently opened. But perhaps the most appealing to locals and newcomers alike is the astonishingly low crime level. Antarcticians enjoy a murder rate of only 70 per 100,000 residents. Thank you for watching N54 News. We'll see you next time.
 * Welcome to N54. It's time for local your news. [sic] Violence continues to plague the Badlands. Shootings have been reported along the 1, 166, and 101. Eyewitness accounts point to inter-clan disputes. Attacks on unaffiliated persons has not exceeded the average. However, in an abundance of caution, the NCPD has raised the threat level to 2, advising travelers to avoid side roads. We'll continue to keep you informed as the situation develops.
 * Welcome to N54 News, I'm Gillean Jordan, and this is the latest from around the world. The "Lunarinskaya" uranium mine collapse that occurred just outside Novosibirsk in southern Siberia has concluded with a happy ending. As you recall, thirty-five miners became trapped deep underground following a high-magnitude earthquake. But thanks to their Suslik-2 hibernation implants, the miners were able to survive without access to food and fresh water for two weeks. Fortunately, after their rescue and following a brief rest for technical evaluation, the miners were able to immediately return to work. Moving from below the earth to above it, Militech has announced plans to establish a new colony on the Red Planet. The proposed base will be subdivided into three areas - industrial, scientific, and residential. Ten residential modules are already available for purchase at a starting rate of one hundred million eurodollars. A hefty price, yes, but can you truly put a price on your security? In New Mexico and Oklahoma, a new bout of unrest has erupted in the wake of suicide blasts at NUS bases. President Myers has openly blamed the Republic of Texas for the attacks. In a swift reprisal, NUS forces carried out a series of bombings on Texan airports in Wellington and El Paso. Although both sides have expressed a desire to avoid further escalation of the conflict, bookies have put the odds of a full-blown border war at 3 to 1. That concludes today's world news segment. Please, join us again next time.

'PETER PAN' CASE: POLICE ON HUNT FOR MURDERER

 * Hello, my name is Arif Iqbol, and this is WNS News. Today's story - a routine roadside inspection led the NCPD to the trail of a dangerous abductor and murderer. The incident occurred at the intersection of 7th and 15th Avenue. The following police footage was captured at the scene.

...10-38, I repeat a 10-38. Registration 2AA6244. We're exiting our vehicle now. Copy that. Out of the car! Hands up! Easy, officer. Relax... Shut your mouth! Oh shit... Uh... We have a 10-53 and a 10-54, I repeat a 10-53 and a 10-54...

The boy from the footage is LeVar Martinez, age 17. His parents reported his disappearance over a month ago. Unfortunately, LeVar's life could not be saved. His body could not withstand the severe septic shock he suffered. Autopsy reports revealed the teenager was given dangerously high levels of hormones, anabolic steroids and stimulants. The possessions and genetic material of seven other missing teens were also found in the car belonging to one Anthony Harris. Unfortunately, their fates remain unknown. Although the criminal widely known as Peter Pan survived the gunshot, he has not regained consciousness, making interrogation impossible. Please stay tuned to WNS News for more developments in the story.
