Weather Advisory
The day is hot but some clouds drifting overhead prevent the day from becoming completely oppressive to the residents of the city. The passing clouds usher the occasional breeze that alleviates what could have been an otherwise hot day. The day is manageable and encourages people to the beaches in larger numbers, despite the sun receiving some cover throughout the day. The weather dips down to cooler temperatures as expected but less of a chilly shock.

On a hacked feed...
"Mars, the true cradle of humanity was never meant to be tampered with or taken advantage of...do not fall for the lies that you have been made to believe. Those corporate interlopers, deluded clans and their misguided sheep do not know the true Mars and continue to deface our sacred planet for their own selfish gains. Our planet was never meant for the weak, only the righteous. Crimson Dust will restore Mars, at any cost necessary..."
On New Angeles Sol with Lily Lockwell.
"As SanSan recovers from the wake of an earthquake, we turn our attention to Mars with some unfortunate news. The headquarters of Jemison Astronautics in Bradbury found itself the target of a heinous terrorist attack. Coordinated explosions rocked multiple levels of the corporation. The death toll is reported to be 44 with 73 injuries, many critical and life-threatening. The resulting explosion also caused fractures to the surrounding dome, prompting the Mars Colonial Authority to mandate a containment order until the damages can be repaired. In the wake of the catastrophic damage, the Martian extremist group, Crimson Dust, has claimed responsibility."
A camera change is made and Lily turns accordingly.
"Jemison Astronautics has been instrumental in the growth of the colonization of the solar system, including the terraforming of Mars by meteor mining. Just a year ago, they coordinated with Luna to..."
On Hot Stocks with Gabe Mercer.
"I'm Gabe Mercer and this is Hot Stocks! UH-OH! With the attack from Crimson Dust, it looks like Jemison Astronautics is not only on the red planet but DEEP in the red! Sounds like to me that's a failure to launch!"
Gabe strikes a few buttons, creating the sounds of a powerful rocket being launched before it quickly putters like a bad engine and falls with a comical whistling sound. This is ultimately followed with a Boom!
"You want my advice? Do I need to be any more obvious?! Sell! Sell, right NOW!"
He ushers a round of rapid-fire sound effects, the sound of an old-fashioned cash register full of coins opening continuously. Cha-ching! Cha-ching!
"Don't sit on it or your credits could be going into outer space with Jemison! I'd think twice about any Weyland Consortium stocks too! What is Gagarin Deep Space doing right now? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! Argus Security? They're sleeeeping on the job! If you have any of those, you'd better sell, my friends!"
The sounds of a distant beep in space could be heard in the background, followed by loud snoring. Zzzzz...
