The Month in a Knights Life update and its big section of in-world narrative from a Knights perspective was so well received that we have decided to focus this update on a similar theme. Weve pulled a ton of headlines and story hooks from the story prep work weve been doing for the game and compiled them into a month of news and media simstream headlines flowing across the New Boston matrix.
Cyber Knights setting in 2231 has given us a unique ability to dream beyond the standard near-term cyberpunk tropes. Were extremely excited to share this world with you in all its madness, hype and beauty.
We hope you'll join us on Kickstarter and pledge to the campaign today to pick up a heavily discounted pre-order copy, join the alpha team or more!
Of course, the news is focused on the big events and the disasters but -- what can we say, it's a mess out there in New Boston!

Rising simstream star Cody Nari, who was reported missing two months ago, has been found in a residential tower in the Atlanta MetroDome. His cause of death has not been reported and rumors continue to swirl regarding an allegedly off-contract recording project Nari was said to be working on.

The Jupiter Corp deep space shuttle Glacier 7 successfully docked at the Fadelight Constellation in orbit of earth, its first stop before starting its three month trip to the Mars colonies. Global performing sensation LTS visited with VIP fans on Fadelight. The band told reporters that they will be spending some of the journey in cryostasis and some working on their next holovid.

A hypersonic flight bound for SFZ from New Boston went down over the Rocky Mountains with all 368 passengers. A United North American tactical recovery team is onsite investigating and a GTSBs spokesperson indicated that UNA and GTSB were in close coordination with Navi Aerospace, the Jupiter Group subsidiary that manufacturers the NX-35 Spaceplane.

The members of the synthmetal megagroup, Seven Banners Burning, have all arrived in New Boston for their upcoming seven nights of back-to-back shows at the BX HyperGarden. The controversy surrounding lead vocalist SnowFires comments about AI Liberation Front members arrested in New Boston has not hurt ticket sales.
Crane Technologies has once again refused to extradite the renowned scientist Berndaze Korbin, further straining tensions with the United North Americas prosecutors office. Crane Technologies continues to stick to its claim that Korbin is a Crane corporate class A citizen, regardless of the proof that she was acting as a foreign intelligence agent at her time of naturalization. The UNA lead prosecutor, Mark Blain, would not make a statement as to what further actions they may take against Crane Tech.
4/23/2231
An explosion during a routine test of a rocket booster on the Arotech Corp space launch platform in the Boston harbor reportedly left 12 dead and more than 40 injured. Arotech officials have not commented on how the incident may affect the upcoming launch of their first Mars colonizer. The company says they will conduct a full and thorough investigation.
4/27/2231
Jupiter Group has confirmed the reports of a contained meltdown at the Oneida NanoReactor on the shores of Lake Ontario. Jupiter Groups assurances that no human habitation -- except the on-site work forces -- is within range of the fall out has done little to placate the public outcry. Public records show that the Oneida NanoReactor was an aging Gen 3 NR and had been scheduled to be phased out of operation 7 years ago in 2224. A UNNR hazard and recovery team has been dispatched to investigate the damage and evaluate the NanoReactor for reactivation.
McKellan Heavy Industries and Badenhawk Global officials met to formally set off the first explosive charges at the site for the new South Shore Dome extension. McKellan, who will be completing the dome construction on behalf of Badenhawk Global, has indicated that work will begin in earnest next week.
5/3/2231
A new wave of security vulnerabilities in the Sigma 6 security stack have been released online today by the anonymous hacker group Ginja. Matsumoto Global Technologies officials have not been available to comment at this time. Any facility still running the five year old security network is now at high risk of exploitation.
5/6/2231
Simstream star LivLarge has completed an assisted free fall from the Arotech Aro Constellation in orbit to the Earths surface for a recording setting distance of 256 miles. The grueling multi-week descent reported tested LivLarges physical and mental preparation to the max. Arotech Media has promised that the sim recording will be released on June 2nd. LivLarge is currently admitted to New Boston Bio and in stable condition.
5/8/2231
Terrorist agents from the Free Streets Compact have claimed responsibility for the detonation of the biological bomb outside of an Arotech Corp security checkpoint. City and security officials are calling on Ward 4 residents to turn in those responsible, calling the FSC attack a hack-job by paid terrorists.
5/13/2231
Injectors of SheerTech Revolution, the new biomedical body reinforcer by Badenhawk Global, has sold out on its first day. Pharmas across New Boston are clamoring for more product. A Badenhawk official press release states that the next transatlantic shipment is not expected to arrive until June 12th and that customers should never use less than 7 injections as indicated on the packaging.
A magnitude 3.5 radioactive nano-storm has been detected moving across Canada. Unless conditions change, the storm is scheduled to arrive by Wednesday. UNA health officials urge all residents of the outer Wards to secure their residences and stay indoors for at least 2 days. Shelters inside the New Boston Dome are already at capacity. The Boston harbor will be closed and all external construction and repair projects are suspended until the storm has passed.
Remember to power up your nano-scrubber and shutter the windows on your safehouse, Knight. A storm is coming.
