Luckily, the brightly-colored valise was noticed by a Mechbot security officer and the building was evacuated before any casualties occured. Anti-terrorist bomb squad experts were stuck in heavy traffic and did not arrive in time to prevent the device from exploding, damaging 2 of the 5 laboratories in the facility. The GMI is a local center of alien biogenetic research and experimentation on the planet. ��� Communications Blackout Plagues Press by Grig Frod, Ace Reporter Earth, Sol - An emergency edict by the Imperial Bureau Of The Navkd pdos dkklsal isd oi keroidifks ew eksdj sdaksd8we je93k sk cv09k idasd09kdkdlk90k glk459t gf y6kf fdjf9 49d isk dsj 9daf jk49fdf fkj0dasf sdafj09fd difdf7rhn4 sai-1-3kjfd ksdokjvd 3y8e dfhdas8uods933k ffoia9uidkjoe fdio94 jf9d489kl3893 jfd idffdfdfijjjjidif----------------------------- ------ - ------- -------- - --- ---- --- - - -- ---- - -- --- ------ -- -- - ---- -- - ------ - - - ---- ------- --- --- ----- - -- - ------ - ------- -- ------ - --- ---- --- - - -- ---- - -- --- ------ -- -- ----- -- - ------ - - - ---- ------- --- --- ----- - -- - -------- - --- ---- --- - - -- ---- - -- --- ------ -- -- ----- -- - ------ - - - ---- ------- --- --- ----- - -- - ------ - ------- -------- - --- ---- --- - - -- ---- - -- --- ------ -- -- ----- -- - ------ - - - ---- ------- --- --- ----- - -- - ------ - ------- -------- - --- ---- --- - - -- ---- - -- --- ------ -- -- ----- -- - ------ - - - ---- ------- --- --- ----- - -- - ------ - ------- -------- - --- ---- --- - - -- ---- - -- --- ------ -- -- ----- -- - ------ - - - ---- ------- --- --- ----- - -- - __________________________________________________________________________ � T H E E C O N O M I C R E P O R T ��� The Economic Page lists all 50 planets of The Core.
