Towne ComStar Chief Announces New INN Feature 12/09/3132
INN - Interstellar News Network
Citizens of Towne:
I’m Lev Bouzerau, new general manager and chief sacrist of the Towne ComStar
relay station. After the initial confusion of the loss of the HPG system across the
Republic, and especially with the loss of former chief sacrist Giovanni Benetti, some
of us felt like we lost our voices. I’m happy to report that we’ve rapidly reconfigured
our organization in furtherance of our sacred duties.
We’ve adapted to the current situation while continuing to meet our goal of keeping
technology alive, and keeping Humanity informed, even if it’s only our small pocket of
Humanity.
Today, I’m here to present the next step in our efforts to keep information moving
freely. In conjunction with several civil organizations and governmental agencies
around the globe, we’ve established a public user input system on the grid.
One of our great concerns after the blackout was the risk of Towne’s isolation from
the Republic and the rest of its citizens and residents. I don’t think it’s too dramatic to
say that loss of information leads to a loss of understanding, cooperation, and
eventually civilization. Further, as conflict increases across the Republic and even here
on Towne, we run the risk of finding ourselves at odds with each other.
With the lack of traffic from the HPG net, we have literally hundreds of tons of
information storage equipment lying dormant. Since we can’t use it to move
information to you, we’ve decided to open it up to move information between you.
Effective immediately, anyone with access to the Towne ComStar network can create
a user log to record his or her thoughts, feeling, experiences, and observations. You
can make logs personal or topical, and you can have as many logs as you want. Your
logs can also freely interface with news reports to provide public commentary and
additional reporting on issues.
In some ways, this is a feel-good maneuver. We want people to be able to share their
hopes and fears and help foster a closer, stronger planetary culture. In this time of
instability, it helps everyone to be able to find like minds and share our experiences.
There is also a practical benefit to the creation of these logs. Rumors of military
operations trickle in to our news center from around the globe, and some of those
rumors have proven true. The fastest way we have to stay informed about these
incursions is for each of us to be our own reporters.
Of course, no one is required to participate, but we think this opportunity will shore
up solidarity and perhaps even seal up some rifts that have begun to grow in our
communities. Please let us know what you think of this new initiative. Now, your
voice is louder than ever.
