References

• The "most fantastic film ever taken" was recieved in TV Century 21's offices in the morning of 17 April. It was taken by the W.A.S.P. vessel Stingray and shows the destruction of the Crustavon Star City deep in the Atlantic.
• The film was automatically relayed to Marineville by a new underwater process called Subsonic Aquascan.
• Officials at Space City are puzzled by the loss of radio contact with the passenger space liner WSW 193. A spokesperson for World Space Ways, owners of WSW 193, told reporters the ship is "the safest thing that flies" and that there is "absolutely no cause" for alarm.
