After the SANN’s opening jingle the camera focuses in on the ever-present face of the network: Harold MacMillan. The newscaster nods to the camera, slides his dataslate away, and begins speaking.
{{LoreArticle
 
|Title =  The Seeing Eye
“Good evening, and welcome back to The State of Sol. As always I’m your host, Harold MacMillan. Today’s feature story is an impending announcement by the Secretary of State, Carmen Mercado Ortiz, following her recent confirmation by the Senate after weeks of hearings related to Strom’s cabinet formation. With the press conference about to begin, let’s go to our reporter on-scene: Cèline Eylenbosch.”
|Type =  Mini-Event(s)
 
|Author/Admin =  Fyni
The camera switches from MacMillan to a blonde-haired Cytherean woman — now dressed in spring fashion — standing in a fairly crowded conference room.
|Date = 01/02/2468 - 07/02/2468
 
|Summary = An unknown passenger explores the Horizon.
“Hello Harold, and hello dear viewers,” Eylenbosch smiles at the camera.
|Article =  A woman calling herself the "Seeing Eye" explores the Horizon, gathering intel and spreading phoron coins. Eventually, they are connected to a wanted issue and flee the ship via escape pod. The pod is picked up by a mysterious warp capable ship which flees the system before the Horizon can stop it.

“Cèline, what does it look like in there? How’s the atmosphere?”
{{LoreArticle
 
|Title =  Agent Saboteur
“Oh it’s practically electric, dear viewers. Rumors have been spreading for most of today about what these new initiatives are — Secretary Ortiz has only ‘officially’ been in her position for a week. So what could she possibly have dreamt up in that time, hrm? Dare I say, could it be a rapprochement?”
|Type =  Mini-Event(s)
 
|Author/Admin =  Fyni
“With what?”
|Date =  14/02/2468 - 08/03/2468
 
|Summary = A saboteur works in the dark, pursuing an unknown agenda.
“Well, the most rumored-about one is, of course, Tau Ceti, Harold. Not even the most speculative Binyarian tabloid would guess Gadpathur!” Eylenbosch laughs at her own joke! “But Biesel? The Spur wonders, don’t they?”
|Article =  An agent, living in a crevice in the wall in maintenance, begins a propaganda and sabotage campaign against the Horizon. Revealed to be an agent for the [[Outer Eyes]], they attempt to discourage the Horizon's mission towards the Lemurian Sea.

“Right. How long until it starts?”
{{LoreArticle
 
|Title =  Seven Sinta
Eylenbosch looks down at her watch, bringing it up far enough for the viewers to get a look — and Idris-produced Model 89 Ophelia, by the looks of it. Holographic too, and apparently in the colors of Venus’ flag. After a moment of viewing it — long enough for anyone watching to get a good look at the Ophelia — she looks back to the camera and smiles at it, letting her watch-hand drop back down.
|Type =  Event
 
|Author/Admin =  Fyni
“In a few minutes, Harold, so let’s switch this to the stage view,” Eylenbosch gestured to the camera, causing the viewer’s eye to swap to a different camera overlooking the stage. As per most Solarian Alliance press conferences the podium is covered in microphones from various agencies and nations — some from as far away as Assunzione or Novi Jadran. After a few moments a Solarian Army guard touches his earpiece and leans over to open a door behind the podium, letting a middle-aged woman in a typical Solarian business suit out. She says something to him briefly, then takes the podium, taking some glasses out of her pocket and putting them on. On her lapel, right below the Solarian flag pin, is a Mictlani flag pin.
|Date =  21/02/2468
 
|Summary = The Horizon follows up a distress signal from the SCCV Abyss.
“Thank you for your presence,” she begins, leaning a bit towards the microphones. “I am pleased to, on behalf of the Solarian people, discuss our upcoming diplomatic agenda for Prime Minister Strom’s term.
|Article =  The Horizon is informed of it's coming mission into the Lemurian Sea. One of the other ships aiding the mission, the SCCV Abyss has issued a distress signal. Upon arriving at it's location, the Abyss is nowhere to be seen, and her crew are acting strangely. The crew are revealed to be pirates, left behind by the captain responsible for the destruction of the Abyss, the Vengeful Eye aboard the Ashen Prince. They are attempting to deceive the Horizon into aiding their suicidal attack against a Hephaestus outpost guarded by Kataphracts, but are found out. The Horizon eventually aids the Hephaestus outpost and uncovers the fate of the Abyss.

“As our Alliance is emerging from a period of struggle unseen since the Interstellar War, I wish to assure the Spur writ large that our nation wishes, above all, to seek a peaceful future in the wider interstellar community, while respecting the interests of Solarians everywhere. With that said, the main purpose of this conference is to announce that we are seeking to reopen diplomatic relations with nations Frost’s dictatorship severed relationships with.”
{{LoreArticle
 
|Title =  Interview with a Pirate
A murmur goes through the crowd of reporters as camera lenses flicker.
|Type =  Mini-Event
 
|Author/Admin =  Fyni
“First among these is the nearby system of Tau Ceti, also known as the Republic of Biesel,” Ortiz pauses for a moment, letting her words sink in. “There are, as the interstellar community is aware, numerous diplomatic conflicts which may ‘bubble over’ between the Alliance and Tau Ceti. It is in the interest of both our government and Tau Ceti’s to ensure war does not break out, and that a diplomatic solution may be reached.”
|Date =  26/02/2468
 
|Summary = The Horizon questions the pirates captured in it's previous mission.
More murmuring and camera lenses flickering fills the air as Ortiz stops talking for a moment.
|Article =  A questioning of the captured pirates is underway, and several useful snippet of intel are uncovered. Mentions of the Lighthouse and Starlight Lounge leave only more questions as the Outer Eyes saboteur pulls off a daring brig assassination of the captured pirate to silence them.

“I now leave the floor open to questions.”

“Secretary Ortiz, Liao Qi with XNS. Does the Alliance have any interest in changing its relationship with the Coalition, particularly around Konyang?”
|Date =  08/03/2468
 
|Summary = A terrorist attack on the Horizon kills two, and injured almost a dozen more.
“At the time our government believes our relationship with the Coalition, where we maintain diplomatic missions with nearly every member-state aside from Gadpathur, is not in need of further modification. We trust our partners sitting in Xanu feel the same.”
|Article =  The saboteur, through a long time Horizon crew member who they have managed to recruit, draws a dozen crew members to holodeck beta, where a hidden bomb detonates, instantly killing two and severely injuring the rest. Espousing their manifesto, demanding the Horizon cease it's mission, the traitor crew member is eventually captured.

Another sea of hands shoots up. Ortiz picks out a well-dressed, if pale, woman in foreign clothes.

“Senator Ortiz, Anastazija Leno with the Novi Rijeka Gazette. Over the past years we’ve seen further cooperation between the Empire of Dominia and the Alliance. Can you speak to any plans to further strengthen this relationship?”
|Date =  14/04/2468
 
|Summary = A cultural delegation from Assunzione has come to prepare the Horizon.
“Cooperation between the Empire and Alliance has mostly been under the purview of the Department of Defense, so it’s outside of my responsibility. I can, however, say that the Solarian people appreciate the cooperation with your navy to reduce piracy near the Southern Reaches.”
|Article =  A small team come aboard to educate the Horizon about Assunzione, bless the ship for time in the Sea and officially grant permission for it to enter the Sea too.

“Thank you, Lady Secretary.”
{{LoreArticle
 
|Title =  Calm before the Storm
The sea of hands goes up yet again. Ortiz picks out a distinctive blonde-haired woman in the first row.
|Type =  Event
 
|Author/Admin =  Fyni
“Hello, dear Secretary. Cèline Eylenbosch, SANN. How long have these negotiations been ongoing for, with Tau Ceti?”
|Date =  19/04/2468
 
|Summary = The crew are forced on some shore time before their mission begins.
“Roughly two weeks, with them having started under the acting secretary. There haven’t been any official diplomatic meetings, yet, but I can say Prime Minister Strom has approved this initiative — he wants to see the Alliance’s border security issues handled within his term, and so do I.”
|Article =  The crew enjoy the sights, sounds and tastes of Port Volturno, though spies watch their every move.
 
}}
“Thank you.”
 
The sea of hands goes up again. Ortiz picks out a man further in the back who is dressed sharply.
 
“Secretary, I’m Baqir Yassin, ENN. With the Alliance posed to reopen relations with Biesel, are there any plans to change its relations with the Republic of Elyra?”
 
“Not at this time, no. So long as Elyra tightly restricts its fuel exports, we cannot see a deeper relationship with it,” Ortiz looks down at her podium, then back up. “And I must apologize, that’s all the time we have for questions. Thank you for coming, and long live the Solarian Alliance.”
 
Ortiz waves to the crowd, then turns and walks back through the door to the shouted questions of unlucky reporters and the snapping of cameras. The view switches back to Eylenbosch, who looks positively thrilled.
 
“Well, dear viewers, isn’t this exciting news?! Back over to you, Harold!” Eylenbosch waves to the camera, which then switches to a view of MacMillan.
 
“It is,” MacMillan straightens his posture, looking at the camera/viewer. “The State of Sol will be right back after this short break, so stay tuned!”
