Foundry news? Looking to add some to mission

Just about finished 'Hunt for a Viper' (Viper 2) and have some room for an optional dialogue. Player can ask a Boff if they have any news. Was hoping this could be a good place to tie into other foundry universes. So if your little corner of the foundry has some cool kind of news item that can, i guess, advertise it a bit, i might be able to work it in. I could even work in the author names, or just add a note with mission info.

    I'd place a list of missions and authors referenced at the end of the mission in the final dialog box.

    As for the news itself ... if any of these are useful or 'cool' you have my consent to 'go mad.'

    -Mirror Wars 2 -

    NEWS: Maybe something to do with the destruction of the Federation colony on Kinjun III.

    - Rise/Death of/at Mol'Rihan -

    News: Maybe something to do with the Iconian War on New Romulus.

    -Ask'kaar-

    You have my consent to do whatever you want here, and if you o ... whatever it may be ... may I use it for a plot / side plot / reference in a mission I do next with the Ask'kaar ?

    I have a mission that will be coming out soon that plays out during the feature episode "Midnight" (the tentative title is Two Minutes Till Midnight). There's a part that involves T'Ket tries to sneak an infestation of Bluegill down to Earth's surface immediately after the ending of the Iconian War. This might be something that could be mentioned in a rumor.

    Referencing "Trouble In Paradise":

    The Risians have begun efforts to restore the island that was attacked by Iconians during the last Lohlunat Festival. In the process, they found a hidden passageway beneath the island that abruptly ends at a forcefield at the bottom of an underwater ravine. Its purpose is, as yet, unknown.

    Referencing the second, as yet just in planning, second episode of SSF season 2.

    In sector news, the Ibi Assembly is seeking contracts for the development of the colony: Esha. The Ibi hope that with outside technical assistance they'll be able to establish a significant inter-species hub, prioritizing trade and cultural exchanges. Among those that have expressed interest are the Ferengi Merchant's Guild, Starfleet, and Morn Inc. However Baln of the Orion Industrial Association is concerned with the plans, claiming that they are biased against Orions currently invested in Esha.

    When asked by FNN, High Administrator Vella Ji'Goro responded to Baln's statements with "to hell with those [jerks]."


    Referencing Trident

    Starbase Magellan is set to host the first official exchange between the newly discovered Trident System and the Alliance after Representative Pim apologized to Ambassador Throthenvin for an earlier interspecies misunderstanding. Ambassador Throthenvin replied that the leg was doing much better and she hopes to have it re-attached within the next few days.


    Referencing joke on Twitter and "possible" plot for AEI intro mission, mostly a joke for this thread

    Following his return to the Federation, the Okeg Administration has announced that the young have been removed from the President's peritoneal cavity. The newly appointed ambassador from the Rugtha'mochit will return with the offpsring to their native people as soon as they have finished molting.

    An open poll is being conducted by the FNN to name President Okeg's first, second, and third born children. Current favorites are: James, Trip Jr., Solvik, and Bitey McBiteface.

    It's not too far from the Maxia Zeta System. So, Ferenginar Sector. Hope that helps!
