Action 104 – Breakfast Update!
Thursday, 4 December 2059
Upbeat music, vaguely jazzy, but not in the noodling meandering jazz club style, fades away as the comfortably appointed studio comes into focus. Sat on a comfortable looking easy chair, a casually dressed Japanese man of about 40 sips his coffee. Across from him sits, his innocuously Caucasian, perpetually 20-something, strawberry blonde co-hostess. Crossing her legs demurely, she smiles at the camera syaing: “Well, Takashi, I hope you're getting ready for the BayPlex Urban Christmas Carnival”
“I sure am, Kathy-Lee. You know, I really love that the annual Urban Carnival Christmas themed party provides a platform to support youth civic engagement in public issues and spread understanding about the issues our city faces.”
“Hmmm, that is so interesting, she replies convincingly. “We're ready to go to our live interface link to speak with one of the carnival organizers. Do we have the uplink?
The picture splits moving a narrow view of the studio cafe off to the left side of the trid screen while a well dressed orc woman appears on the right.

We'll have interactive stations that explore urban issues like transportation, city budgets and the public realm. Best of all, its free entry for everyone!
“Ah,” Takashi nods. “We are all familiar with the trouble in the outlying areas. Are you concerned about security in ... those neighborhoods?”
Clearly offended, the woman replies sternly, “By troubles, I meant a dysfunctional government, and aggressive neighbors who have invaded our nation, both covertly and overtly. But if you want to talk security, maybe we could discuss the recent revelations regarding the CalFree contract with Knight Errant and the lack of security presence in metahuman neighborhoods...
