Nexus Clash

Does anyone listen to the radio in-game? I remember one of the atmospheric parts of NexusWar was piecing together the fragments of radio broadcasts which, if memory serves, were from a poem Jorm wrote called The Machine.

Anyway, enclosed some random snippets if anyone wants to add to them.

A recorded interview continues: "... I told her to back away. I'm a pretty big guy, so I didn't feel like I was in any danger, but the look in her eyes? And I knew she had been drinking. I mean, plenty of us do at the end of a long shift. You ever wear a biosuit for 10 hours straight? No, I didn't think so. She just drank too much that night and cracked under the pressure, I guess.

A siren slowly fades: "THIS IS A TEST OF THE EMERGENCY BROADCAST SYSTEM. IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY, THE ATTENTION SIGNAL YOU JUST HEARD WOULD HAVE BEEN FOLLOWED BY OFFICIAL INFORMATION. THIS CONCLUDES THIS TEST OF THE EMERGENCY BROADCAST SYSTEM

A song with an off-beat rhythm and a deep, raspy-voiced male singer continues: "Joint Presidents, what ah' them smokin'? Parliament, y'all gotta be jokin'

A recorded monologue continues: "... Think about all the land we've got tied up in food production. We know we can eat Synthpaste and be totally fine. Completely healthy. I mean it. No health problems. All of you who haven't been under house arrest, what do you think you eat if you don't live with someone with an income that takes care of groceries? So we already know everyone can live off Synthpaste. So why are we growing all this food? Think about it. This housing crisis, it's manufactured. It's fake. This is fake news. If things were really that bad, we'd clear all this land and build homes. It's a scam, folks. The government is stealing our tax dollars to build a luxury community for Earthling elites

A commercial plays: Come visit the Virtual Reality Astral Projection Center in Centrum! It's totally "far out" family fun!

An acoustic instrumental song continues. It sounds fairly normal until an instrument that sounds like a whale begins being played

A recorded interview continues: "... Well, the last time I visited Earth, I went to San Fargues straight from Limbo Station. The food was amazing. Everyone seemed really nice, but looking back, I felt a kind of paranoia? I guess I know why I felt that way now

Radio didn't have much lore/function last breath, so not sure if players have listened in much!

I use it from time to time, but the snippets are too short (and random) to get me interested.

I don't think I've come across a Radio yet. Will keep an eye out.
