Cheri has returned safely; however, one will find her floating in a large tank of clear, pure water, gently splashing water on visitors with her golden tail.

A crack newsdroid has been waterproofed and dispatched to Aise to discover further details... **>> INTERESTING QUOTE OF THE WEEK... This is a fragment of a conversation that our spy satellite picked up earlier this week; we aren't quite sure whom the person being discussed is but we are just certain that there is a very interesting story behind it. Wildstar: Great...another topless female **>> REBUTTAL In last week's news, we reported that Ishmael had been voted a "cutie". We have been subjected all week to outraged telephone calls from Ishmael, who insists forcefully that he is not cute at all. 'I am *NOT* a "cutie",' he insists. 'I don't care if you want to think of me as one or not, but I am not a "cutie". The title of "cutie" may be re-instituted as soon as my wife returns, but until then, I ask that you refrain from referring to me as "cutie" in the news.' Ok then, Ishmael, you are definitely not a cutie at all. **>> SPYNET REPORT Nightfall and Kama both made a surprise comback this week, winning the Tungsten Tourist Trap Trophy twice each.
