-The good news is that the portal was somehow, miraculously, keyed to drop you right back on Centerpoint!-
-The bad news is that it's highly unstable. Somehow, despite the fact all of you entered at seperate times, you end up teleporting into existence inside your living room at roughly the same point, and at the same time-
-So all of you fall into a giant pile of limbs on top of the coffee table-
-...Except for all the injured folk, who are neatly placed aside and spaced out evenly. They've suffered enough-

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."-As you all get up, you notice that the house looks messy. Well, much messier than usual, anyways. You can note a lot of debris, knocked over trash cans, and a few holes in the ground...along with a TAG waving hello at the front door, saying "Welcome back, friends! :D"-
-Oh, and there's something on the TV. Fancy that. Perhaps it's worth watching?-
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Suzu: Is some ones skin now inside them?
-She crawls over to the table, picks up the hospital bills and waves one of thems logo infront of minerva-
-She then looks at the TV-
-The dragon snorts-
-And carries every one off to be treated-
-Yes, the Terminus hospital treats robots too-

Zack: ...Lady, does it look like we're doing that kind of thi-
Momonga: Yes. The answer is always yes with her >.<
...Also, what happened here, and what is going on that television?
Ling: Do not know, it'll answer itself, and let us hope not~
-She floats on out of the pile while everyone crawls out at their own pace-
-While the TAG known as Maggie keeps waving hello-
We Are Our Avatars Forever (Now on Discord by invitation, PM)-As those of you who weren't crippled go to watch TV, you are struck a blow far worse than anything that could be physically done to you-
-...And unfortunately for the injured, the hospital has TVs too-
-None of you are safe-
...when he was asked what prompted him to commit such heinous crimes, the Sensei only replied, "It sells toys." He is currently awaiting trial. The Terminus PD have refused to comment further on the nature of his violations.
In political news, those without a home no longer need to worry, as the "Keep Our Station Clean" bill has been overturned. This comes only scant days after Councilor Jack Azz was spaced in the wake of a manic turbococaine bender, wherein he destroyed the statue outside the Ribeyrolles Orphanage with a Pulverizer shot-hammer and pissed on fellow Councilor Pembe Batts after an extended domestic dispute. Reports state that at 8:00 local time, he was found passed out in an alley, confused for a homeless individual, and spaced in accordance with the Keep Our Station Clean bill while it still applied.
One of the individuals spaced under this act, Izsák Magro, was recently able to return to the station, and for those of you who have just arrived he has been hailed as a civic hero by most of the populace. Having managed to secure a fire extinguisher before being sent into the void, Izsák was able to utilize it to return to Terminus, where he re-boarded the station and was able to recover from his trip into space at a local homeless center while it began closing operations.
After recovering from his trip, Izsák proceeded to seek out the replacement Councilor, Cheep Azz, who had begun making preparations to massively accelerate the timetable of the Keep Our Station Clean bill in order to ensure there would be no homeless individuals aboard the station. While Cheep Azz was holding a press conference regarding the bill, Izsák interrupted the conference and challenged him to a game of Roshambo, citing a portion of an ancient bill that dates back to when settlers first arrived in the Andromeda Galaxy nine months ago. The bill states that any individual, provided they win against a governmental official in a game of Roshambo - where the objective is to kick your opponent in the groin while withstanding their kicks to your groin and balancing a fidget spinner on your fingertip, until one person taps out - can make one change to any given law.
The match yesterday was massively televised, and pay-per-view revenue is currently expected to make Terminus tax-neutral for the two hours afterwards; however, we will only receive the results in a week. In a stunning four-hour bout of testicular trauma, Cheep finally bowed out after he could no longer stand, leaving Izsák the winner of the game of Roshambo.
In what initially appeared to be an incredibly self-centered and greedy move, the homeless man proceeded to edit the Keep Our Station Clean bill so that once every day the station would begin paying him five million credits for emotional damages he felt he had suffered watching his loved ones get thrown into space. However, immediately afterwards the Council called an emergency session. Word has just leaked of what went on in that session, and we are happy to reveal Izsák's true master plan.
Cheep, nursing the fact that the Roshambo match had made him impotent, proposed a counter-edit to the bill, which nixed Izsák's rider and instead called for him to be spaced in his "birthday suit". However, in his morphine-and-rage-induced fugue, he accidentally entered a comma in the middle of a word; when the bill was ratified, automated spellcheckers immediately caught the error. As per Council law regarding spelling errors, the bill was promptly overturned on the spot, Izsák having effectively caused the Council to kill it of their own volition. A true stroke of genius.
We have reached out to Izsák for comment on this story, but we have yet to receive a response, as not only is Izsák still homeless, but he also does not have any real means of contact.
And that ends the News Terminal Spotlight. From all of us on the Spotlight team, we hope you have had an excellent month, and that if you are just returning from business, that your work has been fulfilling, morally righteous, and has contributed towards your goals in a meaningful way. This is Adrian, signing off.

-Momonga looks at Maggie, then at Cuddles, then at Azzie, then at the news-
Momonga: There's a haiku in all this, somewhere.
I'll let you know when I find it. >.<

Mercuria: @Lovisia About that, you might want to check your medical bills.
Because I see you came back with a few...unwell individuals.
