Jermaine Johansson: “You’re watching Entropia Breaking News. I’m your host, Jermaine Johansson.
Today’s top story: Xenobiologist Charles Marvin, renowned scientist who accidentally unleashed the Feffox on Calypso, has finally emerged after saving the colony from certain destruction by creating the Feffox toxin. CJ Weave joins us from secret location for an exclusive interview with the hero of the day. CJ?”
CJ Weave: “Thanks, Jermaine. I am here with the man who caused, and ended, the Feffox threat. Some call him a murderer, others call him a hero - Now, it’s time to hear his side of the story.”
Xenobiologist Charles Marvin: “Murderer? I’m most definitely a hero, a- a champion of Calypso, if you will. Hatching the Egg was a democratic decision and a communal effort - I was simply doing my duty as a citizen of Calypso. Creating the toxin, thus defeating the Feffox... now that... that was all me.”
CJ: “We were told that the Egg hatching would the dawn of a new era for Calypso. Instead, we got a massacre.”
Charles Marvin: “Well, I don’t think I used those exact words, but hatching the Feffox was indeed a great triumph. For science. We now know much more about the Feffox than we did before it hatched. How to exterminate them, mostly.”
CJ: “So Calypsians can at least take solace in the fact that the Feffox nightmare is hopefully over?”
Charles Marvin: “Hopefully? Read my lips: the Feffox is no longer a threat to Calypso. That’s a promise. Nothing bad, will ever happen again, Feffox-wise. Ever.
Thanks to me.”
CJ: “Thank you, professor. For the interview. Back to you at the station.”
Jermaine: “Well, folks, I don’t know about you, but to me it feels great knowing that we can put this whole thing behind us, now that the Feffox are gone, forever.
Probably.
In other news, the Imperial Zoological Scouts - uh, the real Imperial Zoological Scouts, this time - have reported sightings of strange, gigantic animal footprints near [spawn locations]. More on this story tomorrow. Stay tuned.”

Jermaine Johansson: “We interrupt tonight’s broadcast of bla bla bla to bring you a shocking report on the developments at the CDF’s top-secret Egg Hatching Facility. CJ Weave joins us live from the scene. CJ?”
CJ Weave: “Th-thanks Jermaine. I am here... in what I was told would be the site of a modern day miracle, but what is now the scene of a massacre. Bodies everywhere. CDF soldiers... Scientists... Reporters...
The Egg hatched. The creature that emerged from the egg killed everyone in its path and escaped from the Hatching Facility. Xenobiologist Charles Marvin and Dr Wilson are missing, though their bodies were not found among the casualties.”
Jermaine Johansson: “Could you describe the creature for our viewers?”
CJ Weave: “I didn’t see it myself, but I heard it described as... uh... a Feffoid-like Atrox? Atroxoid Feffoid? Some of the surviving scientists were heard referring to the creature as the “Feffox”, but I’m not sure if there is a scientific basis for that or if it was just based on its peculiar appearance.”
Jermaine Johansson: “Right. Thank you, CJ.
One would imagine that a new, exotic creature would be a welcome sight for Calypso’s many hunters, but the situation is more dire than anyone could have expected.
The Feffox are reproducing and spreading at an alarming rate. Already, four different Feffox nests have been discovered on Eudoria.
The Governor has tasked the CDF with clearing out the Feffox nests and stopping the propagation of this dangerous new species. The Omegaton corporation was contracted to drill points of entry into the nests. CDF personnel were slaughtered to such an extent that the local revival systems briefly failed. Omegaton is happy to report that the new Omegaton Groundhog drill worked perfectly. “Omegaton - We build it, you use it.”
... What? I see. Alright.
It appears that the studio has received a transmission from the... Imperial Zoological Scouts. Yes. The Imperial Zoological Scouts have a... plan to stop the spread of the Feffox, but it will require the help of Calypso’s hunters.
Hunters who wish to volunteer for this mission should contact the IZS representative in Boreas. Due to the highly dangerous work involved, the IZS are offering some very valuable rewards in exchange for assistance in acquiring the samples required for their plan for the Feffox.
Wow! If only I still had my trusty old Opalo. And all of my limbs. Oh well. Full details on the plan are coming up right away. Happy hunting, Calypsians!”
Feffox Mayhem Event Details
Description
Four Feffox Nests have been located on the Eudoria continent, at the following locations:

Event Times
Monday April 15, 16:00:00 UTC - Sunday April 28, 23:59:59.

Rules & Notes
Each participant is limited to a maximum of 40 hours in the Feffox Nest event instances. This 40 hour limit applies to combined time in any of the Feffox Nest instances, not each individual nest. Event participants must keep track of their time spent in the event instances, since the current instance system unfortunately does not track time spent across multiple login/instance sessions.
This event is intended for solo hunters of all skill and gear levels. Any attempts at abusing team mechanics or any other Entropia Universe systems or features in order to gain an unfair advantage over other participants will be grounds for disqualification from the event, forfeiture of any prizes, and possible sanctions imposed on one’s Entropia Universe account.
Do not abandon the mission! If you abandon the mission for any reason, either intentionally or accidentally, all points earned up to that point will be lost forever. Support cannot and will not restore points for abandoned missions, regardless of the situation.
Happy Hunting!

Jermaine Johansson: “You’re watching Entropia Breaking News. I’m your host, Jermaine Johansson.
Today’s top story: The Egg has been recovered and moved to a classified safe location. It is expected to hatch very soon.
CJ Weave joins us from the classified location. CJ?”
CJ Weave: “Thanks, Jermaine. I am at a heavily guarded CDF black site, where the Egg has just arrived from the scene of the battle with the RX units. I will, once again, be keeping you updated until the Egg has hatched.
I am joined by Xenobiologist Charles Marvin’s assistant, Dr Wilson, and CDF Ground Forces Commander de Souza. Dr Wilson, what can you tell us? Is the Egg alright?”
Dr Wilson: “The Egg has just been put into the new incubator that was built with the parts collected by colonists. All its vital signs are normal and it does not appear to have been tampered with. Tiny cracks are already starting to appear in the shell, and from what we can tell they were not caused by external trauma.”
CJ Weave: “So when can we expect it to hatch? What can we expect to come out of the Egg?”
Dr Wilson: “It could be days, or just hours. Any time now. Whatever comes out, the Egg hatching will be the dawn of a new era on Calypso, Dr. Marvin assures us.”
CJ Weave: “General, as the person responsible for the “rescue operation” of the Egg, this must be a thrilling moment for you. How does it feel to have played such a pivotal part in what will be “the dawn of a new era on Calypso?”
Brigadier General de Souza: “Are you serious? Just hatch the damn thing so my men can stop babysitting and get back to fighting the invasion.”
Dr Wilson: “Commander, you don’t understand-”
Brigadier General de Souza: “No, doctor, YOU don’t underst-”
Xenobiologist Charles Marvin: “I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY! General, the work done in here, by my team, outweighs all that you and your soldiers are doing out on the surface. The robots invaded to get the Egg. The RX violated the truce to get the Egg. There is only one way we can end this invasion - by hatching the Egg. And when it does, it will be absolutely marvellous.”
Brigadier General de Souza: “By that logic, we might as well destroy the Egg and be done with it.”
Charles Marvin: “Commander! Need I call the Governor again?”
Brigadier General de Souza: “Listen, you-”
CJ Weave: “Speaking of the RX, commander: some have voiced concerns that going after all RX because of the actions of a few is only going to open up a new conflict for no good reason.”
Brigadier General de Souza: “If we see a robot, do we ask it if it personally has killed Calypsians before we destroy it? No. How is destroying an RX any different from destroying a robot?”
CJ Weave: “What about those who say that these RX might not even be the same RX that have coexisted peacefully with us here on Calypso?”
Brigadier General de Souza: “That is a lie. A dangerous rumour that you should not be perpetuating. Look - The RX have murdered CDF personnel. Stolen the property of Calypsians. Plotted with the robots against us. The events of the last few weeks show just how vulnerable we are to attacks from the RX. None of us will be safe until all RX on Calypso are dealt with - and they will be dealt with.”
CJ Weave: “Very well. Thank you, commander.”
Jermain Johansson: “...
Hrm. Alright, thrilling stuff. We’re going to take a short break for some messages from our sponsor, the Chikara corporation - but be sure to stay tuned for the conclusion of this mystery several years in the making. You don’t want to miss this “dawn of a new era”.”
