''MGM Press Release''

Good afternoon citizens of Cocoon station and Luna,

We would like to address an incident that occurred on the evening of February 5th 2492. We are disheartened to announce that Pulse Supper Bar was the subject of a raid organized by The Mox, and members of The Raptors.

Unfortunately many of our security staff are being utilized elsewhere, which allowed the mob to disregard standard safety protocol for MGM properties. Despite multiple, detailed threats of violence the decision was made not to engage trespassers. It is our belief that property is replaceable and repairable. Risking injury or loss of life is not a reasonable response to a tantrum. One which, as voiced by the attackers, was the result of MGM turning its focus from mixing drinks and throwing parties temporarily, to instead focus our attention on how we can help the citizens who have supported us during better days.

We are still in the progress of surveying what property has been damaged, destroyed or stolen...including supplies intended to aid in the ongoing Jericho crisis and fallout. However we are pleased to announce that there were no injuries reported by employees. Employees that were working at the location at the time of the assault have been given paid time off and access to complementary therapy should they desire it.

We are left questioning not only why these groups decided that damaging property was the appropriate method to demonstrate the perceived problems with our company's actions. More importantly we question /why/ these groups would prefer that MGM focus solely on providing them entertainment, when our societies are facing potentially catastrophic events.

In light of these issues, MGM is offering payments for verifiable information that connects The Mox, and The Raptors with the corporations, doctrines and actions associated with Section One.

While some may find it tempting to slander and attack Martians in retaliation, MGM believes that the actions of The Mox and those led by them, do not reflect the beliefs or desires of Martian citizens, and we have no desire to see the red planet suffer due to the selfish, shameful acts of one small group. Any attempts of retaliation against persons not directly involved in the incident will be condemned.
