"Faction Roulette" Not a Good Bet
MAY 25th, 3050 -- "Faction Roulette," and the dishonorable practice of flying in the face of Loyalty by being Mercinaries with the game's substandard method of petitioning 'Merc contracts leading to an unrealistic gaming experience where even the money based loyalty of mercenaries cannot be trusted.
The loyalties of the Gatekeepers is, however, unfaltering. Not content with the slapdash system that pays no attention to loyalty, or continuity of the BattleTech universe. The Gatekeepers are unwilling to play the game of Roulette, picking a new faction each week based on little more than a whim thanks to the non-existent system of bidding for mercenary contracts, that our ComStar carrier, Pig has (failed to) implement.
Instead of following this trend, that reduces CW and the battle for the Sphere to little more than a pedantic mess. [HLGK], true to it's namesake, will always be steadfastly the Vanguard of House Liao.

Disaster Strikes at Ricky Raygun Performance
FRIDAY, MAY 22ND, 3050 -- The crowd on Vientiane was whipped into a frenzy Friday night, after an impassioned verse of "The Chancellor Wears No Clothes" that did not appear on their Maskirovka-approved setlist, featured lyrics in which Ricky brought himself under suspicion of being a sympathizer to the much reviled Candace Liao, biological sister to Her Celestial Wisdom, Romano Liao
As Ricky Raygun was carted off stage by Maskirovka Agents to an undisclosed location, this reporter was able to get backstage for a one-on-four exclusive with the Bombshells.
"We had no idea Ricky was gonna sing that," Said Roxy Raygun between sobs, "We just kept dancing."
Members of the Chancellor's Hand declined to comment further on Ricky's song, or his ultimate fate. A Bombshell by the name [REDACTED] was taken away also under suspicion of being a supposed St. Ives terrorist.

Deployment of Cataphract-OXP Exceeding Performance Expectations
MAY, 3050 -- Following a rigorous testing phase the Gatekeepers still deem the new Cataphract-OXP an overwhelming success, in ability to protect it’s team, it’s ability to roll out more damage than it takes, and its ability to do all of this while providing sustained Electronic Warfare coverage.
Unit specialists have spent the recent days tirelessly taking this 'Mech to task, but cannot find a weak link in this behemoth's armor. The workhouse of the Capellan army, made deadlier by the engineers at Hellespont Industrials. Good work, men. I'm sure this is a welcome addition to many Inner Sphere 'Mechbays.

Gatekeepers Recovering After Stay at Clinic -- Failing One
MAY, 3050 -- After a prolonged, and somewhat terrible therapy period to mitigate the ill effects of Post Tukayyid Stress Disorder, the Gatekeepers have returned to Active Duty in the Capellan fringe. The citizens living on the outskirts of the Confederation can rest a little easier knowing the Liao Cháng-Chéng is back in effect.
On a related, and unfortunate note, one Gatekeeper named [REDACTED] who we reported had been lobotomized as of last week in an effort to return him to the battlefield, was killed in the line of duty when a rage overtook him, causing him to fly into a delirium-filled rage. The onset of which led him to fire on his own lance before firing on civilian buildings, leveling them with laser fire, until his reactor went critical.
