F.R.E.D. Weekly

Time moves by for everyone and the same goes for every Freddy and their nation. Read our newsletter to catch up on what has been going on in our country.

Grahamov captured

The Republic can once again rest easy as the irradiated man has finally been captured. For over 40 years now F.R.E.D. has had to deal with the pressure of not knowing when the irradiated man would strike again. That was until last week when secret service agents managed to capture the terrorist and his accomplices.

The irradiated man, born Joseph Grahamov, is a dangerous individual responsible for many hostage situations. However, his most notable crime was the bombing of the Ivansky monorail in 1981, leading to 19 casualties and 156 irradiated victims. Grahamov was once the head technician at Frednobil powerplant, after being left to deal with a malfunction all on his own, his features were horribly irradiated prompting him to need bandages at all times.

Grahamov was convinced that the communist system that has given us so much is responsible for his shortcoming at Frednobil powerplant. Grahamov, who according to a former teacher was already a great speaker as a little Freddy, had this to say when being questioned about his motives: “I don’t enjoy killing, but when done righteously, it’s just a chore like any other.”

Grahamov led a band of 22 terrorists, all of whom will be put on trial in the coming weeks. The group was holed up in the burnt-out remains of reactor 13 at Frednobil powerplant, leading many of them to become disfigured in ways of their own. Now that this enemy of the state is finally captured and ready to be given a fair trial our nation can once again breathe easily.

Support for Fredian Space Waste Ejection bill (FSWE) grows amidst Fredian populace

Following our recent article on our nation’s plan to launch our nuclear waste into space, the government has finally taken the first steps into the legislation of the Fredian Space Waste Ejection bill. But what does this bill mean for our country?

Ivansky is the centre of a major evolution in both space travel and waste disposal. The Fredian government has legislated a bill that doesn’t just limit the disposal of waste into space to nuclear waste, but also non-biodegradable materials, such as plastics.

Still, despite the breakthrough in waste disposal, there are still people who hold their doubts over this development.

Most people are worried about the waste getting stuck in low orbit, circling around our planet for decades until it all comes crashing back down like some low-budget disaster movie. If you yourself have these worries, you needn’t worry!

With the latest advancements in nuclear jet propulsion technology, our cargo rockets will shoot straight through our planet’s gravity field, and send our waste flying through cosmos, away from our planet. Out of sight, out of mind.

So far, however, other nations have not yet been made aware of our great nation’s development, and with good reason. We are F.R.E.D. , we are only as good as we allow ourselves to be. Other nations will only slow us down. While they spend their lives wasting away in waste and polluting our oceans with their ignorance, we Fredians will start our jump into a cleaner future.

In memoriam: Jenny Anrov

The name Jenny Anrov might seem like any ordinary name to plenty of people. But if you are a loyal Freddie, you will know who she was. She was a great asset in the newest invention that U-Space brought to market. She invented a new booster for the rockets. She was also a mother of seven, and her first child inspired her to make the invention. She passed away three years ago and to commemorate her genius, U-Space is hosting a gathering at the Church in Ivansky.

Jenny was first happily married to a man named Alfred. However, her fairy tale ended before her happy ending. Her husband passed away during his work at the farm, due to a malfunction of a tractor. Jenny herself was working as a secretary at U-Space when she got the news. She was pregnant with her first child when Alfred left this planet. When her firstborn came to this earth, she named him after his father.

Jenny and young Alfred found love and warmth with a new man, named Cliv. Cliv took in Jenny and adopted Alfred as his own son. Jenny and Cliv were in love and they got married when Alfred turned one. But as the law prescribed, it was time for Jenny and Cliv to start a family of six children. They had three sons and three daughters, called in order of birth: Zera, Cain, Liav, Cia, Giavo, and Sven.

Cliv and Jenny were happily married, but Cliv could tell Jenny was still mourning the loss of her first husband. Especially being around Alfred hurt her. Alfred was mostly raised by Cliv. Seeing as Jenny was still so upset, Cliv suggested many things to help her. Nothing worked until one day, Jenny was invited to join a tour of the labs of U-Space. At first, she didn’t want to go, but after persuasion of Cliv, she went. After the tour, she seemed much better and that made Cliv better.

It wasn’t until after months of sneaking out of the house, that Cliv discovered why Jenny was feeling much better. She was secretly working on a project to fix the malfunction that killed her late husband. Cliv and Jenny got into a fight, Cliv being upset at Jenny for keeping all of that a secret, Jenny for feeling forced to tell her secret. The pair split up for a couple of days, but got back together to talk it out.

As it turns out, Alfred had written a lot of letters to U-Space to ask if they could tell him how to fix the malfunction that killed his dad. Jenny saw the letters the day she went to do the tour, because she had to be at U-Space at a different time than usual. The letters moved Jenny to tears, inspiring her to find a solution for Alfred senior and Alfred junior. She snuck into the lab to analyze what went wrong and started working on a way to fix the problem.

Cliv encouraged her to go to the engineers of U-Space to tell them of her research, but she refused. Cliv went to tell them himself, and after a lot of questions, he showed them what Jenny had been working on. The engineers agreed that Jenny had been doing a great job and allowed Jenny to keep working on it. When she finished her blueprints, she asked the engineers to try them out. It only took two tries before the prototype worked at 100% capacity. Jenny was then asked to become part of the team to find solutions and invent better things for U-Space. Her most famous invention is the booster still used in our glorious rockets.

Alfred, who will be attending the celebration hosted for his mother, had this to say: “My mother had always been very mournful about the death of my father. I’m glad she found something to keep her busy. I think, in a way, she did the research to remember him by.” When asked about his personal relationship with his mother, he said this: “I remember mother being distant during my childhood. But, I think I must have been 13, when she sat me down and told me that she named her new booster after me. Ever since then, mother has loved me fondly.” The booster still carries the name AL-1-Fred.
