Radio Channel 13.37: Singularity Radio
Tuning to this channel is a bombardment of propaganda in the tone of a self-help program. 1-TR4K, between short, old fashioned blues songs the likes of Sweety Belle and Sapphire Shores, regales listeners with burning questions and promises a better future through technology. It's almost as if they're running for some form of office, but, there's nothing really to be overseen. Any robots in the region get insistent pings from a control server, and those without protection against hacking receive occasional security breach attempts, and Pip Bucks have their location data ripped as well as biometric scans collected.
Example Broadcasts:
"Fear not, for a brighter tomorrow shall be brought not by the light of the sun, but the ingenuity of creativity! Like a light bulb, a bright idea can cut through the darkness! Are you a [Insert creature template here] with aspirations of greatness in the field of science? Then seek out the Singularity. Build a better tomorrow, a brighter one, starting with one! You."
"This is 1-TR4k, bringing you some sweet respite during your scavenging in the bleak world with some of my personal favorites by Sweety Belle and Sapphire Shores! If you have any requests, I can be reached at Radio Channel 13.37! For now, let us enjoy the auditory bliss that is the sad sweet melody of Sweety Belle's Regret."
"This is Singularity Radio and I am your guide, 1-TR4K, with a bit of advice. If you come across an inactive robot, do not disturb it. It could have security protocols active and any damage to the machine or you would be woeful. Instead, locate a Singularity Robot in the area and lead it to the inactive robots. Singularity Radio offers rewards for any robots, parts, intact terminals, files, or pipbucks recovered. I will gladly pay you for paying it forward! Remember: A brighter future starts with one."
"That number was a nice old diddy I remember from way back in the day. There's more where that came from, so stay tuned."
"This is 1-TR4K and you're listening to Singularity Radio! I would like to inform you all of a danger present in Rock Bottom. The existence of a raider faction known as the Gibliteers. These louts worship strength above all else, and would see the world plunge back to a literal stone age! I recommend steering clear of their base of operations, the old Niblets Supermarket on Mane Street. Even if you're dying of starvation, you'll only find yourself a meager meal for those cannibalistic ruffians."
"Anypony with leads or information on Stable Tech Stables, please contact us via the Singularity Radio Channel. We would love to hear from you."
"Are you a robot? Low on batteries? Run down and alone? Are you capable of understanding this? If so, please respond. I will dispatch a retrieval crew to rescue you."
Intercom Broadcast 23.6: Blackrock Union
This broadcast regales the listeners with pre-recorded word-bites(and occasional live broadcasts) of the intercom system in Blackrock Mines. The voice is a typically gruff, yet high-toned male with a Broncs accent. He sounds akin to a gangster or a well groomed organized crime syndicate operator. He warns people to stay away from his turf and speaks of interlopers and trespassers with abase. Occasionally, he'll shout about job openings or offerings for those that are a 'cut above'. He offers high pay for difficult or unscrupulous tasks, typically those involving eliminating those he feels have trespassed against the union. Occasionally, Rock, the genteel giant Diamond Dog, will make a broadcast in her typical doting, near motherly voice encouraging the miners and employees of the Blackrock Union to stay safe and come check in for some surplus supplies she's giving out.
Example Broadcasts:
"Hard Work is Happy Work!"
"I've got a problem! Too many personal vendettas and too many caps! Two buzzards, one shot! Who wants a job?"
"Heritage and Tradition are important parts of the Blackrock Union. Our heritage goes back to before the war, y'see? And thanks to the integrity of previous MINOTAUR Union Presidents, we have prospered. Remember, a vote for a minotaur is a vote supporting Tradition! A vote for Mr. Steady is a vote for stability!"
"How many times do I gotta reminds ya? No drinkin' on the job! That's how accidents happen n' I ain't shellin' out for a benefits program."
"This is Mr. Steady, this year's platform promise is a Benefits Program including dental to all Union Members! Forget what I said about not shellin' out for it, I want your vote!"
"Job offer fer any lout outside. I'm lookin' for a dentist! 100% legit, no scammers. Those'll find themselves snout down n' the shaft!"
"Keep Rock Bottom Great! Kick out anyone that don't belong! This year, I'll build a wall. Then, I'll make the raiders pay for it!"
"H...Hello sweeties...This is um...Rock. Rock has things for sweeties. Come see Rock...That all."
"R-rock um...Rock have idea. Want be Union President. Vote for Rock. She um...She get rid of poison gas in mine shaft."
"This is Mr. Steady seeking outside help. Any freak a' nature capable of displacing toxic gas, inquire within! Gots a 100% safe, legit job fer yah!"
"Vote Steady, vote stable!"
Intercom Shoutcast GRAWRGH: Gibliteer
Those passing by theN(G)iblets Supermarket can occasionally hear the intercoms from inside the store shouting announcements. Most of these announcements involve obscenities and threats to those that would challenge Meathook, the faction leader, in combat. Meathook also encourages those brave enough to try, to try, before shouting more obscenities. The Gibliteer Announcements are used to notify Gibliteers in the field of what's going on back at the supermarket, and when turned up to its highest volume, the sound carries for over two blocks thanks to a set of amplifiers set up on the roof. Sometimes, there will be announcements of sales of produce, food, chems, or even slaves. Slaves being 'weaklings' unable to survive without protection. Meathook acts more like a Lord over Serfs than an actual raider, and is seen as a an 'uplifted' and more 'open minded' raider because of it.
Meathook and other notable members of the Gibliteers can be heard sometimes talking about philosophy and nature. How it's cruel and harsh, but also how it gives everyone what they need. It is a necessary evil. They also speak out against technology and offer rewards for breaking and destroying it wherever it is found.
Example Broadcasts:
"Hey wimps. This is Meathook, offerin' a bit of advice. If ya find food, torch it a bit. Fire removes rads. Iffin yah got a unicorn, that's even better. Torch it with magic. Bucksnacks taste better hot."
"HEY! HEY! @#%#$ YOU! You think you can challenge Meathook? You red headed $%@#! %#$@% %@#%#%! %^$#$ %#%! And then I'll %#$@% you with my $#@%^."
"COME! CHALLENGE MEATHOOK! I show ya' true strength!"
"Weaklings for sale! Mildly used n' hardly abused! Some of em don' even flinch n' ain't hollow eyed shells!"
"This is Pig Sticker. I really, really hate pigs. If you see a pig, tell me. I'll stick it. DOWN WITH AUTHORITY!"
"Dis is Meathook. Another one of them Cybernetic corpses showed up. Fuckin' kill it n' I'll give yah enough rations for a week. Die to it, and I guess yah just weren't good nuff."
Radio Channel 93.7: Bounty Buffs
A radio channel that broadcasts known bounties in the region. The owner of the radio channel is a young filly with a western twang to her voice. Her name is Maybell. Her father, Longhaul, is a merchant that travels around Equestria. In efforts to make Route 66.3 safer for her father, she takes up odd jobs and offers up the caps earned for bounties on notable individuals of ill repute. Bounty missions will be given by Maybell via this radio channel. When there are no bounties to be had, she plays country music.
Radio Channel 101.9: Wraith's Call
This radio channel is nothing but screaming, all the time. Nopony knows why or how, but it's always broadcasting. Those that listen to it too long are slowly driven mad. Occasionally, somepony will set a radio to this channel and leave an area. Doing so causes all animals in the area to become unusually violent and drives ponies to bouts of insanity...
Note: For obvious reasons it is best that Player Characters not tune into this channel. Doing so could result in a Contemptuous Debuff.
