29 Voomb 435—Nits Circle, Blooply Valley, Belenda. Officials of the newly organized Belendan Programmers Union (BPU) announced that yesterday, Beezös Snirl, average second class graduate of the Blooply Valley Belenda Academy of Sufficient Education with a third class certificate in Inventory Control, and, now, an 3.3 degree inventory programming specialist at Steel Foundry Z.38.92, used his innate systems abilities to access ’xrsc system code and effectively isolate Belenda from ’xrsc central control.

Further, BPU announced they were assuming control of Belenda since only they had the key to the Nits on Parade Spaceport entry gate lockout control program.

There are reports coming out of other areas on Belenda that resistance to BPU is mainly centering around Nits on Parade Spaceport where members of the Star Base Workers Party (SBWP) say that their shop steward, Loora Kird, is encouraging common workers to rise up against those educated fools in BPU.

Requests for interviews from ’xrsc central control on went unanswered.

A SOHO official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that Argottean officials are analyzing the situation on Belenda, but without input from the ’xrsc there is very little that can be accomplished. It was reported that attempts to contact the latest group of vacationers visiting Belenda’s beach resorts have been returned without answer. Officials at Argotte Tourist Board referred all questions to ’xrsc central control.
