TV (News)

### About it

In Katana Zero, when the player finishes the level, he goes back to Zero's apartment, where there is a TV next to the couch that has the option to be turned on (it will be on in every subsequent visit after you turn it on for the first time).

When the TV is on, a text box with statics appears and then its possible to hear some news about the mission we did and other stuff that is happening in new mecca. When the news end, they enter in a loop, repeating forever. The light that it emits alters from various colors in a random way.

The TV itself is like a TV/CVR combo ( A tube TV with a VHS player). If we assume that the TV is the same as the one in the menu, it is produced by ASKII, but that doesn't matter too much because probably its just a reference to askiisoft.

### The News

As i said, when turned on, we can hear some news.

#### Factory Hideout

'' ...At least twelve have been reported dead or injured at an abandoned factory in the 3rd District. Among the dead is Dawoud Bey, a Government scientist first reported missing 3 weeks ago. Police have released few details about the killings but have stated that it appears to be gang-related. ''

#### Mutual-Nil Prison

In this mission, Zero watches a tape of V torturing his neighbors instead of hearing the news, so theres none.

#### Studio 51

#### Mansion Hideout

Zero is really drunk, so when he come to his apartment, we can only hear ''...terrorism that occured on highway 1... ...34 dead... '' and then he sleep.

#### Chinatown

In this mission, zero watches a samurai movie with the little girl and then watches the Dragon Tape, so theres no news.

#### Slaughterhouse

Again, no news, Zero and the little girl go to see the amazing view that she has found and then go to sleep.

#### Bunker 2

I probably didn't even need to put this here, but i will. no news again, when Zero goes back home, his apartment is destroyed, so its impossible to hear the news.

#### END

And that's all! In the end the TV is destroyed. Some of the news are irrelevant, but some have some interesting things that we can use to complement theories and have more knowlodge of New Mecca life and point of view of things.
