The Weyland Industries site’s Press page has now launched, with four press releases to read.
The first announces Weyland’s partnership with Internet Explorer, with the promise of new material on Wednesday:
Today, Weyland Industries, the Earth’s leader in communications, electronics and strategic interstellar investments, announces the first step in a move towards planetary network ubiquity through a strategic partnership with the Internet Explorer team.
The partnership will utilize Internet Explorer technology to fuel Weyland Corporation websites and applications. The first Weyland solution utilizing Internet Explorer technology will be unveiled on Wednesday. The Weyland Careers Training Center will provide prospective candidates for Project Prometheus evaluation as well as streamlining the application process for those that hope to be a member of this historical project.
Next up is the proud boast of huge pre-orders for the David 8 series:
After testing favorably in over 80% of households and workplaces, Weyland Cybernetics seems poised to make good on its “One in Every Home” promise with the upcoming David 8 Introduction Initiative this spring. In addition to 2-year trial placement in thousands of homes and businesses on Earth, David 8 has additionally wowed test audiences across the galaxy, performing off-world assistance missions on several newly terraformed planets.
Next we have an announcement of the new Prometheus fast than light ship:
The first mission of Prometheus is planned for next summer, 2073. Plans for Prometheus’ maiden voyage are already underway, and Weyland Citizen Relations personnel anticipate record numbers of civilians turning out to watch this highly-anticipated event, as Prometheus rises from the launch pad en route to the stars for the first time.
Finally, and more worryingly, Weyland are issuing a recall of the David 7 series. It sounds like they’ve had a few problems…
“It appears that a handful of Weyland Cybernetics Repair Stations, mostly on Earth and Luna, have received some reports, less than a few dozen reports, that certain David 7 units…have malfunctioned while in service,” explains Kathryn Stuart-Rose, a Weyland Cybernetics spokesperson.
It is not currently known whether the recall will extend to other models. David 7 owners are advised to carefully observe non-recall models and note any strange or unusual behavior. If any David 7 unit appears to become even mildly uncooperative, aggressive or unresponsive, they should deliver him to a certified Weyland Cybernetics repair station immediately.
