'''Jisu Calerondo''' is a news broadcast announcer for [[Neomuna]] Civil News.

==Biography==
Jisu Calerondo is a news announcer for Neomuna Civil News. He is heard by accessing the console beside [[Osiris]] and can be heard throughout the campaign, and can be heard throughout [[Neomuna]] at random intervals.

==Personality and Traits==
A bold and fearless reporter and news broadcaster, Jisu Calerondo does what he can to provide the latest news and information to the people of Neomuna, even as war rages over their city. Though loyal to his home city, Jisu does what he can to appear impartial when delivering the news, not trying to appear prejudiced when speaking about the Guardians. However, as a reporter, Jisu does attempt to spin things in his preferred way when conducting an interview, most notably with Osiris. Jisu attempted to twist Osiris's words to paint the Guardians in a different, less flattering light, but as Osiris has experience with such interviews, the former Lightbearer sidesteps any potential controversy and answers Jisu's questions as honestly and professionally as he can. As a result, Osiris ends the interview looking respectful and honest, and it's implied that Jisu was annoyed that he lost his chance to paint the Guardians differently. His boldness is exemplified when Jisu interviews Empress Caiatl herself and later hacks into the Young Wolf's comms to gain an interview.

*''"With Neomuna Civil News, I'm Jisu Calerondo. Thrilladrome operators announced today that due to the ongoing violence, this year's Pixel-Fest will be an online-exclusive event. This is Jisu Calerondo, signing off."''

*''"With Neomuna Civil News, this is Jisu Calerondo reporting. Authorities detained two juvenile suspects on hacking charges after their digital signatures appeared inside the city utility exchange. Prosecutors insist any trespass against infrastructure at this time must be taken with utmost seriousness. Defense arbiters argue their client’s activities are harmless youthful pranks, spurred by years of stressful isolation."''
*''"With Neomuna Civil News, this is Jisu Calerondo reporting. The astronomy department at Esi University has petitioned for the city to expand its scientific presence on Triton. Astronomy chair [[Farooqi]] believes its radio telescope array — now used as a listening post — can be restored with minimal investment. This is Jisu Calerondo, signing off."''
*''"Sustained winds of 45 to 60 kilometers per hour are expected to skirt the city’s edge for the next several days. Perfect conditions for all you wingboarders out there — if we weren’t in lockdown."''
*''"With Neomuna Civil News, I'm Jisu Calerondo. Accounts across the city indicate the conflict between the Earth Warlords and the invading Cabal Empire has advanced to our fair city. The Vex have taken advantage of the chaos to encroach on the western front, transforming our plazas into an active warzone. All citizens are promoted to active defense duties, effective immediately. Repeat: all citizens are promoted to active defense duties. Stay tuned to Neomuna Civil News for updates."''
*''"Welcome to Neomuna Civil News. I'm Jisu Calerondo. An unusual crisis today as utility workers came under fire from Shadow Legion forces while freeing a family of poukas from a storm drain. Maintenance chief d'Sydney reports the destruction of two maintenance drones, but adds that the poukas are safe and healthy."''
*''"Welcome to Neomuna Civil News. I'm Jisu Calerondo. Scientists have recently confirmed the rumored existence of living Exo units on Earth. Long believed extinct, Exos were the creation of Clovis Bray, the result of extended and inhumane experiments on Human subjects. This is Jisu Calerondo, signing off."''
*''"With Neomuna Civil News, I'm Jisu Calerondo. Earth representatives today objected to the identifier “Warlords”, preferring the label “Guardians”. They claim that while they command similar powers, Guardians operate within a system of checks and balances overseen by the Vanguard. Critics remain sceptical, citing the Vanguard’s apparent lax control over their membership and lack of accountability."''
*''"An unpartnered Ghost arrived in Neomuna earlier today. Ghosts are the sapient beings that partner with Earth Lightbearers in a symbiotic relationship to grant unusual abilities and lifespan. City Council is unsure how to legally classify what may be the first of many Ghosts seeking to visit our community. Stay tuned to Neomuna Civil News for updates."''
*''"The Cabal are an expansionist alien empire who recently descended into civil war following the destruction of their homeworld, Torobatl. A "Traditionalist" faction under Empress Caiatl have formed an alliance with Earth’s military government. The Shadow Legion invading our city consider themselves a "Loyalist" faction, and follow the Empress’s deposed father, Calus."''
*''"Shadow Legion forces have once again captured an agricultural tower, threatening citywide famine. Military leaders say these infrastructure attacks are to be expected, now that Guardians have severed supply lines."''
*''"The City Council today rejected the citizen petition to expand the military in response to sustained Shadow Legion aggression. The council cites the danger of increased military authority, as well as the risk of losing crucial reconstruction expertise. They did, however, approve a petition to expand the scope of civilian defense force efforts."''
*''"I'm Jisu Calerondo, reporting for Neomuna Civil News. Cloud Strider Nimbus reports that recent CloudArk fluctuations are the result of new security measures to guard against intrusions. The Cloud Strider credits the Earth's Guardians for contributing personnel toward the dangerous operation. Despite this, more citizens have experienced nightmares. One name common to all? "Nezarec.""''
*''"With Neomuna Civil News, this is Jisu Calerondo reporting. It is with a heavy heart I must report the passing of our senior Cloud Strider, Rohan, who perished while defending our city from Shadow Legion forces. Rohan is succeeded by the protégé, Nimbus. The council has scheduled a vigil soon to pay homage to this great hero. Good night, Neomuna, and good luck."''
*''"Reports are reaching the Neomuna Civil News offices that Emperor Calus, leader of the Shadow Legion, is dead. A joint taskforce led by Cloudstrider Nimbus and an Earth Guardian operative lead an assault against the Calian forces earlier today. Defence duties are still in effect, but it seems that the citizens of Neomuna can breathe a little easier, thanks to our unexpected Guardian. This is Jisu Calerondo, signing off."''
*''"Jisu Calerondo: With Neomuna Civil News, I'm Jisu Calerondo. Academics continue to study the punctured form of the Traveler, which remains in Earth orbit. With the extensive damage inflicted in its battle with the Pyramid fleet, scientists and Guardians are unsure if it has survived. A poor understanding of the Traveler’s structure and purpose have only complicated the process."''
*''"With Neomuna Civil News, this is Jisu Calerondo reporting. Scientists continue to study the alien structure the Witness created from the remains of the Traveler. The link established between the Veil and the Traveler’s so called “pale heart” created a portal through which the Pyramid fleet leader escaped. Professor [[Alagi Ahmed]] commented, “It appears to be an Einstein-Rosen Bridge, but with paracausality, little can be said for certain”. Stay tuned to Neomuna Civil News for updates."''
*''"With Neomuna Civil News, this is Jisu Calerondo reporting. Formal homicide charges have been filed in the case of [[Bhur Zhimri]]. Listeners may recall Zhimri was suspected in his wife’s death following cryo-tank malfunctions earlier this week. Prosecutors are describing it as Neomuna’s first case of cryogenic murder."''
*''"With Neomuna Civil News, this is Jisu Calerondo reporting. Scientists with the Civil Defense Ministry report that the mysterious signal causing CloudArk disruptions appears to be a psychic carrier wave. The most common use of this technology, of course, is the suspended energy matrix which maintains our own CloudArk. This is Jisu Calerondo, signing off."''
*''"With Neomuna Civil News, this is Jisu Calerondo reporting. With Calus defeated, authorities now turn to new priorities. Foremost: CloudArk disruptions and Nightmares associated with the name “Nezarec”. City Council urges citizens to remain calm as they investigate. Stay tuned to Neomuna Civil News for updates."''
*''"Authorities have questioned the connection between the entity Nezarec and the Psion people, a client species of the Cabal Empire. Ethnographers note recurring motifs in Psion art and ritual, as well as the psychic potent abilities exhibited by both parties."''
*''"Vanguard forces recently engaged an independent provocateur identified as "Nezarec" within a derelict Black Fleet vessel. Described as "the Final God of Pain" in pre-Collapse sources, he possessed potent psionic abilities. Authorities believe these abilities allowed him to access and disrupt CloudArk operations here in Neomuna."''

===Interviews===
*'''Jisu Calerondo''': With Neomuna Civil News, this is Jisu Calerondo, coming to you today with Cloud Strider Nimbus for updates on the recent conflict. Nimbus, thank you for joining us in light of the heavy burden that has recently fallen on your shoulders.

*'''Nimbus''': I mean, whole city's hurting right now, Jisu. Rohan was my hero, same as everyone else. But the best thing we can all do is make sure his sacrifice means something. Keep this city safe. 

*'''Jisu Calerondo''': And what of the Guardians? Have they helped maintain our peace and safety, or are they adding new complications?

*'''Nimbus''': We all knew the return of the Pyramid fleet was going to be complicated, and I'm glad we've had the Guardians here every step of the way. There's one thing Rohan taught me, it's that no one survives alone. We need each other. 

*'''Jisu Calerondo''': Impassioned words from one of our city's great champions. Let us hope time proves them wise as well. This is Jisu Calerondo, signing off.
<br>

*'''Jisu Calerondo''': This is Jisu Calerondo, coming to you once again with a special guest as part of our continuing war coverage: the Cabal empress, Caiatl. Your Majesty, thank you for joining us today. 

*'''Caiatl''': We thank you, Mr. Calerondo.

*'''Jisu Calerondo''': Most of our listeners know little of your people's history beyond your colonization efforts on Mars, and the recent Red War with Earth. Tell me, what is your goal here in the Sol system?

*'''Caiatl''': We came to your system as conquerors, Mr. Calerondo. While that was not under my rule, it is a banner I would have gladly waved. 

*'''Jisu Calerondo''': And yet, you extended the offer of truce with Earth.

*'''Caiatl''': The Cabal say, "There is no road through war." Your direction must change with circumstance.

*'''Jisu Calerondo''': Ah, you're referring to the recent destruction of your homeworld?

*'''Caiatl''': Torobatl was consumed by the Hive... and the Witness. And so now, my people fight for survival, in addition to glory. 

*'''Jisu Calerondo''': My sympathies. All of Neomuna knows what it is to lose a homeworld.

*'''Caiatl''': I do not place much value in your "synpathies", Mr. Calerondo. They were of little value to Earth.
<br>

*'''Jisu Calerondo''': With Neomuna Civil News, this is Jisu Calerondo coming to you live. We're reaching out to a Vanguard operative within our fair city. Mr. Ghost, can you hear me?

*'''Ghost''': Hello? Who is this? 

*'''Jisu Calerondo''': I'm Jisu Calerondo. Can you tell us more about your relationship with your Guardian? What role do you play in defense operations?

*'''Ghost''': You're that news reporter! How did you access this channel?

*'''Jisu Calerondo''': Do you consider yourself a representative of the Vanguard, or the Traveler itself?

*'''Ghost''': I don't. Please talk to Osiris. [disconnects] [sighs] I suppose if we're going to keep saving the world over and over, we'll need to get used to talking to the press. Eventually.
<br>

*'''Jisu Calerondo''': I'm here today with a special guest as part of our ongoing Earth interest series. Osiris, counsel to Earth's Vanguard. Mr. Osiris, how long does the Vanguard intend to maintain its presence in our city?

*'''Osiris''': Long enough to counter the Dark Fleet's threat to our worlds. But we have no interest in maintaining a presence if your leaders object. We are allies, not conquerors.

*'''Jisu Calerondo''': And how do you respond to critics wary of that claim?

*'''Osiris''': While I know the Vanguard harbors no dreams of empire, I find your people's prudence both reasonable and justified. 

*'''Jisu Calerondo''': Does the Vanguard intend to withdraw troops in the near future?

*'''Osiris''': A tricky request, Mr. Calerondo. We will leave if asked, certainly, but the Shadow Legion remains a dangerous opponent... An opponent that I fear could overwhelm either of our divided fronts. For now, we are happy to follow the leadership of your Cloud Strider while we operate within your city and assist wherever we can. 

*'''Jisu Calerondo''': Let us hope your motives remains so open-minded and generous.
