Dear subscribers! Once again, the latest issue of the post-apocalyptic CRONUS Weekly is on your screens. Can anyone hear us?

The incident changed the world beneath the Dome. It has become darker, more dangerous, and more cruel to all its inhabitants. Anomalies, MOBIOSes, wild animals, mutants, robots and even your former colleagues are all eager to take your life as soon as possible.

But don't despair. Even in this crazy world there is room for humanism. The strong leaders founded entire settlements on the ruins of the CRONUS empire.





The Junktown grew up on the ruins of one of CRONUS' industrial buildings. This is where all those who could not enter the City have found shelter. Most of the houses are dusty tents and boxes assembled from abandoned construction materials, and literally the entire ground is crawling with rat holes. Even the old-timers don't know every possible way out of the city. But the disadvantages of the Junktown are easily overshadowed by their safety. There is even a sheriff here. Anyone who breaks the law will quickly go to jail after being kicked hard enough by the locals.

If you find yourself here, be sure to check out Beth's Shots bar. There you'll find decent booze and a bed for a night. And if your pockets are full of extra Combonds, you can even buy one of the local houses.





The largest settlement under the Dome. The center of power of the New Committee. The main source of civilization in the northern part of the desert. It is here that you will remember the golden days of the CRONUS and meet the smartest people under the Dome.

Kimiko Nakamura is in charge here. Thanks to her excellent leadership skills, she was able to evacuate the Concord station in the shortest possible time, deploy personnel to Magellan, and get the Committee up and running. For which she received the chairmanship. The city is perfectly protected. And anyone who breaks the law will lose their citizenship or go to jail.

To get into the City, you have to go through a small formal citizenship procedure and fill out a couple of dozen documents. But remember, any rumors about excessive bureaucracy and bribes in the City are fabrications of ill-wishers unworthy of the title of citizen.





A town founded by Blue Wing engineers on one of the conserved settlements. Democracy,
rationalism, diplomacy and high technology rule here. The settlement is surrounded by a makeshift wall, has its own water system, power grid and greenhouse with vegetables.

Contrary to the popular belief, not only former CRONUS engineers and scientists live here. For example, the guards consist of a small group of former military personnel from the Black Wing, and simple jobs are performed by former prisoners. If the principles of the New Committee are strange to you, visit Carmine Heights. It might be just the place you're looking for.

Dear subscribers! Once again, the latest issue of the post-apocalyptic CRONUS Weekly is on your screens. Can anyone hear us?

It's been a long time since our connection to the outside world was severed. You probably already know that to survive in the wastelands you’ll need good weapons. But where to get them? Make with your own hands, of course! In this issue we have prepared a selection of the most unusual weapons that will help you to deal with almost any threat.




It's hard to imagine the person who came up with this weapon. Many have found it to be unusually effective. Lethal discs do a lot of damage to any opponent, and the powerful ricochet shot mode leaves no chance for survival. But be careful, there's a great chance of hitting your companions!

After the collapse of the CRONUS empire there is a huge amount of unwanted spare parts left, you will have no problem with ammunition. A handful of metal, a couple of working batteries and any former Blue Wing worker will be happy to assemble your personal disk thrower.




The next item is called the Viper. Believe me, it lives up to its name after every use. One light press and your enemies suffocate in a cloud of poisonous gas.

Poison gas is another resource you won't be short of under the Dome. The Tree of Forefathers, poisonous anomalies and who knows what else, they all spread deadly gas that can be used for the Viper. Don't forget to wear a gas mask, though!




If you can’t make a firearm yourself, then feel free to take anything that fits your hands into the wasteland. Clubs, sledgehammers, bats — all of them can save your life, or at least increase your chances of survival. One good swing and your enemies fly in different directions.

Dear subscribers! Once again, the latest issue of the CRONUS Weekly is on your screens. Can anyone hear us?

This is our first issue since the mysterious incident. Communication with the outside world has been severed, but we are sure that we will be able to restore it very soon! And now it's time to face it: the world beneath the Dome has changed, and we'll tell you about the dangers the wastelands have in store for you!




CRONUS Corporation has found an outstanding artifact. During another excavation at the Nashville Research Station, an artifact of impressive size was found. On the outside, it resembles a huge ball of energy. It is hard to imagine what opportunities it will open up to mankind. Perhaps it will help unlock the secrets of the forefathers and answer the most difficult science questions or maybe even become a source of inexhaustible energy. However, many scientists note the serious impact of the artifact on climate change. Our editorial staff will follow the progress of the research and keep you informed.




The forefathers' relics are the only things that were not damaged after the terrible catastrophe. Many artifacts can give you incredible powers, while others can simply kill you. We managed to get a picture of the mysterious tree. Its body contains artifacts with the most amazing properties. But no matter how tempting the fruit may seem, we advise you to avoid the tree! After all, its every hole emits a poisonous gas that will kill you in seconds.




No matter what disasters happen in the world, people are still the main threat. The Dome is no exception. Many different factions have formed here. On your screens is one of the Fops. If you see someone similar to him — run. Don't even try to negotiate with these madmen. They have no goal, they have no demands, all they want is chaos.

Dear subscribers! Once again the latest issue of the CRONUS Newsletter is on your screens. A storm warning has been issued for the Dome this week. All employees are required to exercise extreme caution and avoid venturing into the wastelands. We don't yet know what the increased natural activity is related to.




CRONUS Corporation has found an outstanding artifact. During another excavation at the Nashville Research Station, an artifact of impressive size was found. On the outside, it resembles a huge ball of energy. It is hard to imagine what opportunities it will open up to mankind. Perhaps it will help unlock the secrets of the forefathers and answer the most difficult science questions or maybe even become a source of inexhaustible energy. However, many scientists note the serious impact of the artifact on climate change. Our editorial staff will follow the progress of the research and keep you informed.




The CRONUS Corporation is declaring a state of emergency due to increased anomalous activity. All employees are required to cancel expeditions and other planned outings until the situation improves. Do not count on high-tech equipment or protective suits. Even these can be destroyed in seconds by anomalies. Stay indoors.




Since the first days under the Dome, White Wing scientists have been observing one of the most mysterious anomalies — the Maelstrom. Until recently, it behaved quietly and stayed in one place, near the middle of the Dome. But after the discovery of a new artifact, the Maelstrom went berserk. It's too early to tell if these events are related. But one thing we know for sure, it's definitely not worth going near it.

Dear employees! Once again on your screens is the latest issue of the "CRONUS Newsletter". The company management is concerned about the series of accidents that occurred at the Concord station. Deceased recruits will forever remain in our hearts. The station administration has prepared a detailed report on what happened and will tell how to avoid similar situations in the future.

Attention! Under no circumstances try to repeat the described situations, it’s really dangerous.




Descent is the first thing that awaits a recruit under the Dome. Landing pods are designed by humanity's best engineers and use the power of the most advanced technology. But even the most rugged mechanisms are not immune to the negative effects of anomalies and the weather of the Dome. If during your descent you notice a malfunction or hear a strange sound, report it immediately to the experts.

Don’t try to repair the capsule yourself, and it’s certainly not advised to kick the door.




No one could have imagined such an incident. One of the recruits was cremated alive in a coffin. The news horrified all employees of the corporation. It was all due to laziness and idleness.

Unfortunately, some employees avoid work by hiding from guards. Many have been caught near vending machines or in toilets, gambling their savings. But who would have guessed that one of the employees would try to hide from prying eyes in a real coffin? By no means repeat that unfortunate man's mistake. And don't ever slack on your job. Remember, together we are building a bright future, and everyone have an important role to play.




When you arrive at the station, you'll see a lot of special equipment you couldn't imagine in the outside world. Each unit is accounted for and under the strict control of leading engineers. To operate a vehicle, you need to undergo special training. And to leave the station, you need a special permit. Never try to go AWOL or leave the station without permission. Automated security turrets will go off instantly and shoot both you and the corporation's equipment. You’ll die for sure and your relatives will be fined for property damage.

Dear subscribers and employees, the latest issue of the CRONUS Newsletter is back on your screens! Today, we're going to talk about fashionable new products, road conditions, and the level of safety in the currently built bunkers under the Dome.




The CRONUS Corporation pays great attention to the needs of its employees not only in working conditions but also in the simple pleasures of life. It was at the request of the workers that fashionable hats with crocodile leather trim were brought under the Dome.

Now every employee can feel like a movie hero or a famous treasure hunter. However, remember, employees, while conquering new horizons, it is important not only to look spectacular but also to follow all safety protocols. The administration of CRONUS strongly discourages research teams from splitting up, rashly taking unknown artifacts, and using a whip in battles with the mutants of the wasteland.




This is exactly the way of life that CRONUS employees have adopted. It made it possible to build hundreds of buildings in just a few years of Dome research. The corporation did not stop there and paved high-quality, high-capacity asphalt roads between the sites. Now every employee can easily get to almost any point under the Dome and begin their important work for the benefit of humanity.




Readers often ask us about security measures under the Dome, which is not surprising, since you can’t return from under the Dome. It's important for potential heroes of humanity to know that their lives are not in danger.

The entrance to each station is equipped with bunker steel doors, anti-personnel turrets and a special detoxification chamber. You can ee sure that not only mutants, but even bacteria will not get into your new home.

Dear subscribers and residents of the Dome, the latest issue of the CRONUS Newsletter is back on your screens! In this issue, we will tell you about the amazing explorations and adventures that await you under the Dome.




We’re introducing a brand new interface of the global map of the Dome! Now it's easier than ever to navigate in the wastelands. Even a newbie, going on a solo adventure for the first time, will be able to find a simple and safe route to any point.

Travelers have already tried out the new map and enjoyed exploring the new lands beneath the Dome. Now it's your turn!

*CRONUS administration reminds you not to visit the poorly explored regions of the Dome without permission.




Since the early days of the Dome exploration, CRONUS Corporation has sought to provide convenient and safe travel throughout the wasteland. Currently the main infrastructure facilities are connected by convenient asphalt routes. And in remote areas there are gravel roads, suitable for trucks.

According to the Corporation's infrastructure development plan, very soon all areas will be covered with high-tech roads that’ll make travel perfectly safe and pleasant!




What could be more enjoyable than a cup of good coffee on a long road trip? Especially for travelers, drivers and explorers, a whole network of gas stations has been built under the Dome, where they can not only gas up, but also relax in good company, have lunch and buy great hot drinks. The staff of the stations is always friendly and ready to tell many amazing stories about the Dome. Enjoy traveling in the most amazing place on earth!

Greetings, dear subscribers. The latest issue of the CRONUS Weekly is on your screens. Today we will tell you about new inventions and devices that have recently entered the arsenal of the corporation's employees. We have combined the main achievements of science and technology to solve the most complex and ambitious tasks facing the corporation's employees.




The standard flamethrower proved to be a powerful and reliable weapon, capable of repelling any danger. It had only one drawback: its sheer size and weight. Not every employee of the corporation could hold it in his hands. Fortunately the latest development of corporate engineers solved this problem. Meet the Firebug flamethrower. Just as powerful, but much smaller.

This little guy fits easily into any backpack and even an office worker can handle it. Its firepower is also amazing, you can incinerate multiple enemies in a matter of seconds. Don't forget the safety precautions, though!




Another new product from CRONUS engineers is the harpoon. This compact device will help you to shorten the distance between you and your opponent in seconds. If you prefer melee weapons for self-defense, a harpoon can help you turn the tides of the battle and shorten the distance with your opponent as much as possible.




Another long-awaited update to your arsenal are cryo grenades that can turn your opponent into a block of ice for cocktails in mere seconds. This incredible invention is made possible by the combination of technology found under the Dome and the genius of Wesley Corporation engineers!

Grenades deal cold damage and affect an entire squad of enemies at once. This type of weapon is extremely useful in the battle against the defense systems of the Forefathers.

Greetings, dear subscribers. On the screens of your terminals is the first issue of the new year's CRONUS Weekly. We would like to congratulate you with the start of the fourth stage in exploration of the Dome and share our plans for the coming year.

Today we're talking about a new must-see movie, updated interfaces, and the latest inventions of Blue Wing engineers. We have an amazing year ahead of us!




Dear employees and residents of the Dome! We have told you several times about the rich cultural life under the Dome and today we are pleased to announce the premiere of the exciting New Year's Eve post-apocalyptic sci-fi comedy "Goodbye 2020”!

The story of the not-so-distant future combines humor with a gripping post-apocalyptic thriller and elements of science fiction. Will the heroes be able to save the holiday in the pandemic conditions, confusion and the approaching end of the world? We will find out soon enough in all cinemas!

*All names and events are fiction, any coincidences are coincidental




The holidays are behind us, which means that very soon CRONUS employees will return to the work they love. We have completed the fourth stage of infrastructure development. Now it's time to unlock all the secrets of the Forefathers. New jetpacks, vehicles, electric loaders, updated models of servoshells and weapons will help us in this!

If you haven't yet had a chance to try out all the new features for yourself, hurry back to the testing grounds and seek out the upgraded equipment. The possibilities of technology will blow your mind!

*Some technologies have not passed the final stage of testing. Using them, employees agree with all the risks.




Have you noticed how much the interfaces of CRONUS personal and work terminals have changed? Our best engineers have gone to great lengths to make working on the Corporation's computers faster and more convenient. We relied on employee feedback to improve every detail, make the map more convenient, the buttons clearer, and the lists more readable.

Office work has never been so comfortable and attractive before!
