Uplink Hints
"News server"? What's this doing here?
1 of 3: Not a regular news server, that's for sure. The news is all computer-based. Should a hacker complete a "big" hack, you'll see news of it here.
2 of 3: It is also the trigger to several completions -- If you've recently done something another mission asks you to do when the news is still in, you can simply reply and get your money.
3 of 3: Also, the plot of the game will begin here. Read the first messages -- and the new ones every now and then.
