@NGH A coalition has deployed a flotilla of ships and squadron of aircraft in search of the missing DJ's. Satellite data confirms random vinyl discs and magnetic tape but no positive identification has been made at this time. The weather has posed a problem as it is just too nice to waste on looking for a couple of missing DJs.
