>"Resident creatures are becoming very dangerous. Many have gained the ability to project caustic energies. I support a curfew and evacuations if it will serve as protection from this."
"Dozens of creature attacks have been reported since the last Turn. There are three which stick out involving persons who fought back and neutralized threats in 'spectacular display'; a rodent who was wanted for trespassing, and two unusuals nearby the home of a Yakona person who claims e saw the wanted Melissa before a quake leveled the place."
>"Do you have an update on the whereabouts of Kari / Melissa ?"
Sterling speaks. "She's connected to some thefts at the square. A hardware shopkeep tried to fight her off and got a good look; of the items taken is a camping bed, burner, trenching shovel, rope stakes, and optics, but she dropped a water filter escaping. The other theft, an artists office, is in similar style but is not clear what items were taken. Strangely, there's been no reports since."
>"There is a ring called Sectalis that is responsible for some recent crimes; their signature is white goggles. They have attempted to murder the rodent you mention. Any idea what they're planning ?"
"I've been following the white goggles around some arms dealing; if we can take this right to the heart and hit hard or at least get answers, we should. I know they're connected to some dozen decapitations and are virtually invisible to regular patrol. As much as they are a menace, their motives are unclear."
Anne grows nervous at your mention of the rodent. She covers her mouth with her hand briefly before returning to attention.
>"Is there a death toll ? Citizen, ally, or enemy ?"
Anne speaks. "Of the confirmed dead, 7 soldiers from Edison, 15 today at the square and 16 civilians, with about 3 soldiers and 80 civilians missing. The missing numbers are still coming in, mostly from the coast and woods' shantytowns."
You reach out and tug on Anne's ear.
>"Are there any strange occurrences I might not be aware of ?"
"What are you doing-
There's rumor of a riot being planned within the Mariner prison. It would also seem a good portion of the Mariner military has packed up and left. Closer to home, there's been reports of ghouls and corpses showing up in the woods, the rangers cant make sense of it. Will you please let go-"
>"Try to keep it down so nobody hears-"
"Where would you like to take the investigation ?"
