BREAKING NEWS - Successful attack on potential CrashCart Clinic

This is Trish Donaldson for WKSN News.

A series of attacks occurred in the southern portion of Auburn, near White River last night over a series of hours, ending with a collision with a heavy vehicle and a series of massive explosions that claimed the lives of 14 people, all of whom have yet to be identified.

Lone Star has stated that they are investigating the attack, and that their inability to respond was due to a failure in the 911 Emergency Response© system that was beyond their control. Lone Star's “Shadowriders” investigation team is heading up the search for those responsible, which opens the possibility that officials believe that it was performed by Shadowrunners.

Complaints of all varieties have been given about the lack of emergency services to the area all night long, and 911 Emergency Response© representatives have stated that their servers were hit with a DoS attack of a type they have never experienced before, and are suspecting that it was performed by a Technomancer. Deaths due to the lack of ambulance and police services has been estimated to be in the dozens, not including the deaths of those at the potential CrashCart site.

CrashCart Public Relations Officer, Igor Sandovich, has stated that they were still in negotiation with the current owners of the property, and had not taken control of the site for anything except for an emergency staging area for a series of ambulances, all of which were on duty during the attack. “As well, while 911 services in the area were offline, our emergency alert services were completely on-line and responding with the speed and quality of service that people expect from CrashCart. We can confirm a 100% success rate for emergency response, with eight clients whose lives were saved during the night in question.” he was quoted before closing off the press meeting.

A variety of terrorist and policlub groups have stepped forward to take claim for the attack, however, all have provided incorrect information and Lone Star is dismissing these claims as misinformation.

No one from the property holding company was willing to accept our calls, save for their law firm that has placed a gag order on the usage of their name in public record.

MNN NEWSBRIEF - MEDICARRO BLOOD DRIVE

MediCarro will be in Seattle this week doing blood drives for metahumanitarian reasons. The Aztlan-based subsidiary of Aztechnology hopes to collect 35,000 BPU’s or blood plasma units from Seattle citizens to aid in emergency procedures. Donors will be given a simple HMVV test, using the Harz-Greenbaum blood series test.

Critics say that blood often does not go to emergency medical procedures, but rather to feed young vampires within the Aztlan state, unable yet to hunt for themselves.

CrashCart representative Kenneth Reckner from Yamatetsu Corporation was quoted as saying, “We get all our plasma from labs, it’s biochemically manufactured cheaply in mass quantities, all our CrashCart teams have Medical Personnel with training in synthesized plasma.”

Sometimes called “Sticktrucks” or “Mobile Suckhead Feeders”, MediCarro vans can be seen throughout the sprawl, usually doing collections among squatters and the downtrodden, lured by a few hundred Nuyen and the promise of a meal token or shelter stay.

MediCarro representatives were unavailable for further information.
