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.

BREAKING NEWS - Renaldo Joganic Update

This is Trish Donaldson for WKSN News.

Earlier this month, Renaldo Joganic was caught hacking the UCAS Bank and was publicly lynched for being a Technomancer. At that time, Lone Star collected Renaldo's body for DNA testing and we now have positive confirmation that Mr. Joganic, AKA Blue Monday was in fact a Technomancer.

Lone Star representative, Jane Hawkins told WKSN News that Mr. Joganic, had been undergoing long term treatment for Artificially Induced Psychotropic Schizophrenia Syndrome (AIPS) at a local medical facility.

"No one is really sure, when Renaldo escaped from the facility. No video camera captured the escape and the security system had actually been hacked to display a loop of video, so it looked like the patient had never left. What's even weirder is that the hospital logs still listed that he was being checked on daily. After a bit of investigating, we found that the nurse checking on Renaldo didn't actually exist and that her pay was being deposited to a hacked UCAS Bank account. It seems to us that Renaldo Joganic hacked the hospital computers, escaped unnoticed and went to collect the money, that he had scammed from the hospital," said Jane Hawkins

"While Lone Star doesn't condone this sort of vigilante justice, the Seattle citizens involved did use a favor and took out a very dangerous criminal," said Sargent Banks.

BREAKING NEWS - ALMAX BIOTECHNOLOGY ATTACKED

This is Trish Donaldson for WKSN News.

Heavy gunfire and multiple explosions rocked the Almax Biotechnology facility early this morning.

Pete Derie, a representative for Almax Biotechnology had this to say, "The attack early this morning was completely unprovoked and right now, we're trying to get to the bottom of this. We sustained heavy property damage and several of our security guards were killed during this attack."

"Lone Star did respond to our emergency alert, but got here far too late to do anything but gawk at the damage. So, we cancelled their contract and removed them from the scene. Knight Errant, will now be providing security for this facility."

Lone Star representative, Jane Hawkins told WKSN News that they think Almax overreacted. "We've provided reliable security for Almax Biotechnology, for well over a decade now and we've been extremely discrete. It's interesting, that we were removed from the scene before we could get a closer look at the burning wreckage or bring in a proper investigation squad."
