- Thousands Lost in Betting Pool Causes Outrage Amongst Patrons

Baseball fans everywhere were infuriated yesterday when the electronic betting pool at Grant Stadium inexplicably malfunctioned and thousands of dollars were lost mid-transactions. Authorities say the timing of the incident was far too convenient, and that this is the second time this month that money has disappeared electronically from this particular location.

The owner of Grant Stadium apologized for the mishap and promised to guard the funds of the city’s people far better in the future.

As of this time, it is unknown who is responsible for these thefts, but it is assumed it may be a technopath with some experience in manipulating finances.

[ ooc: If you’re looking to catch the culprit of this heist, Vasilios Stavros is your man. ]

He's using his 'doctor' voice though, very professional, this guy.]

 

Just in case anyone's interested, we've isolated several toxins produced by many of the common breeds of darkness monsters and cooked up an anti-venom. It's still a work in progress, even with private funding, and not quite thoroughly tested, but still available at Skye and one of our local clinics.

 

I'm also opening my research to the network before certain parties get their hands on it, i'm sure it's a profitable market, but it won't do any of us a lick of good if it's stuck on the back burner in a lab somewhere.  That being said, I could use an extra hand if anyone's got the time or scientific background. 

 

[He starts reaching to switch off his NV before hesitating, frowning... which isn't much different than his usual scowl.]

I don't suppose anyone's heard from Helen Magnus lately?  [He doesn't think he struck out badly enough that she won't return his calls, but who knows? He's not exactly smooth with the ladies.]
