- Terrorist Newcomer Rampages At City Hall
A massive breach of City Hall’s purportedly airtight security this afternoon has left the city’s most prominent AGI and SERO lobbyists dead, City Hall with a substantial electrical fire in the executive wing, and Governor Townshed’s whereabouts completely unknown.
Sonshiro "Sonny" Durante(62) and Aileen Eberhardt(46), longstanding rival corporate affiliates, were scheduled to meet with Governor Townshed for a casual dinner appointment to discuss issues of city economic policy.
According to an injured survivor on the scene, the Governor’s personal secretary Hilde Geurande, while they were waiting outside his office, bickering with one another, “a homicidal maniac showed up out of nowhere, whipped out his NV and a fistful of lightning, then- BAM! Hit both Sonny and Eileen. Everything went dark except for the sparks- I woke up spattered in blood, and by then security had finally responded and took him down. We had to evacuate because my paperwork caught fire, and no one’s seen the governor since!”
His actions were caught self-recorded on NV, sent to the news media by an anonymous source. Camera footage has not been released, but many are speculating if this plot was an inside job, and pending investigations may reveal traitors to the city government working in the building.
Although Null Security officers quickly apprehended the suspect on site at City Hall, and police have identified him as newcomer Sasuke Uchiha, they allegedly passed off the suspect in transit through sector 2 when stopped by an armed patrol of SERO Security. Chief Miller, too outraged to appear on camera, has had both officers fired and arrested, and is presently in “hard negotiations” with the head of SERO’s Security Division, who denies the reported hand off and claims they are not holding or protecting the suspect. SERO’s public relations have assured the nightly news that they will do “everything in their power to assist the SPPD locating this dangerous lunatic.”
Police are frantically searching for any records of the newcomer, who arrived in Port some time last year. Anyone with further information on his whereabouts is urged to come forward. St. Matthew has placed a bounty of 2 million on his head, Dead or Alive. Newcomers with networked connections to the suspect at the Tower Apartments and Newcomer Community Center will likely be called in for questioning.
As of evening sirens, Governor Townshed is still reported missing. Under the city codes set down in 1947, if the elected governor is missing or unresponsive for over 48 hours, the Police Chief may declared the city under a state of Martial Law.

- The Dog’s Breakfast Pub will be serving up a Bloody Ceasar on the house all day tomorrow, to anyone who can carry a quick conversation with the bartender in Latin. They’ll also be serving up ½ price Irish Draft Beer & Whiskey all weekend for St. Patrick’s Day, with live music all day Sunday.
- The Newsfeed’s Horoscope Writer has submitted to the editor this morning, pleading with him to remind the city to Beware the Ides of March. The warning goes to print with the caveat that if she is incorrect, this Sunday will be the last publication of her astrological drivel.
[OOC Et Tu, Brute? Mini Event The Core must be feeling like you all need a refresher on Roman History. Tomorrow, March 15th, all denizens of Siren’s Port will find themselves consumed by either one of two effects:
1) Hypervigilance & Paranoia of Betrayal - Everything! Everywhere! Is out to get you! From your bus coming late, to your best buddy giving you shady looks every time you turn your back, this day has it out for you, man!
2) The irrepressible compulsion to behave treacherously toward someone you normally are faithful to. Maybe it’s your partner, your best friend, your favorite client or customer. Maybe it’s your boss, or even your kid. Whatever it is, the urge is to Carpe Diem and take what you deserve while you can! They’ll forgive you.... right?]
