NEWSPAPER - BIWEEKLY EDITION
[Did you subscribe to The Genessia Tribune? Did you even remotely wish you had a newspaper or some other form of media to refer to for news, weather, and current events? Then you're in luck! There's a paperboy riding through the streets of Genessia flinging newspapers onto doorsteps or, if you're unlucky, through your window. Even remote locations in the other cities will still get a paper if one of the residents ever wanted one. The Paperboy is just that dedicated.]
[And if you're one of the following people, and you happen to subscribe to the newspaper, the Paperboy may or may not have flung the newspaper through that person's window, at the person, and/or broke something in the area: Hinata Hyuuga, Tashigi, David Haller, Ambrosia Gray, Reno, Jack Harkness, Maribelle, Robin..]
Extinguished Flames
The cyborg outfitted with flamethrowers on his arms that was listed in the paper has been caught. It has been discovered that the criminal is a member of the Cyborg terrorist group Red Claw. It appears that in an effort to upgrade some of their capabilities, they have instead ruined the mind of one of their soldiers.
The modifications have been removed from his body, but it appears the damage has already been done. We will attempt to get more information as it becomes available.
Health Minus
Health+, the pharmaceuticals company is in the news today after Riley Eval and the entire board were arrested last week. It was assumed that the murder of Angela Saintella was just a robbery gone wrong, but there was more to the case it seems. Angela had stumbled across information that the company was hiding and burying tests results from the medicine that they produced.
Side effects and health risks that cropped up during testing was ignored in lieu of being able to make more money in a shorter time frame. A class action lawsuit is expected to be filed against the company and board members as a result of these new findings. Guardian Haller is said to be working close with this case to help those hurt by the company to get justice.
When asked how the information turned up, Guardian Haller said that it was given to them by a tipster. When asked for the name of the tipster, he declined to give it, citing that if the person in question wants to come forward, they will. But otherwise he will be respecting their privacy.
Crime On The Rise
With the Mayor’s decision to release criminals that have been imprisoned under the false laws of the past, violent crimes have risen by 40% in Everglade. Many of the crimes bare a similarity to crimes that have been committed in the past and listed in the paper.
The disappearance of people and species of all ages have been reported since a day after the Mayor’s change. One parent says her 8 year old has been missing since Friday. One child hasn’t seen their parent since the mayor released the criminals. Husbands missing wives, people missing friends. Whether the people lived on the street on in homes, people are suffering.
Many are calling for the Mayor to be impeached on the grounds that his sanity seems to be comprised with such radical changes in the laws that he’s been making. Others are calling on the City Guardian to do something about the Mayor.
