Event Crasher
This last Wednesday, March 2nd, Dr. Finitevus made another reappearance in Neon City just after sunset. From what our reporters were able to gather, the doctor appeared at three public events, riding on the back of a Black Aero-VDramon, and attacked the digimon at each event. The wedding off Mr. and Mrs. Elecmon and Gizamon, the Movie in the Park night at Natsu Mizu-umi Park, and a concert by a local band called 'Cashe' were the events that Finitevus interrupted, all of them very populated with digimon.
In each event the doctor appeared using one of his "Warp Rings". It has been discovered these rings allow the doctor to transport from place to place at will. He descended each event and began to attack digimon indiscriminately. According to eye-witnesses, his partner would grab up the digimon and force them to devolve into a younger form or tama them all together before dispensing them into one of the Warp Rings.
Thankfully, due to the intervention of several brave digimon and their Tamers, many of the digimon that could have been captured were able to flee. In the end the local heroine, Silverwing, was able to save a large amount of the captives while her Partner battled the mad scientist.
Unfortunately a number of digimon who were at these events remain missing as of this article. Mr. Elecmon and Mrs. Gizamon are on the list of still missing digimon and their families are offering a 20,000 BIT reward to anyone who can give the authorizes information as to the whereabouts of these two newlyweds.
Dr. Finitevus is still at large and to be considered extremely dangerous. DATS urges citizens to not engage the doctor or his partner, and should they be seen, contact DATS immediately.

Axyori Magical Teashop in Ruins
The Axyori branch of Magical Tea Shop saw some serious damage this week when a battle broke out between two tamers, Wednesday, March 2nd. Manager Duo Maxwell went head to head with known sealed hostile Jake Clawson within the confines of the establishment after Clawson drove his motorcycle through the front door. Although it appeared to be a random attack, Maxwell later confirmed that he had, in fact, called Clawson out on a post he made over the network and challenged him to the showdown. Readers may recall Clawson was responsible for severely injuring several DATS agents during Valentines Day.
Despite evacuating the premises in order to keep injuries and causalities to a minimum, Maxwell sustained serious injuries after Tamer Estellise Sidos Heurassein, a worker at the shop, returned to get something she had left behind. Clawson used Heurassein as a distraction and tore in to Maxwell's leg, escaping shortly after. Though he was partially healed by Heurassien, he was still taken to Axyori General Hospital and remained in general care for two days before being released. The shop was heavily damaged in the fray and has been closed for repairs.
Maxwell has said that the recent virus was likely to blame for his irresponsible actions, stating that he wasn't feeling like himself when he challenged Clawson despite his connection to several of his victims, but also went on to say that he feels guilty regardless and wants to formally apologize to anyone he may have upset or angered in the aftermath of the event.
Maxwell has stated that the shop should be rebuilt within the month and will open before April, and that Axyori residents can still go to any of the other fine locations of the Magical Tea Shop. Heurassein couldn't be reached for comment. Clawson is still at large, still considered armed and extremely dangerous, and DATS has voiced concern that the event may have driven him deeper underground, making him potentially harder to find and apprehend.

Loony Lovegood Escapes, Then Returns
More trouble for Editor of the questionable so-called news paper "The Quibbler" and MAGI witch Luna Lovegood. Last week she escaped from custody of the mental rehabilitation hospital on Thursday, March 3rd. She was confined to the center several weeks back following her arrest while holding cursed magical items. During her escape she injured nearly every member of the security staff, several doctors and some patients.
Curiously enough she returned to the ward apologetically first thing Sunday morning. She is now under heavy sedation and security as her punishment is being decided upon. No word yet on if any further charges are going to be added.

Couples Attacked
This past week in Neon and Junk there have been reports of Tamer and Digimon couples being attacked after dark. The resulting injuries range from minor to severe but non-life-threatening, although at least one Digimon has been tamaed. The attacker has been described as a red-haired boy wearing green. It is unknown at this time if this is related to the virus currently affecting Tamers, but all Neon and Junk residents are advised to travel in large groups if they must be out late.

The Darker Side of Viruses
On Tuesday, March 1st, the recent virus took a dark turn when one Sadamitsu Tsubaki, apparently under the effects of Lust, attempted to sexually assault DATS Agent Riza Hawkeye in Neon City. Hawkeye subdued him and summoned DATS, who took Tsubaki into custody. DATS has released Tsubaki now that the virus has ended, stating that they have determined that his actions were a result of the virus and were not of his own will.
DATS, Hawkeye, and Tsubaki have all refused further comment on this matter.
