Mysterious killer and victim vanish, leave behind lethal radiation
The SPPD reported the recent murder of another Newcomer, whose name is unknown and the body of whom was not found. The death has been blamed on the serial killer 'Sylar', surely a pseudonym, whose body also mysteriously vanished. Video evidence, witness statements and the crime scene alone account for this crime, which happened on the evening of the 26th in a warehouse in Sector 9.
With both the victim and the murderer unaccounted for, but clearly dead if the evidence is anything to build from, the case appears to be stitched up, although as has been controversially noted in the newsfeed recently, dead Newcomers rarely seem to stay that way, and usually reappear. Instances of murder victims being interviewed about ongoing cases are growing more frequent in cases of Newcomer murder, even if - as seems to have occurred on Monday, Newcomers seem less hesitant when it comes to applying their own brand of justice.
The crime scene itself is apparently a no go zone, due to unnaturally high levels of radiation left by the killer. The nature of Sylar's powers are still unknown. Police are asking that anyone who could identify the victim please come forward and do so, as no name has been discovered with which to inform her next of kin--if indeed she has any.
Governor Instates Quarantine for “Hexa-Virus”, Announces State of Medical Emergency
The metal pattern that appeared yesterday has crossed over and infected humans as well as some Darkness Monsters, General Hospital doctors have announced today. The young boy who reportedly cut himself on a patterned trashcan yesterday was rushed to Siren's Port General Hospital last afternoon, when his mother reported he was “moaning and behaving oddly”, when she noticed that same pattern appearing on his arm. Doctors studied what they call a “cell-like infection” but had no further comments. The boy was left overnight until they could get more information on this “infection” in an attempt to treat it. David Hall, age 6, almost set fire to the floor above just before Sirens when he released an explosion from his body which decimated the wall of his hospital room, injuring two nurses in the process. One nurse is in critical condition after part of the wall fell on top of her; the other was battered, but apart from some bruising to her ribcage and a twisted ankle, she was fine. David leapt three stories to escape, but did not seem to be injured as he ran away.
“I've never seen anything like it,” Adrian Vyuksavich, another nurse in charge of David, commented this morning. “I ran to the door and saw him leap out of the hole he'd made. He landed like a cat on top of one of the ambulances.” Helen Hall, David's mother, mentioned that she knew about his powers but they had never shown that level of magnitude before; he had only ever singed the cat once with his powers. A janitor there, one Mr. Perkins, was able to use his powers to repair the wall before any Darkness managed to seep into the hospital. The room is still under quarantine due to some cells that David left behind on the metal railings of his bed.
In light of this, Governor Townshed with the backing of the SPPD urges the populace to stay away from any objects with this pattern, and especially keep an eye out for anyone that shows symptoms of fatigue or shows any hexagon-shaped metallic cells on their skin. A ward in the General Hospital has been designated for such patients as a quarantine area, and Voids have been called in to keep more incidents like this from happening. Four people who were reportedly infected by a small group of Long-Tongued Freaks in the Darkness were brought into the quarantine this morning.
Twenty more people were reported as missing this morning, including the three from yesterday, which police are assuming to be victims of this strange infection. This now includes little David Hall, along with newcomer Helen Magnus, who was reported missing this morning. Another man, Kyoji Kasshu, was reported as definitely infected by his brother, Domon, who reported “He's sick... he's not himself right now” in a news post he made to the Newcomer Network yesterday morning. He even went so far as to mention these metal scales and to avoid them at all costs. Domon Kasshu has since ignored all other questioning and could not be contacted.
(( ooc note: People out in the Darkness tonight may notice several monsters also have this strange patterning on them... and these monsters seem to have twice the strength and speed they had before. Common and uncommon monsters only. DG Cell Plot post is here for more information. ))
