Further damage to baseball field.
Saturday evening was yet another hard one for the newcomer’s field, as it apparently was hit by what some believe to be a meteor. This follows damage that had already been done by another earlier in the year, putting a smaller, though still significant dent in the ground and burning some of the nearby area.
Once again the actual cause has disappeared, and police would like information as to the cause. Local residents have shown some amount of concern about whether this meteor may carry some sort of space radiation.
There is talk of trying to level out the damage, but the article admits that funding might be difficult to come by.
Police Investigation Into Newcomer Attacks Continues
This is an article about the recent rash of attacks on newcomers that have occurred in the past two weeks. The reporter gives a quick description of the attacks that have happened - the initial four brutal deaths of newcomers Poland, Szayel Aporro Grants, Death the Kid, and Kouichi Aizawa, all beaten to death. The article goes on to detail attacks that have occurred since then, specifically a young girl who was stabbed in public, and a teenage boy who was knocked down and stabbed in the street. The article also mentions the attacks on newcomer-managed establishments Club 24 and Icha Icha Paradise, with the perpetrators of these attacks seeming to have been apprehended by the owner of Icha Icha Paradise.
The report goes on to say that thus far, the police have found little to no connection in the attacks that have happened since the initial four murders. The police state that they seem to be unrelated, as the modus operandi was different, and that they are likely to be copycats.
The article closes off with a statement from the police telling newcomers to be cautious but not to worry too much. They claim that they are putting all the effort possible into apprehending these copycat attackers.
SERO Sponsors Funeral for Dead Newcomers
This article is run in a SERO-sponsored news feed available to everyone in the City regardless of faction. It states that a SERO representative stepped forward today to announce that, in the wake of AGI's recent mishandling of the newcomer attacks, they are sponsoring a funeral for the four murdered newcomers that were found in the City.
The SERO representative has stated that these murders were a tragedy, and should not be tolerated. The representative goes on to state that AGI's tactic of dealing with the crisis at hand through celebration is inappropriate considering how tragic the deaths were. In response, SERO will be hosting this open funeral at a private convention center in
Sector 2. The funeral is open to all citizens, regardless of affiliation, and refreshments will be provided. The funeral will honor the lives of these newcomers, and anyone who knew them is welcome to volunteer to speak at the funeral.
This funeral will be held on Friday afternoon.

Horoscopes
These horoscopes were written up for the week to come, provided by Madam Jurie. They are generally considered to be quite accurate! They may be a good thing to keep in mind for the week to come.
Aries - The past may come back to haunt you this week. Some things just can't be avoided, but be sure to stay flexible. After all, bending is better than breaking.
Taurus - Face forward and storm ahead. Don't be afraid to break barriers and make your own way. The things behind you can only be left behind you, and the things ahead will be better.
Gemini - You might find yourself torn between how things have always been and what they might become this week. Don't be afraid to make the choice you know is right.
Cancer - Everyone around you is growing and changing. You might find it a bit scary to see them making steps to fly the nest, but don't worry too much. Cancer is a nurturing sign - I'm sure they'll come back to your bosom.
Leo - It might be time to make some serious changes. Sometimes the way things have always been isn't the right way for things to be. Your past shouldn't always dictate your future.
Virgo - All those plans you made are paying off. Being precise and attentive in your past is paying off for you this week. Keep an eye out for the opportunity to knock - you've worked hard for it.
Libra - Indecisiveness is not the best course of action this week. You need to decide to change before any change can happen, and this week, change is important.
Scorpio - Give up already. Your single-mindedness is keeping you locked in what has come before, and sometimes it's a good idea to move on - and away.
Sagittarius - You never like to cling onto things, do you? Always moving on. This week it may serve you well, since not every old standby is a good thing.
Capricorn - You might be a control freak because you've always been controlled in your previous life. You can break free of those bonds without forcing them on others, so try.
Aquarius - Sure you've had a bit of trauma, but maybe it's time to get over it? Letting go of the past can be painful, and maybe a little terrifying, but now is the time to do it.
Pisces - The past is only as important as you make it. Everything has come together to form the person you are, but remember that you are the one who decides your future.
[OOC Note: The horoscopes are considered by most in the City to be very accurate, since a lady with an ability for this sort of thing provides them. Use them as you will - accurate or not.]
