Skye Medical Clinic Overfilled
This is a short blurb on the Skye Medical Clinic being overwhelmed with citizens who were wounded in the earthquake or who were seeking safety in the Darkness. The head doctor, Skye Pyke, after telling reporters to please get out of his face since he's busy with medical treatments, took the time only to state that every bed in the hospital is filled, every room chock full of patients being treated for injuries ranging from life threatening to minor. After stating that the Clinic will continue to take as many people as possible and offer safe haven to as many as possible, Dr. Pyke continued attending to triage. Patients in the ER have stated that most injuries as of now are Darkness-related rather than being directly caused by the earthquake.
Grant Stadium Offers Safe Haven From Darkness
This article reports that Grant Stadium will be cancelling all sports events for the next week and will be transforming the large space inside the stadium into a campground to offer a safe haven to citizens who have lost their homes or whose homes have had the Darkness-proofing compromised. A food drive is being organized to help gather food for those who flock to the Stadium at Night. The stands are full, as is the field area, though there is still some room for anyone who may still need assistance.
Grant Stadium has avoided any structural damage due to the ultra-modern building techniques used in its construction, with only superficial or aesthetic damage being reported.
Underground Mall Structure Sound
Emergency investigation of the Underground Mall's structure after yesterday afternoon's earthquake has shown that the mall is still sound. The large cave that the mall is tucked away in is one of the strongest structures in the City. While seven buildings, as well as the ferris wheel, fell inside the mall during the earthquake, the Underground Mall has not had its structure compromised. The governor suggests that any citizens who cannot find safety at a hospital or Grant Stadium make their way to the Underground Mall. Though some minor Darkness-proofing issues have been reported near some entrances, these are being dealt with by security, and most businesses will still be operating despite minor damage.
NOTE: The following bullet point emergency broadcasts will be seen scrolling across the bottom of every NV screen when it is turned on.
* 542 people still missing after yesterday's earthquake.
* Subway system crashes to a halt after a cave in between Azura and Browning stops. Transit system functioning on emergency capacity.
* Siren's Port Power and Gas reports that the electricity and heat will be consistently provided again before evening sirens.
* Siren's Port General Hospital filling with earthquake casualties.
* Severe damages reported in Sector 7 - expect yet more price hikes in food sales.
* Winthers Lake has shown signs of strange bubbling and geysers - several residents have died or been severely injured due to radiation poisoning.
* Darkness-proofing throughout the City has been compromised - casualties continue to mount due to failed Darkness-proofing.
* Fire from cracked gas pipe breaks out in the slums - kills 10 people and razes a City block of abandoned buildings.
* Flooding in Sector 5 reported due to waves related to aftershocks.
* Statements from AGI corporate offices are on hold until Italy deDrago can locate all members of his family - "My family comes first for me. I'm sorry." states Tully.
* SERO refuses to release a statement about the earthquake until further research is done.
* Aftershocks damage Tower Apartments, baseball diamond, and other locations in Sector 4. Sector 4 hardest hit after Sector 7, with widespread damage.
* Newcomers band together to protect each other - blatant self-preservation, or admirable charity?
* Forest razed in Sector 7 - how will this affect our environment?
