News Highlights
There is a highlights reel on the evening news, interviewing victims of Wednesday's riots, focusing on smaller-scale human interest stories, and focusing on injuries caused by violent use of powers.
There's a featured story on a burn victim, a print-ad cosmetics model, who was hit in the face with a molten trash can lid. Luckily, her famous face is insured for up to $300,000 of reconstructive surgery.
Another about a woman who lost the 2nd generation family business, a Sector 4 diner that was burned to the ground.
A Sector 1 adult store which was looted of everything but the condoms, much to the dismay of the uninjured but amused counter help, who quietly tsks about the Port's youth "never cottoning on to safe sex practices."
A wind-elemental, arrested for blowing tear-gas back in the faces of SPPD riot control squads. AGI posted bail for him this morning, and he openly professes his gratitude on-camera.
A spotlight on several healers, and altruistic 'Street Heroes' who helped many. This segment is drawn in sharp contrast to a negative story on SERO Hospital's ambulance teams, their First Response paramedics depicted as 'curbside test-subject pickers'.
An enormous bearded and still-drunken man, who claims his left shoe was the first object to hit Redgrave's casket, and boasts he'd do it all over again, if given the chance.
The special reports end with the heart-wrenching story of a tearful young girl, whose father was found with a gaping hole in his throat. In the brief moments while they were separated in the crowd, her daddy was attacked. Doctors report that his flesh appears to have rotted away, and there were splotches of organic material on his clothing that looked like dust. A young man, thought to be a teenager, was seen fleeing the scene where the man fell. The brown haired man was between 5'7 - 6'1, wearing a pair of mechanic overalls and long sleeves. He is wanted for questioning.

BREAKING NEWS: Due to robbery at it's main branch during the riots and many panicked withdrawals and account closures yesterday, Siren's Port Savings & Loan (SPSL), the oldest neutral bank in the city, may be filing as a failed financial institution. While the bank is closed over the weekend, the business rumor mill speculates that AGI may be negotiating a buyout.
[A Red Flag warning for this one, those who would know: The account for the Newcomer Fund? Is housed at this fine financial establishment.]
- Sanitation Department Workers Break Off Strike After a plea from city officials to help with the clean-up efforts following Wednesday's riots. Their demands for contract re-negotiation have been tentatively tabled with the union for the end of the month.
- Need a break? Stop by the Newcomer Bake Sale and Maid Cafe at the Newcomer Community Center. All baked goods are on a buy-one-take-one sale today. Proceeds go towards funding the NPP's future projects and initiatives. Troublemakers and rioters will not be tolerated.
