POSSIBLE TERRORIST ATTACK ON SUR'KESH MEGALOPOLIS

By Selleso Idrik

Entish, ANNOS BASIN - Orbital arrays and planetary sensor nets have confirmed the mass deployment of military grade weaponry in the Tevishi Vael Spaceport at 1145 local time. Eyewitness accounts and station contacts indicate that the superstructure of the central terminal has been critically damaged and is in the processing of collapsing.

Evacuations of the rest of Tevishi Vael is ongoing, all liners have been grounded and special response units are being deployed on the scene. All flights have been redirected to nearby Rukyo and Spire Eighteen ports. Death toll is unknown. The number of wounded is also as of yet unknown but projected to be extensive given the event occurred at the height of the port’s rush hour traffic.

Union military detachments have been scrambled to the city and are expected to be arriving within the next several hours to assist in the establishment of a quarantine line around the port and reinforce civil defense units.

More on the situation as it develops.



***UPDATE***

Secondary detonations around Tevishi Vael at 1200 local time, believed to be some form of resonance based demolitions technology. Ewasi Grove, Little Disan, Heavenly Clutch, Osoli Osol, and Primary Southwest arcologies have sustained critical damage. Secondary collapses have inflicted severe damage to the structural integrity of neighboring buildings.

Quarantine line has been breached. First Union military units are disembarking. Stage Three Alert has been upgraded to a localized Stage Two, full scale evacuation of Southern Entish is now in effect.

Death toll is unknown. Number of wounded is unknown.



***UPDATE***

Individual believed to be responsible for the bombing of Tevishi Vael engaged elements at the quarantine line with an unknown device at 1210 local time. Device generated extreme heat, light, and lethally high levels of radiation during detonation. Civil defense units caught in blast zone around confirmed Killed In Action. Additional units are requiring medical evacuation and treatment for acute radiation poisoning and burns.

Bomber is believed to be traveling deeper into the city along the Faasi Expressway. Forward elements of Union military forces are moving to engage with air support.



***UPDATE***

Bomber created an Uvaso Class/Tier II nanotech event with secondary effects at 1220 local time when isolated and surrounded at K 32 of the Faasi Expressway. Heavy ordinance failed to breach defensive shell.

Military liaison has confirmed the destruction of two gunships and a Union infantry platoon but has refused to release unit designations. Debris created by the collapse of the Faasi Expressway has made kill confirmation impossible.

What species can stand a suitcase nuke going off in their face?

Or he had a particle projector of some sort. Which, uh, is decidedly more likely. Or a payload launcher with fissionables/fusionables.

Has the bomber been identified as any given race? Salarian? Human? Krogan? Any updates from other sources right now? Undernet's going insane with this.

Going by your original premise of a dirty bomb, then it's pretty obvious who could manage something like that.

Or it isn't if you're an idiot.

Oh, wait.

Nothing sort of a Reaper construct could possibly stand up to a burst like that point blank and I'm having hard time believing a krogan could withstand that sort of combination of rads, shrapnel and fire and I'm not quite ready yet to believe Reapers would bother to discriminate and go for Sur'Kesh only.

So if you'd be so kind and tell what you're poorly trying to imply it would be helpful.

Oh fucking hell.

She means its the fucking rock lizards, you moron.

Nuclear device used, which the krogan are very fond of, materials used for explosives associated with krogan mining, I mean, what other race do you think would have a grudge against the frogs? And don't tell me you buy all that "Shadow war" crap that was all the rage with the conspiracy theorists a while back.

And you all were saying "the genophage was wrong!", well, tell that to the frogs today, the ones still alive at least..

Look, for the record I'm sitting on my front porch on my nice little farm far away from Sur'Kesh.

Just sayin'.

go for the eggs

heh heh heh

That came from fucking JOB you can't tell me you're being serious when you say you buy that

One sec, trying to see if I can't hack some traffic camera feeds or something

Yield's wrong for a proper nuke, maybe a dirty bomb but this dude's been walking away from his explosions. A launcher's more likely.

That won't make you a suspect or anything.

There's still the fucking question of how the flying fuck the guy managed to get that to bypass spaceport security. STG aren't known for fucking that up, especially with the terror attacks over the last two years. Even if the 'shadow war' is all varrenshit, people have been getting killed, and then this happens. This is in a completely different clawball park.



Oh, fuck off, Daia. I'm trying to get eyes-on, here.

<ERR: SIGNAL LOST>

And breaking into a quarantined city's surveillance zone in the middle of an ongoing terrorist attack is surely the brightest idea you've figured out.

Well, it's certainly not my worst in recent memory.

One of these days, people are going to listen to Job.

No we won't.


Wait, wasn't Spiza on Sur'Kesh? He mentioned that he won some contest or other?

That's...that's not good.

BYE!

heh heh heh


Sounds pretty fucking good me. One less frog to shit up the forums

i know rite
