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.

DALATRASS LINRON ADDRESSES UNION

You wouldn't recognize honor if it pierced your crest, whelp. Preying on defenseless are for waste bandits and Blood Pack like you.

You prove your true strength by taking on and down people who are matched or stronger than you!

What the fuck. I wake up and someone's used a fucking self replicating WMD on the homeworld of a council race.

What the fuck.

GODDAMMIT

WHAT THE FLYING SHITTING FUCK

>GO TO BED AFTER GIVING UP ON CAMERAS
>COME BACK
>FUCKING NANOTECH WMDS AND FUCKING PLANT SHIT

WHAT THE FUCK

If it is we're just going to have to kill it again.

Then you're on point this time.

Sigh.

I'll get the shotgun.

Oh please. You can't even walk right.

And that aint the beastie.

Who gives a fuck about honor and all that shit stupid old fucks like you never shut the fuck up about. War ain't about being polite. War is about crushing the fucking enemy. All of em. You don't have to kill em. You just got to completely break them in every way you can, whether that means breaking every fucking bone in their body or burning their fucking village to the ground while they watch.

Fuck honor. Honor is just for pussies like you who are too afraid of killing and want to make up a bunch of stupid bullshit about it to make yourself feel better.

edit: I don't know what the fuck a QOOROQ is. But it sounds pretty fucking badass.

This isn't the time for your cultish camaraderie! Stop making coded references that I can't understand!

Unless it's somehow going to help!

Look, just tell me, what do I have to do to get in?! I don't care if it's humiliating.

tl;dr mind-controlling alien fungus that was taking over the galaxy in secret, we killed it and life went back to normal right up until the Reapers rolled in, end of story.

I'm serious, it was in the news at one point a few years back.

Jeez, no fucking respect.


And just like that, I've got other theories. REAPER BIOWEAPON.

Still getting my shotgun.

But we shall see.

Wheeldammit, this would be the first thing I see on the news after getting 'net access back.

No matter what the goals and objectives of the responsible people are but whoever turns loose stuff like THAT loses every credibility. Nothing justifies that, nothing at all.

You don't say. How we're going to contain this I have no idea.

Now go get yourself a batarian or human or someone with two braincells to translate this into stupid for you.

Burning your enemy's home, wife and kids to the ground only leads to grandiously pissed off enemy because they got nothing to return to anymore, they want to see you dead and crushed, so they'll return the favour and try off your home and family. If they're too weak, they die while trying but if not, you're at the same level as they now.

If you rob the enemy chances of dignified surrender and chance to accept your strength without dying, then everyone else will see the bloody bastard you've become to and treat you harsher accordingly and the cycle goes on.

If all you got are a varren's smarts then a varren you will be and never achieve anything else. See the other races here? They got rules in place to limit the extent of war. They got to develop enough in peace to go to space, to research and advance. Now see us krogan? No rules but just KILL KILL KILL. We never got off Tuchanka on our own because we were too busy KILLING each other like the dumb fucks we'd ended up being. Salarians just came to pick us up and point us at the Rachni and when we were done killing them, they neutered us because shit, they don't need no brainless beasts anymore.

I'd feel sorry for you for being such dumb shit but you're too irritating for that.

You idiots. That isn't a plant; that's just the nanocolony going out of control and forming a malleable solid protoform before it branches out and spreads. The plant life isn't mutating.

It'll just be processed into component matter and used to build more nanos, is all.

I received a letter from the Emergency Response Division.

He didn't make it.

Oh.. dear.

My home is gone. My ... My family..

LIKE WE GIVE A SHIT

also, how do you know this crap, you're a hacker and 'comedian' not a nanotech weapons specialist

What do you do when you're not pushing virus-laden software



Shit...

I guess it was too much to hope for that no-one here would lose anyone.

I don't know what to say. I really don't. I'd say it's good that they've finally released some details on casualties, but... this isn't how we wanted to find out, I'm sure we'd... all agree on that.

I actually feel somewhat bad about the fact that my clan are all on the other side of the planet, which is stupid I know, but...

I really sympathise. I would say that I can't believe this is happening, but, you know, I can.

I need to go get a drink. Excuse me.

Every update is terrible.

This can't just be some Reaper attack. Why would they just attack Sur'Kesh?

Tier II. I can't believe it.
