[Tuchanka] Alien Volunteers Assaulted

Alien Volunteers Assaulted
Splinter Groups Suspected in Attack

Cross-posted from Tuchanka Times

Baelis Safe Grounds, Southern Torrents, TUCHANKA - Five volunteer aid workers were injured in what is believed to be an attack by isolationist extremists yesterday in a demilitarized safe zone. All five, consisting of two humans and three asari, were taken to nearby medical facilities and remain in critical condition. In addition to the attack, authorities found a note stapled into the flesh of one of the victims. While the exact details of the note have not been released, one of the investigators stated on condition of anonymity that it consisted of “mostly threats to cause alien deaths” if the volunteers did not leave.

The volunteers were members of a group called Hope Springs Eternal, created by both Citadel and Krogan committees. The organization mainly assists in agriculture, reconstruction, and rebuilding the planet, which has had a long history of violence and destruction. There are at least ten organizations with similar goals currently working on Tuchanka.

"I didn't think this would happen. They just finished their work and decided to head home when the attack happened," HSE shift manager Jorham Voris told reporters earlier today. "We're officially sanctioned by both the Citadel Council and the Clan-leaders of Tuchanka. A lot of our volunteers have been here since the War, and we've been doing a lot of good helping out. I don't see why anyone would want to attack us."

Many doubt that there are any large groups responsible for the attacks. Indeed, when asked about the extremists, local clan leader Drau Aranda had this to say: "There are plenty of clans on Tuchanka that still resent alien influence in our business, we can't deny that. But none of them are stupid enough to outright attack them, especially in our safe zones. This is where we keep Tuchanka's future, our children and our rebuilding projects. Anyone who tries to cause trouble here is thrown to the varren. Any clan that tries to disrupt our efforts will be destroyed." She has also expressed hope that the attack was an isolated incident.

One anonymous source, however, wrote to the Tuchanka Times with a comment: “These aliens get what's coming to them. Tuchanka is ours, and I hope that the next attacks kill them.”

Sir, I would sternly protest this if it hadn't made me laugh so much.

Ma'am. And your lack of outrage is disconcerting.

This story is fuckin' mind-blowin'.

Yeah, I'm safe. Last guy who had a problem with me and my fellow volunteers who tried to start something ended up head first in a shit vat.Think we proved that we were krogan enough with that, so most of the people with a problem usually keep their mouths shut.

I'm not going to run away just because a few whelps have a problem with us volunteers. And, no offence, I've had enough with slavers and their heartless bullshit in one lifetime.

Happy to hear it. Be safe.


My apologies.

Shit bro, that's fucked up.

Now we ain't camped anywhere near Southern Torrents, like different continent, but if this shit spreads and they get to hear about a battalion of hardcore Hierarchy badasses working light patrols and reconstruction duty? Fuck dude, I mean not only aliens, not only armed soldiers, but turians, yeah? Who the fuck you think's gonna be top of their shitlist?

Figure I'mma have to start sleeping with one eye open, you get me?

I'd complain about these idiots, but it wouldn't do anything. Only thing someone with two rocks rubbin' together for a brain understands is hittin' him with another rock. Preferably a big one.


Like this. And they say aliens don't understand Tuchanka.

Who, this made me sick a little bit.

I just hope they make it. Since there is no "five volunteers killed" posting yet, I think this may be good news. Does anybody have further info on their state? Maybe Epsilon, what's the word on Tuchanka?

Just because I'm volunteering on the same planet doesn't mean I have any info on them. I just understand what's going on. I'm on the other side of the planet, so I'm going to have to guess you need to contact those Hope Springs Eternal guys.

Those guys are sloppy. If it were me, I would've just crushed the volunteers' skulls.

Whelp, you do that on my precinct an' you're in for a world of hurt. No one touches aid workers with ill will and gets away with it.
