TUCHANKA - Over the past few weeks, attacks on volunteers in Tuchanka have increased. Since the first attack reported by the Tuchanka Times, further reports have turned up about increased aggression on the planet, indicating an endemic problem.

"They're getting bold," said Danny Hansen, volunteer coordinator of the Earth-based association Soldiers of Peace. "I've had no less than twenty volunteers hospitalized, and almost everyone in my group are veterans, either from the war or before. I've had to withdraw relief efforts for the time being just because of these attacks. And every time this happens, we get the same damn messages that we’re not wanted here."

While no deaths have yet been reported, many are worried that it is only a matter of time before volunteers are forced to leave.

"It's worse for the turian and salarian volunteers." Jorham Voris of Hope Springs Eternal said yesterday. "For the past four days, I haven't let any of them out on jobs. I'm too afraid that we'd end up dealing with old grudges in addition to this new aggression."

The attacks have attracted the attentions of several Citadel governments, including the Systems Alliance and the Turian Hierarchy.

"We allowed, and even helped form these relief groups, out of a gesture of good faith." Dalatrass Alera of the Salarian Union said to Citadel News Net a few days ago. "And this is how they repay us? With violence and fear? I suppose we should not have expected more from the krogan."

While there is still much debate on the Dalatrass' assessment, several krogan have commented since her statement. "I don't care what any frog says," one Drekk Uvenk commented, "We never asked for alien help on Tuchanka. Our people has survived and endured whatever the galaxy has thrown at us. We don’t need their coddling."

Tuchanka Times has received similar comments since the attacks began.

What?

And I don't doubt it. But what are you doing against those "xenophobic runts"?

Generic you, I mean. I don't know if you're on Tuchanka or not, after all.

Well, the clan elders know what's up. They know that killing the people here to help us is not good. I know Urdnot and Namkor have got plans in motion (or at least I hope they do.)

Knowing and hoping aren't the same things.

But honestly, I'm not too sure what's going to go on. Most of the attacks I hear of are outside of camp grounds, whenever a volunteer team needs to help forage or clear an area, that's when they're attacked. I don't really think anyone is stupid enough to cause shit inside a camp ground, not unless they want their clan forbidden from seeing their own children.

Can't they lend a few warriors as escort?

The thing about that is that if they send an escort into the wrong clan's territory then you've got a whole different mess to deal with. That's why the groups usually would bring their own escorts, if any (back before the war it would've been CDEM doing the work, since all the clans hated CDEM equally). Dealing with clan politics is a lot worse, in theory, than just getting a bit of harassment. Of course, now it's worse than that.

Possibly due to the fact that humanity wasn't subject to a sterility plague for over a thousand years and/or regarded as having little use other than as brutal mercenaries. Just a thought.
