Eyewitness accounts and station contacts indicate that the superstructure of the central terminal has been critically damaged and is in the processing of collapsing.

This is highly concerning. Whether the aggressors' demands are met or not, they have set a dangerous precedent in post-war internal politics for enacting radical changes. Anti-SATAE organizations on Earth and turian dissidents might be inspired to enact similar acts to promote their agendas.

Who was it?

Man, don't even get me fucking started. When the Bahak Brigade sees this shit, they'll try to fucking up the ante back in the Confederation. Precedent nothing, these fucking Salaricerbies just raised the bar.


Meek-Son-of-Mook, MacroFrawg, KaptinKode, and a few others. At least one seemed to be MacroFrawg's protege, which means we lost at least one promising newbie too.

I...

I know that a lot of people are grieving over lost family and friends and that I wasn't exactly close to these guys, but the hacker community's pretty tight-knit. Even if you're not friends, you're at least colleagues and acknowledge each-other's work, know each-other's names. This is...this sucks. First the Reaper War cut the community's numbers down big-time, and then this attack kills some of our community's best and brightest.

I need a drink.

Yet I find yer far less likely to find this kind of shit on Earth or Palaven than Sur'kesh.

You say that now~

YOU PSYCHOTIC FREAKS ARE INSANE!

What? Are you envious of the mass destruction everyone else suffered? Is this some survivors guilt crap? because I just don't buy that you give a damn about putting males in power when you just started SLAUGHTERING THEM! You killed my nephew!

If you wanted to get people on your side you just done SCREWED SHIT UP BEYOND ANY REPAIR!

You're animals, and you'll be put down like animals.

I don't believe this shit...

Not just the Bahak Brigade, the Na'Hesit and Ub'Hesit have been trying to keep the extremists on their respective sides in check, but as you said, this could be the spark that leads to actual disorder.

The salarians must deal with this threat to their sovereignty, and soon.

Oh, jeez. Don't get me started on the crazies in my own political camp. The anti-slavery movement doesn't need that right now, and the salarians' batch of kooks just opened the fucking floodgates.

Be ready for a galactic WAVE of fucking terrorism, people.

To those residing on the Citadel, if you have any concerns regarding this incident, please contact C-Sec. Otherwise, remain calm, I do not want to be hearing reports of people attacking salarians based on nothing but paranoid assumptions.

I know some of those screennames... fuck.

I'm going to go take a nap.

Because the galaxy doesn't have enough problems to deal with. Because there aren't enough terrorists running amok, or unrest in areas that are better off than most. Because we haven't seen enough shootings, attacks, threats, non-peaceful protests, senseless murders, and borderline civil wars since the galaxy was nearly destroyed.

Now we have people that make the Cerberus attack on the Citadel in the middle of the apocalypse look like a game of fucking hopscotch. Fucking spirits, they just gave every 'revolutionary' sect in the Milky Way the go ahead to start doing the serious shit. The angry people who were restraining themselves from doing this before now have no reason to hold back.

Reapers couldn't destroy us. Looks like they never needed to.

Shrell it. Spend six months on a deep-space rig and you come back to utter chaos. Which one of you shrelling assholes set shit to "crazy?"

Seriously, though. Thanks for making my life a lot more interesting, drekheads. Appreciate it.

Well... there's go my vacation.

Scrag.

The corp's not granting any leaves. No surprises there. It's still frustrating as the underside of the Wheel though, and we won't be able to do anything about it besides donate creds until Sapient Resources pulls their collective head outta their cloaca and realize the Union's gonna need everyone it can get to take down these Wheeldamned extremists.

Man, that ad server doesn't have ANY sense of timing or decorum, does it?

Uhh...

Wow.

That's some crazy shrelling shit that just happened.

This is why the Union has to remain strong. The terrorists are calling for "public audits" and I wouldn't be surprised if someone in the SDU was providing the backing for this. STG sympathizers, traitors, and similar Wheel-damned lowlifes. These so-called supporters of democracy are only going to send us to ruin. Just look at SATAE.

As for the krogan on the board, slapping their fatbacks and thinking this is great, just remember that you weren't responsible. Even if the genophage is off for now, you're still as impotent as ever.

Naw. It's better when you fucks are killing yourselves. Shows everyone that for all your shit talking you froggy little fucks ain't any better than us

What the hell! How did they...what the hell!

Just..fuck. How did they do that! They got right past the STG like they weren't even there.
