[Tuchanka] Terrorist Bombing on Volunteer Center Leads to Action

Terrorist Bombing on Volunteer Center Leads to Action

Cross-Posted from Citadel News Net and Tuchanka Times

Baelis Safe Grounds, Southern Torrents, TUCHANKA Authorities, Citadel governments, and Clan leaders alike have been shocked in the aftermath of a terrible attack earlier today, where the headquarters of the volunteer relief organization Hope Springs Eternal was destroyed in a terrorist bombing early this morning.

The bomb went off at around 3:00 AM, local time, during a curfew that was implemented on the camp shortly after the last attack. Of the one hundred fifty eight volunteers and staff, there were no survivors.

“This is absolutely disgusting,” Clan Mother Urakk Aeara said of the attack, “and completely stupid. How can we prove to the galaxy that we’re ready to be a part of the galactic community when we have these pyjaks murdering people who are here to help us rebuild? How can we say we’re ready to have our own military, when they’re trying to say we can’t be trusted with weapons?”

Urakk Clan Leader Battlemaster Tharn put the krogan attitude to these attacks in simpler terms. “When we find out who’s responsible for this, we’ll tear them limb from limb. The clan they come from will be banned from any safe grounds, we’ll make [expletive] sure of that. Anyone who attacks our allies, we make them pay.”

CDEM officials have already started meeting with clan leaders and Citadel governments to investigate these attacks as well as to create protective measures for the volunteers, but some are not waiting.

“Whatever the Citadel or CDEM come up with, it won’t be in time,” Danny Hansen of Soldiers of Peace told Citadel News Net. “They’ve been doing nothing about the attacks. Most of my guys got out of the Alliance so that we could avoid these bomb threats while still doing good. These crazy bastards? The krogan bombing us? They won, I’m leaving this dump.”

While many krogan decry the bombing, some are apparently endorsing the attacks. Quash Urven spoke to Citadel News Net in the aftermath of the bombing. “We don’t need these aliens coddling us, infecting our children. No matter what anyone says, Tuchanka is in the state it is because of alien influence. It will only get worse unless we take back our future.”

Citadel News Net has reached out to Citadel officials, CDEM, and the governments in charge of volunteer efforts. At time of writing, there has been no comment.

You honestly believe it only happened that one time? Really? How naive are you? And the fact that we don't actually hear about doesn't mean anything. The fact that we hear about it from Tuchanka 'all the time' simply means that the reporting agency has a reason to report the attacks.

Oh and you don't hear about it 'all the time' you nitwit. The first report of attacks on alien volunteers occurred a month ago. In one month we have had four reports on the subject. Two of those reports involved injury, not death. If it weren't for the fact that the latest attack was a bomb then I would hazard a guess that more volunteers were killed on Tuchanka by wildlife than by krogan.

The rock lizards might very well be a bunch of warmongers who want to kill off the entire galaxy and piss on the ashes. But I highly doubt that they are the worst right now. Some people just like to think they are because they've been the galactic bogeymen for 1300 years.

Well we have to work with what's reported here. What's preventing me to decide that there ten times more volunteers killed on Thessia than on Tuchanka and just tell you that the news are covering it up?

The fact that there have been no reports of violence against volunteers on Thessia and that Thessia does not have a reputation for rampant xenophobia?

Also you're completely ignoring the fact that you blatantly and shamelessly exaggerated the facts. You sound like a supermarket tabloid whenever you talk about Tuchanka.

An examination of the records indicates that there have been attacks on Thessia's volunteers. The same is true on Palaven. The simple fact of the matter is that when you have several billion people on a planet with heavily damaged infrastructure, you're going to have criminals, and foreign volunteers tend to make easy targets.

Exactly dude, because criminals do suicide attacks all da time.

Funny I don't see the word 'suicide' in that article anywhere. Please Victus tell us how you come to the conclusion that this bombing was a suicide bombing. Share your wisdom.

I can testify the truth to this. Thessia may have the most anti xenophobic culture, but that didn't stop a few opportunistic raiders from being willing to kill for the sake of some secured eezo. I invested a lot of money in security (too much as it turned out) and I still got two shot up knees for my trouble.

Personally, I think that even if there was no volunteer program in place, on Tuchanka, Earth, etc, there still would be a great deal of violence from opportunistic bad guys. Civilization is still in the process of standing up after getting its ass kicked to pieces, and the parasites know that, and are savoring the opportunity to drain blood from what they can. From bandits to corrupt companies and officials, we were already due a lot of bastards raining on our parade. Now it's just matter of dealing with them as we get ourselves back up from the ground.

Whoosh.

Just, listen to it flying right past you. Beautiful sound.

True enough, though recruitment isn't just about holding onto your xenophobic members, but about convincing new people to buy into your agenda. Frankly, with the Citadel in orbirt, people on Earth are interacting with aliens more than ever before. So it's a harder to keep the old xenophobic fires burning in new generations when they have first hand experience that proves a lot of what Terra Firma use to spout incorrect.


Wow, exactly right! That is completely what I wrote! Glad to see you understood completely and aren't exaggerating my words at all!

Yes, violence happens on Earth, as the incident in Chicago proves. It was a horrible tragedy enacted by xenophobic idiots. As I said in my previous post, that stuff still happens on Earth.

But what you are saying is that Earth is as bad as Tuchanka for crimes against alien volunteers, and, frankly, that's idiotic. There is a reason why the news about the salarians who were murder was considered "breaking news" and why it came as such a shock, because incidents like that are isolated.

As far as wanting a specific example of where people have become more tolerate, take a look at Ireland. After the Big Blue Wave went off Ireland had geth all over the place working on brining farmland up to speed. The freaking geth. A lot of people were scared at first, but when your choices are get use to it or die people adapt rather quickly.

Or what about the busted out turian frigate the landed in order to provide emergency power to London (I'm pretty sure it was London, I could be mistaken about that one though)? Don't tell me people were grateful for that, that such an act didn't change a few minds about the turians.

Look, Earth has a lot of problems that are going to take centuries to work out, but a xenophobic cesspit it is not.

No I'm pretty sure it was considered breaking news because it had just happened. That's what breaking news means. People in that article seemed more disgusted than shocked. In fact the reactions were very similar to the reactions to the Tuchanka articles.

And do tell me, if Earth is such a bastion of tolerance then why does it have a reputation as a xenophobic cesspit? Because unless everyone is out on a smear campaign against Earth there is probably a good reason for it. Like maybe Earth is a xenophobic cesspit.

Yeah, no thanks. I have no intreset in getting in an extranet pissing contest with you. You want to believe Earth is a pool of unmitigated misery and backwards xenophobic hatred, feel free.

Do you know what's even funnier? Neither do I now. AAGH!

What do they put in the food in this place!?

Will do.


Whatever it is, not enough.

It's high time we fight back against the fools that take up guns against the aid workers here. Urdnot has the right plan.
Follow it or get left behind in the dust, I say. We Krogan need to look forward, not fall into petty pissing matches and violence.

Its only the minority of krogans that are actually causing this sort of shit. Anyone who even says that we aliens should all go fuck off and die in these camps tend to get a headbutt or two. Hell, it's kind of surprising that the guys who did this aren't caught yet; whelps like that tend to shout their opinions from the mountaintops, but I guess they just got smart now.

My impression is that investigating is something rather new for the krogans, who are used to open warfare. Now they have to find the snakes in their midst, and it's a whole new challenge. One I hope they'll meet soon.

Violence and hatred breed where there is chaos and social fragmentation. Earth is no different than many major worlds in that regard and it's honestly not as bad as its made out to be. I for one am glad of alien volunteers-they are invaluable in their knowledge and they come without a price tag.

On that note, anyone who kills aliens is a bloody idiot.

Matter-of-factly: Apparently, the elcor volunteers working on Earth have had very few problems.

Slyly: Whether that's because Earthers are grateful and friendly or simply afraid to take on someone who can casually fold them in half and launch them across the street, I wouldn't know.
