[Tuchanka] Relief Volunteers Murdered

Relief Volunteers Murdered

Aver Safe Grounds, Maw’s Reach, TUCHANKA - Two relief workers were found murdered yesterday in an escalation of the attacks on volunteers on Tuchanka. Tuchanka Times has previously reported several attacks on alien volunteer organizations, but there were no deaths until now.

The victims were largely unidentifiable due to the extent of damage to the bodies, but authorities can confirm that they were turians from a Hierarchy-sanctioned volunteer group. The bodies were found just outside the Aver Safe Grounds, a neutral zone established in Maw’s Reach. The region, despite its name, is reportedly safer than other provinces for aliens.

Like other victims of the attacks, the corpses were found with a datapad on one of the victims. Authorities have chosen to withhold the information on the note, though previous attacks have included threats of further attacks and a demand for alien influences to leave Tuchanka.

“I can understand the mindset of the attackers,” Urakk Aaera, Clan Mother of Aver said of the attacks. “Our people are a strong and proud species. We have survived the Rachni Wars, our rebellion, the Genophage. We have not needed alien assistance before to survive, why should we now with the Genophage cured? But the difference between these attackers and us is that we are strong enough to admit that we need help in these times.”

Relief efforts have been firmly established in Tuchanka since the war, assisting in everything from large efforts such as agriculture, reconstruction, research and development, to day-to-day life, such as child care and medical assistance. Some sources in the Krogan Clan Leaders have admitted that volunteer groups are now vital to Tuchanka’s recovery. “We can’t lose these aliens or their help, not yet.” One anonymous source stated. “If we do, Tuchanka’s hope is lost. Or at the least, very distant from us. We’ve spent too long destroying that we forgot how to build.”

Citadel News Net has contacted several governments that sanctioned the various efforts, but as of this posting, none have commented.

[UPDATE]
A comment from the Salarian Union from Dalatrass Alera: “These krogan have proven that they are no better than the Yahg. With any luck, the Salarian Union will pull all our efforts in the Krogan’s soon-to-be-again DMZ. I would advise all other committees to follow our example.”

[UPDATE]
A representative from the Systems Alliance, Cpt. James Marshall, has this to say of the article and of Dalatrass Alera’s comments: “We of the System’s Alliance have no interest in turning our backs on people who need our help just because of the actions of an extremist group, and we have no interest in following the Dalatrass’ example, which is clearly rooted from previous grudges against the Krogan people. The war has taught us that we all need to stand together, even in the face of adversity, and there is no species in the galaxy yet that is ready to stand on its own. We are all rebuilding still, and we all need to stick together and let the past go.”

[UPDATE]
A representative from the Turian Hierarchy sent a short message after our latest update. “What he said. Now let’s get back to work.”

Yeah, what are you again?

Good luck!

You won't see any of those dumb whelps over here in North Kelphic Valley but should you for some weird reason do, tell the police. We'll set them straight.

Even a crestless retard should see that being stuck on the desert an' having Kalros on your sorry ass is a good time to suck it up and accept help. Dyin' won't help anyone but the beasts.

^ That was a metaphor, not literal stuck in and havin' mother of all thresher maws situation.
