General

  • Violent incidents have occurred around the city.
  • A number of violent youths organize, injured, destroy or maim.
  • They leave a calling card: A coloured symbol, and a word.
  • The words have all, so far, been the names of anarchist organizers on Earth.
  • Here is the running synopsis of them:

Synopsis

Graffiti at the site is still clearly visible despite prompt application of a solvent: the word "Proudhon" in a large blue circle. Police chief Eoin Morgan commented on the case, "Mr. Drake was extremely lucky not to be more seriously hurt. ... We wish to assure members of the public that we will bring the culprits to justice. Precautions are being instituted to ensure this remains an isolated incident."


Vandalism Continues

There were further acts of vandalism in the Artists' Quarter Tuesday night, with two trees uprooted in Euler's Disc. The word "Stirner" was sprayed onto the bark of one of the trees, along with a green zig-zagged line, similar to a lightning bolt. The police have assured the public they are treating the matter extremely seriously. (Full text)

The building immediately summoned the fire brigade, who were able to bring the blaze under control, though the damage is expected to run to tens of thousands of lecks. Inside the charred interior, two white horizontal chalk marks could be seen, with the word "Warren" was scrawled between. (Full text)
