  • "Hey chummer, some runners hit a Knight Errant TacSquad doing prisoner transport. Very clean, just left a Hellhound on the side of the road with a chess rook spray on it and the dead bodies inside. What kind of money does it take to break a 'Weener out with extreme prejudice?" - Rating 2, 03/07/82, Auburn Origins
  • "Seattle KE is reporting that a unknown ork intruder assaulted several guests at the Westin Hotel in the afternoon on the 14th of March. The assailant was reported to be wearing a blue hoodie and to be quote "rather small for an ork." KE is offering a reward of 1,500 nuyen for actionable information leading to his capture."

  • "Crimson Kabuto's last crackdown on Redmond made waves. Not as many as the story of a team of runners who risked it all to lead a mass exodus of vulnerable children out of the line of fire. Their bold leader was the same madman who broke out the Knight of Halloween; who is the Rook?" - Rating 3, 03/25/82, Cake
  • "A Tacoma warehouse went down in a blaze yesterday; eyewitnesses rescued from the building by a daring special operations team report that it was being used as a center for the Yakuza’s Seattle based drug distribution chain. The cause of the blaze was likely the special operations team, reported to be using exotic magics by the witnesses." - Rating 3, 05/17/82, Seattle Evening News
  • "A Corporal Sanchez, otherwise referred to as 'The Boss' within the Redmond area has begun to put out feelers for information as to the 'brave souls' that dared to attack a small rather well equipped Gang referred to as 'the Banangers'. People who had any information on the hit were encouraged to come forth with a reward in the form of discounts from their rather high class area or monetary payments. Security has improved around the club in question, as it is as much for the protection of the crew as it is for those who come in to relax." - Rating 4, 05/24/82, Bargain Basement.
  • "Shen Hu, a reclusive businessman with rumored Triad connections was assassinated on the side of the I5 highway this evening in an explosive battle. Does this mean Knight Errant is unable to prevent gang wars even in the most carefully guarded districts? Sources tell us Hu was attempting to purchase the Crystalline Castle, apparently a gem cut in the classical shape of a chess rook and enchanted as a magical focus." - Rating 3, 05/23/82, Seattle Evening News
  • “Basnet Chodak, student of the previous Dalai Lama, and his personal students has been found dead in the Aztechnology Pyramid mall on the 23rd. Shots and grenade explosions were reported fired, as well as camera footage of a security drone for the mall opening fire on Chodak’s students. Investigation of the scene has been proven difficult due to contamination of the crime scene both astrally and biologically, as a riot took place in the mall that lasted for the entire day moments after the Buddhists’ death. Civilian sources state that security personnel from Aztechnology had fired into crowds. Aztechnology has firmly denied such claims, stating that any shots being fired were after a black hooded figure, a woman in full body armor, and an androgynous figure in garb fit for a theatre play. After the riot was quelled, many detained individuals stated that they are innocent despite being shown violently attacking other mall goers as if compelled into some kind of homicidal rage.” - Rating 5, 5/25/82, Seattle Evening News.
  • "There’s a fire happening over at Gallery 72. Apparently some troll broke in early in the morning before it opened up and started burning every painting in a new display over in the gallery. Crazy thing? Flames weren’t going out until they went out on their own, and they didn’t spread throughout the gallery. Legit, fire extinguishers and water didn’t do jack. The troll was apparently some artist. Maybe he was mad about the state of art nowadays?"- Downtown street news Rating 2, 6/1/82
  • “Word on the street is that someone is trying to start a rematch with the Ancients and the Weeners. Couple of punks dressed in Weener colors geeked Bushido Blitz at his birthday, but left their jacket as a warning in the wreckage, as well as burning the place to the ground. Problem is, least I heard, that the leaders know it’s a trap. No Weener would leave their jacket behind unless it was their body lying on the cold floor in it. They’re crazy, but they got respect to their name. Some people say Nuckelavee’s been behind it, but don’t say that to her face if you ever are unfortunate enough to cross her. Crazy fanger claims she doesn’t know anything about it, and, I quote, ‘Am gonna find the drekhead using my name to start stuff. I got a rep to uphold, and they’re making me look like an amateur.’ Course, she don’t seem mad about the little bloodbath that’s brewing. Whoever’s behind it better watch their backs though. Wouldn’t want to be on a list shared by both Nightmare and Belial.” Pullyup Barrens, Rating 3, 6/6/82
  • "The sound of gunfire, a huge bullet hole and a thunderous noise just outside this luxurious Bellevue apartment building! Those were the reports given to KE officials on the scene of a freak crime. Security Company Officer, Chang Wu, was assassinated, in his home; he was shot through the wall by what seems to be a high caliber rifle. His bodyguards were unhurt. KE was alerted by neighbors to the happening, but they got there too late, the culprits were already gone when they arrived. In the apartment, KE found incriminating evidence of Chang Wu's embezzlement of his own company. More about this, at 12." - Seattle Morning news, Rating 3, 09/06/2082
  • The Angels of Mercy church and all of its goers thank the pirate crew for helping it put a spirit at ease and gain a new local guardian. They will always be welcome at Sunday Mass and any other time they wish to pop in. As long as they promise to not explode the graveyard and church, anyways.

  • Rumors fly across Seattle as reports come in of a terrorist attack on MCT Headquarters in downtown occurring. Insider sources claim a heavily armored centaur attacked innocent bystanders, and murdered security forces attempting to defend the civilians. Additionally, eyewitness reports claim a van sped away from the scene of the crime. A longtime viewer has submitted footage of someone being taken from the van and seemingly drowned in the Puget Sound minutes after this attack. Eyewitnesses and GridGuide show that this van was pursued by MCT private security and apprehended after an extended shootout, where the fugitives attempted to use more civilians as living shields.

A 75,000 nuyen reward is currently being offered by MCT for anyone who can provide additional information on these terrorists, or their acquaintances. 6/9/2082, Team Neo-Grenade, Rating 5

  • "I was snooping around some Russian datahavens for fun and stumbled across some grisly footage of some guys getting executed. <* Embed video. The audio is distorted and the executioners have been censored out with pixelization. There is an audible "Fuck these corpos." in Or'zet. *>

-- Shark_Byte I think that's in Glow City. Probably just some gang war in Seattle. Sadly, someone did a respectable job at censoring out the people that did the job. -- JudgeDead Multiple target chainsaw beheading. Just brutal. Mad props to whoever it is. -- Matrix_Historian" Matrix BBC, 06/21/82, rating 2.

  • "A night of mysteries in Seattle is upon us today, Karen. It sure it! In the location of a bad car crash, some eye witnesses and people in traffic claim that they saw, and I'm serious here, Sammie - a flying truck helicoper flying right over the KE roadblock. Indeed. And that's not all, just a few ten-odd kilometers away, a baby carriage was lifted through the air and safely delivered to its mother. Can you believe this?

I believe that people need to cut down on the booze, Sammie. In any case, in the next segment... " - Seattle Afternoon News, 06/29/82, Rating 1.

  • Mr Ming Wu, a local businessman and pillar of the community, was ruthlessly killed in an attack on his way home last night on highway 405. Police reports say that an explosion tore up the car he was in, causing it to crash into the middle divider. Mr Wu was then beheaded by some individuals while the employees he was traveling with were knocked out and left unconscious on the road.

  • Man, did you all see that explosion at Christopher market? Shit was on fire! And then some crazy dudes were fighting and the troll even got their head cut off! What the hell was that all about guys!?!? People crying about their stalls getting caught right now, we gotta do a fundraiser or something to help! - Word of mouth around Renton, rating 2. 6/22/2082
