Clanners run amok in Newland City!
(RK2)
Last night Newland City and its residents was the victim of a brutal and murderous assault by crazed clanners belonging to the Dust Brigade. I saw it at all first hand - in fact, I got shot while going about my own business in my own home town! While conducting a bit of personal banking business near the Newland prison, a group of armored thugs suddenly arrived on the scene. Right away, they began yelling "Dust to Dust!" pulled out weapons and began firing blindly at every(neutral)one in the area and shooting up apartments and businesses.
They junked my robot!
It was only with great effort, and considerable loss of life, that the killers were stopped. This would be bad enough, but there is a further twist. You see, I had just returned to Newland from Athens - VIA RECLAIM. How did this happen? I had been visiting West Athens on some business for an associate, and upon conclusion of that business, I re-entered Athens and began to make my way to the whompa to return home. I hadn't made it more than 10 meters inside the city gates when a clan thug and - if you can believe this - a clan DOCTOR pull out their weapons and start shooting at me. I start to defend myself, as is my *right*, and set my robot on them, when all of the sudden, the "elite" clanner guards, who are supposed to be keeping the peace but just casually watched the unprovoked attack on my person, take aim at me the moment it looks like I am going to fend off my assailants. Next thing you know, I am laying dazed and stunned near the Reclaim terminal in Newland. And then the clans bring their violence to our own city.
It always seemed to me that the clanners were rather lawless and chaotic but this... this is unprecedented! It is clear just who is the menace to good order and peaceful life on Rubi-Ka - the clans! I can no longer stay neutral in this - the clans MUST be brought to heel.
I sent in my application to join Omni-Tek today.
(/OOC actually, in a few levels when I can grid to Omni ;) )
