Director Moscardelli’s Statement on Recent Terrorist Attack on Omni-Mining
I am sure by now you all know of the barbaric attack that occurred on September 3 during the Notum Day event. For those who have not or those seeking more detailed information I am now releasing some information from the investigation.
At around 16:30 on Saturday I stepped up in front of my office to give a speech to honor the event and state why it is important to support notum mining and research. Due to the large crowds moving about towards the office, security lost sight of some NLF members. When my speech was about 60% complete, an unauthorized access to the local City Systems Consol was announced by the Omni-Mining Computer System. This alerted security to investigate but it seems it was already too late. The access into the City systems allowed some vital security systems to shut down momentarily giving the NLF time to drop and activate a small bomb. About a minute after the unauthorized access into the city consol the bomb exploded at the foundation of the local Skybar. The explosion was powerful enough to completely destroy the foundation of the Skybar causing it to collapse. At this point I was warped out by my security forces. Immediate evacuation of the city was called as an alert was issued to Omni-Tek Faction Leaders. The ECM Tower was damaged and shut down after the bombing. The explosion got the aliens attention and they sent in an offensive force into the city area. After assistance from fellow Omni-Tek citizens, we were able to push back the aliens and retake the city.
Damage is quite extensive in the southern section of the city. The blast caused the Skybar to break apart and collapse as I said. The top half of the Skybar fell onto the ECM Tower across the street damaging it beyond repair. Large sections of debris from the Skybar also fell onto the Market, damaging the roof and southern side. After the blast, fires broke out all over the southern section of the city. During the alien attack, an alien transport was damaged and crash landed partially on the East side of the Market causing further damage to the market. Disaster Response crews were able to contain the fires and rescue some trapped citizens. Thankfully, no permanent deaths were reported. But 8 people were sent to the reclaim from the blast. Another 24 people with injuries have been reported so far.
After surveying the area for a few days we have come up with an estimate of 31,095,000 Credits in damage. Some expect this number will increase as we examine the structures in more detail.
This terrorist attack by The Nanomage Liberation Front is a horrific, barbaric and irrational crime of the highest degree. They have proven their insanity knows no bounds. This attack was uncalled for, no matter what beliefs one has. The Nanomage Liberation Front used Omni-Tek’s generous hospitality for their own twisted evil plans. It is time we put a stop to these plans. The NLF must be dealt with once and for all! I urge all sane and fact loving people to cease any ties with the NLF. It is time we bring justice to them for the crimes they have committed in the past two years. No more should these lunatics be allowed to walk the streets of Rubi-Ka. The only success they had on Saturday was starting their own demise.
I request any information useful to capturing The Nanomage Liberation Front members. In return for information you will be rewarded. Your name and contact information will remain anonymous. If the information turns out to be useful I am willing to give a million or more credits as a reward.
Besides the terrorist attack on Saturday, Notum Day continued and proved to be a great party. Unfortunately the city in southern Clon**** is closed to public travel until the investigations and clean up is complete. Estimates say the clean up will take two weeks or more.
Once again I thank all for assisting us after the attack on the city. It is sad one can not have fun without attempted murder anymore. But alias we must move forward and bring justice to the NLF. In the meantime I will be conducting some investigations into the attack and how it could have been prevented. If you would like to help in the clean up effort, investigations or reconstruction please send a message to me using the AO forums PM system.
Farewell to all and be safe.
