A Clan Response
May 9th 29479 - By Malogar
FJRK - On the evening of May 7, Boss Ross was shot down by a sniper. Chaos and concern followed among the Omni-Tek employees, but what happened among the clans?
Is he dead? Is it a hoax? Is he wounded? A lot of questions, and all valid, but due to the lack of any real information, many people are not sure what to believe. With the help of my sources I hope to shed some light on the subject.
Our informants say it is not a hoax, and yes, Boss Ross was shot. No, he is not dead (according to Omni-Med), but did receive a critical wound in the chest. Currently he is locked away under heavy security (or so one would assume) within Omni-Med HQ in Rome, under the care of Omni-Med CEO, Rita Prestin.
Rumours have it that the old hack Prestin performed the surgery herself, but this has not been confirmed. Another rumour is that she made a statement a few hours after the attack, which left Omni-1 in a state of chaos, as hundreds of guards were commanded on the streets, including Omni-AF and Omni-Pol troops. They patrolled the area, asking their own employees for identification and questions about what they had seen and heard.
Many people have since asked, despite of affiliation, how this could happen. Well, it was Omni-Pol guards who were in charge of the security, so it would have to be their fault, and I am sure that Omni-Reform will have a field day if it proves an inside job. The big question, however, is who did it? No one knows yet, but there are some theories, involving the Dust Brigade, the ICC, Sol Banking, Omni-Prime, rogue clans, but no one knows for sure. Of course, the Omni’s will blame us, as always.
I spoke to a few Clan members of the community, on what they think Omni’s reaction would be and this was their response.
Ragunn: Too early to say, seeing there's no word of who did it. If it is a clanner - or they tell us it was a clanner -, then we'll see the war flare up again. If it was a disgruntled Omni-Pol officer, then I suspect Omni-Reform's going to have a nice time.
Vixentrox: Whatever OT releases is going to be viewed with su****ion by the Clans no doubt
If Ross dies, how does this concern us in the north? To be frank, if Ross does die from his wounds, then Omni-Tek will have to find a new CEO, one that might be put forth with a new agenda. Wipe us out.
Here, a few more statements from some clan members.
Fixerben: I'd like to express to everyone that I hope Mr. Ross recovers quickly from this attempt on his life, and gets back to the political table soon.
Ragunn: I don't hope for anyone to die. I will, however, say that we won't mourn his passing if he does die. Like I said - he's just one more casualty. . It doesn't matter if Ross survives or not. The fight against Omni-Tek will go on.
Vixentrox: Better the devil we know than the one we don't......and, since I think this was Omni vs Omni, Ross staying alive messes up their plans
So there you have the opinion of a few clans, but we all know there are a lot more opinions than this. Many have spoken out on the grid feed. Some have kept their opinions to themselves.. We will have to wait for Omni-Tek to release more information ….unless they just begin shooting at us…as they usually do.
