Smuggler on the Run
February 22, 29480 - Alossa Laurence, Newland News [Rimor]
IRRK Freelance - Newland City, Newland - Rubi-Ka is a capricious mistress. She feeds us and provides shelter but she also puts us through numerous trials. She also likes to surprise us when we least expect it. However, surprise must have been one of the less violent feelings of a woman called "Zhere" Vryst when she appeared in front of the Newland prison gates.
According to the witnesses Ms Vryst appeared out of thin air next to a prison guard called Xuuh. All evidence points to the grid malfunction as the reason for her sudden arrival. When she realized where she was she started running which brought the guard's attention. He scanned her and discovered traces of illegal substances in her possession. The guard reported to minister Grey who offered reward for the smuggler's captor. That was the moment when the hunt began.
Over a dozen Newland citizens as well as clanspeople and Omni-Tek employees began searching the whole area for the unfortunate criminal. The hunt lasted for about forty minutes. Every corner of Newland city and the surrounding Newland area was searched, to no avail at first.
Finally, an agent called Eve "Evereane" spotted the smuggler hiding under the debris of a crashed starship and brought her back to Newland. She has been rewarded by the minister for her success. The unlucky "Zhere" Vryst was escorted to prison by Xuuh.
Sometimes fate can surprise us with an unexpected turn of events. A supposed grid malfunction helped bring a criminal to justice. Let's hope this is just the first of many successes in lowering the crime rate in our city.
