Perit Bonnon Murdered!
August 11, 29480 - [Global]
OTPC - On the weekend of July 22, a terrible crime was committed. Perit Bonnon was murdered on the streets of Borealis after escaping from a camp of thugs. Their name: The Dreadtrox.
It took this reporter a while to find the relevant data. Apparently the crime was so horrible that most witnesses went into hiding after the incident. From what I can gather, Mr. Bonnon escaped from an encampment of these thugs, where they were forcing him to administer a experimental drug designed to assist in removing stim addiction. He immediately contacted his wife, and asked her to meet him in Borealis.
I managed to track down one witness, who wishes to remain anonymous, that mentioned, "Perit showed up in a panic, and quickly explained to his wife what happened." The witness went on to say, "He mentioned that these thugs calling themselves the Dreadtrox Gang took him to a camp somewhere outside Borealis and that they forced him to help them."
The response to Bonnon's statements were that of hate and anger. One citizen by the name of Essenmich wanted to round up a group and hunt them down. "Let's kill them," he said.
A few minutes after Perit got his story out, a group of these Dreadtrox showed up and started taunting the man. "They spoke very poorly and taunted the scientist. Saying things like, where did you think you were going?"
"They seemed to quickly get bored with his resistance and they suddenly started beating him. At first they were doing it just to play around but their attacks became more violent." relayed the terrified witness.
After Bonnon died, "the group of thugs looked at his wife and taunted her to run away, which she did."
As far as I can tell Mrs. Bonnon escaped, but I have not been able to track her down for an interview. Reports are that Perit was too elderly for reclaim. It is assumed that his spirit is lost.
