It's my sad duty to report a disturbing find in the Omni outpost in Stret West Bank south of the temple/parade ground.
The outpost appears to have been the site of a grisly massacre sometime in the recent past. Arriving on "business" [cough] and expecting to exchange only the usual pleasantries with the guard (and what a lonely job that is) I was dismayed to find the area strewn with bodies and garbage. Worse, in the assault course training area towards the rear of the base I found a large bonfire in which a number of corpses appeared to have been incinerated.
This does not appear to have been the work of Omni Tek. The lone opifex guard was wandering around some distance from his usual post and seemed shell shocked by the whole thing. Certainly he was unable to formulate a clear answer to any of my questions. "I don't understand..." was all he managed, over and over. Whoever occupied the site left a number of tents and makeshift shelters around the site, which is not standard OT practice.
However, I found no hint of Clan iconography on any of the evidence left behind by the perpetrators and I know of no neutral organisation with the means or the motive to carry out something like this.
Several of the fires were still burning, indicating that the massacre was recent. Many of the burnt corpses appeared to be Atrox.
Could this be in some way connected to the change of guard force in Newland?
