Entish, ANNOS BASIN - Orbital arrays and planetary sensor nets have confirmed the mass deployment of military grade weaponry in the Tevishi Vael Spaceport at 1145 local time. Eyewitness accounts and station contacts indicate that the superstructure of the central terminal has been critically damaged and is in the processing of collapsing.

Evacuations of the rest of Tevishi Vael is ongoing, all liners have been grounded and special response units are being deployed on the scene. All flights have been redirected to nearby Rukyo and Spire Eighteen ports. Death toll is unknown. The number of wounded is also as of yet unknown but projected to be extensive given the event occurred at the height of the port’s rush hour traffic.

Union military detachments have been scrambled to the city and are expected to be arriving within the next several hours to assist in the establishment of a quarantine line around the port and reinforce civil defense units.

More on the situation as it develops.



***UPDATE***

Secondary detonations around Tevishi Vael at 1200 local time, believed to be some form of resonance based demolitions technology. Ewasi Grove, Little Disan, Heavenly Clutch, Osoli Osol, and Primary Southwest arcologies have sustained critical damage. Secondary collapses have inflicted severe damage to the structural integrity of neighboring buildings.

Quarantine line has been breached. First Union military units are disembarking. Stage Three Alert has been upgraded to a localized Stage Two, full scale evacuation of Southern Entish is now in effect.

Additional units are requiring medical evacuation and treatment for acute radiation poisoning and burns.

DALATRASS LINRON ADDRESSES UNION

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. They're doing major evacuations in the city, right? He's probably in the process of moving somewhere.

After discussion with the other mods and the Cerberus Daily VI, we have decided to keep the pictures up in the interest of freedom of speech. However, if the use of memetics or other images devolves into, say, trying to post attack programs on my beautiful little board, we will rethink this policy and change it accordingly.

We know this is a tragic time for a great many of you and that tensions are high. We also know that there are those in this community who have a great deal of repressed anger towards the salarians for the genophage. For now, continue airing your grievances if you feel it is necessary - but know that we will not allow this board to become an attack vector for salarian/krogan virus wars.

Hear that?

The law is on my side heh heh heh

No, I'm on my side. Don't push it, krogan.

I hope so. I really, really hope so. Haven't heard from him in a year. I don't want our last conversation to have been about clawball finals.

Man, fuck the police. I-




how do you hold a discussion with a VI

the fuck are you people up to?

This is probably the biggest since Cerberus' coup on the Citadel.
I don't know much more than most here but I am fairly sure this is a terror attack, it's inner salarian but I have no idea who or what. At least all my clan is safe, elsewhere. It took me hours to get a shortburst exchange through.

later shitbirds

Dude, not cool.

Mods, requesting permission to open fire.

Fixed.

Holy shit it's a warzone down there.

Warzone in the Salarian Union that STG failed to see coming.

You guys are getting sloppy.

If it really is an AI, then it is the most perfect torture I could ever devise. Good job.

It's like 1785 all over again. How cute.

YES

KILL EM ALL!

oh holy fucking shit what the hell

What, like... a nuke?

A fucking nuke?

...Plasma? doesn't quite fit, though.

So let me get this straight: the bomber had a dirty bomb strapped to his vest and he detonated it, only to run away and go blow up more shit while guards succumbed to radiation poisoning?

What the flying fuck is that?

I think there's one species that we know can manage something like that.

If I didn't tell you yet, don't bother come to Tuchanka. We'll strip your clan name and toss you to Kalros.
