[BREAKING] Possible Terrorist Attack on Sur’Kesh Megalopolis

POSSIBLE TERRORIST ATTACK ON SUR'KESH MEGALOPOLIS

By Selleso Idrik

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.

Death toll is unknown. Number of wounded is unknown.



***UPDATE***

Individual believed to be responsible for the bombing of Tevishi Vael engaged elements at the quarantine line with an unknown device at 1210 local time. Device generated extreme heat, light, and lethally high levels of radiation during detonation. Civil defense units caught in blast zone around confirmed Killed In Action. Additional units are requiring medical evacuation and treatment for acute radiation poisoning and burns.

Bomber is believed to be traveling deeper into the city along the Faasi Expressway. Forward elements of Union military forces are moving to engage with air support.



***UPDATE***

Bomber created an Uvaso Class/Tier II nanotech event with secondary effects at 1220 local time when isolated and surrounded at K 32 of the Faasi Expressway. Heavy ordinance failed to breach defensive shell.

Military liaison has confirmed the destruction of two gunships and a Union infantry platoon but has refused to release unit designations. Debris created by the collapse of the Faasi Expressway has made kill confirmation impossible.



***UPDATE***

PRIORITY ONE ALERT

Second terrorist attack near the Jurim Sea. Agent believed to be operating in tandem with but separate from Tevishi Vael bomber.
Noltric Dynamics.headquarters has been destroyed by a Tier II self replicating Weapon of Mass Destruction. Localized Stage Two Alert has been upgraded to a Regional Stage Two/Localized Stage One. Full scale evacuation of Entish Megalopolis is in effect. Surrounding cities have been put on alert.

Weapon displays both rapid growth potential and secondary environmental effects, the most potent of with is an individually perpetuating incendiary reaction.



Noltric Dynamics headquarters has collapsed into the lower levels. Sinkhole is expanding across city block. Total death toll remains unknown.

Dalatrass Linron to address Union within the hour.

I can honestly say that doesn't look like any Reaper related specimen I've ever seen.

And a pissed off enemy is even more fun to crush heh heh heh.


Sounds good to me. If a bigger, meaner bastard springs up because of me then I can die happy knowing I helped add a little fun into this boring as fuck galaxy.


The other races got 'rules' in place because they are a bunch of fucking little pussies. squidfucks, frogs? Nothing but a bunch of cowardly shits that hide behind the furheads and shitscales, the ones with all the real firepower (and the shitscales know not to waste a weapon either, those fuckers are the only species besides krogan that believe in total fucking war). So fuck em. They needed us for the rachni, they needed us for the Reapers, and if the shitlords are still in power centuries from now (because the krogan race is full of pussies now) then they'll need us to fight back the flashlights and the yahg. Because this galaxy can't do shit without us.



CDN FROG KILL COUNT: 2(3 if that blue fucker got killed)

Damn shame. They are so much better raw.

What the Goddamn Fuck?
Who the hell is doing this?

The krogan here are representing a fine example as to why the genophage was inflicted on their species.

With that said, whoever was capable of creating a weapon such as this must have access to resources on the level of Cerberus, action must be swift and ruthless once they discover the perpetrator's identity.

Yeah. They ain't like other aliens like blinks that you have to cook to get that flavor out.

Pickled blink eyes taste pretty damn good though.

Judging a whole species by the words of a few. Disgusting.

Hrrrrrrrn.

Can't say I feel much empathy fer th' frogs right now, but ya'll ain't takin' th' long view. If this were krogan involved, there's gonna be reprisal. Mebbe th' rest of you dumb cunts done fergot what th' frogs can do when they're angry. This has th' potential of gettin' reeeeeal ugly fast.

I really don't think it's krogan. Do most krogan have access to nanotech WMDs? Not to say krogan are dumb in the least (met a krogan scientist, scary motherfucker though he was), but...y'know, nanomachines.

Y'kin buy ennythin with 'nuff money, 'tarian - or steal it fer cheaper.

God and Mary above. My prayers with the families of the lost, and may their Wheel spin to a better life.

As much as krogan might be the tempting perpetrators...I would hold more value to it being an inside act. It would explain why we have nothing on the attacker - it would be easier for him to blend in, and I imagine many media hounds would love to exploit the fragile politics between the salarians and any other race - particularly the krogans. Their silence on the issue is probably more telling than anything else.

And as much as Sur'Kesh would like to pretend they do not have such weapons... I am more willing to believe this to be an act of homeland terror than the STG letting an alien through their borders without the strictest of searches. Perhaps, though, that is more faith in their special operations than what is realistic, and I am merely reading too far into things.

To those worried about Mr. Spiza - I was under the impression he was in Lokso, which, if memory stands, is some distance from any megalopolis. It's possible they might have just blocked all access to communications buoys around Sur'Kesh for non-priority signals. Not unheard of during such events.

Finally someone who thinks with their head and not their crest!

Well, I've done it. I just sent a recorded message through to the clan back home. No idea when it's going to get through to them or if it'll get through to them, but I just thought I had to send something. I had to. It'll probably come back and bite me, and I probably should have had the drink afterwards, not before, but I couldn't just sit here and not get in touch, you know? None of them are anywhere near the... the area under attack, but it's times like these that you have to show your concern.

My condolences to those of you who have confirmed losses, and those of you still waiting.

The Union still stands, even in the face of such dire actions taken against us. I wish I was there to help contain this, but I know what our military can do. This will be contained, care will be given to the survivors, and those responsible will be taken care of.

***UPDATE***

No further events reported as of 1250 local time. Preliminary casualty lists are appended [here].

Press Conference has begun; live stream appended [here].

Dalatrass Linron and high ranking representatives of the Linron clan have stated that this “act of utter barbarity” will not go unaddressed. Praising the valor of first responders, military units, and civilians during the attack, the Dalatrass stated that “Today, two faces were shown: first, the face of our enemies, those who would seek to dissolve this Union and have proven themselves to be little better than rabid vermin. Without conscience, without morals, without empathy. And we have seen the face of the salarian people, who have shown their true heart, have shown this world, every world their cour@̵̗́#͏̰̫̬͘$̷̥̠̪̬̲̼f̴̛̼̻͉̹͖̜̦̣s̷̗̙d̵̜͞ͅH̳̥̘̰͚̲́T̷̛̫̲͙͚̭̫E̵͈̻̥͈͉͇̼͢R̵̗̹̮̼͙̭͘͟K̢̪̳̩͟*̨̭͖͕̲̞̜ͅT̷̟̺͙̦͙͓̜̮Ú̻̘̘̬̦̳͢)̧̲̱͙̩&͓̰͕̦̪̕@̨̪̫̥̭̪͍





Hello, galaxy.

By now you have all no doubt seen the news, seen what we have done. You have also no doubt condemned us, decried our crimes.

And we are criminals, for this glorious Union of ours allows us to be nothing else. It is a machine that grinds away opposition, resists change, is a decaying temple to a bygone era that our leaders would see crumble into oblivion than be taken from them.

We live in cruel, times and so our tools must be cruel. We must be cruel if we are to be kind. These are our demands: the Linron administration will step down. The Special Tasks Group will submit itself to public audit. Legislation, formally or informally, barring or otherwise restricting the access of males to public office or political positions, will be dissolved.

For every week that our demands are not met, we will destroy another city. The tragedy of Entish will repeat itself again and again and again until you yield. This is non-negotiable. This is not open to discussion. If the sins of our nation can only be cleansed through blood, then believe us, there will be blood.

The clock is ticking.

We will be watching.

Choose wisely.

What the actual fuck.

I certainly hope the Union negotiates with terrorists...

Ooooooooooh, shit. Terrorist salarians.

You just supplied your own answer.

Are you fucking kidding me?!

Salaricerbies?! Seriously?!

This is bad. This is bad, this is bad, this is bad.

oooooh fuck. fuck fuck fuck fuckity fuck fuck.

Just what the galaxy needs salarian terrorists
