[Crime] Tayseri Drug Lord “Lady” T’Pasi Found Dead

The Tayseri Times

CITADEL, LOCAL CLUSTER - A grisly discovery awaited C-Sec officers today as the bodies of notorious and elusive drug dealer Avala “Lady” T’Pasi and two men believed to be her top lieutenants, a Mr. Johann Ahlberg and Mr. Caius Avita, were recovered in the districts of Iacto, Sioc, and Roi respectively. The deceased had been shot execution style; the bodies mutilated post mortem and publicly displayed. A brutal and shocking crime, even by the standards of the more dangerous Lower districts, and one more that would appear to have more in common with Omegan gangsters than the average Tayseri criminal.

Unfortunately, that appears to be precisely the issue.

“What we’ve seen over the last couple months has been a marked decline in random, violent crime. Things like muggings, robberies, rapes, and homicides have decreased by nearly eighteen percent with most of the drop being concentrated down Ward.” Sergeant Hasa of Lower Zakera’s Precinct 33 explained.

“Now ordinarily this would be a great thing if it was C-Sec doing it. Instead what’s happening is that, while these statistics have been declining, the incidence of drug charges, prostitution, unlicensed firearms, untaxed imports, and missing persons cases have been spiking across the board. And while random violent crimes have been decreasing, things like what happened to Ms. T’Pasi are becoming more and more common. Taken together this really can only mean one thing: we have organized groups moving into the Lower Wards and they’re expanding. ”

Despite holding the distinction of one of the most secure locations in the galaxy, defended by a force composed of some of the Council’s best and brightest, the Citadel is no stranger to criminal enterprises, and said force is still recovering from the heavy losses sustained during the Reaper War, both during the attempted coup by the human extremist group Cerberus and at the hands of the Reapers themselves in the final days of the War.

“It’s just a mess,” added the Sergeant, “we have career criminals who fled Omega when it fell to Cerberus, Terminus elements who just showed up and never left during the war, war criminals and mercenaries who are between jobs because the bigger companies are crowding them out. Throw in a bunch of old and well established groups like The Light that Dwells within the Depths or the Brother’s Circle moving to take advantage of the power vacuum left by the War and new players like Trinity or the Bloody Hands hungry for a piece of the action? Everything south of Midward is just a powderkeg waiting to happen.”

Tayseri Ward Councilman Massos Veleen had this to say on the situation. “What they have here is the perfect breeding ground: a significantly weakened security force, a station still under repair, and a vast pool of potential recruits to draw from in the form of refugees. To properly address the issue we must first address the root causes and this, I fear, will be a long and arduous task with no easy outcome. ”

Oh. Lovely.

Granted, the Citadel wasn't exactly perfectly safe to begin with, even before the war, but now we have a 'Little Omega' community. Spirits.

On the bright side, I could imagine C-Sec wouldn't have too difficult of a time removing such elements if need be. I highly doubt the Citadel, even with current issues as they are, would allow things to get too out of control.

Hard to believe she's actually dead; my old squad raided one of her alleged safehouses but she'd banged out a couple steps ahead of us. Same thing happened every time we tried to snatch her.

Can't say I much envy the SR troopers responsible for that precinct. They're gonna have their hands full soon as Enforcement decides they need help.

A terrible state of affairs, but perhaps the media scrutiny from this latest violence might prompt some worthwhile action. From a personal point of view, I can't believe how long it's taking to get an agreement on reinstating the Sapphire Alliance accords - with the lengthy and costly hurdles making it difficult to get licensed under the current system, it's no wonder organised crime is having such an easy time luring desperate low-income workers. Quite aside from the health and safety benefits of restoring proper, streamlined regulation, I'm sure C-Sec would find it quite handy to have such a lucrative income stream for their criminal opponents shut down.

How unfortunate.

This one hopes that the continued troubles in Tayseri do not disturb this one's business opportunities.

They got Lady T'Pasi?

Huh. Wasn't expecting that.

Good luck to CSec. The Wards are getting a lit-le crowded with the gangs that have decided now's the time to move in with CSec worse for wear. They don't watch it, someone's gonna kill the wrong person and it'll get messy.

Any chance those lovely people won't mind us trying to steer the duct rats away from criminal life?

All of the lower wards? How widespread is this?

An established drug lord gets killed gangland style...and this is news?

Looks like I left just in time. Damn. Tayseri had started to feel like a nice place.

To anyone living on Tayseri, please report any suspicious activity to your nearest C-Sec precinct. And this is common sense more than anything, but do be sure to keep your residences secure, especially during night cycles.

Look on the bright side, you and Allie won't be the ones responsible for making sure the situation doesn't turn to complete cachu...

A drug lord on Tayseri? Cripes. Shame they couldn't have been brought in, pressure on them would have revealed more about the drug syndicates on the station.

I blame the cesspit we're orbiting.

Like I needed more reasons not to go outside.

Oh, I don't think that is entirely fair. This particular individual was an asari, at least.

See, this is why I just stick with Omega. At least here, you don't have to pretend that everything isn't shit.

Lol.

Bitch go fuck yourself, Omega's great.

And it looks like the Citadel's getting a bit better too. Who'd have thought?

On the one hand I'm not shedding any tears over dead criminals but on the other I can't help but to worry about the more extreme elements propping up...everywhere, really.

... ugh, looks like that fucked up serial killer again. I'm damn sure it's not him though, he ate his victims. And no, he wasn't krogan.

Good luck to everyone in C-Sec, if you're dealing with Omega-level organized crime you're going to need it.
