Tiger missing

The travelling circus “Cirque du Ponambre”, which passed the Paragon area last week, have reported that one of their tigers has gone missing. Investigators are baffled how the tiger could have gone missing, no signs of a break out or in. There were no paw prints despite the heavy rainfall two night before the disappearance making the mud perfect for recovering prints.

The “Cirque du Ponambre” was performing with great success just outside Paragon between Christmas and New Years. Even despite the Carnival of Shadows and the Cirque de la Lune making a surprise appearance one night that shocked several of the audience.

One of the caretakers has mentioned that the Siberian Tiger in question “Koshka” started to act a little weird not long after they moved on again, and made mention he wouldn’t be surprised if it turned out that either of the ‘rivalling circuses’ had done something to their prized tiger.

Although “Koshka” is a somewhat domesticated tiger, she remains a tiger and there fore a dangerous animal. Experts say the chances are extremely slim, but should you see the tiger do not approach, instead call PPD.

The rebuilding continues

As the rebuilding of the city continues, people rarely stop to celebrate the restoration of old buildings. But not today. Today at 10am, the Arturian Library was reopened by none other than the Grav Mistress.

There was a small ceremony where the Mayor gave a speech about the importance of the rebuilding project and thanked people like Mrs Rolando of ZorTel Enterprises, Mr Drake of Drake Enterprises, Countess Crey of Crey Biotech and Mr Van Steenbergen of Janssen and Bakker Incorporated for their support.

Then it was time for the Grav Mistress to take the stage, and she did so surprising many fans by appearing not in her usual pink costume, but in a new crimson red and golden costume. Grav’s speech was as she said with a smile “short and sweet”: “I spent many hours studying in this very library before the war. It gives me great pleasure to be able to open her up to the world again.” and with that she cut the ribbon to the sound of applause.

During these rare moments we of the press get to ask questions, The Grav Mistress commented that the new costume was designed and made by her good friend Eloise Smith of Ellie’s boutique. Unfortunately any further questions were brought to a sudden close when a group of robed men rounded a corner and drew their weapons.

This invasion by the Circle of Thorns was stopped short by the Grav Mistress herself and several of the onsite security personnel. Luckily no one was hurt in the altercation and the CoT were transported to the Zigursky Penitentiary.

Unfortunately, this was not the first time the CoT paid a visit to this library. Indeed, the entire reconstruction was delayed several months due to apparently random attacks by not only the CoT but also Skull vandalisms and Clockwork scavenging of the tools. Were it not due to the combined effort by many of this city’s heroes patrolling the streets to make them safer the restoration might still be underway. But now these halls of learning are now finally open once again to the public.

Galaxy Hospital Mystery!

Last night Doctors claimed to have lost 3 hours of time during the normally quiet nightshift. Lives were lost as doctors in surgery found patients 2 hours dead despite having been delivered to surgery only moments previously.

Several patients were missing including young hero PigmyStar (13) who was in visiting his grandfather and Rogue Isles War-Dealer, TimeKeeper (age unknown). Half the Hospital’s drugs and consumable equipment was also missing after the mysterious time lapse.

Doctor Callow (52) of Galaxy City’s 104th Street West commented, “I’m not sure what happened but we’ve never had a problem here at the hospital, the Gangs in this zone simply have never attempted anything before. Several of the nurses have been distressed at the loss of memory and rightly so”

Several doctors and nurses, even some patients, woke to find themselves in various positions they had not been in previously. Some had marker pen on their faces.

Mysterious rioters seen clearing out Perez Park

During the early hours on the morning, reports about large numbers of teenagers aged 14-16 came in from heroes scouting Perez park. "I dunno how many there were, maybe thirty, fourty, I dunno. But I do know one thing, they were snazzy dressers!" Said a hero known as Efranof who was caught in the crossfire between these mysterious teenagers and a large gang of Skulls.

So far, nobody has worked out where they came from or where they went, all we know is that hundreds of Skulls, Hellion and Circle of Thorns were sent to jail because of them. This mysterious gang of teens are wanted by the PPD for questioning. Do not approach then as we believe them to be armed and dangerous, if you believe that there is one within your current area, call the PPD or ask a hero to check it out.

Their appearence was, as a few of the villains they had put to jail said, tall wearing a black hood, no shirt and black baggy trousers. I repeat, do not approach if seen, instead call for the PPD or for a hero.




Experimental technology stolen from heroe's lab

At 3:37pm on the 12th of May 2006, whilst a hero worked on an experimental technology for future use of hospital to treat a supposedly untreatable disability, a group of villains attacked. The hero, named Commander Beet, was seriously injured but was still alive, unfortunatly the technology he had been working on was stolen and the lab destroyed.

Commander Beet said this when we asked him what had happened. "They came in large numbers, I couldn't stop them forever. For all heroes in the city, look out for robotic beings fully in blue with one eye, be cautious. If they attack do not hesitate to destroy them as they will destroy you first."

We then asked him what was stolen, he replied with "No comment." PPD and Longbow are now searching for the stolen technologies in Atlas Park, Kings Row and Skyway City.
