Macabre discovery off Port Noble .
Coastguards patrolling the waters off Port Noble docks, Striga isle, made a grisly find late last night, when around fourteen bodies were found floating in the sea just off shore.
The bodies are described as both hideously malformed and mutilated, bearing a range of savage bite wounds, burns, and large slashes. The inhuman forms were brought ashore by the Coastguard cutter for forensic examination. Reports say the bodies were humanoid but clearly not human.
Commander Ruise of the Coastguard Cutter declined to comment on the question of any connection of these bodies to the recent sinking of the Kain Tzu and its missing crew.
PLEASE READ THIS BIT FIRST
This is a RP thread for a minor bit of character plot-age, it will mainly be news reports and OOC follow ups to In-game RP. However anyone is welcome to post any IC action they feel are related, and/or PM for more info based on IC activity.
The word Doom used here has a specific IC meaning here and does NOT refer to a world ending/changing event. That is not to say bad things will not happen.
The first two sections are reprints from the In the Newspapers! Thread.

Chaos at Port Noble, Striga Isle ..
...the docks at Port Noble where plunged into chaos late last night when the bulk transporter vessel the Kian Tzu, inbound From Singapore, sunk in the main channel into the harbour.
First reports indicate that there was a series of explosions aboard the ship, resulting in it rapidly sinking. The Coastguard say no members of the crew have been found, and no distress message was received.
The Kian Tzu went down in the main approach channel to the Port Noble docks, all other shipping has been diverted until the Coastguard can assess how badly the channel is blocked.

Paragon City Business News Roundup Tuesday 28th Sept 2010
..following the sinking of the freighter Kain Tzu the docks at Port Noble are suffering large scale disruption, with only 40% of the normal number of ships being able to enter or leave the port. Business sources say this may have a knock on effect with the supply of Xmas goods reaching store late.
The sinking is already having a local effect with the Docks owners starting to lay off dockside workers, Toni Tantoleni, the dockworkers Union boss commented d boys iza nota gonna be appy abot this.
The Coastguard say the Kain Tzu is lying in the shallow water of the southern approach to the docks and is currently a major hazard to shipping. At this time not a single member of the Kain Tzus crew has been found, and no bodies have been recovered. The Coastguard admitted the removal of the sunken vessel will be difficult, and that the FBSA had been contacted to see if any heroes with underwater capability are able to assist.
