Rogue Isles protector, September 22nd
Blast rocks St. Martial, dozens injured, three dead.
In the early hours of this morning around three a.m., an explosion destroyed a supplies warehouse near to the Arachnos base in St. Martial. Witnesses say the shockwave blew out windows for three miles around ground zero, the fireball turning night into day for many seconds. Debris has been found this morning as far away as Cap Au Diable. Arachnos drones recorded fleeting images of a tall, platinum-haired female of unknown identity dressed in black armour, leaving the scene on foot.
The warehouse, which carried supplies of food and medicines to the less-fortunate inhabitants of the Isles at cost, had been operating legitimately in the area for over a decade. The owner, one Anthony Braithewaite, said to our reporter this morning that he '(is) Shocked and dismayed that such a brutal and uncaring act of barbarity would be commited upon the innocent lives struggling to live on the isle's poorest communities.' Mr Braithewaite went on to say that 'The cost of the lost food and medicines would be met from his own pocket, to ensure that as few people as possible would miss out on their desperately needed supplies.'
Among the dead were three night-patrolmen, all fine upstanding citizens and loyal Reclusian subjects. Other injuries came from blast damage and shock-trauma, as well as some crushing wounds from falling debris. Arachnos had nothing to say about this incident. (Updated Oct 02)
