>>>>>>[{UPLINK} Shelly McGuire here standing in front of the still
smoking
wreck of Slick Willies House of Pleasures, an infamous house of ill-repute here
in OrkTown. Slick Willies, and all other structures within a three-block
radius of the abandoned United Frieght Shipyards has been decimated in what
experts agree was a surgical nuclear strike. Let's go now to the scene where
Miguel is there live...
...thanks Shelly. This is Miguel Naifu here for EWTN-4 Eyewitness news, your
complete newsfeed with a full-line of programs twenty-four hours a day. I am
standing just thirty yards away from the central areal of the
***A(&@(@(*#(@((@(@(@*** sorry, there is quite a bit of EM interference still,
and most electronics were knocked out in the area when the EM shockwave hit.
As Shelly mentioned, experts at the Defense Activities Tactical Research Fund,
a government-sponsored thinktank, has identified the destruction as a result of
a surgical nuclear strike ... however unconfirmed sources suggest that the
damage may have also been caused by a satellite microwave pulse laser. Looking
around me I see a wasteland of burned earth and melted slag. There is also a
fine silt of ash covering everything that the labdocs say includes human, ork,
elf and dwarf flesh among other things.
Apparently, the United Frieght shipyards was the sight of a meeting,
the nature of which we here at EWTN-4 cannot determine,a sort of caucus between
the elite of the two go-gangs of the area, the Arnold Awesomes and the Ronin.
Apparently they had met to mediate their long running turf-dispute. Jeremih
Combant, leader of the Awesomes, and Snake, leader of the Ronins, are missing
and presumed dead along with the dozen or so gang members that were reported
with them. Local sources say that the meeting was sponsored by a powerful
corporate executive or the mafia. We'll be looking into this and bring you up
to date on developments as they occur. Back to you, Shelly...
Thanks, Miguel. In other news, the Happy Vales Condominium was the
site of a level-4 security alarm today. An official explanation has not been
released except to say that they were testing their new security system and
that a glitch caused the false alarm. However, sources near the director of
security say that it was not a glitch, but a real breakin the motive of which
is not clear at this time. Happy Vales is a sculptures living community in the
minion district, catering to high levmetahuman corporate
employees...]<<<<<<

Nuke me ass! A lot more than three-blocks would have been gone if a nuke was
used, I'll tell ye! ]<<<<<<

>>>>>>[ Not exactly. Tactical Surgical Warheads do exist, they are just
not
that widely publicized for obvious reasons. In fact, the blast can be much
tighter than a 6-block radius, beleive me. But I don't think the strike was
nuclear... tacnukes don't cause the EM shockwave the newsy spoke off ... as far
as collateral effects, tacnukes are a flash and a whoosh and thats about it.
Could be a laser, but a laser big and good enough to wipe out that big an area
from a satellite? Whoever fired it is probably as powerful as they are
dangerous. Probably hates orks, as well. ]<<<<<<
