DISTURBANCE AT ARCOLOGY QUARANTINE
SEATTLE(UJI) - Witnesses claim to have seen and heard a battle outside
the Renraku Arcology in downtown Seattle today. Eyewitnesses report
hearing gunfire and explosions outside a bus terminal entrance, and
state that a number of Renraku guards and UCAS Army soldiers were killed
and wounded. The UCAS Army has cordoned off the area and refused to
comment.

Ever since setting up a quarantine zone around the Arcology just two
weeks ago, the UCAS Army has forcibly evacuated non-necessary personnel
from the Arcology's immediate vicinity. Combined with numerous street
blockades, restricted air traffic and a strict curfew, the situation has
become a nightmare for downtown traffic and business. Despite the
problems, Seattle's United Corporate Council has complied fully with
UCAS Army demands. To date, Renraku, the UCAS Army and the Corporate
Court have all declined to comment or speculate further on the situation
or on when it might be resolved.

"This is Trudy Garland with KSAF-Seattle, downtown in front of the
Renraku Arcology, which remains closed after three weeka. I have with me
today Major Eckhardt of the UCAS Army, who's agreed to answer some
questions." The reporter is a generically stunning Ork, in front of Gate
1 of the Arcology's bus terminal. Troops in combat gear scurry or
lounge, as appropriate.


"Major Eckhardt, why has the Army sealed off the Arcology and taken
control of the investigation away from Renraku Computer Systems?"

"Well, Miss Garland, let me first say that while the UCAS has claimed
jurisdiction in this situation, we are still working closely with
Renraku until this matter-"

Behind the Major, one of the lounging soldiers suddenly goes over, blood
spraying from his throat.

"If I may interrupt, Major, what exactly needs resolving by the UCAS
Army?" Garland asks, unaware of the dark silhouettes spreading out from
the bus terminal. The cameraman zooms in on one, revealing a blue-eyed
Japanese in Red Samurai uniform pulling his SCK-100 into his shoulder,
and back out again to the interview.

"There's no need for alarm, Miss Garland." Eckhardt is saying. "We're
confident that the situation in the Arcology will be resolved
peacefully-"

An explosion makes everyone flinch, as someone shouts "Magic! We need a
mage-" The cameraman grabs the reporter, pulling her away from the Major
who's grabbing for his sidearm as bullets stitch wet red flowers across
his chest. The Red Samurai's eyes are incredibly blue above the muzzle
flash, as the view is kicked skywards, then after a few seconds fuzzes
to static.
