ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT ON FORMER PRESIDENT O'FLOINN FOILED
An otherwise beautiful sunny afternoon at the Eutopia Racetrack was rocked by violence that left two people dead. The Racetrack, as one of the few public attractions with power, had drawn many luminaries, including its owner, former president John O'Floinn.
As the gates opened for the start of the second race, the bells went off and two shots rang out from a utility shed, one of which struck and killed Calvin Harding, son of former MILE and O'Floinn ally Yuber Harding.
A man dressed as an ice-cream vendor and described as "badly burned" fled from the shed as track security gave pursuit. The assassin eluded security forces, but his body was found in a getaway car, with the engine running. Police cornoners confirm that he had been garroted to death. Witnesses on the scene at the discovery claim that a crude note pinned to his chest read "The Phalanx Wlak will destroy all threats to the President. You have been warned."
A search of the van and international finger print records identify the slain gunman as R.Toolley O'Moore, a Bermudan arms dealer with ties to organized crime and terrorism. Police suspect O'Moore as the the perpetrator of the Cooperative Square Massacre, as the murderer of former President Vasco IKK, and several other unsolved bombings in recent months.
Voshkod said:Napier looked up from his lunch to watch the sports scores on a muted television. With a smile, he called over the waitress.
"Ma'am, please buy everyone in the place one on me. My team just won it's first game. A good way to start the season."

von Streusser said:The moment Marine mentioned the ice cream bombings, Vasquez folded his notebook closed and tucked it back into his jacket pocket. "I'd love to take your case, Senor Marine...but for one fact. It has already been solved. Here..." The PI reaches into another pocket and pulls out a newspaper clipping.
"Its from the 59th edition of NewsLink. Easy to miss in all the chaos, I understand. So I'm afraid the...Phalanx Wlak already found and took care of your man. A shame, almost, since you were going to pay so well. Unless, of course, you were going to hire me to try and find his organized crime or terrorist contacts? Now that...that would be very dangerous. Possibly suicidal. They'll have their people covered coming and going, and all the storms probably destroyed most of the evidence."
Wämö said:"So, you are a communist, no?" Markus asks.
