News Reports for Week 34

Keelung Security Force Under Attack
The Ai Jinn security force has come under heavy attack from heavily armed gangs in the city of Keelung. Brutal street to street fighting is now taking place as the Ai Jinn soldiers attempt to secure the region. It is believed the enemy combatants are criminals financed by the black market and that they are aiming to keep all forms of law enforcement out of the city.
Ai Jinn tanks and troops have been unable to make headway and are caught at three key points on the edge of Little Japan; A pet shop, An anti-gravity mechanics workshop and an orphanage. All three sites appear to be heavily defended with durasteel and hard ion shields, which suggests they have been prepared for this battle for some time.
There are also reports of Cult of Machina attacking Ai Jinn squads and taking advantage of the chaos and rumours about large BIOs stalking the dark corners of the battlefield. Both of these are awaiting verification.

Madrid Spire Quiet
The Madrid spire is quiet tonight, as martial law was declared inside by the security droids and the DLA. Citizens have been restricted to their homes until the Cult of Machina threat is dealt with, though there is no word if people will be allowed to leave after this time.
An EI spokesperson stated "See, it's all working out. Told you so."
