On days with little to no risk of a Red Sky the work is paying roughly what it always did, but by the 4th day the payments start to increase. By the 7th day no work is taken up regardless of pay as everyone knows the Red Sky will hit.

A few brave scouts went into the area shortly afterwards and reported a 30m radius blast area with the trees scorched for a further 20-30m or so. The epicentre of the blast appears to be an access hatch for an underground facility. A couple of people have reported entering the facility and have reported absolute devastation within. No doubt scavengers will be picking over the site for a while to come, but anything usable was destroyed outright and there are a lot of bodies within. Any survivors have long since quit the area. The attackers have not been identified, but no-one is reporting any Bar contracts to do such a thing, so the immediate suspicion is corporate sabotage.\\ | ||

+ | Some kind of drone aircraft was shot down, and the black box recovered. Whilst small drones were used for courier duty a while back they were abandoned as too easy to shoot down, so it remains something of a mystery as to why someone has started using them again, and wondering quite what one of this size would be for only fuels the speculation.\\ | ||

+ | Violence against corporte targets has taken a marked step upwards. Some Bar contracts have called for wholesale slaughter or overt destruction of property on a far larger scale than previously. No-one is sure whether or not this is an escalation of corporate espionage, or whether an outside source is declaring war. | ||
