The Zone

Rumours and news being spread among the freelancers and faction members.

It is believed that the headquarters of the Churchgoers has been located and several groups have started to take action against them. The Long Gamers and High Rollers have set up sniper positions to keep the Churchgoers hemmed in, but as yet there have been no sightings of the Archbishop and no-one has committed the resources needed for a full assault.

Rumours are spreading that an alien being has appeared in the Zone. Two freelancers camped out in a remote area claim to have seen a featureless humanoid slowly materialise out of thin air and then walk away. Most have dismissed this as palpable nonsense, but others point to the high number of dubious and amoral scientific experiments going on in the area and suggest that whilst not an alien, the figure is most likely real.

A small corporate security team, fired by their employers and kicked out into the Zone at large, have been telling the tale of how they survived against a band of freelancers. Charged with safely transporting a scientist between test sites the four person team were all gunned down alongside the scientist, but the four security personnel were all healed and allowed to leave. The leader of the team has offered to spill the beans on the activities of his former employers but no-one has yet met what he calls “the right price”.
