Pulse is a reputable club with a long-standing tradition in Cocoon. People from the highest levels in Corporate Life are known to make their way there, share a drink with friends, and then go home. The establishment has also been the venue for a lot of high-class events, such as Arboria's Soiree some time ago. Great service, even better food and drink, and an experience to remember is what the club offers. But tonight, tragedy has descended upon this once calm establishment.
Not long ago, five men, dressed sharply, made their way to Pulse, and what was thought to be another small party with friends, soon turned into a tragedy as these armed men pulled weapons and opened fire. At first glance, it was hard to tell if they had a target or not, but it was then apparent that their target was an equally sharp dressed woman. At the moment, what we know is that MGM personnel, led by Ms. Annwehn Sinclair and assisted by Pixel, responded to the aggression, making it difficult for the assailants to achieve their objective, the woman who is assumed to be the assassin's target responded the aggression too with a gun of her own. However, it was deemed to be a very weird turn of events, a woman wearing nothing more but a bikini, took the woman's gun and quickly disposed of the would-be assassins. At this moment, we can only guess who these women were, as they seem to have fled the scene quickly afterward, as well as some of the patrons found there.
At this point in time, MGM has closed down Pulse while the investigations continue and while medical and cybertech services are administered to the people who were at the wrong place at the wrong time, a team of ATS Forensic Investigators are expected to work on the crime scene and create a line of investigation.
At first glance, one would be easy to blame Twin Dragons, but the Modus Operandi is completely different, the dressing styles don't match most of the Twin Dragons. But the question remains, if not Twin Dragons, then who?
And what remains even more curious is that we may actually know the identity of the woman in white who summarily executed all five assassins on her own, as she participated in the latest edition of Dragons Rising: Fight Night, and she was identified as 9A, perhaps the organizers of Dragons Rising: Fight Night know more about her.
ONN Recommends the Cocoon Station Residents to be safe and to remain indoors while the crisis passes, and as always, we'll report more of this story as it develops.
