Gigabites has been, for most people in the station, a staple of what an establishment with corporate backing should be: Welcoming, family oriented, with great food, and even better service. Operated almost single handedly by Milor, Gigabites has mostly remained in the background, almost as a niche for a selected community searching for culinary delicacies. Until back in April tragedy struck and propelled Gigabites to the headlines it always wanted, but not in the way they would have preferred. An incident that tarnished Gigabites's Block Party and gave birth to Arboria Tactical Systems, had left many weary of the rampant criminality that endangered those Sectors that are considered to be protected by Corporate interests. With time, people had started to go back to the establishment to enjoy Milor's cooking as if nothing had happened.
However, one more instance of terror took place back in the evening of May 30th, when a known white haired female started to really make appearances in every holoscreen, you may remember her as a new participant in Dragons Rising: Fight Night. Early witness accounts point at a standoff happening first, and the white haired woman being shot, which followed the same white haired woman stabbing a masked woman twice, while the masked woman was rushed to Genetectic for emergency procedures, the whereabouts of the white haired woman are currently unknown at this time.
With the rise in criminality, and reports of Twin Dragons increasing their own security outfits on Sectors One and Two, and especially Chinatown, the general public asks if Arboria Tactical Systems truly is the right answer for these criminal acts? Or if a more "Hands on" type of justice, like the one Twin Dragons seem to support, would end up delivering the peaceful times that seem to be a distant memory.
ONN advises the general public to protect yourselves and to remain ever vigilant, even on generally believed to be safe areas, if you detect any suspicious activities underway, report it to the authorities as soon as possible, alternatively, please remember that our station now has a public shooting range to train yourself with different weapons, and as always, we'll continue reporting on this story as more information becomes available.
