Riot in Smichov - check the news

[x_maker]

Apparently early this morning - well, early morning here - something happened in Smichov in the Czech Republic, where they've built that wall around the mutant ghetto. They were letting some people pass through the barricades and there was "an incident", and somehow the military started opening fire. Newsfeeds are getting scattered reports of citizens versus soldiers in and out of the ghetto - have we heard ANYTHING from the Elpis folks that were heading out there? I've been watching what video's getting out of there, there hasn't been anything new in the past hour.

This is absolutely horrifying and why isn't the jet taking off yet?

From a humanitarian standpoint, Marius. Nothing ominous.

Assess? Are they standing back and assessing, or actually stepping in and actively assessing?

Up until now, Nathan and his team were there as observers. They documented the goings-on inside of the walls, as several other groups were doing, in order that those outside might know what was going on.

Of course, now that the situation has changed, their goals probably have as well. Nathan has always been a supporter of 'actively assessing', and I am sure this situation is no different. I have a feeling they will be doing all they can, which is as much as anyone can do.

Now we just need to keep watch for a giant firebird. That will be the ultimate answer.

I trust Dayspring isn't so completely insensible as to display one of the most compelling images from San Diego in the middle of a city driven mad by the paranoia that disaster inspired.

Though I'm beginning to think I should have told the Czechs not to blow up Prague.

Observers? Very well then. I suppose news must be gotten out.

Though looking at the initial reports available, just so we're clear, we are speaking of observers who came bearing food and basic medical supplies, right?
