AV: Amanda Vines, WSPDR News, bringing you a Special Report from Port Oakes. Can you introduce yourself, ma'am?
EM: My name's Elaine Masters...
AV: Can you tell our viewers what you saw?
EM: Uh, sure....I was on my way to the plaza, we meet up there on Tuesdays to talk about cleaning up the chemicals abandoned around the labs, only when I got there, someone was already there with a barrel. I thought it was odd because I was early, some of us were going to visit Vincent in the hospital afterwards.
AV: And Vincent was one of your group?
EM: Yes, he had just joined recently, and had made some real progress in ways to prevent runoff contamination when he was involved in an accident near the lab.
AV: An accident. *AV stares meaningfully at the camera* Please, continue.
EM: Well, like I said, someone was there, so I called out a hello, but they didn't respond and as I got closer I could see why. The man was gagged! He was chained to one of the barrels of waste, it was dripping on his head and there was a horrible smell.
AV: And what did you think?
EM: I was scared! But standing there, I thought I should save him, but....there were papers stapled to his shirt and an ID badge around his neck, with a card. I had to read them, the card just said 'a present', but the ID, I knew him, not personally, but Eric Haysworth was the guy who stopped all our cleanup attempts, got us arrested from trespassing.
AV: And the papers?
EM: Well, I couldn't not see them, they were right there, after all. It was an email conversation, between Eric and someone called Rake, and....well it talked about how to make us stop our work, permanently, starting with Vincent. Whoever did this...well I'm glad their looking out for us.
AV: WSPDR attempted to get footage of the papers, but Arachnos was on scene mere moments after this reporter, and we couldn't get a clear shot. What we did get was this. Who is responsible for this act, and what are their goals? As always, we'll be following this story and bring you information as we discover it.
