Governor Goldsmith Assassinated!

So Avis Fuss, the political Brains behind the Miami Libre Movement had invited your humble blogger to a sit down in the Matrix. While he was going on an on about how a strong Miami could dominate the Caribbean League, the news alert came in that the Governor had been Killed.

It appears that the assassin drove a small drone into the Governor's mansion through the plumbing. Once inside the Governor's chambers, the drone detonated, which took out most of the second floor.

Once Fuss was aware of the blast, he apologized profusely and terminated the connection.

I have it on good authority that Fuss had been at odds with the Governor as of late about the direction of South Florida. I'll leave it to you, my dear readers to untangle whats going on behind the scenes.

New Dragon Sited in Miami!

So I was at the Carbon Di last night trying to dig up any info on what was happening with the Order of the Black Dawn's wayward dragon statue, when someone shouted that a dragon had just swooped over the building.

I rushed up to the roof to see an Obsidian Dragon briefly silhouetted against the city lights before disappearing into a thunderhead.

I leave it to you, my faithful readers, to determine if there's a connection between this new dragon and that statue that everyone was trying to recover. As far as this humble blogger knows, there aren't any dragon's dwelling in Miami. And as near as I can tell, there isn't a single Obsidian colored dragon in the entire world...

Shadowfeed: Miami 02 12 2071

Just a quick post while I sit here sipping a mojito for breakfast.

Looks like something's got the local Fixer community all riled up. A certain little bird told me that they met on a yacht last night to discuss something very important. What I'm hearing is that the Order of the Black dawn is pissed about that break in at the Hilton last Saturday. I'd be pissed too if I lost 1,000,000 nuyen worth of trinkets and made to look the fool for it.

Particularly, they really want to recover the Tears of the Dragon Statue.

This intrepid blogger attempted to find out more, but the runners guarding the yacht made short work of the construction drone I borrowed for the occasion.

Ah well, C'est la vie.

Shadowfeed: Miami 02 09 2071

This is your friendly Neighborhood Blogger Idlewild again. I've successfully fled the good ol' UCAS, leaving all the cold and the snow and the politics back in Detroit, and set up shop down here in God's waiting room. I haven't been in Miami a week and already the Shadows are in movement. Saturday was a busy night for some of you out there.

So with no rest for the wicked, I'll jump right in.

Two Murdered in Bizarre Double Mob Style Hit!

Jeff Johns, owner and manager of the Lightning Rod, along with Mary Holler, a waitress at the bar, were both shot in the back of the head sometime late Saturday Night. Johns, who had previously been arrested for NovaCoke dealing was rumored to have ties to the Gambione Crime family.
Former employees of Johns did not have good things to say about the deceased. "That jerk was a rapist, a coke fiend, and the worst kind of Elf Poser. He made me get surgery to look more Elf like!" Said Floyd Garrish, one of the bartenders at the Lightning Rod. "Two shots in the head, couldn't have happened to a nicer guy!"
The police have no leads in the double homicide, but suspect it may have been mob or drug related.

Thieves Hit Black Dawn Auction

The 13th annual Black Dawn Mystical Auction was held Saturday at the downtown Hilton. An organized gang of Talisleggers infiltrated the Hotel, disguising themselves as workers and guests. The gang made off with several rare and unusual artifacts, including the Tears of the Dragon sculpture, an Obsidian carving which had been recently recovered from hold of a sunken Spanish Treasure ship.
The members of the Black Dawn had most of the items up for auction stored in rented rooms on the 12th, 14th, and 15th floors. Most members chose to hire individual runners in lieu of more organized security. A couple of runners were successful in stopping the theives.
The Black Dawn have posted a reward for the recovery of the stolen artifacts.

Carib League Warez Haven shut down

Early Sunday morning, an Ares Macrotechnology computer security team shut down a major Warez haven down after a sixth month investigation.
The Ares team had the haven under observation when a visiting hacker noticed their inquiry. Worried that their cover was blown, the Team chose to move in with what they have an shut the Haven down.
The Warez site had been operating for about a year, and had used a Pirate themed VR. The hackers running the Haven had been poaching other people's programs, and making illegal copies.
Ares Macrotech believes most of the hackers were able to evade the security agents.
