ZCN 2/24/2421: Water District Under Siege!

This is a Zaphira City News publication from 2/24/2421.
== Water District Under Siege! ==
=== Terrorists Strike Again But Are Repelled By LZPD ===
Lower Zaphira was met with a strange sight that turned into a horror film as a dense mist covered the Water District early last night. Terrorist group now known as "The Hand of Zarus" used this mist to conceal their movements into Lower Zaphira, where cowardly attacks against unarmed civilians took place. 
Over 80 citizens lost their lives to the attack, with 138 reported injured and another 63 still missing as of this report. Fortunately, the proactive efforts of LZPD and other Humanitarian Organizations ensured the safe evacuation of any remaining citizens, as well as providing shelter to those who lost their homes in the conflict.
The zealots, whose doctrine preaches the superiority of Humanity over all other races, were met with the fierce retalliation of LZPD, TacSec, and Neuron Security. These agencies were then reinforced with support from Wayward Industries, newly forged Adventures' Guild Misty Shores, and even Councilman Satchi's Lilac Units. With this assistance, LZPD officials were able to fight back the terrorists and ensure safety was restored to the Water District.
ZNN reached out to CEO of Wayward Industries, Batheili Auritis, for comment. They had this to say:"I would like to thank my freinds and colleagues for assisting me in the defense of Zaphira City as well as the others who were present, I appreciate every one of you. This goes to the individuals responsible for the attack: this city is protected, and we will fight to protect it. Even if it costs us our lives. Zaphira is our home, our way of life. You will not take that from us."In addition to this, Mister Auritis has dispatched aid and support throughout the Water District, as well as assisting security defenses and checkpoints established in the sector.
ZNN also reached out to Guild Master Raiesh of Misty Shores but did not receive a response before the time of this publication. Councilman Satchi was unreachable as well at this time. His AI ensures us that he is taking every precaution to ensure safety within Lower Zaphira, stating:"[Satchi] has promised that this threat will be brought under control and his marked absence is evidence of how busy he has become to bring safety to the Garden District as well as the rest of Lower Zaphira."ZNN graciously thanks LZPD and all who assisted them in the defense of Zaphira against these vicious murderers of law-abiding citizens. If you or a loved one are in need of aid, please contact local authorities with any information that you can provide. Together, we can stand strong in the face of adversity and centuries old rhetoric that has no place within our city. This has been ZNN.
