## Tensions Brewing in the Aurette Coast

Citizens in the Auris Republic are still fending off unease today as the second day of an unknown entity's arrival comes to a close. The Aurisian government is urging citizens to prepare for the worst and to evacuate from the 93km radius designated "dangerous" due to the entity's arrival. This comes as the Aurisian military has been put on high alert for the first time in a decade. Alongside these happenings, operatives from the Camelot Anomalous Containment Group (CACG) have been seen crossing the border into the Auris, transporting unknown items into the Evacuation Zone around the entity.

We've reached out to the CACG, and have gotten a personal statement from the agency's Director, Dr. "Archangel":

> *"The CACG is trying to handle the situation as best as we can. We recently secured key personnel to assist in taking care of the entity. The Roundtable is hard at work finding a definite solution to the matter. Our best arcane researchers Wizard of the South and Wicked Witch of the Midwest are studying diligently and collaborating with the personnel we have secured. For me, I am going to be taking a bit of time to condition off-world. As much as I can say that the situation will be handled, I also would like to have the citizens of the Auris Republic outside of the evacuation zone prepared for an immediate evacuation, should this situation escalate further. This means stock supplies, medicine, and food in case something doesn't go as planned. The Group will also be providing shelter and supplies as well to citizens in collaboration with the Aurisian government. We will stop this threat, no matter what it takes. The Group is here to help, and we will do just that."*

## Camelotian Astronauts to Return from GSS

Following months of work and experimentation in orbit aboard the Grail Space Station, astronauts Carl Withrow, Samuel Rigby, and Brys Hart are set to return to Camelot's soil Friday. They'll be returning on the PEGASUS-5 spaceplane, changing places with a group of fresh astronauts. In anticipation for their return the Camelot Space Exploration Agency (CSEA) is encouraging interested citizens to tune in to their livestream of the mission, and to keep an eye on the sky in person (should you be close enough).

## String of Robberies in the Straille Commonwealth

Authorities in the Commonwealth responded to a bank robbery in progress last Wednesday, the latest in a string of bank robberies linked to a criminal gang known by citizens and investigators as the "Jester's Joust." This nickname was coined due to the calling cards left at the scene of multiple robberies, a small playing card with a design of a jester's hat sitting atop a leaning lance.

The Commonwealth Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is offering a $5,000 reward for any information that aids in the capture of the "Jester's Joust," with multiple field offices open across the nation to receive anonymous tips. Commissioner Stephen Ramses of the CBI has urged many banks to move funds to safer locations and to step up security where possible, as the gang has managed to rob up to $7.5 million by latest estimations.
