GAS STATION ROBBERY - 3 DEAD
Late in the afternoon, a group of armed bandits approached a gas station. A wandering trader was serving some customers. And then, they started shooting. Five men armed with assault rifles, pistols, and sub-machine guns caught the group in surprise.
The men began going around, forcing the group to give them money, like common bandits. A few men tried to escape, but were unsuccessful, as shown here.

It will not be long before they begin moving to the main town, instead of robbing wanderers in the desert. Any man able to hold a weapon is strongly encouraged to join the Gerian militia, in case the C.E. are not able to intervene.

MINING CAVERN ASSAULT - 5 DEAD
But, do the C.E. want to intervene in everything? A group of mercenaries in the mining caves were talking to a C.E. officer, when they suddenly turned hostile. They overpowered him, and tortured him. Meanwhile, an Apache assault helicopter showed with an entire C.E. strike force. The mercenaries held out their own, making five reported kills. Despite efforts to overcome the cave with flashbangs and heavy weaponry, the mercenaries' position was vastly superior for defense. A 10 foot wide, 30 foot long hallway separated the C.E. forces from the Mercenaries. Inside, a bunch of ruined buildings with many cover spots and hidey holes.
C.E. forces were extracted from the area. Whether the mercs are still there or not, we do not know. Be careful anyways.
We will take time now, to remember the fallen.
