Big Trouble in Little Convergence

HEADLINE: Big Trouble in Little Convergence

An unnamed group of men and women are sought for the late January explosion of the Silk District which injured a handful and managed to kill several employees as well as devastated a subdivision in the western part of the city. 

A chain reaction of explosions tore the formerly imperial-themed district apart. Little, to nothing was left standing. Several people perished in the explosions, and many more were injured. The city, however, was not without its swift response to the call of aid. Humanitarians rushed to the district to render aid in any form that could be offered. Some offered shielding to the wounded, others rushed to extract those buried in the rubble, and more still simply offered emotional support to those traumatized by events.

As fires raged across the district, Amara and her friend Uvall sought to triage the worst of the injured. Though no less helpful, many unseen moved about the District, hidden by smoke and flame, to help in other ways. Even the rescuers delved into the deep of peril, some coming to injury, themselves.

As the confusion abated, it was soon realized that the man who ran the District, and managed all aspects of business, was trapped in the rubble. His assistant, Trace, later confirmed that Leif Freyson had made the ultimate sacrifice and threw his friend out of the way of the collapsing Palace ceiling, only to perish, himself. Trace was later taken to the Nexus for treatment for several wounds and trauma.

Jae Joon Hwa took over as temporary Head Manager of the District and was quick to get it back to its former glory. With the aid of many good people of the Union Building, the Silk District was soon under reconstruction. In a show of dedication and hard work that is the mark of those at the Union, the Silk District did, indeed attain its former glory, and some say has gone beyond.

Hearkening back to the city of old, the rebuilt Silk District now appears as an old, Japanese hamlet, lost in time. Presiding over it is a contrasting great European mansion. This juxtaposition of East and West perfectly conveys the culture of the seminal district.

We at the Convergence Chronicle would like to thank the efforts of all those who arrived so promptly to the aid of so many. As if called, the rains poured down to begin washing away the soot and quell the flames. 

From all of us, thank you.

Amara, Uvall, Frossen, Iris, Tempest, Nana, Raziel, and everyone at the Union, thank you. 

If you were involved in the rebuilding or the rescue efforts and were not properly credited, please, come by the Convergence Chronicle so we may give the thanks you deserve.
