The News these days....

[Cadence Calloway]

The common room is buzzing with activity. The short kid who smells like cheese and the guy who acts like he knows everything are playing pool, while Westbrook's elite circle of gossipers whisper rumors about everything from the suspected romance between Mr. Deathrage and his mop to whether it was true that Mr. Herrera was seen escorting Nurse Jenkins to her car the night before. PNN's weekend evening broadcast is just beginning on the huge TV. Among the various top stories that the anchorwoman addresses, this particularly interesting one comes up...

"Rogue employees are to blame for an explosion at a Crey Industries facility in Crey's Folly. It has been alleged that the site in question was being used for illegal cloning operations. Its believed that the facility was being investigated by a pair of as of yet unnamed heroes. Countess Crey refused to comment, but representatives of the megacorporation did release this statement: Crey Industries would like to thank the heroes responsible for bringing an end to the operations taking place in Venice. We offer our apology that those working for our company would engage in such unethical experimentation. Let it be assured that the actions of these few do not reflect the wishes and goals of Crey Industries as a whole."
