The tour of the 1CMRS goes on as planned, though a special arrangement has been made to include the prince of Conservatia.
A small bomb goes off in the streets of Central Russia. No one knows to what intent. No one was killed, though 8 were injured– two badly from heat burns and shrapnel, and the rest from shrapnel of varying degrees of severity from the asphalt. Three men in dark cloaks were seen in pursuit of another man fleeing the scene, caught by two security cameras from stores nearby. Their whereabouts were unknown up until a few days later that Central Russian Police receive a tip pointing them to a barn out of town by 22 miles, where the man had supposedly been found. When the police arrive, they find the man who fled the scene to be hung, evidently hanging there for days. Police find that this man had shown signs of struggle, such as wear on his wrists and ankles, where he had apparently been bound. Upon inspection of his pockets, police find a detonator switch with the man's fingerprints, and smeared fingerprints, unidentifiable, probably the man's, but with the switch handled with latex gloves prior to police inspection. It seems to be that the three men in pursuit were responsible in whole or in part for this whole ordeal.
