Massive Fire in Rhodesburg- A large fire burned out several blocks in Rhodesburg last week. The Minister of Public Safety's Office issued a statement on the event earlier this week, citing poor infrastructure, flagrant violation of building codes, and the crowded conditions as reasons for why the fire was particularly devastating. "The overcrowding and underdevelopment of Rhodesburg poses health risks to the population, previous efforts have been ineffective, and so we must take more stringent measures," the MoPS's office stated.
Next week the Minister of Public Safety, as well as the Minister of Law and the City Manager will convene to discuss solutions to the problem.
Elena texts the group, offering a new job and a meeting place. Those who are interested and attending find themselves in a high-bay machine shop near the Pig Iron District. Norum, Ryde, and Daniel know the location. Elena is well dressed, as if she's about to go out clubbing. Her demeanor is a bit off, and she seems a bit rushed. The group is gathered around a round table on the shop floor. There are cans of cheap beer on the table.
"Thanks for turning up, let's start. The lab stuff came back from the house we looked at a couple weeks ago. I built some profiles up on the folks who were at that house, using that medical database breach that you probably heard about to get names and addresses and whatnot. We should be able to corroborate their experience with the information I dug up on the doctor we're looking at, so that we know we're looking at the right guy. It's nothing difficult, as long as they give a good description of their experience. And don't worry about remembering it all, I've got a couple mics you can use,"
Elena puts some papers on the table and spreads them out. Her tone is a bit flatter than usual.
"We've got one guy from Pig Iron, one guy from Rhodesburg, and one girl from Carmichael oddly enough. These are our best bets.
The Pig Iron guy's name is Pedro Peyton, works as a shipbreaker. He was injured some kind of accident, lost his arm months ago. He's 23, got his job back, and likes to frequent a pub not far from here. In fact, he's there now. He also seems to like cars.
The Rhodesburg guy is Chima Bishop, he's 45, and African emigrant worker. If I had to guess he got suckered in to moving here for work and can't leave. He's been here a while. Does menial labor. The medical database says he had both legs crushed by heavy machinery. It doesn't mention anything about replacements, but I know he's got them because there are pictures of him up and around on social media. He... should be at a work site right now. I can give his location in a minute.
The Carmichael lady is Catalina Kerrigan. She's 31, a low level office worker in Salus, seems to like to go clubbing. Has a cadre of friends with her usually, so you might have to go through them. She's at a club called the Arctic Circle, in Midtown Central sub-district. Her medical data shows nothing out of the ordinary. She had
something done to her though, because her DNA was at the house we looked at. Last I saw was that she filled a prescription for pain meds,"
Elena looks around.
"That was a lot to run by you, sorry. You can figure out to run this however you want. I can't go with you guys, unfortunately. Questions, anyone?"
