[Michael Cone <Michael.Cone@apollogrp.edu>]

YUMA VILLAGE, ARIZONA- Couriers from the Convoy log a report of a large pack
of mutants bearing automatic weapons setting ambushes along the interstate
freeways in the southern reaches of the state.

OLD MESILLA FORTRESS, NEW MEXICO- The Librarian Templar called the Silver
Nun arrives with a horrible tale. The entire village of Three Rivers, New
Mexico has succumbed to radiation poisoning. Over fifty people were
discovered dead in their homes or laying in the streets. The town is
considered under quarantine until the truth of the matter is unearthed.

SANTA FE FORTRESS, NEW MEXICO- Eddie Panderborn, a Junker from the
Engineer's Society in Arizona logs a report of the sighting of a large
six-legged creature blending the size of a rhino with the teeth and scales
of a crocodile. Panderborn was unable to save his companion, a Syker going
by the name of Melt. The creature was last sighted a day's ride north in the
mountains above the remains of Albuquerque.

YUMA VILLAGE, ARIZONA- Judge Fargo the Law Dog arrives with some bad news.
Surtur, the so-called King of the Raiders, has been broken out of the
penitentiary in Florence, Arizona. Witnesses state that a group of unknown
individuals clad in form fitting black body armor and feature-concealing
helmets staged a daring midday break-in. Over a dozen guards were severely
injured; three died later of complications. Several prison workers swear
that the invaders moved like the wind, seemed to shrug off automatic fire
and went straight to Surtur's cell. None of the thirty-three other prisoners
were even acknowledged. It was also reported that Surtur did not go
willingly. He recognized the assailants and was removed from the prison
grounds by force.
