Welcome Viewers, to this pay per watch Trid.
On Thursday 20th March, in 2057, after the assassination of Dunkelzahn, Lucien Cross left his Manor in Seattle for a well deserved
vacation in the Carribean League, after an exhaustive year of running Lucien Cross Technologies, sponsor of NewsNet.
A week after his vacation had begun, on the 28th of the same month, LoneStar Police [Official Sponsor of NewsNet] were alerted to a break in
at his manor.
Apparently, strong synthesized Barghest venom acid had been used to destroy a man [or Troll] sized portion of
the electrified perimiter fence.
From there, the [presumed] Shadow team then went on to destroy the Main doors in order to gain access to the main building.
In the process of stealing the painting, Seraphim, the group killed many servants, whose bodies are yet to be found, and destroyed the expensive
automated security system, consisting of a few self targeting Uzis.
The team are suspected of containing an insect Shaman, as several Bugs were found dead at the scene, killed by valiant LoneStar employees.
LoneStar police were unable to apprehend the villains, even with the use of their state of the art weaponry, because of the threat to civilian lives.
Three weeks later, and a disturbance was reported in a corporate warehouse.
By the time LoneStar had arrived at the scene [the owners of the Warehouse having only bothered to subscribe a Basic Service from LoneStar]
the fight was over. Several Corporate Workers were found dead there, as well as some corporate bodyguards [including a Physical Adept]
, and evidence was found of Grenade Launcer use.
In addition, it is apparent the Insect Shaman may also have Toxic affiliations, as a horrific dog creature was also found dead at the scene, slain by a clumsy Shadow Runner ally.
The Seraphim painting was found destroyed at the scene.
A substantial reward on the apprehension of these villains still stands at 600,000Y each.

We did so, incidently killing some bugs already there. We don't know the story woth that.
Then we got screwed over by the Johnson, and we had to run or get lead bullets in our vital organs. Then I realised we could trace the transaction of
money from our accounts. Normally Shadowrunners don't do this because noone hires a regular poker, but in this case it was justified.
We weren't going to get good reps if we let anyone frag us. We found out that the company that hired us was a subsiduary belonging to Lofwyr.
Damn right we were scared. We stormed that place where a mage was doing drek to an employee and manipulating the bodily structure. We think the portrait had magic powers somehow.
That might have something to do with the bugs... We killed the people there, and that bastard dog. Almost took us down. We haven't a fraggin clue what's goin on, but
it doesn't sound good. If anyone knows more on this, we'd like the info. We can pay.]<<<<<

Stop trying to plug money out of hapless fools.]
