This is Tracey Klansh reported directly from lakeside in Echo Base. Just earlier today, an incident of unusual proportions happened. Eyewitnesses state that the Echo Base Security were in hot persuit of an unknown fugitive. The fugitive managed to evade capture by taking several hostages before attempting to flee the scene.
E-Sec officials did not manage to catch the fugitive, however, they have managed to ensure the safety of all the hostages. There are reports of massive structural damage due to a gunfight between the fugitive and E-Sec. From E-Sec, themselves, there has been no official word on what happened here today. All we have are the reports that our men and women of E-Sec are doing their best to keep us safe.
"oh my god, chausey, did you see that man jump?!! that man DIED! E-Sec killed a nice young man!" - attributed to unknown civilian, geriatric human female in a muu muu.
