Scavengers in Zone 9!

Magna Petrum is open! Or so the rumours go. Nevertheless the dregs of Dirtside have been drawn to the abandoned ruin of Zone 9.
The "Golden Harpies", known malcontents of House Escher - the House of malcontents, were led by "Lavender" into Zone 9, intent on thievery.

Our sources tell us their first targets were Van Saar contractors who had been assisting with the relief and regeneration of Zone 7. The Archeo-Reclaimers, the Van Saar were attacked by the Escher, who were intent of stealing the vital supplies. 

A firefight ensued the Escher using foul gasses from their toxic drug dealing to hold the Archeo-Reclaimers at bay. A number of Van Saar fighters were laid low, the vile gases corroding their lungs. Of course the Van saar not only recovered but fought back pushing the Escher back, though the scavenging harpies escaped with their stolen cargo. 

Thieving Harpies

Reports have come to light that the Golden Harpies have made their hideout somewhere in the effluent flow from upplate. Frankly it's too good for them if you ask this reporter!
