One anonymous officer in the Chavez ranks stated, "It's crazy. All this bloodlust. The sad part is, everyone is doing my men in just to win approval from Shou Tzu. Why do they have to come get us anyway? We are just trying to mine and scratch out a living." When approached for comment Shou Tzu simply ignored this reporter.

To date well over 10,000 different pilots have gone on sorties against the Chavez clan, with very few failures in their missions. Now there appears to be a trend in that some pilots go out there just to kill, and the wrecks are not even salvaged. When asked about this, my Chavez source commented "Disgraceful, killing my men, and not even making use of the equipment left behind."

So we are left to wonder how long this trend will continue. Is this just a fad that will pass? Or instead is it the visible clue of a much darker time yet to come?

For Net-7 SOL, this is Shea.
