Los Angeles, California
The west coast celebration of Stephanie “Pink” Aldermain’s birthday was disrupted at 22:15 by a group of a dozen heavily armed and armored men firing explosives into the gathered crowd. Members of IST Los Angeles’ Alpha Team were at the celebration, and moved both quickly and effectively to stop the attackers.
IST Los Angeles’ Field Commander, The Patriot charged the attackers, using his shield and force field to deflect their attacks into the ground and nearby, empty, buildings. Harmonix and The Facilitator were on the wings of the combat, focusing their efforts on bringing the armored attackers under control. Shade was occasionally visible long enough to bring an attacker down before she would vanish again. Only Medved, the Russian Bear, was having difficulty getting to the combat as his great bulk prevented him from moving easily through the crowd.
Though the attackers were highly coordinated they were quickly brought under control. Unfortunately, before they were disabled they caused two deaths, twenty-four injuries, and several thousand dollars worth of damage. As they began to flee, the truck they arrived in burst open and a bipedal weapons platform unleashed a stream of armor piercing bullets at Medved. Medved was perched on a car, trying to find a way to safely move toward hostile vehicle. He was struck numerous times and fell behind the vehicle.
Russian IST Member Vitaly “Medved” Zakhar suffered fatal injuries. He was airlifted to the IST Embassy, but their assigned healer, Le Toucher Qui Guérit, pronounced him dead on arrival. There will be a public memorial service held on Saturday, March 19th at the LA Opera House, next to the Embassy. IST New York’s Alpha Team, including IST Supreme Commander Witchwind, retired Supreme Commander Argurous Astraph, and Stephanie “Pink” Aldermain, are scheduled to be in attendance.
