Dear Diary,

Stuff is getting crazy in Aurora, at least from what little news we can get here on the Re-ed campus. See, there was a terrorist attack around the turn of the e-month. AUR-4 got hit hard by Broken Chain ….. a residential block leveled and a bunch of dead ….. and Klorman Syndicate supposedly linked Paula Broadway from the Emancipation Network to the whole thing. They boarded her ship, brought her out gagged and naked, said she would be put on the dock for a public confession in a few days.

But that hasn’t happened.

In fact, various trickles of information from outside seem to be pointing toward some scummy stuff. First of all, Broadway’s Emancipation Network is reporting from a Free Zone that the “terrorist attack” was actually a cover-up for illegal slave trading by Klorman Syndicate. Secondly, rumors have it that Klorman’s golden boy, Capt. Noah Watanabe, might have brain-wiped Broadway in the field, and that’s why there’s been no confession.

Thirdly, if any of that is true, then there could be some serious problems with other syndicates. Paula Broadway has only been like the biggest person of interest in the history of human law enforcement. To actually pin a crime on her is a political holy grail. For a decorated officer to take it upon himself to just erase her brain in order to hide his own skeletons (or those of somebody above him—like his chancellor candidate daddy!)….

I wish I wasn’t stuck here in Re-ed, because I’d really like to dig and find out what’s really going on here.

The reaction planetside has been building steadily these last couple of weeks. Demonstrations are getting bigger and more tense by the day. Honestly, this has been slowly boiling in the background since Earth executed Sage Gallows a few months back. Now syndicate troopers everywhere are supposedly going into mass-arrest mode, and KSS is no exception. A few days ago, nearly five hundred people got stripped, cuffed and loaded onto police buses at Orboren Plaza, and just this morning about fifty nude SSU students got full-body whippings in front of the main student center.

Amazingly, Ginger and Roxie were not among the punished, which gives me a nice transition from big matters to smaller ones.

So…. I know what you’re wondering, and the answer is no, I haven’t talked to Roxie or Ginger about the nipple-pinching incident. Circumstances haven’t been great, but I’ll just be honest. I’m a total coward, and there just isn’t much else to it.

I’m not getting drop-dead looks from either of them, so I guess that’s something.

Jin was so easy to talk to. I miss her.

Gotta scarf down this veggie sandwich and be on the drill grounds in thirty. Till next time.

Sincerely,

Blaire
