CRIME WAVE ROCKS CITY
Thommy Bupkiss, staff reporter

NEW AMSTERDAM CITY, NA - The Big Orange has been rocked by a spate of criminal activity the like of which has not been seen in years. Crime rates are at their highest in decades - muggings, robberies, gun crimes, vandalism and murder are all up and the NAPD say they are having increasing trouble in trying to keep order on the streets. Gangs of malcontents roam the alleyways, robbing and killing at will. Worse still, the carnage has led to blackouts, causing security breaches in government buildings, including state penitentiaries.

Mayor Lance Boer has neither confirmed nor denied reports that dangerous criminals - amongst them the deranged Professor Mandrake, the psychotic Black Fury, the maniacal Iron Hand, and the mastermind Portal - have escaped into New Amsterdam's underworld. Nevertheless, sightings of these individuals and their henchmen and allies have been reported.

The city is ready to shake itself apart, and many citizens are calling for the intervention of the unlicensed transhumans that are known to stalk the streets. The Columbian government has responded by urging the renegade transhumans not to take the law into their own hands and act as so-called "costumed vigilantes", instead authorising the deployment of their own transhuman weapon, the mighty Captain Paragon. The People's Hero, as he has become known for his successful missions across the USC, has not yet arrived in New Amsterdam, and criminals are still scoffing at what they believe is an empty threat by the government.

The most recent reports indicate that something more sinister than the crime wave may be afoot. Professor Mandrake - the so-called Doctor of Despair - has allegedly returned to his laboratory in the penthouse suite of millionaire businessman Dale Winters, the ‘Man Who Owns New Amsterdam', and set up shop. If his past crimes are anything to go by, he may be about to unleash a new reign of terror with his monstrous inventions. Unsubstantiated eyewitness reports of his alleged breakout from prison indicate he may have created a machine capable of instantly vaporising metals - a weapon that would enable him to access every bank vault in the city.

Other reports hint that the murderous Black Fury, the behemoth whose transhuman body can smash through concrete and steel, has begun to form his own fledgling crime empire, recruiting from thugs and heavies throughout the criminal underworld.

We will bring you more of this news as we receive it.
