SOL CITY CHAPTER TWO FINALE
--------
“...most men and women will grow up to love their servitude and will never dream of revolution.”
― Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

As you may or may not know, if you've been following along closely with all the posts and reading the STAR MESSENGER, we've had an underlying crime drama going on in the background plots of Sol City since near the end of Chapter One when Milo and Paige took down the shifty gangster, Jackie Costa and put themselves at odds with the Detroit-based, Giancana Crime Syndicate. Over the course of this Chapter your character(s) might have influenced this plot unknowingly... Right now this is your Friday morning in Sol City:
- There has been an EXPLOSION at Club Aether. The building has been heavily damaged and is on fire. Much of Sol City Fire & Rescue in on the scene battling the blaze. Early news reports seem to indicate the fire stemmed from a leaking gas-heat source, but perhaps foul-play was involved? More on that later. All security systems for The Run are offline as well as connections were destroyed in the explosion. Luckily, it appears no one was inside the building at the time of the detonation.
- A FIRE has been reported in the upper floors of the MODUS office building and the sleek skyscraper can be seen smoking from a distance. There has not yet been a confirmation on the source of the fire, but it seems the offices of Sol City businessman, Elvin Santos, are near the source of the blaze. Many in Sol City's elite circles will be familiar with Elvin's collection of rare antiquities and art from across the globe. The value of his collection is estimated to be easily in the millions. Fire crews are responding here as well.
- There is a POWER OUTAGE effecting the Luna Sports Facility. The Stadium, Athletic Complex and Grounds are all without hardline phones and power. Many in the usual morning to midday workout phase are finding themselves in a very large and dark building. Crews from Sol City Public Works are making their way to the scene to diagnose what is going on.

THE CURRENT TIME PERIOD IS... FRIDAY MORNING
Weather is mostly clear and cool, partly cloudy. ALL POSTS need to be during this time period and reacting to current events. Please keep references to past skips (i.e.: wrapping up loose ends from Tuesday to a MINIMUM) Notice why we kept asking everyone to get their posts in so much on the last skip? This is the reason. Many of the choices characters made (or didn't make) throughout the course of the game are going to be reflected in the events of the Finale.
Good Luck
May the odds be ever in your favour.
