I was talking about the assassination though if they happened at the same time, then it still helps.
If we take it from FacePunch's post that the riots he mention are the riots that were caused by the Cowl (I don't know what other riots he would be mentioning), then we are on the same page.
@Fallenreaper I didn't name the mayor, but I mentioned a failed assassination attempt during the riots. So there's a potential story there. The only other person who might know would be @NeutralNexus. I seem to remember him mentioning some political figures meeting with the Cowl?
Remember back when the riots were happening and people decided to do that 2-day time skip (and where we basically had two timelines, those still at the riots and those who did the 2-day time skip). When everyone got back onto the same timeline (the 2-day time skip after the riots), Icon, Thunderbolt, and Boom took on Umbraxis. In
this post by NMS, he established that a few days had past since the confrontation with Umbraxis. Therefore, the assassination attempt should not be more than a week old, assuming that the riots that FacePunch mentioned in his reply is the riots caused by the Cowl.
