    Blood stains the ice hours after the shootout on 'The Berg'
    The Vaughn Mining Company is scrambling for tighter security following a deadly shooting which injured one officer and killed another.

    Late this Saturday evening, locals reported hearing distant gunshots and security officers were seen running. Sources say the shots lasted for over five minutes before two masked figures emerged from the lower level elevator and sprinted for the teleporter. No officers pursued the shooters, who teleported away carrying an officer's armor and weapon.

    After the shooters made their escape, an unknown security officer was seen carrying Officer Noburu to the telepad. Noburu lated passed away in a local hospital where the unknown officer was being treated as well. The officer denied any comment and refused to identify himself.

    Many locals were baffled as to why the attacks had occurred in the first place. Some called it a "one off event" while others blamed it on the new Rothsfield Genetics facility that was built recently. They claimed it drew unwanted attention for the colony.

    Vaughn Mining Company was unavailable for comment, though a statement was released promising increased security measures on the icy colony.
