“Dozens of arrests were carried out near-simultaneously last night on various individuals purported to be part of a shadowy organisation known only as the Order of the Dragon. The authorities have refused to mention their source, only stating they they got the tips from an anonymous individual and that investigations are still ongoing.”

“Yet another mass murder scene was discovered this morning in an otherwise empty warehouse within Capital City. Much like the previous dozen that have turned up in various locations, it appears to have been ritualistic in nature, though to what end it is still unclear. Once again, evidence at the scene is apparently inconclusive, and any records of ownership of the building are missing or destroyed.”

“Investigations into the disappearance of Damien Hawkes have uncovered startling new evidence that implicates Charlotta Desmodus as the perpetrator of the numerous, ritualistic mass murders that have taken place since the end of the Crisis. Citizens are warned not to approach her if they find her, but to instead contact the authorities, as she is incredibly dangerous.”
