Here the new Neocronicle :

Neocrons air is boiling. The citizens are wondering what the hell is going on inside the Dome. Large numbers are concerned about the prototype that destroyed the Canyon. However, the goverment of Neocron has not announced any update on this issue, they just told everyone that everything is okay and that the situation is under control. The usual City Admin statement when things are close to getting out of control.
Well, maybe they are right for a change, but on the other hand, a friend who's working for Proto Pharma told me that some experts were sent to collect samples of the soil near the Canyon and to analyse it. They are trying to find out what the initial reason for the enormous blast was.
The results spoke a clear language: The sample showed the same characteristics as a victim of a neutron-emitter weapon would.
I have a feeling that tells me the City Admin is planning something, but we'll have to wait to see what it is.
We will keep our eyes and ears open for our readers. As soon as there are news arround, we'll let you know.

A few days ago, I reported that the City Admin was most likely planning something. Most of the citizens must have noticed it already, I believe. They tried to get their hands on the structural design of the bomb, but the City Admin were not the only who planned to get the construction plan of the bomb. I happened to be present at the scene and watched what happened there. Some City Admin spies found out that the secret lab of the Dome is was located close to one of the entrances of the Dome. So a group of specially trained computer-technicians and soldiers was sent to find the secret laboratory and to download all data found in the database.
When they arrived at the lab there were already a lot of scientists of the Fallen Angels and their allies, the Twillight Guardians, which, as you know, found a refuge in Tech Haven for the moment. We had the suspicion that they were also there to break into the lab to download the data. When this suspicion was confiremed, the battle began. As the Technocrats from Tech Heaven worked & fighted hand in hand with the Rebells, it seems certain, that they turned against the Reza-Government. A fight like this was never seen before, many bodyguards covered the hackers who tried to download the data during the fight. Some of them were able to download fragments of the data but many others payed with their lifes, since the Dome had secured the lab with many soldiers and units.
At some stage, it must have been an hour or more since the troops arrived at the lab, the hackers reported that all accesable data was secured. The battle was looking pretty grieve for Reza's troops, so they withdrew quite soon. At this stage, none of the City's commanders guessed that the Fallen Angels were succesful too. The Fallen Angels downloaded some parts of the construction plans as well. At first, the government troops thought they had gotten all the data about the bomb. When they returned to the City Admin headquater they handed the data to specialists who were to analyse it. When the technicians released their first report, the shock was big. The city forces were only able to get the data related to the detonator and the processing-unit. Silence broke out in the headquarter, but Art Jepherson, being a close assistant to Reza, broke the silence:
"Please don't worry citizens, this is a big step in the right direction and our agents should be able to find out more about the schemes of the bomb. We'll keep you informed."
With these words they sent us home, seems like we'll have to wait to see what's going to happen from now on.
Black Dragon & Tsunami Syndicate:
According to several informants, the situation between the BlackDragons and the Tsunami Syndicate comes to a head more and more. We heard that the BlackDragon arranged a secret meeting with negotiators of the Dome of York because the Dragon cannot stand its ground in the Pepper Park as desired.
In this meeting they volunteered as both new citizens and as military allies to support the Dome of York whereever they can.
The upper ranks of the Tsunami Syndicate must have gotten wind of it since as one of the informants told us, they do not let the matter rest and now want to outbid the BlackDragon's proposal, for which the Dome has already promised an approval. Supposedly, they now try to convince the Dome that the Syndicate is a better ally to support the Dome and to additionally enrich it with its range of products and services. However, they do not want to give the Pepper Park entirely out of their hands and want to continue to control it from afar. Here as well, the Dome is rumored to have given a consent.
The whole thing still looks somewhat suspicious in our eyes and it seems that we will have to see what exactly the Dome now plans.
Now it remains for us to wait and see which of the two factions leaves the Pepper Park when. The citizens of the city can only be all right with this development since thus the Pepper Park would become a by far less dangerous place than now. The City Administration will continue to follow this small war and will from now on keep an even closer eye on the Pepper Park than before.
Interview with Art Jepherson about the current state of the war
Just before our deadline one of our hard-working reporters was able to interview Reza's appointed successor, Art Jepherson, about the current critical situation.
Neocronicle: Mister Jepherson, I have to thank you that you agreed to answer us some questions. I am sure you are quite budy these days.
Mr. Jepherson: Indeed. The war against the Dome of York reaches a critical state. But we are reliant that we will survive these heavy seas without prejudice.
Neocronicle: But why this confidence? You had to fight against the Fallen Angels about the blueprints for the bomb and only got those for the fuze!
Mr. Jepherson: Not only them. But please understand that I can't tell you more here. Nondisclosure can decide about victory or death here.
Neocronicle: Sure. But now that the Fallen Angels reveal that they have their own agenda on the side of the Guardians and we realize that we are surrounded by enemies it is hard to understand how you can be that confident.
Mr. Jepherson: Well, not all Fallen Angels are allied to the Guardians. We have observed the activities inside Tech Haven for quite a while now and there are infights about how to take a firm stand. There are still these peacefull scientists in there and they are not interested in a conflict with us. We are just negotiating directly with them about the missing blueprints.
Neocronicle: You can't really think that the will give you the blueprints they have fighted for that hard that unsolicited, can you?
Mr. Jepherson: If they are as intelligent as the always say, they will!
Neocronicle: Aren't you a bit overconfident at that point? I mean, look...
An assasin recently made it to your apartment - at least that's what I heard.
Mr. Jepherson: But she didn't make it in! You know, assassins are our daily buisiness. I knew that this position would implicate that, you know, I'm just a demanded ambition for criminal subjects in this city. Oh, and in terms of "Black Scorpion": She already has been questioned and executed. So the tracks leads
us to Black Dragon and their counsellor Kirja Iljusha.
Neocronicle: And which steps you will take?
Mr. Jepherson: We will encourage our observation of the Pepper Park, not only because of that, but also because of the looming relationships between the Dome of York and the criminal Pepper Park factions. Someday we'll catch her flat-footed! But now... Excuse me, I have to go back to the headquarter.
Neocronicle: As a matter of course, Mr. Jepherson. Thanks for the interview again!
Though his confidence will appear to some of you a little hyperbolical, you got to remind that probably nobody else is that well informed about the situation of the city like our great leader Lioon Reza and his representative Art Jepherson.
