Sam's research uncovers quite an eventful day.
There is news of Steelhand being arrested and charged for massive property damage amongst a large number of other charges, with five structures suffering 'major' damage and two buildings 'beyond repair'. At least thirty cars have been destroyed beyond all recognition when the metal controlling Special struck a multistorey carpark at some speed. Steelhand refuses to identify any co-conspirators, and the grudge with Sigma Sync is assumed to be personal in nature.
He is suspected to be part of a conspiracy to destroy Sigma Sync, and has been incarcerated at a 'secure location', which, given his powers, means a completely metal free facility. Can't be too many of those around.
The damages included a large number of injuries from Steelhand's rampage include fifty wounded, seven who are severely injured, and twenty missing, suspected to be trapped under rubble(though comments suggest that some may have been 'pancaked'). A call for Specials who can use their senses through rubble or pass through and rescue victims has been put out, as well as a general call for any Specials who can conduct controlled demolition of an 'anomalous' structure and certified Special healers. No renumeration is mentioned except for the healers Specials.
Sigma Sync is expected to shut down for repairs and recovery for the next quarter, so that reconstruction can be carried out. While no official word from the company has been released, anonymous sources say that some prototype Tinkerwork equipment has been removed from the premises and that "we're all fucked".
Finally, on a bulletin board, a user called LegoRulez claims that the Specials who defeated Pyrebird are Kaleidoscope and Horizon, with a fanciful story of being rescued by the two heroes from yesterday's disaster. He is met by some skepticism, as his story has little to substantiate his claims. Naturally enough, as he couldn't tell the tale without revealing his own part in it as Slinky. You'd think he would be more careful about linking his secret identity with an incident like this.
