-Several people have been enquiring at bars and faction bases about a hunter called John Peel. No bounties have been posted yet, but offers of cash for stories, sightings and verifiable information have all been made. The level of interest would suggest a certain degree of fame but as yet no-one seems to have heard of him.\\
+Several factions and organised freelancer groups have carried out some quite public executions of what they are claiming were Government infiltrators. It isn't clear how they were identified, but it does seem to be a strange coincidence that several happened within a couple of weeks of each other.\\
 \\
-Stories have come in about someone slaughtering bandits along some of the more popular courier routes. The violence all seems to be at the hands of a single individual wearing a suit of armour that seems to be utterly impervious to small arms fire. It isn't clear exactly why this individual is on this rampage, but there are more than a few suggestions.\\
+The Truthers in particular have been displaying a very uncharacteristic level of brutality, with two members being taken out of a base camp and nailed to nearby trees before being shot dead 24 hours later. A couple of Awakened watching over the Truther camp reported that both victims had wounds on their left forearms consistent with something being cut out of them.\\
 \\
-Several freelancers have been openly expressing support for at least some of Elias's ideas. Whilst they're not on board with the bombings and the terrorism, the idea that freelancers are getting the shitty end of the stick is taking hold and many are advocating for some kind of organisation or union to represent all the freelancers in negotiation with the bars, rather than competition or conflict.\\
+A former corporate security officer turned freelancer has been telling tales of a band of freelancers that assaulted his employers and forced him to flee (hence his abrupt career change). He doesn't bear any particular ill will, business is business, but he is telling a curious tale about a red sky hitting them all mid-fight. The freelancers outside the buildings all collapsed, as would be expected, but when the red sky ended they all got up again. The tale has gotten a little outlandish in the re-telling, but the core fact remains. Someone has the means to survive the red sky. Tech like that is worth a fortune...\\
-\\
-The last three or four surviving Hidden are trying to reconstitute the faction. Very few observers give them much hope of success, but a handful of less scrupulous individuals have noted that the Hidden have a large archive of unethical scientific work squirreled away somewhere that must be worth a fortune. It's likely to be very lightly defended...\\

-Someone, somewhere is brewing their own beer on a scale large enough to sell it. There are very few takers for some reason.\\
 \\
+Yet another in a long line of religious cults has flared up, but in this case it doesn't appear to be locals suddenly finding religion, rather a group of fanatics has made their way into the Zone and set themselves up here. Very few people have encountered them directly but those who have met them say they seem to be a pleasant enough bunch, and nowhere near as evangelical as others have been.\\

+Elias is finally dead. The Bars have reported that their collective bounty has been claimed and the proof of death was considered highly reliable. He was reportedly found in the last of the grey masks and has been identified using the only known photograph of him. Concerns have been raised amongst some more long-standing Zone residents that Elias's list of complaints is still outstanding and it's only a matter of time before someone else steps up.\\
+\\
+Scavengers have reported several dead combatants around a destroyed container. They were a strange mix of soldiers, freelancers and a couple of known faction members, but they all had some kind of device implanted at the base of their skull. The scavengers have sold the devices on, but have been quite free with the story of what they found.\\
+\\
+The trio of German influencers appears to be no more. A very substantial bounty was raised on them, and two of the three bounties were collected very, very quickly. The hunt is on for the third influencer but a great many freelancers have said they will not make any attempt on this bounty. Quiet enquiries are being made as to who raised the bounty on three unarmed entirely harmless civilians.\\
+\\
+An as yet unidentified individual has been distributing bacon sandwiches at various freelancer hangouts and outside the Bar. It isn't clear why, what they hoped to gain by this or where they got the bacon. The last question is proving to be the main sticking point, with the saga of the lamb salesmen suddenly looming large in people's minds and those who consumed the sandwiches are suddenly rather concerned at their own lack of foresight.
