Good day, Detectives. We’ve got a news bulletin from the city straight out of the Candor Newsroom for you to investigate!

First, a notice for detectives currently investigating crime scenes. While similar in look, there IS a definitive difference between Ruby Choice, Ketchup and blood splatter. Make sure you thoroughly inspect your crime scene to ensure proper evidence collecting.

Recent reports state that Synth Beef is approved for consumption across all food boards informing its customers that it is indeed safe to eat raw and it is “Just like the real thing”. This comes amidst citizens reportedly having bouts of nausea and vomiting after consumption.

We are also sending out a BOLO for a potential lead on what the surrounding cities are calling “The Bad Poet” killer. We ask that you report any evidence of this poetry to your local enforcers division.

There has been a surge of black market arms dealers setting up shop in the fathoms, city wide. Anyone discovered to be in possession of one of these rifles should be place on a watch list following an ongoing operation to clean up the streets of illegal weapons and potential sharpshooter assassins.

This has been your June Candor News update!
