Revolt Halted

The colony on Hales finally has a moment to catch its breath. The replicant revolt was brought to an abrupt halt amid a rain of gunfire at the mines Saturday afternoon.

The replicants had been holding the town under siege for several days, forcing residents to move down into the temporary shelter beneath the medical center. Many residents were on the verge of giving in to the replicants' demands that people leave Hales Moon.

Undaunted, a small group continued to work to free the moon from its captors, believing that resident technical wizard Seana Kawanishi would find a way to reverse the programming.

Early Saturday, Replicant Leader Krenshar Magic was captured, buying time for Aeon to retrieve the work Seana had been conducting. Before Aeon could sort through her notes however, more replicants stormed toe town, freeing Krenshar and retreating to the mines.

Hours later, notes in hand, a group of Hale's Colonists made their way to the moon. Lilybell Snoodle and Cobb compton fought hard to keep the replicants occupied so Gallager Aeon and Mikie Rhiadra could slip in behind the mines undetected.

It took several tense moments for the device to be attached to the mainframe computer, the replicants having realized something was being done had by this time turned their attention back towards the mines.

Once the device was in place an active, the wait began. At first it seemed as though the device didn't work, but eventually the replicants ceased fire.

The fact that they had been tampered with was evident, and now all replicants seem to be functioning normally once again.

However, the ground still remains contaminated with radiation, making the fine particles of dust in the air still very dangerous. All residents are advised to continue wearing appropriate gear until the situation can be addressed.
