Austin

Austin is being ripped apart. Previously the capital of Texas, now it is split down the middle by the CAS/Aztlan border, with half belonging to Aztlan and half to the CAS (when they seem to care). Austin was the birthplace of Lone Star Security Services, so you’d think they’d take a care for what’s happening, but Lone Star stopped caring about people when they started shooting orks and trolls for money. The Austin Lone Star Beat Report is reporting daily on the mini civil war happening along the border between Aztlan troops and Texans and their unlikely bedfellows, the neo-anarchists, and even without being here like me, you can tell by the pics that blood is indeed flowing in the streets. The neo-a’s just offloaded a few trailers’ worth of Narcoject weapons to the CASsians, who suddenly became more willing to shoot their neighbors with non-lethals. Of course, there has always been a good percentage of Texans willing to shoot anything for any reason, so they were quick to load up. For their part, the Aztlaners haven’t been pulling out any big guns or even putting up much resistance. Oddly enough, the citizens caught on the Aztlan side have been the ones doing the fighting. What makes them so passionate about defending their part of the city when even the cops and soldiers aren’t involved is anyone’s guess. This better come to a resolution soon or there won’t be much of Austin left to claim. Still, SxSW and the Westcave Spirit Sanctuary are really cool. Check ’em out!
