Via Arno Wessig, Dwick Dwickcast Syndykyt Rag Babetown, ILLIUM - Gunfire and explosions are rattling the streets of Illium’s most infamous city today as civilians mount a resistance against its central police force, the Dwick Dwickcast Syndykyt’s Corporate Security department. The department declared martial law on the city earlier this week, a move that appears to have largely backfired. “It’s definitely a bit of a pickle out there,” said DDS Interim Security Chief Lepetomay when reached for comment. “[It] seems there are those in our borders that would recreate that whole Dwickfall kerfuffle four years ago. But let me tell you, Mr. and Mrs. Citizen: your friendly police officers at Dwickcast CorpSec are doing everything we can to keep that from happening.” Those on Nos Dwicka’s streets have had a less charitable description of the situation. Members of the city’s primarily-krogan district of Babetown, for instance, have reported skyrocketing cases of police brutality, complete with multiple accusations of alleged crimes being ignored or outright committed by the police force itself. “Residents here have done nothing but run for safety,” accused Drau Nunda, a local kowla wrestler working for the district, speaking within her barricaded Babetown home. “If they’re caught out on the streets, they’re beaten within an inch of their lives! Gangs are roaming freely; where’s the justice in that?” “The asari abandoned this city to start over in New Nos Astra,” said Odrogar Khas’bath, a former Artisan-caste batarian who now does repair work in Babetown, “so this is our home now. And some third-rate hack calling himself a chief is not going to lay the blame on us for turning it into the [expletive]hole it was!” Odrogar’s sentiments were echoed by his brother, Ikomak, who has been charged with breach of curfew while under martial law. “Dwick wasn’t perfect, but his company still provided jobs for us, gave us a fighting chance,” Kas’bath said from his prison cell. “If anyone knocked us down, it was CorpSec and their hold on the neighborhoods. It’s what kept the slums what they were. We lived in fear of them and the gangs they corresponded with.” “Mr. Lemalein Lepetomay has a record of abusing his station of power,” said Nella Yelisi, a salarian councilwoman who organizes business within the district. “Most of the residents in Nos Dwicka have lived here since the days of the Tyche Vidcast Syndicate. The actions of he and his men mirror what used to happen on a regular basis.” Nos Dwicka CorpSec, meanwhile, has turned many of these indictments on the citizenry itself, accusing many of these spokespeople of committing the very crimes they have complained about. “Now, I would never accuse Mr. and Mrs. Citizen of breaking the law, but this is projection, plain and simple. Ever since Mr. Dwick’s death, there has been a power vacuum in play,” said Mr. Lepetomay , referencing recent unconfirmed allegations of Mr. Dwick’s passing. “Is it really all that surprising that every criminal in the city is coming out of the woodwork, trying to tear down the best leadership available in these trying times? Is it surprising at all that, even now, there are those that would take us back to the chaos following the war?” There are those within the Dwickcast Syndykyt’s power structure that would disagree, however. “Mr. Lepetomay assertion of a power vacuum within the executive powers of the Syndykyt are baseless and false,” stated Prundil Bodum, former personal assistant to Mr. Dwick and Executor of his estate. “Mr. [Dwick] took great care to coordinate the transfer of his worldly belongings, including control of the company, before his alleged death. These affairs are being tended to by Ms. Drau Lura, along with matters involving curing the ailment that struck him down. There has been no communication between Messrs. Lepetomay and Lura regarding the institution of martial law. Any assertion thereof by the former is scurrilous, fatuous and invalid.” Mr. Lepetomay had no comment regarding any communications between the Executive and Security wings of the Dwickcast Syndykyt. Instead, he Noted that, as interim Security Chief, he has been invested with the authority to decide matters of security for greater Nos Dwicka. “Unlike Mr. Dwick’s girlfriend, I was picked for my job and wasn’t chosen on account of my intimacy with my boss,” stated Mr. Lepetomay , referring to Ms. Lura. “Given the difficult times we live in, it would be greatly appreciated if she were to leave affairs of the city’s safety to me.”
