Disinformation Intensifies

by Jerry J. Vahn

Good news and Bad news ...
 
Always best to start with good news. It appears that the Destroids and the Black Talon suits have a common weakness. At least until they get rebuilt.
 
Max and I used electrical energies on them, and they seemed to be affected more by it. Max blew apart a couple of the destroids, and it really affected the BT's. Ghost's mighty hits wasn't even denting the BT's armor. It probably knocked the person inside around quite a bit though.
 
My electro-static lightning affected them also, not quite as effective as what Max can toss at them though, but still enough to take out a destroid and blow a BT back and away.
 
We were able to stop the destroids and the BT's and most of the fire agents, and there ends the good news.
 
Destroyer is upping the ante. We are being classified as terrorist, which isn't new, but now we are being blamed for starting the fire at the gas station. Ok, yea, Sandcrab did cover it in dirt, but that kept the gas tanks from exploding.
 
When I pulled out the old man Smithers and his grandson from the back of the gas station, I asked them if they had an idea why the station was under attack. Well, it seems that the old man has been giving money to his son Timmy who is possibly in one of the resistance cells.
 
Max had a feeling that we were being set up, and it does look that way. Just as we were getting ready to leave, Socrates lets us know that there is a live broadcast going on. Strange that it shows Gigaton 'hosting' the report about what was happening. He is claiming that we started it.
 
So, I guess it is time that we start fighting back through the media too ...
