Greetings Guardians! As you all may know today finally marked the end for the long awaited Crucible Combatants verdict. Three different individuals claiming that their participation in the Tower’s sports area was unfair and decided to sue Crucible Inc. The three combatants, who will remain nameless, are asking for over fifty thousand glimmer in damages and new gear. This high profile case was first brought to Ikora Rey, but she quickly dismissed it. The Warlock seemed satisfied with this, however both the Hunter and the Titan found this biased. We recently caught up with all three fighters to hear their side of the story. Below are samples from our various interviews conducted with these noble Guardians. Titan: “It’s just not fair ya know? Here I am running around and this -censored- Hunter rushed around the corner with a blade and kills my entire team. Reporter: “But he used a knife?” Titan: “That’s not the point! If I get stabbed I expect to live. Period.” Reporter: “Records show that every Guardian can receive one close quarters blow without it being fatal.” Titan: *Scoffs* “Obviously it was charged with arc energy….duh?” Reporter: “And he can do this whenever he wants?” Titan: “About once every three or so minutes give or take…” Reporter: “ Is he immune to damage? Status effects? Anything?” Titan: “No…” Reporter: “I don’t get what’s the issue.” Titan: “It’s just bull–censored- alright? “ The Warlock was unavailable for questioning as he claimed to be, and we are quoting here, “Doing wizard –censored- yo.” We tried to speak with the Hunter combatant, however the interview did not go far at all. Below is what we documented from our encounter with this man. Reporter: “Can you tell us why the Voidwalker powers are unfair and should be banned in the Crucible?” Hunter: “Have you seen this cloak man? I look so badass in this thing! –Censored- Warlocks get dresses and Titans have skirts but we get a –censored- cloak man! I’m a god damn ninja in this thing. Silent like the win-“ Reporter: “That’s great, but can you answer the question?” Hunter: “Dude I even get this awesome electric knife. It goes all BZZZZT, SHING SHING, SHANK on people. I bet those Fallen are scared out of their minds knowing the cloaked mysterious killer is out there…watching…waiting to strike…” Reporter: “What do the Fallen have to do with th-“ Hunter: “Did you know I can even teleport? Watch this Mr. Reporter Man.” The Hunter then preceded to show off his short-range teleport, miss, and hit a docking starship. He suffered three fractures in his left arm and four broken ribs. When the EMTs arrived and asked if he was alright, the Hunter replied with: “Is my cloak ok?” During the trial there was a surprise statement made by an unknown Hunter combatant who spoke up on behalf of the rest of the other fighters not suing Crucible Inc. It was a stirring speech and we were fortunate enough to be present during it. She spoke of honesty, fun and fairness. The Hunter desperately explained to the jury and her peers that no one is overpowered, and if you practice and learn, all of different fighters have exploitable weaknesses. That all men and woman are here to have fun, to enjoy the competition, and to celebrate an grow as a community together. She even went further stating that it’s because of whiney people like the men before her that their powers are removed and weapons debuffed. Truly emotional and inspirational. She was promptly taken outside and sacked by a local crowd. The judge ruled in favor of the three fighters declaring that from now on the only weapons allowed into the Crucible are sticks and waterguns. Unfortunately an anti-stick movement seems to have already begun forming. In other news, the Queen of Reef’s relief fund started to minor success. While she felt that the Guardians lacked adequate armor to fight the Darkness, she did not foresee the fashion faux pa that her armor caused. Over a dozen fights have been reported within the first day of the relief fund’s handouts. Most, if not all, due to other Guardians outraged that their friends are wearing the same outfit as them. Guardians have taken to the Tower’s streets tossing the armor over the railing to the slums below. In unrelated news, the cities homeless death rate has sky rocketed. That’s all for now!
