[EVENT] A STROKE OF SABOTAGE
Characters: ALL
Date: April 16th-April 30th
Location: Keeliai, various
Situation: Just when you think things are working a little too well...
Warnings/Rating: To be added as needed.

It starts small - a few greenhouses have seen their crops wither, and the kedan frantically scramble to find the cause. By the time they do, it’s too late. Three days later, the problem seems to occur in every single one of the major greenhouses and hydroponics stations; plants withered and dead, and several kedan sick and showing signs of Dust poisoning after contact with the water supply. While there were no deaths, all had to go to the Healers Guild and several had severe enough reactions that their stay was more than just a brief treatment and overnight observation.
The initial response from a few of the more superstitious kedan is that the run of bad luck has culminated in the ruin of their efforts. More level-headed kedan will be inclined to take a more scientific approach. Kyde and a number of chemists are called in to take samples.
As one might expect (or not, as the case may be), Dust had been somehow integrated into the water that feeds the hydroponics and greenhouses, which wound up killing the plants and sickening the kedan. While it hadn’t made it into the main water supply for the city, there was clearly enough of an organized effort that it affected the public greenhouses and hydroponics systems. Every piece of equipment that comes in contact with the water will have to be flushed to prevent another die-off. It's a big setback, and the process will take several weeks to complete, reigniting concerns about food shortages.
The culprits even left a calling card - painted on the walls or tarps is a message: MALICANT WILL RISE.
Tensions are high everywhere in the city, and morale is low as the culmination of the kedan and Foreigner’s hard work was ruined and, while they aren’t back to square one, there is an enormous amount of work ahead. Going forward, there is an urgent call for the development of better filtration systems to keep out toxins while still distributing essential nutrients, and better security. The kedan will be looking toward Foreigners for assistance in these matters.

"Frankly- unless you're planning to drop the identity, 'Chat' still needs an affiliation. There's nothing that says you can't be in two places at once, since you kind of... are already in two places at once."
no subject
Wow, Sonja, wow. Does he really look like some sort of sewer hobo?
(He does, he absolutely does)
"Really? Because I'm pretty sure that constitutes as teaching. And I'm still fifty-fifty on the whole...revealing myself to everyone thing. I might do it. Eventually."
It's makings more and more sense to do it. People are figuring it out anyway, now.

She bowed again. "Well, thank you for hearing me out, at least. Obviously, I can't make you do anything."
no subject
"No pressure, huh?"
He returns the bow, smile still on.
"Don't mention it, sorry I can't help you out. I'm sure plenty of people would be up to support the Guild."
no subject
"Honestly, the Foreigner's Guild is just looking like a paper entity for now."
no subject
"Well, there's less of us these days, I guess," he shrugs. "Sorry, wish I could give you a better answer, but I got my heart set already. But hey, I'll put a good word out on the street for you. 'Hey, you've been rescued by Chat Noir: also have you considered joining the Foreigner's Guild? Plugplug.'"
no subject
"Thank you. You really are my hero."
no subject
"You're welcome! Always happy to do some good."
