Rumors of a bloody and brutal attack on factory workers at Trijent Dam emerge and are quickly refuted by W-Y Public Relations Specialists.

“We are sorry for the fear and confusion caused by reckless misinformation” a representative of The Company said in a statement on Friday. “But please do not blame the good people of Trijent. Their mistake was an earnest one. At approximately 22:15 on 10.13.2182 a generator malfunctioned, causing a minor explosion and an extended blackout. Thanks to prompt assistance from one of the U.S.M.C.’s fine vessels, power and peace were restored within a few days. We continue to be grateful for the co-operation and assistance from the fine men and women of the U.S.M.C., and we are grateful for the hard work from the brave people helping to expand humanity’s reach beyond the stars! The Company expects production to resume normal levels in a few days, and no supply chain disruption is anticipated at this time. We do want to announce several part time job openings, so we can permit some of the workers who were shaken by recent events to take a short vacation to recuperate with their families. I’m sorry, but we will not be taking questions today. Thank you.”

Job applications begin to arrive at W-Y HQ, and with them, tucked among the standard employment forms and background check waivers, a single, bloodstained card.
