News Reports
RIOTS CONTINUE IN SOUTH AMERICA, AFRICA. Although reports are inconsistent, it has been confirmed that widespread rioting in poverty-stricken regions of Africa and South America, as well as some parts of Indonesia, Asia, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe, have continued and only grown in severity. "It's obvious this is a social media effect," said political science professor Dr. Ely Savage. "Economists have been saying for some time that the current situation of developed nations forcing underdeveloped nations into semi-slavery couldn't last, and now we're seeing the repercussions."
THE MAN BEHIND THE RIOTS. [Photograph: Interpol identification photograph of Qiang Ye, taken in Maastricht airport in June, 2019.] Our sources in the UN have informed reporters that the investigative committee in charge of the riots currently engulfing most of the world, nicknamed the "FriendFace Riots" for the role of social media in spreading the violence, are the work of a discredited Chinese hacker and alleged intelligence agent, Qiang Ye. Ye is wanted by Interpol for his involvement in a cyberterror attack on Dutch banks in 2018 that led to billions of dollars of losses for European banks. The Chinese government has disavowed any connection to Ye since 2015. "One man, with an army of well-programmed bots at his control, could certainly be behind this," said Dr. Ely Savage, a professor of political science at Berkeley and our expert correspondent on the riots. "Social media is very susceptible to this sort of influence."
Lab Notes
XE037 revivification has reached critical levels, which are rapidly overwhelming the available military and regional police assets' ability to stop. Every team in the field has encountered hostile specimens, and several are no longer responding to communications. Dr. Savage has proposed a strategic redeployment to the underground complex known as the VAULT, and continuing production of PE062 there.
