Solace House attacked.             Sat Dec 07    BH News Services

On the main news bulletins and front pages of newspapers today:

In yet another terrifying attack by the terrorist group plaguing the
metahuman population of Beacon Harbor, two explosive devices were found at
Solace House yesterday evening.
        The BHPD received the call warning of the attack a little before
midnight last night, and Solace House was immediately alerted. The staff
executed a swift evacuation, and the bomb squad were able to disarm the
devices before they could be set off.
        The charity, set up to help the metahumans that come into the
city, is the latest target of the anti-meta group, Humanity's Fist, who
have planted bombs at residences, businesses and public places over the
past few months. Solace House's benefactress, Adrienne Rathborne, had this
to say:
        "In truth, we had been expecting such an attack. Solace House
gives metahumans a chance at a life in Beacon Harbor, and it is clear that
this is what this group do not want metahumans to have. A chance at a
life. I am simply glad that we were warned in time, and that no-one was
hurt. Thanks to the speedy response of the emergency services, the House
was saved. I can only hope that the next target is as fortunate."
        Ms Rathborne also sent pleas to the group to stop their campaign
of fear and violence, a sentiment echoed by citizens all over the city.
Accusations have been levelled at City Hall about the lack of action being
taken to deal with this menace, and a spokesperson for Mayor Wilkins gave
this statement:
        "The fine men and women of the BHPD are doing everything that they
can to combat this threat to the safety of our city. The City does not
condone discrimination of any kind, nor the destruction and tragedy that
this group has been causing, and every effort is being made to bring these
dangerous criminals to justice."
