It has been two
weeks since the battle for independence and two major events have
occurred in the intervening days:
Thorny vines now wind through the empty spaces between buildings as well as invade once placid gardens and parks. The vines sprout fragrant black roses, that draw the eye as well as the nose. Unfortunately, the flowers as well as their thorns are poisonous to the extreme. Those that consume the buds or are injured by the thorns experience a host of symptoms: fever, chills, profuse sweating, erratic heartbeat, and vomiting. If Chelation agents are not administered within the first 12 hours of exposure, death is a likelihood.
The previous night a number of falling stars were seen to streak through the sky and impact within miles of the town. Those who witnessed the event have stated that the falling streaks of light were humanoid in shape. Witnesses have stated that they have seen a number of men and women wandering through the desert without aim, nude and lightly injured.
