Borneo; A Collection of Short Stories from Yavva

REPORT ON HORSEHILL RIOTS

An incident occurred at the hills of La Tulpe, along with the growing revolution, members of said movement which appear to have stormed the hills en masse, claiming to be disillusioned by the rich dissident who as it appears from their perspective, has not been a significant part, even so far as to say they hinder the ongoing revolution.

Part of this may be due to the fact that the upper class citizens of Yavva has been living a lavish lifestyle compared to most of the country, and this fact is corroborated by the evidence that these upper class citizens had agreed to build a massive wall around their residence, separating them from the rest of society.

This, coupled with the fact that these citizens were able to enjoy delayed taxes due to their contribution to the kingdom, has made an uproar in the community.

As a middle class citizen myself, I sympathize with their ideas, yet the riot itself seems to have gone too far.

Among the rioters, it has been reported that some member of this high class community has joined in on the movement and is suspected to be the ones to allow the crowd inside their gated community.
Among them, some have reportedly seen notable figures such as the singer Hectore Rajasa, biologist Dr. Sicily Silvia, martial artist Canalom Hexazam, and playwright Lee Kwang Dae, the latter which has been reported to even go so far as burning down his own house in protest (the man is quite eccentric in his own right.)

Of this occasion, Seltene Fische has informed me about the details of the riot, he had also received a tip that hidden amongst the wreckage of Mr. Kwang Dae's house was a book hidden beneath the garden inside his home which contains a detailed journal of events surrounding the uprising. Seltene himself said that he acquired this info through a drunk Kwang Dae boasting at a bar, (I suspect the man was close with Mr. Kwang Dae, and knew that he is involved with Athens, and has through some miracle of self control, has decided to not reveal everything to Mr. Seltene.) I have asked Mr. Seltene if I was allowed to publish the writings in this journal, maybe uncover some truth behind the uprising.

Keeping in mind that I am an unbiased P.I., I would report everything without bias, seeing as Mr. Kwang Dae himself is involved in the uprising. I would try to pose a debate, letting the readers pick their own perspectives.

As requested by Seltene, I have explored the grounds in which Mr. Kwang Dae's house once stood. The area is heavily guarded by the authorities, a thorough search of the house is underway, they are in the process of rummaging through the collection of Journals of Mr. Kwang Dae.
I have requested that any Journals not important to the case to be sent to my address, I would study and if possible, publish some works -in accordance to our agreements- of him, that is if Mr. Kwang Dae himself allowed me to publish these unrelated works.

Luckily enough, the garden has been left undisturbed by the authorities, I would return later tonight to excavate the garden.

Late Night.

I was able to get inside the Horsehill Gated Community with my Press pass, and was allowed to investigate further, I had asked the cop who was assisting me to search for some unpublished books located in Mr. Kwang Dae's study as a distraction.

Sure enough, in the garden just underneath a melted plastic pot where Seltene had directed me to, was a box surrounded by some dirt to secure it. Inside, a thick book, clotted in ash and partially rotted out due to the inferno. I quickly secured the journal under my shirt and tied my jacket around my waist to secure it. Then carefully closed the hole with the melted pot again.

The officer returned with some books as I looked around other parts of the house, taking some pictures along the way. I thanked the officer and went straight back into my office to study the book.

As written above, I was able to acquire more than the Journal of Mr. Kwang Dae, I was also able to get my hands on some extra stuff, and of this, as promised, I will write some of the interesting stories Mr. Kwang Dae has experienced. These other stories detailing experiences that are not related to the uprising would be published normally, as a simple digestible read, a break from the politics of the nation to relax the mind of the audience.

Side note; I have seen Mr. Seltene's Porsche hanging around Athens HQ, he seems to be a contractor of some sort, probably the reason behind his curiosity towards the PMC. If my assumptions were correct, this man may be deciding if he should support them like his friend, Mr. Kwang Dae, or should he pull out from said 'contract'.
