AM1700 WRAT

Ann Kelso has infiltrated the control center on the upper level of the building where the Apostles of the Apocalypse are managing the rogue satellites, but she is in hiding, waiting on her chance to take action. Jeremy Alcott reports that more citizens have been allowed into the Biodome, which is holding up well so far. Gregory Estefan and his fellow street refugees hold off a gang attack. At Sewarston South Supermall, Daniela Gresham tries to rescue a trapped SSF sniper, while the kidnappers trigger explosions that kill many SSF officers.

Field reporter Gregory Estefan has helped create a safe refuge for many people locked out on the street during the storm, in an unlikely location – a partly-destroyed department store. At the Sewarston South Supermall, Daniela Gresham watches the battle between the SSF and kidnappers from the rafters of the building, 60 meters above the fight – but she is forced to take direct action. Girdrud Schweiger reports on an unsuccessful attempt to take down the rogue satellites that are continuing to stir up the Zulu 11 storm. Rick Allen continues to navigate the chaos on the streets. The situation at Causeway Stadium worsens as ocean surge begins to fill the lower levels. And the Underworld Heap goes into military lockdown.

Zulu 11 is continuing to strengthen, despite now being centered over land. Experts believe it is in fact being fed energy artificially, possibly by rogue satellites, and within 24 hours it may become globally catastrophic. Sewarston is now under emergency military rule, and people are warned to stay off the streets. Sporting venues, and the Oasis Biodome, continue to develop as self-contained refuge centers. All air traffic has been diverted to ground level. And Ann Kelso believes she has confirmed that the Apostles are behind stimulation of Zulu 11, as well as installation of satellite devices to hasten the end of the planet.

Daniela Gresham reports that the chaos at Sewarston South Supermall was instigated by the Apostles of the Apocalypse, and she flees as they pursue her. Rick Allen navigates the streets, and initiates a rescue as he discovers a family that are being attacked. Darius Elian, a Sewarston citizen, reports from weather bunker 37, a fully-supplied, secure shelter below the city that has become a haven for over 2500 citizens – a safe, sealed environment to wait out the storm.

Clarise Porter reports from Causeway Stadium following the Sewerston Maulers’ 6-5 victory over the Brutal Bombers. There is nowhere for fans and players to go as Zulu 11 rages around the stadium, and their only hope is to seal up the doors and try to weather the storm. Meanwhile, Ann Kelso infiltrates the base of operations of the Apostles of the Apocalypse, trying to determine their involvement in the Zulu 11 crisis.

A mirror storm on a scale with Zulu 11 punishes the South Pacific. Air traffic in Sewarston is unable to get out of the sky due to airway system failure. Daniela Gresham continues to monitor the mayhem at Sewarston South Supermall. And on the streets, the weather chaos witnessed by Field Reporter Ann Kelso intensifies as she pursues several Apostles of the Apocalypse to their well-chosen hideout.

Daniela Gresham survives a deadly situation at the South Sewarston Supermall. The Tailthrashers play as if the power of Zulu 11 is driving them on. All the subway systems are shut down and turned into storm shelters. And in a weather bunker deep beneath the city of decadence, Jarlsberg, reporter Miguel Sanchez reports on the impact of the storm.

Katarina Korotkaia reports from the completely submerged Shelburne Island resort, the traffic control systems all shut down over the city of Sewarston, and reporter Ann Kelso confirms that she is still alive, struggling to survive against a gang of looters in the chaotic downtown riot zone

The Sewarston Tailthrashers play their inaugural match at the new Underworld Heap arena, while Sewarston gets its first direct taste of the Zulu 11 Category 7 storm. Reporter Daniela Gresham witnesses a kidnapping at the Sewarston South Supermall, and her report ends with a dramatic gunshot...

The riot in downtown Sewarston worsens, while the storm intensifies and excitement heats up at Sewarston’s sporting venues.
