[i][color=gray] [center][h3]LARGE EXPLOSION AT GLADWOOD LABS, THREE DEAD, TWELVE INJURED[/h3][/center][hr][sup]06-22-927[/sup][/color][/i] [indent]Two years after the death of G. Mercer, tragedy once again strikes Gladwood Laboratories–this time in the form of an accidental explosion. Shortly after 20:00 PM on 06-21, the floor of a research laboratory caught fire due to a spilled chemical. Evacuation and containment procedures proceeded as normal, with the local firefighting scene on the way. Unfortunately, the chemical fire made its way to a storeroom of unrefined pentium crystals, causing a large explosion that destroyed most of the lab’s basement, as well as the left wing. Three people have been named as casualties.[/indent]
