Two things really took me out of this article.
First is the anomaly being allowed to visit Las Vegas for good behavior. The city is absolutely massive and its knowledge of Authority operations would both make this an extreme security risk even if some tracking precautions were taken.
Second, is the death toll of the recovery incident. It’s not unheard of for police to have to fire on angry mobs, but a triple digit death toll? Even if it were a terror attack like the cover story labels it that is an extreme number of casualties. For reference, 3 people died during the Boston Marathon bombing and 16 at Columbine. Would make more sense if those were injured, not terminated.
Otherwise, kind of just uninteresting. A minor anomalous item with little to consider in terms of origins or implication.
