From Shaandragael Titanium

Greetings Sisters and Brothers

At 1pm SL time, Saturday November 20th, Freya is teaching a class called 'Simple Flying Machines.'
Now, I'm not sure what qualifies as simple in this age of ships able to fly between stars, but I'm eager to find out.

Hope to see you there, too.

Crime Rate Rising in Shuttleside

SHUTTLESIDE, Paquin - Residents are warned to be careful in the Shuttleside area of Spinwheel City.

The area, just south of Paquin Interplanetary, has seen an increase in muggings and assaults in recent weeks. The narrow streets of the area and the transitory nature of the population have lead to the unwary being targeted by unsavory elements.

Spinwheel Division told the Mercury that the narrow streets prevent patrol by police. Captain Ceasar Otsuka said that the police do plan to increase foot patrols when manpower allows it.
