MASS ESCAPE AT NCR CORRECTIONAL FACILITY
PRIMM - This morning, prisoners of the NCR Correctional Facility near Goodsprings and Primm took control of the complex after a bloody riot. In an attempt to extend a rail line from Camp McCarran to the Mojave Outpost, the NCR had deployed their prisoners to blast holes through hills. Instead, the prisoners turned on the guards using dynamite and mining equipment.

NCR Guards fled to a nearby NCR encampment outside of Primm. Their last report suggest the prisoners, calling themselves "Powder Gangers" will be spreading outward from the facility to raid and wreak havoc on trade along the Long 15. This could be devastating for towns such as Goodsprings, which has seen trade dry up in the past months due to increasing Fiend, mutant, and creature activity on the way from Goodsprings to New Vegas.

Sheriff Jim McBain of Primm advised all citizens of the town to remain indoors as its likely that the escaped convicts will soon sweep through the area. Lieutenant Hayes of the NCR told this reporter that he will do his best to prevent the Powder Gangers from spreading beyond Primm should they arrive in strength, but he lacks the manpower to protect the town itself. Seems to be a common theme when it comes to the NCR in the Mojave.

COURIER LEFT FOR DEAD IN GOODSPRINGS
GOODSPRINGS - Yet another worrying event in Goodsprings. A package courier on his way for a delivery to New Vegas was found shot in the head and buried in a makeshift grave up in Goodsprings Cemetery by a securitron. The securitron brought the courier, in a comatose state, to Doctor Mitchell, where the doctor was awakened and immediately rushed to aid.

"Well, he's finally stabilized," Mitchell said in between wiping sweat off his brow. "Gonna have to do a lot of digging around to get that bullet out." The Courier appears to have been shot in the head by an unknown assailant. We do know that whatever package the Courier had been carrying is now gone, most likely taken by the gunman.

Locals inhabitants of Goodsprings struggled to think of a culprit. Many suspected it was the local wildlife that did the courier in until news of gunshot wounds arrived. There was a common theme, however, in the locals' theories -  a suspicious man in a checkered suit, followed by Khans, that came in through Goodsprings and left earlier before the Courier arrived. As to the man's identity, or what was in the package, none could say for sure. "Well-spoken, that's for sure," local bartender Trudy told us. "Most likely some honcho with connections at the Strip."

As for the courier, Mitchell said it would be a miracle if he pulls through.
