The news anchor's voice was steady and practiced.
"Two days ago, there was an attack on District Seven of Sector 516, located in the lower regions of the Outer Zone. It was during this attack that Adam lost his life while attempting to defend his district… and his sector."
The camera shifted.
A woman appeared on screen, her lips pressed together. For a fraction of a second, the professional mask cracked. Pain passed across her face before she spoke again.
"Adam had been a rising star. His prospects were high. His future bright. Not only did he single-handedly take down a mutant rift while still not in the official ranks, he was also the major contributor to the only sector, out of the one hundred trapped within barriers, that successfully disabled their own."
Her voice wavered, just slightly.
"That is why his passing pains not just us… but all those he saved."
The broadcast cut to a different angle.
"Here with us is the manager of the Mission Hall of Sector 516, Mr. Charles."
