Atom Honoring Injured Player Firestarter
While creatures and other dangers are not as dangerous as they once were, it does not mean all threats are dead. In an apparent pirate raider attack on the Atom Cats Garage settlement, the tournament there was partially disrupted when a raider mini nuke attack took the lives of three and injured 12 others.
One of those injured was pitcher Faye Firestarter of Atom. Firestarter was in a market area when the explosion and shrapnel blasted nearby. Firestarter is clinging to life right now, which is the most important news. In terms of baseball, he is probably done even if he survives.
According to general manager Danny Sloghill, Firestarter was in surgery for severed limbs and also given a concoction of Radaway and other chems to attempt to reverse the extreme blast of radiation shot out of the raiding party's Fatman.
A Brotherhood patrol has also reported that it discovered the raiders' boat, and the boat and its crew have been eliminated. In the meantime, the settlement of Atom Cats Garage is cleaning up another senseless attack. The Brotherhood patrol will search islands off the coast to see if they can find a raiders HQ.
