============<* Autobot GBS - Reports *>========================== Message: 2/15 (6w 5d)             Posted        Author Armory Explosion                  Oct 28 2019   Tachyglossus -- At [DATE:TIME] there was an explosion in the Decagon Armory on B1. Automatic emergency fire suppression and containment systems activated to stop the damage from spreading to other levels. First on the scene was Starlock. Several mechs were injured, but among whose injuries were minor enough to assist in rescue and evacuation were Skyshredder.

Fire suppression teams were dispatched by Hot Spot and other medical staff set up to administer first response aid and safely get the wounded to the repair bay.

Despite the best efforts, one mech, Specialist Longboom, perished. Investigation is ongoing, but the cause of the explosion seems to be accidental after a preliminary assessment.

Safety mechanisms managed to protect most of the ammunition stores from going up in flames, and it was mostly the testing area that was damaged. Crews are working hard to get the armory repaired and cleaned up, and certain sections will be out of service temporarily, as will one of the lifts.

Tack, who was among those that survived the blast, will be replacing Longboom once he's recovered. Sadly, some of Longboom's guarded prototypes died with him.

Regardless of what is found to be the cause of the explosion, let this be a reminder to observe all safety protocols in the armory. Weapons and explosives are not toys.

Included is a report of the mechs injured in addition to the aforementioned fatality.

OOC: Probably give it about 3 days IRL before the armory is 'back to normal'. This is meant to be a one-off and not part of any TP.
