A Single, Fatal Spark
The descent into civil war began with an event that many in the Lower City felt was forced upon them—a parade designed for Upper City elites to venture down and observe a world they have otherwise ignored.
The profound divide between the two populations had long fostered quiet tensions, but no one could have anticipated the abruptness of the bloodshed. The peace shattered when an altercation during the parade culminated in an Upper City attendee drawing a weapon and shooting a Lower City resident. That single, sudden attack was the catalyst for the devastation that followed.
"One moment there was music, and the next, only screaming," recalled a surviving local, their voice hollow with shock. "It wasn't a battle at first. It was just a senseless killing. Their bots and soldiers descended upon all of us and started firing into the crowds. I was lucky to make it out of there alive."
Four Days of Unrelenting Subjugation
What began as a localized tragedy on the parade route has been met with a disproportionate and overwhelming military response from the Upper City, while local fighters sprang into action, seeking to punish the unwanted guests in their homes. Heavily armed forces have been sent down en masse, turning the areas surrounding the city's structural pillars into battlegrounds between the Upper City's soldiers and mechs, and the corporations, mercenary companies, and freelance fighters that have long dominated the Lower City's ecosystem.
For generations, the Lower City had managed to carve out a difficult but resolute independence, living outside the jurisdiction of the city above them, and instead allowing themselves to be governed by a self-appointed council of local oligarchs. Now, that autonomy is being systematically threatened, as the Upper City continues to assault key points of infrastructure and the private facilities owned by the Lower City councilmen.
A Scarcely Breathable Grief
As the conflict enters its fourth day, much of the infrastructure of the Lower City has begun to collapse, and the estimated death toll continues to climb as civilians attempt to evacuate or seek shelter in corporate-sanctioned bunkers. Basic necessities have vanished, hospitals are overwhelmed or reduced to rubble, and many families remain trapped in the crossfire of a conflict that shows no sign of abating, while the streets remain choked with dark, heavy smoke, blotting out the light of the upper levels.

- Yes, I will keep fighting.
- No, you can't stop me.

I'm sure there's a few that wont be happy to hear this but hey .. I aint goin just sit around safe in a hole in the ground while a world ends this time.
Was out doing my usual and came across a family tryin to hide in some rubble. Couldn't just leave em so I took them to one of those evac places. In the process of doing so I learned something interesting.
If you shoot fancy space armor in the face with a couple phosphorus AP rifle rounds, one of three things usually happens:
1: Whoever's inside is surprised by a new sun attached to their face plate.
2: The visor gets hot enough that the armor stops being as clever, and the next AP round gets to make a new friend.
3: They suddenly remember they had somewhere else to be at remarkable speed.
Phosphorus AP rounds make a surprisingly convincing counterargument.
Science is neat aint it?

For once we are all united in this big city, Fighting for what is ours.
We have lost many souls: loved ones ,friends, family And all of the above .
Let us all remember our fallen as the brave souls that they were fighting alongside of us, fighting till their last moments.
And let's make sure that their souls rest in peace Knowing that we kept on moving forward That we kept on fighting.
I know all of you are beaten and bruised some even delirious and lost.
But do not lose hope, We are here for each other We are here to keep moving together and we shall pick up each other until the end.
