REBELS FLEE CITY,
ESCAPE MAGISTER PERSECUTION
By Liberty Jones
The Rebel Mechanics made a daring last-minute escape from a magister sweep, safely removing all their machines from the city, one step ahead of the redcoats.
Acting on a tip from a well-placed source, the rebels vanished as if by magic, leaving the authorities baffled. Imperial soldiers made a house-by-house search of the entire neighborhood surrounding the Mechanics’ alleged headquarters in an attempt to round up the rebel leadership and their machines, but the wily Mechanics outwitted them yet again.
