KAOS2013 @ KAOS

KAOS run twice in 2013, the following is a transcript of the reports from the first running of KAOS in 2013.

Day 1

Today UCT has been plagued with a wave of mysterious deaths. Police were first alerted at seven thirty to a disturbance at Molly Blackburn. Witnesses swear that they heard screaming coming from inside the building but, no victim was found during the initial search. An unnamed police officer has stated that they are looking through CCTV footage from the area but did add that things don’t look promising at the current time. Police are working under the assumption that a crime was committed and one officer let slip the name Laura Barnard.

Police were called back to the campus later at ten in what appears to be a failed attack on a student. The investigators seem stumped by the circumstances that surround this second death as no one has been about to provide a valid description of the killer. An unnamed paramedic that responded to the scene has told the press that he could not see any visible wounds on the victim’s body. When questioned a witness of the even had this to say, “There was a struggle I turned to look and then there was a man lying on the ground moving around he looked like he was in a lot of pain.” The police have released a statement naming the victim as Lee-Or Brittz.

While investigating the second death police were called to the computer science building by campus security. A body was discovered outside room 2A in a large pool of blood. A spray can of deodorant was found on the victim which was referred to by the police is, “weird” and met with tasteless jokes of how the victim must have, “BO problems”. Several first years that were gathered nearby waiting for their class to start have been questioned about the incident.

A group of students around RW James were shocked today when Maciek Stankiewiez fell down dead outside the building. A very emotional female student gave us this statement, “I heard a loud noise behind me when I turned to look I saw him there crawling around in a pool of blood. It was dreadful, I didn’t know what to do,” the student was too emotional to continue with her statement and has been taken to hospital for treatment. The police have now declared this the work of a “single sick individual” and have asked for UCT students to remain vigilant but not to let this person disrupt their classes.

In response to probing by the press the police have issued a statement about the killer; “We are sure that this is the work of an individual who is targeting UCT staff and students. We believe that he may or may not be part of the university. The witness reports that our officers have gathered from today range from a 6 foot tall man with bright orange hair and two scars in the shape of bananas on each cheek, to a bald man with a barcode on the back of his head. As of tonight no arrests have been made.”

More dead at UCT

Police are baffled at what appears to be the second spree killing at UCT in just one (1) year. The recent spate of violence has left four (4) students dead.

Early on yesterday morning police responded to a call from campus security notifying them of the brutal murder of UCT student, known to as at this time only by his first name, Dylan. Witnesses report that Dylan simply collapsed on the way to his morning lectures. Police found a large stab wound in the victims’ back, from what they believe was a long and sharp knife.

Less than 30 minutes after the first killing a gunshot was heard on the UCT campus. Police responding to the first scene quickly rushed to the second. Students have told us that there was much confusion amount the police officer as to where the second shot came from, something that was reiterated by those at the second scene who stated that it took people ten (10) minutes to get there. This comes despite the location of the second scene being outside Lesley Social. Police have defended the length of time taken to respond to the second scene saying that the echo caused by the loudness of the gunshot and the height of the buildings on campus made it hard to pinpoint the location.

At approximately 10:03 AM a second gunshot was heard, police attending to the second scene radioed for help. A witness who was standing close to the second scene heard police discussing about shutting down UCT to protect the students, however the witness stated that it was decided to keep the university open due to fears that the killer may escape with the students. Once more police officers had arrived on campus; the search for the third crime scene began. Moments after the search begun campus security contacted the police with information about a dead student in RW James. Witnesses report that he first officer on the said, “F***, look that the size of that hole.” When questioned about the identity of the victim a witness, who for security reasons will not be named, said, “Given the state of the body you wouldn’t really be able to tell who it is, but I’m sure it is Robert Spencer.” Police found a knife matching the description given to them by the witnesses of the first murder next to the victim, sparking fears that there may be more than one killer.

For almost an hour police went combed the campus for a yet unidentified suspect. During the search the university continued to operate as usual, as requested by the police department. At around 11:00 AM the last shot of the day was heard. Students around the varsity report hearing police officers swear loudly in a multitude of different languages as they ran towards what they believed to be the crime scene. Police found the victim, who witnesses identified as Sean, slumped over in a lecture chair. Police officer described the scene as being, “out of a horror movie. There was blood splattered all over the wall, this is as bad as it gets.”

The SRC released a statement yesterday afternoon informing students that they urged the university to shut down, stating that this would have prevented the deaths of the other two students. UCT was unavailable for comment at the time, however the police have released this statement, “They (UCT) followed the instructions given by a senior officer on the case, they acted in accordance with the law. These decisions have been made by highly skilled people.” In response to this statement the SRC released the following statement, “We are deeply saddened by the police and UCT stance on this issue. They need to know that the blood of those students that died today is on their hands.”

The police are yet to make an arrest in the case, and no suspects have been identified. Police are blaming the lack of progress in the case on bad witness reports of the suspect. A junior officer gave this statement late last night, “They (the witnesses) are being stupid, they tell us that they saw something but it’s always different. No one seems to even know if it was a man or a woman.”
