> Local Power Outage in Saffar Oasis, Rogue Sandcrawler Suspected Cause
A minor power supply interruption occurred in the Saffar Oasis, located in the Persian Gulf region, early this morning. Initial investigations by local authorities suggest the cause was contact with or vibration from an uncontrolled autonomous computer, a "Wild Sandcrawler," that had been roaming nearby. The outage temporarily disabled several residential structures and a small pumping facility within the oasis, but no injuries have been reported. The People's Technical Committee announced it is attempting to track and control the sandcrawler in question. Amidst increased activity by factions opposing the Asharaf Agreement, anxiety among local residents regarding "Wild Sandcrawlers" is further escalating.
