News playing over the Television:

Scientists are baffled as to the origin of this mysterious light wave that caused all the electrical appliances and equipment burn out due to the sudden influx of current. Experts speculate that it seems to be an electromagnetic pulse of massive proportions – in fact, some have even called it equivalent to a solar flare but there is no explanation for the event. Could this be another 'sign' of aliens visiting earth? Or is it, once again, a covered up government project?

Headlines of the Oulphesden Times:

Miracles: Are we blessed?

Yester eve, a mysterious light wave spread around a ten kilometer diameter, apparently out of nowhere. The origin of the light wave, however, is the least of the citizen's concerns as they celebrate the miraculous recoveries of their loved ones in the city's main hospital – Oulphesden Central – which was engulfed in the mysterious light. Citizens are calling it the Healing Dragon and footage recovered from several locals is the source of this name. Several recordings, put up on your-tube, show a massive dragon formed of light, rising and spreading its wings, engulfing everything under its wing span. Eyewitnesses claim it was all too fast to really register but video footage, when slowed down, shows it in exact detail. Conspiracy theorists claim aliens are involved but as the newly recovered 90 years old Mr.Oogway said, if they're here to heal, who are we to stop them? The sentiment, shared by most of the 'healed' and their relatives, is where this author finds himself. Our only question is this: Will this mysterious Messiah, the one who sent the Healing Dragon, ever reveal his identity?   

Police statement released after investigating the area identified as the epicenter of the light wave:

'Nothing here – except a load of black burn marks on the concrete… somebody did a number on their cars. I think instead of wasting time with this light wave thingie, we should focus on the underground gangs who've become bold enough to hold these events right under our noses. The "Healing Dragon" is nothing more than another trick of light – we're living in the modern world, give me enough resources and I'll create dragons too. These conspiraists, they look at these marks and say 'Ooh, Nazca lines, must be aliens!' You know what I see? I see tire marks – burnout, if you may… that is carbon and we can have the forensics examine it but I know a tire burnout when I see one. Racing gangs, that's what we'll investigate. And I'm warning each and every one of you racer punks… not in my town!'
