20 May 2074 – Darwin, Australia – News form the Australian Outback continues to hold disturbing reports about the mana storms for which the region is known. Locals claim the storms are growing larger and more violent, threatening Darwin, Port Douglas, and other, once storm free zones. Perhaps even more disturbing, locals say, is that Aboriginal Shamans have been seen dancing with the storms, evoking fears that they are calling spirits to intensify them and drive other Australians out of the area completely. “Its war” says one local fisherman, who did not want to have his name used. Aboriginal leaders call the claims “baseless.”
