URGENT: Infested Wasteland is attacking the Toronto Downtown area. Portal not yet found, multiple worms active (live map). Civilians not in active danger are advised to shelter in place immediately, as the worms find new targets based on the vibrations produced by movement.

[To Local DRT-registered espers, both currently active or retired]: For those who want to volunteer - if you have a power useful for fighting or containing Infested Wasteland's worms, reach out to containment response if they haven't contacted you already. If you have powers that would be useful for search and rescue, reach out to disaster relief if they haven't contacted you already. If you have powers that'd be useful inside Infested Wasteland, reach out to expedition coordination if they haven't contacted you already. If you fall into none of these categories and still want to help, please self-sort into other dungeons in the area based on this priority queue.

Please remain calm and focused; further updates to come.

UPDATE #2: Infested Wasteland's portal has been found and marked on the live map. We have a plan for preventing further worms from entering the city. 

If you want to be helping out and aren't already in the system, please report to containment response, disaster relief, or expedition coordination, as appropriate for your power. 

Emergency medical care is available at these locations for any worm attack victims, though wounded espers should at their earliest convenience have their injuries reported here for triage purposes.

Please remain calm and focused; further updates to come.

UPDATE #5: Infested Wasteland is using secondary portals to deploy worms into the city.  

Please remain calm and focused; further updates to come.

UPDATE #9: As a reminder, the worms are returning to Infested Wasteland through the underground secondary portals they attack from and are not roaming through the city to strike. There have been zero observed cases of worms striking due to footsteps or other ground-based movements. The shelter-in-place order has been rescinded. Please stop discouraging people from moving along the ground.

Please remain calm and focused; further updates to come.

UPDATE #10: Given the proven infeasibility of containing Infested Wasteland, we are pivoting to an elimination strategy. Our current strategic priority is working on getting all victims evacuated from the dungeon and locating the core. Sensor help is being brought in. Given these developments, we are particularly interested in people who believe they can operate usefully in the dungeon itself - please reach out to expedition coordination.

Please remain calm and focused; further updates to come.

UPDATE #24: We are continuing to apply damage mitigation strategies while our specialist sensor maps out Infested Wasteland's interior, a process we expect to finish sometime today. A preliminary strike team is being assembled in preparation for assaulting the core. 

As a reminder, any injured espers or anyone who was exposed to the black sandstorms inside Infested Wasteland should be taken to the medical barge for assessment and treatment.

Additionally, do not approach the bisected worm remains left behind by Rhombus's containment deployments last night. Their internal fluids are highly caustic, and DRT specialists are performing further investigations on additional dangers they may pose.

Please remain calm and focused; further updates to come.
