Wallspace TDD Stock Exchange prices for Hurston Dynamics Incoroporated have reported massive drops in stock value overnight due to their mainline Attrition Repeater suffering extreme performance degradation. Customers have been ripping off their Attritions from their ships and replacing them with Arclite pistols which now perform better as a ship weapon replacement than the aforementioned Attrition. Hurston Dynamics has responded by laying off workers by the hundreds. The planet of Hurston has seen unsafe levels of smoke from factory workers burning Attrition Repeaters in protest. Some weapon modders have discovered that burnt Attritions actually perform better than factory new off the assembly line as the burning process increases the fire rate. Can Hurston Dynamics recover from this performance crisis? What in the interstellar world caused such a brain fart in Hurston's research & development team to make their mainline repeater worse than a 9-series Longsword at 2500 meters? This has been What In The World News Reporting.
