Silmani Incident

The Silmani Incident is an event that occurs during Long Arm of the Gnaw. The incident follows the death of Lisa Silmani, head of the Silmani Corporation robotics firm. Her daughter, Rosa Silmani, is the main protagonist of the event, who seeks out the bizarre circumstances that surrounds her mother's death.

History
Preceding investigations remain unclear to the details of Lisa Silmani's death. First responders describe the death as "grizzly," pointing out how Doctor Silmani's arm was crudely chewed off from the shoulder. The scene of the crime occurred in one of the corporation's robotics labs, where numerous prototypes and machinery were also viciously destroyed during the onslaught. The lab was shut down for several weeks due to "the blood staining everything, from the walls to the ceiling."

Preliminary reports also discovered that a specific robot went missing from the lab. This robot, which was in a prototyping phase, was described as a farming robot. Its capabilities remain classified to the corporation but police believe there is some sort of connection. The bizarre circumstances surrounding Lisa Silmani's death jumpstarts Rosa Silmani's further inquiry into the investigation.

Significance
In conjunction with the death, the significance of the incident surrounds the Silmani Corporation's preparation to unveil their farming robot to public presses. Colleagues had worried that the prototype would look too ghastly for the public eye but Doctor Silmani remained adamant that the issue would be rectified before the unveiling. Preceding the event, numerous robotics firms were already under scrutiny about corporate espionage and unethical strategies for research. The death of Doctor Silmani fueled the claims, and much of the gossip and journalism surrounding her death points to sabotage, but the truth remains unclear.
