DUPONT CIRCLE - A strike team of Thunderfist troops, lead by the Commander, struck at a raider den in Dupont Circle this evening. Despite being outnumbered four to one, the troopers of Thunderfist swept through and annihilated the opposition, with one trooper suffering only a sprained wrist. Corporal Adam Dawson, the injured trooper, was dived on by a crazed raider but flung him off after punching him in the throat, collapsing the raider's trachea. Corporal Dawson is expected to recover in a week. Though the raid was successful, Sergeant Nathaniel Cassotto expressed his frustrations when interviewed by the Olympus Circular. "I know we've been successful in suppressing raider activity but we could be doing a lot more. Dupont Circle is a known raider den that the bastards keep flocking back to. If not for the war with Irons' Brotherhood, we could spare a lot more manpower on regular patrols to this area and other known raider hideouts. As it is, we only have troops guarding settlements, one patrol going on between Rivet City and Underworld and another between Rivet City and Megaton. It's clearly not enough. We should be taking the fight to those bastards, like we did today, and not just sitting back and waiting for them to attack."
