In the aftermath of the Bongobazar fire, a seller lifts a salvaged bundle — burned, half-burned, or spared — above the crowd, moving through smoke and sorrow.
This image was taken at the scene, shortly after the fire was brought under control. Amid the charred chaos of Annex Tower and its surroundings, this moment reflects both despair and determination. Even in loss, the instinct to hold on and rebuild remains unshaken.

On May 26, 1917, northern Illinois and Indiana experienced a significant weather event spawning a tornado that caused significant destruction. The storm system spawning the tornado began at 3:10 pm in Mendota, Illinois, and traveled at a rate of approximately 40 miles per hour. The storm headed in a primarily easterly direction with a very slight southern tilt, traveling just north of Elwood, Illinois, then between Crown Point and Cedar Lake, Indiana, through Hebron, and then ending in Kouts at 5:56 pm.
Intense darkness was reported by those directly in the path of the storm. In Illinois, hail stones from the storm system were measured to be the size of hen's eggs, while in Porter County hail stones measuring six to ten inches in circumference and one-half pound in weight were reported to have fallen thickly in the area. Property loss in Porter County alone was estimated to $500,000 (approximately $8.4 million in 2008 dollars).
In Porter County, the mile wide tornado killed two individuals, D. B. Resh, an old farmer, and fifteen year old Julia Lane. Numerous livestock were also killed, twelve family dwellings were destroyed, and significant timber and orchards in the path of the twister were heavily damaged or destroyed. The Porter County Red Cross, which was founded just one month before this tornado (April 26, 1917), raised $2,000, while the American Red Cross appropriated $3,000 to Porter County for contingency relief. These funds were used to assist forty families in Porter County.

Often when huge battles with few survivors in space gets left alone by the victor since they often have a campaign to finish, they can always salvage any loot later or they send for the Tech-looting unit which can take months to arrive at the spot, far than enough time for looters to get there and "salvage" loot for them selves!
it is dangerous and illegal according to galactic general inter-space law, but this team are experts, but in their last "Salvage mission" they lost one of their members a Tri-Phone he accidentally triggered an unexploded space-mine or was it Graves who triggered it because he wanter a bigger share of the he wanted a bigger part of the loot?
