Vampyre Strikes Again!  - The twelfth death this week has been reported.  Jade, SCL 9A, was found late last night by a Shiver Patrol.  SGT. Hopskins, the officer in charge, stated, "There wasn’t a mark on her.  She was just laying in a pile of trash with a look of absolute horror on her face."  It appears that we may have a new serial kiler, who has already been dubbed "The Vampyre".  Jade is survived by husband Aries and two children, Amythist and Aries JR.  Aries was heard saying, "I’m personally going to rip this guys $!(# off and shove it down his #^(&!%@ throat." SGT Hopskins has assured us all that the culpril will be brought to justice. -Freddy Lennox, SCL 4D, Channel 8 reporter
 
 

   ORAV  - This week SLA industries reveals its newest weapon against chaos- the ORAV.  Dr. Johan Grange of the Ministry of War was qouted saying, "...it is the first piece of war world technology to see active service on Mort itself. It is a rapid response and assault vehicle capable of a full 360 by 360 field of motion and it outclasses anything the opposition can throw at us."  Though most of the information about the ORAV is still classified, a field demonstration was given in which an entire DarkNight cell was completely eradicated within 1 minute.

   Sector G-10 is currently being prepared for the next weeks event.  All Contract Killers are asked to contact George O’Malley for sign up information at 02-493-8761.  A new season is about to begin and old scores are going to be settled.

Each week we look at one of many valuable but oft forgotten employees of SLA Industries who keep the world running. 

This week: The Loftrat Catcher 

N: Name? 
T: Terence Moe 

N: Occupation? 
T: Vermin Controller, specializing in loftrats. I work for the Department Of  Sanitation. 

N: Does it pay well? 
T: Okay, I guess. Not great. You don't need many qualifications to be a catcher. 

N: And what do you have to do? 
T: People phone the Dep-of-San and say they've got loftrats. Or usually, they just  say they've got furry things with long legs scaring the children. Then I get in the van and go where they say and look for nests. I put poison down, but rats are tough bastards. You have to put down really nasty stuff to have any effect. I've heard it's worse for humans that it is for rats, but I’ve never eaten any  so I don't know.

N: Abdomen... legs... loftrats aren't mammals, are they? 
T: Too damn right. They're spiders, apparently, though they don't look much like any other spider I've ever seen. They have got eight legs, but you only ever  see four: the others are tucked up under their body for holding food.  We call them arms. 

N: So apart from hoping they eat the poison, what else can you do to them? 
T: If I find a nest, I flame it. A small canister of meths and a rag... sorted. Also, they burst if they fall, so if I see one running about I give it a boot down the walkways. I'm telling you, they explode after a few floors! That's what most of the gunk covering the walls in lower downtown is. Loftrats which have fallen down from upper downtown! 

N: Gruesome. 
T: You get used to it. 

N: Thank you for your time, and good luck in the future.
T: And yourself.

   As editor of The Mort Times, Mort Dead Tree Edition, I try to answer all questions concerning our paper and the reports in a public forum. -Eric Larsen, SCL7C, MT 

Dear MT, 
   Me and my squad, Resident Kaos, would like to be sponsored by your business. We are a strong, competenct, investigative team who have never failed to complete a BPN. We have been on the media quite a bit lately with the removal of a large carrien nest early this week. We look good as a team and work well together. -Regulus, SCL 9A, Stormer, Investigator 

Dear Regulus, 
   We are currenlty not looking for any squads to sponsor. Even if we were, we'd certainly pick a squad with a lot higher SCL level then yours. I'd strongly suggest getting a financer to approach businesses for you.

Dear TBP, 
   Did Delia ever kill that arsehole Icon?  That little shit needs to die! To have the audacity to harm our Delia. Icon, I'm gunning for you! -H'rdw'r', SCL 8B, Shaktar, Anarchy Inc. 

Dear H'rdw'r', 
   We too love our Delia and can sympathize with your feelings. Icon is currently still on the loose, but Delia has not stopped the search for her assassin. We will give 50unis to anyone who gives us information on the whereabouts of Icon, so Delia can kill the f@cking freak.
