TOP NEWS OF THE WEEK 
THIS YEAR'S DARWIN AWARD 1

    Athena Briggs, Cloak Division, BlackCard, SCL 9.3  After blowing her cover while infiltrating a DN cell, she came under two retaliatory attacks. The first was a close range engagement that she dispatched by emptying twin FEN 603's. The second ought to get a Darwin award (or SLA
equivalent)...
  While walking through a crowded street in downtown, a DN sniper started taking shots at her from a nearby 2 story.  He missed the first two shots (short range with a walking target!), then started pegging civilians instead. Briggs ran to the roof of a nearby building and got the drop on him. He knew she had him cold and lowered his rifle. Happily, she pulled both triggers only to realize that she hadn't reloaded either pistol from the earlier fight. He took his time and terminated the
op with a head shot. Apparently he could hit stationary targets. -Robert Wood, 
SCL 8A, Third Eye News
 
 

MORT'S WINTER FASHION NEWS

  Clown Fabrics© revealed their latest design of clothing this week with the Clown Capes©.  Not much use for the combat operative, but certainly the fashion accessory for those crazy nights out at the
pit.  The Contract Killer ‘Bo-Bo’ has recently signed up with Clown Fabrics© so we can expect to see some crazy kills out there soon. -GAV Clough, SCL 7B, Third Eye News
 
 

 SURPRISE AND BEDLAM ON THE SET 
OF "KILLING THINGS FOR MONEY"

  The audience was shocked last week, when after a lengthy struggle and the deaths of 9 of the 12 contestants, a show down resulted between contestants Samantha Heiliger and Henry the Elder. Not a soul in the audience doubted that "Henry the Elder" was, in fact, the vicious serial killer known as "The Baker's Dozen" killer.  Samantha's victory over Henry the Elder
presented the audience with a climactic ending, though certain members [this reporter among them] had troubling questions about the nature of some of "Henry's" kills.
  Well, our doubts were confirmed when the final remaining contestant, Michael Mortliebe, came on-camera to congratulate Samantha, only to be shot through the head by this violent vixen! Yes, much to our suprise, Samantha too was a serial killer - the infamous "FEN Feline" who caused such a
ruckus last year by meeting men in bars and offering them tantalizing favors, only to drill the unfortunate men through the head with a 10 mm hollow point from her FEN 603 in the alleyway behind the bar. Samantha's
squad "The Sons of Sam", an all female team, was scandalized by her behavior and lost their contract with "Playmort" magazine.
  Two killers in place of one.  What will those wacky Third Eye folks think up next? -Peter Bogdasarian, SCL 7B, The Storm Factory

A DAY IN THE LIFE 

Robert Smith, SCL 8C, Mort Times
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Each week we look at one of many people who live and work in the World of Progress.

This week: The SSO Worker

MT: Name?
WC: Wendy Connors

MT: What do you do at the SSO?
WC: I disperse cheques to the needy.

MT: Does it pay well?
WC: It pays the bills and is much more then is GIVEN to everyone else.

MT: So everyone who doesn't work, gets a cheque?
WC: Yes they do, though it's not much.  Only 40 unis a month which barely covers rent.

MT: Is that why you got a job?
WC: You better believe it, beside I'm bigger then just this. <stands up> Just look at this body.  Do you think I deserve to be among those people? <points out to the lobby>  How else do you think I'm going to be noticed by the media?

MT: So you want to be an actress?
WC: Everyone has their dreams. This is ok for now and pays for my acting classes, but I want more. I want my own TV show. I want Deity, he will be mine, oh yes he will.

MT: I see you certainly have set your sights high.
WC: A girl has to have standards. Besides, he's so gorgeous. I'd love to be rescued by him.

MT: Well, thank you for your time.
WC: Your welcome, here let me sign that, it'll be worth a lot of money someday.
