Building commision meeting was disrupted by angry residents demanding immediate sewer repiars in the Lochlann neighborhood, downton.
  Residents stood on chair and tables, waving signs and changint. "Clean it up!" and "Water, water everywhere, and every drop does stink!"
  Clayton Lucas, speaking for the Loclann Residents Association , said that the sewers have been backed up for a month, creating  "first an unsightly nuisance, now a major health hazard, son to be a major political issue."
  Lucas, on behalf of the neighbors, demanded immediate sewer work, threatning to disrup constructin at other city building sites, and even to disrupt traffic and commerce throughout Mort, saying 'no money for luxuries while we're living in [fecal matter]"
  Shivers were called to disperse the crowd, however, until the sewers are fixed, we haven't heard the last from Mr. Lucas. -Sara Bryant, SCL 7C, Third Eye News 
 
 

  The MCL, after a great start, has acquired an unusual celebrity.  Craig the Carrien, had a bad start on his first week.  After taking all seven bullets from a BLA 'Blitzer', he fell over and was considered dead.  He quickly recovered and for the last three weeks has run down lane four with deadly speed and killed all his would-be killers.  This week he does it again and this time he gets Zombie, Human, SCL 9A.
  This new celebrity has a large following as some betting halls are making side bets on how many bullets the weekly victims will get off, before Craig kills them.  How long will Craig last, is something we will all have to wait for, but until then, it's a safe bet to mark 0 for lane four. -Craig Magee, SCL 7D, Mort Times
 
 

   Gremlin On-Line services have revealed the latest in mechanics repair aids. The Gremlin On-Line ‘Imp 422’. This is a substantial improvement on the other models in the field and contains numerous tweaks that can even make the system fun to use. The package comes with customizable head set (Wraithen, Shaktarian & Stormer helmets
are all available at no extra cost) and choice of sprite, with all the major races getting a sprite of their very own. Gremlin have also included their traditional Gremlin Sprite for those that feel nostalgic. Aside from the gimmicks, what can the ‘Imp 422’ offer us that's new? The ‘Imp’ has the capability to not only guide but will also passively scan the areas being worked on and will give a guide (our technicians say rough guide) as to possible future problems the vehicle may face. The sprite has a far greater A.I. and offers far more help than the other packages out there. This all combines with the vehicle packages that Gremlin are offering that customizes each Sprite for individual cars and you have an altogether impressive
system. The individual upgrade packages are expensive to purchase but the deal comes with information on personally customizing your vehicle so if you are an avid mechanic it could save you money in the long run. The Gremlin on-Line ‘Imp 422’ retails for 4000C. Upgrade packages are 1000C and cover a single vehicle completely. -GAV Clough, SCL 7B, Third Eye News

Each week we look at one of many people who live and work in the World of Progress.

This Week: The Fireman

RS: Name?
BB: Fire Marshall B’b

RS: Isn't it unusual for a Shaktar to not be an Operative?
BB: It is my honor and duty to both SLA Industries and my family to be a fireman.  My entire family have been Shivers of one sort or another since they came to Mort.

RS: So you have family in the Shiver Department?
BB: Yes, I do.  I have two brothers, who are both Dispersal Shivers and one sister who is also in the Fire Department.  Our parents died four years ago while on patrol, when they were ambushed by DarkNight.  They were Shivers as well.

RS: That's too bad.  Is it true that if anyone gets in your way, while going to put out a fire, you can run them over?
BB: We have loud sirens and bright flashing lights, to warn people to get out of the way, but if they do not, the reinforced front plate is designed to smash through even an APC if it is in the way.  So, if we have to, yes, we will run them over.

RS: Then putting out fires is very important.
BB: You bet it is!  With the way the city levels sit on top of each other, a fire could easily spread to the surrounding buildings or up to another level.  Then there is the smoke damage, water damage and many other problems that can occur because of the fire.  It can get very nasty, very quickly.

RS: Those are some truly scary thoughts.
BB: They are, so an accidental death or two, on route is more acceptable the losing whole sections of the city.  Look what happened on Devil's Night.  Several city blocks were without water or power for weeks.  So, please, make way for us when you see us coming.  We do not desire to harm anyone, but we will not hesitate to drive over people to put out a fire.

RS: How much problems do you have with arsonist?
BB: You see this? It is a blank extermination warrant. If we catch an arsonist, we fill it out. Yes, we have a lot of problems with idiots trying to cause fires, but we do what we can to minimize the damage that they do.

RS: Well, thank you for your time.
BB: Thank you and remember only you can prevent fires.
