THE WALKING DEAD?

  A new mystery is currently gripping both SHIVERS and Operatives alike, the dead are vanishing from the Necropolis!  After a routine disinterment discovered an empty coffin on the 40th Floor, several other graves were found to have been empty.  Security cameras revealed the assailants to be three men, two of which wore gas masks and leather aprons, whilst the
other was an old gaunt man in a suit. As for motive, well so far no motive has been established. -Freddy Lennon, SCL 4D, Channel 8 reporter

A DAY IN THE LIFE 1

Quill, SCL 9, Mort Times
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Each week we look at one of many people who live and work in the World of Progress.

This week: Waste Disposal

MT: Name?
RM: Ray Moreau

MT: Occupation?
SR: Department of Sanitation, Waste Disposal.

MT: Does it pay well?
SR: It pays ok, it's not very hard work, even a stormer could do it.

MT: Are you implying stormers are stupid?
RM: Umm... never within their hearing.  Let's just say, they ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer.

MT: What do you do in Waste Disposal?
RM: Mostly, I make sure the sewers are working properly.  If not, we go down and fix it.

MT: Into the sewers?  With Carrien and Pigs?  Isn't that dangerous?
RM:  Not really, a Blue BPN gets issued and we go down with a squad of Ops, so it's not so bad. They get us out if things go badly, which keeps us happy.

MT: What's the worse creature you've ever seen in the sewers?
RM You've obviously heard of carnivorous right?  Well, they're pussies compared to a sewer gator.

MT: A Sewer Gator?
RM: Yeah, some idiot thought it would be a cool idea to bring a baby gator back from Opal for his kid.  Well everyone thought it was a neat idea, but eventually, the kids lost interest in their new pets, so they flushed them down the toilets.  Down in the sewers, they eat everything and get huge.

MT: Huge? About how big?
RM: The one the bite this frother in half was at least 20 feet long. 

MT: What happened?
RM: The gator just popped out the water, latched ahold of the frother and started shaking him back and forth. The frother screamed really loud as his body went flying in two different direction. The rest of the team, unloaded everything they had into it and it just sauntered back into the sewage looking for the rest of the frother, like nothing was going on.

MT: That is truly scary.
RM: You can damn well say that again.

MT: Well, thank you for your time.
RM: Just don't forget to recycle, even Mr. Slayer does.
