[HOE] The Librarian's Almanac for September 28th

CARMEL, CALIFORNIA- The Double Whammy has struck again. The town of Carmel
in the Great Maze woke up in the morning to discover four guards dead by
strangulation and poison. What was stolen has folks scratching their heads;
twenty bags of old fertilizer, a dozen used car batteries and a case of
garbage bags. A friendly Doomsayer identified the felonious pair as Red
Hide, an Indian from Deadwood and Cho Fat, a young Kanger mercenary from
Turtle Isle. The troublesome twosome was tracked as far as the Sierra Madre
mountain range where the trail was lost. California Law Dogs have begun to
worry about the ease at which these two can come and go as they please;
there is a generous reward for the capture of the thieves.

STRATFORD TOWNSHIP, NORTH TEXAS- Traders report sightings of a vintage 1977
Firebird, painted completely gray, racing the back highways of the state
making no engine noise what so ever. This marks the first sighting of the
so-called "Silent Runner".

APACHE JUNCTION, ARIZONA- From the Engineer's Society, Piper the head Junker
made a grave pronouncement. One of his students, Alice Bradley, has been
excommunicated from the Society for refusing to follow the organization's
strictures. No other member is allowed to have any interplay with Bradley.
For other technoshamans, Piper warns that the woman often called "Hellcat"
was highly skilled in the crafting of armaments and has a foul and hair
trigger temper. She was last seen heading west. "Hellcat" Bradley was armed
with a chain-fed double-barreled shotgun and something called a rotary saw
railgun.
