[HOE] The Librarian's Almanac for August 13th

[Michael Cone <mkcone@yahoo.com>]

LYNCHBURG, CALIFORNIA- Scouts from the Red Rock
Trading Company have arrived in town with a report of
their unusual expedition. The team was sent out to
poke through Burnt Craw Valley in the southwestern
portion of the Maze. They claim to have discovered a
medium sized cargo ship beached on a shallow rock
outcropping. Once they had managed to lower themselves
on the deck, things got weird. The ship’s deck was
covered in a huge amount of gray dust, almost two
inches thick. When the scouts forced a bulkhead door
and crept inside, they discovered a huge amount of
plastic and metallic piping running the length of the
vessel with similar drifts of the gray dust. The odd
fluidic systems were so numerous that the hallways had
been reduced to crawlspaces. The scouts decided to
regroup to get a series of heavy tools and perhaps the
advice of a junker. When they got back however, they
were appalled to find out the date was late December.
The scouts had left Lynchburg on a sunny Valentine’s
Day.

FORT EMERSON, IDAHO- Townsfolk are reporting a
sighting of the long lost courier called High-Dive
Mason. Mason was spotted as a prisoner in the company
of a large group of wasters making camp around a
grounded hovertruck. The spy in question mentioned
that one of the wasters effecting repairs on the
vehicle fits the description of  “Hellcat” Bradley,
the renegade Arizona technoshaman. Father Time, a
schismatic Doomsayer has announced that Joan, the
leader of the Schismatic Glow Priests is interested in
aiding Mason’s rescue.

Submitted by the educationally-inclined Brother
Dominic:

SCRUB SANDS, KANSAS- It the distinct pleasure to
announce that the resident Librarian of Scrub Sands,
John Augustine, has been elevated to the rank of
Librarian Proper. We complement his unswerving
dedication and endless drive to regain that which has
been lost. On another note, Brother Augustine is
requesting aid in analyzing an unusual artifact
uncovered in the Gomorra California State Park. It is
a small bone, roughly four inches long with two dozen
carved runes on the surface and wrapped in spirals
with gold and silver wire. Those with revealing
information may earn time on the Librarian Network.

SEATLLE RUINS, WASHINGTON STATE- Mad Jack McMad, the
feared leader of the Madpeople Mutant gang, has been
pestering local residents for two dozen crates of pink
plastic parts and six miles of string in varying
lengths. He has announced an intention to cure world
hunger.

WEST SACRAMENTO REGION, CALIFORNIA- Locals are
reporting a recurring plague of locusts of unusual
size. A single specimen is almost four inches in
length. There have been three attacks in the past week
including a serious foray into the local shelter.
Casualties were light thanks to the warning from Two
Feathers, a local shaman of dubious repute.

SACRAMENTO RUINS, CALIFORNIA- Any Librarian with
evidence of a murder outside the explanation of the
mundane (gunshot, edged implement, fisticuffs) is
urged to report to Brother Jax as soon as possible.
The High Life dormitory is currently off-limits to
anyone of Journeyman rank or less.
